This piece actually has roots back in 1976. It was normal for me to write and write because I was kind of a loner. All that changed with Lori and a real job, but back in 2004 I started back up again. By the next year, I found myself reading my old journals and poems. The first verse was just sitting there waiting for me; lesson for us all, clean up your life, but don't throw away your journals.
The lyric went through a couple of re-writes and it is filled with a bunch of cliches, but isn't sometime real love a cliche?
Today I release this song to the digital world.... here's a taste of it.... Tim is on the piano.
If I could draw
a face dear and warm
With eyes of passion
Smooth lines would form
Paint me in love, As soft as a dove
Sketch out a dream Someone barely seen
Lead me to draw The beauty that I saw
Paint me in love, with light from above
If I could draw
The fine lines of age
There’d be folds of love,
And beauty on a page
Paint me in love, As soft as a dove
Sketch out a dream Someone barely seen
Lead me to draw The beauty that I saw
Paint me in love, with light from above
If I could draw
Sensual curves of shade
Pleading deep dark eyes
and dimples concave

Hi David!
The refrain is terrific, I really like it! Not knowing the melody, the tune from "Play Us a Waltz" ran through my head....from way back when. Dan? Don? Somebody like that. I watched part of "Saturday Night Fever" earlier this week and thought of you, when we were dancing up at the bowling alley and you picked me up!
That's a song AND a picture!
Hugs,
Kim
Hi

Thanks... it's coming your way....
Kim... I think that's why I have back problems.
Dave
Hi David!
....and maybe that's why my back hurts, too!
Hugs,
Kim
