(In memory of a loving friend and musician to us all, who would have celebrated his 60th birthday today!)



Here Comes The Sun
By: Noah Eaton
11/30/01

We were walking down Blue Jay Way
It was never too long
It feels like years since it has been here everyday
Then I saw the sun rise when your guitar sung a song

I watch the smiles return to faces, decks of cards shuffle
I want to tell you you’ll forever sing within me
I remember Crème tangerine and montelimat before every Savoy truffle
And I hear your breathe every time your guitar gently weeps

There’s something in the way you sing
Harmony ascends every pluck of your strings
For the farther one travels, the less one knows all so much
Your love is always with me…
Makes me want to stay in my place in the sun
Here comes the sun…

Go, Johnny, go, cherish these sweet blues
We’ll all be trippin’ over your old brown shoe
Sharing all the love you shared with us you knew
For it’ll never be the same when we’re in your queue

It doesn’t matter what chords you play
It doesn’t matter what clothes you wear
We all are children of the sun everyday
There is nothing love can compare

Now take the time, my friends, think for yourself
We all have time to rectify, we’re all in good health
Go where you’re going to, he says to you
Your love is always with us all
Makes us want to stay in our place in the sun

Here’s come the sun…
Sing
Here’s come the sun…
Praise
Here comes the sun…
Dream
Here comes the sun…
Imagine…

Spread your word, share your love
He speaks for us all, lift your hands high
Sing with him, my friends, you can never have enough
Reach your hands to the sky
And stay, stay, stay, stay in your place in the sun
Here comes the sun…
Reach for the sun…
Reach for the sun…



In Memory Of George Harrison

Noah,

A wonderful tribute in poetry--and pictures.  You have a good grasp of language--it's very textured along with the moments you're sharing.  I love how the different songs move thru time along with the narrator.  Excellent work!

He is truly missed.

Thank you for sharing this,

--Matt

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

My throat tightened and my eyes misted as I read your fitting and apt poetic tribute to George Harrison. Somehow, I believe he is smiling and thanking you for this.
Noah, you yourself are indeed a great one and someday the whole world will know it--not just we Passionate ones!

Happy Birthday, George!--and many celestial returns!

Big angel hugs and kisses to you both!
