What Would It Be Like

A love song…anybody got a picture that would go with this? Let me know in the comments below.

What Would it Be Like? | Song # 349 |Jan. – Feb. 2006

What would it be like to be your lover
And have the love we make fill up the day?
What would it be like to make you “suffer”
In the most intimately pleasurable way?

What would it be like to kiss your fingers
More thoroughly than they’ve been kissed before?
What would it be like to be the singer
Whose voice and words touch you to your core?

Refrain:
I want to touch you, I want to fill your mind
I want to break your resistance open wide
I want to focus you and breathe you up my spine
Beyond the petty cages of our lives
Beyond the confines

What would it be like to share a secret
With a simple look across a crowded room?
What would it be like to cross the threshold
On a winter’s night illumined by the moon?

What would it be like to make you dinner
And to knead your aching muscles for dessert?
What would it be like to kiss your temples
And soothe away your troubles without words?

Refrain:

Bridge:
Beyond the confines of who we used to be
Out to the edges of our sensuality
Where a man and a woman can set each other free…

What would it be like to touch your shoulder
In a way that turns you totally a round
What would it be like to whisper something
In your ear so softly there’s no sound?

What would it be like to paint your picture
To memorize the features of your face
What would it be like to take you walking
And show you something new, some secret place

Refrain:

Rave Review For Letters To Daddy

Just got word that another awesome review of "Letters To Daddy, Jr" has been published!

Here are some highlights:

The concept of an all-kid musical, of course, has been tried before. But the genre is ripe for an update, and Letters To Daddy, Jr. offers a straightforwardness and sincerity rarely seen in today’s musical theater. Creators Mark Shepard and Jill Jaysen have owe a lot to the example set by You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown, but in some ways their take on preteen angst is more believable...

the dedicated young cast is so engaging, and Shepard’s upbeat score so heartfelt, that it’s impossible not to suspend disbelief and go along for the ride...

Rain On A Tin Roof (Live)

This was recorded live in April of 2006 at Watering Pond Yoga Studios in Guilford, CT. Thanks again to Dorothy Cochran & Michael Bowers for all your support!

Rain On A Tin Roof | Song #101 | April 1988

Lull me to sleep like a warm Spring rain
on a tin roof darling
Rise and shine to the clean dawn tune
of the Robins and Starlings

I'm getting that feeling like I'm gonna want
to live forever
And I'd kind of like to know
If we could spend that time together...

Refrain:(X2)
Hey oh, Hey ah
Hey oh, Hey ah
Hey oh, Hey ah

I want to dream with you
Like a rock, like a roll, like a river ride
Can't you see that being with you
Is something rarefied?

You are the distant jet plane
Flash of light across dark skies
You are the wind of my love
You are the sight of my eyes

Refrain:

I was gonna bring you bacon and eggs
and English Muffins in bed
But I started singing in the shower
So I wrote this song for you instead

Hope you don't mind but singing about you
Makes me feel so fine
And the rain on the tin roof
Drums along and hums along in time

Refrain:

Commentary: This is one of my all time favorite songs to perform live because it's easy for audiences to sing along. It's also one of those classic "feel good" songs that can help to shift a person into a place of hope and optimism. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
