Even I'm impressed with this one.  I guess the Lakers game made me extra inspired.Mike -the stars are eyes in the sky- sung freestyle hello who are you to wonder what the sky has to do with you do you see the stars as eyes or jewels or planets i don't know myself but i can wonder just how they got there and what they do for you and me i don't know why they are here and i don't know why they are going to die with you and me with you i want you to look at the stars and see who you are the sky holds secrets and don't you forget are you your dreams' pilot or do they drive you to do things you don't want to do and if that's true why do you dream among the stars and trees do you seem to watch them as they watch you go now to them close your eyes and go to sleep we'll wonder for free and we will wonder about the sea that reflects them in the water i see that you want to know why the wind blows and you want me to go to sleep with you i can't now i wonder by the light of the fire why we die do we leave more than just bones i want to know why we die and all the leaves have fallen the branches are dead and broken they drift in the violent sea i just want to think about life and i love to kiss you and wonder with you i am sure we'll find out together what we're for and why we wait at the shore instead of trying to swim in the water the waves are so big and so cold we will freeze and we will die if we try to outswim our dreams we will be dashed on the rocks our blood will be red in the sea the salt will overpower our tears of pain we will be as flame burning so bright then dying in night i want you to know that's just the way it goes don't waste your life wasting mine too i am going to swim join me you please join me i am so alone but the stars their eyes see what i can't do they look at us in the waves or just themselves i don't know i can't know i'm swimming i won't drown i will now go to sleep my friend lullaby |

this was a lovely way to see the stars again "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace." Elizabeth Barrett Browning |

excellent writing! moving emotions this was in a word beautiful! i wish i could write a love song such as this. when you are famous don't forget the little people lol. take care! amy "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

Hey, everyone -- glad you enjoyed. And Butterfly slippers: walk to california on your LIPS? Now THAT'S funny! I'm more a poet than a songwriter. My voice isn't my strength. Very narrow range.Later, all. Mike |
