LYRICS: I still hear the echoes of your voice softly calling Calling to me one last time Somehow in that moment as the world came down around you The voice you needed most to hear was mine All up and down these concrete canyons Through the open skies far above You were calling to me one last time And whispering your love They say our dreams are echoes of hearts that feel a longing Babe I long to hold you close tonight Every night I'm dreaming you're still lying here beside me Now nothing in my world feels right But I know someday the skies again will open And you'll hold me close in heaven far above 'Til then you're calling to me and I still hear the echoes of your love Thanks for calling to me one last time and whispering your love, yes You're still calling to me and I still hear the echoes of your love Echoes of your love...echoes of your love...echoes of your love

about

The Front Porch Country Band became America’s ambassadors of country music to the nation of China as the exclusive guests of the US-China Foundation. The band headlined for weeks on their cross-country tour of China’s greatest cities where they performed their Original American Country music to standing ovations on the world’s greatest stages.

The Great Wall. The Forbidden City. Tiannamon Square. "It's the oldest civilization on earth and they treated us to all of it," says Kimbo. "From Beijing to Shanghai, from ancient inland cities like Wuhan to the beautiful coastal city of Ning Bo, their country is stunning."

Six band mates journeyed from the heart of Pennsylvania's legendary Susquehanna River Valley into the heart of Asia - and they took the great heart of America with them, representing their country's music with class and style. These were historic performances from seasoned artists who can ignite and entertain any audience. In any language. Anywhere in the world.

Here are the songs. This is their story.
