[Yesterday's post was in part a lead in to this little song I composed as a memorial for my uncle Al, I some time after he died in 1976. As often happens with my work, it wasn't really finished until later, in the late 80's when the forth and last verse came to my mind from somewhere]Al's Song
May your troubles be few, and your heart be true!
May everything turn out right before you lay down your head
on your pillow tonight!
And, to make it all complete:
may your dreams all be sweet!
Have a good day, today, all day, today!
From the thorns of despair we pluck the flower, hope!
The birds who dance on air,they seem to know
how to live without a care!
And, to make it all complete
they sing melodies so sweet!
Have a good day, today, all day, today!
To get water from a well, you need a long rope!
The seeds there in the ground they can hear the sound
of raindrops in the air!
Isn't it amazing how they seem
to reach up with fingers so green!
Have a good day, today, all day, today!
The power of the Sun is in everyone!
There's not much more to say but to live each passing day
as it comes your way!
and to make it all complete
you sing to everyone you meet!
Have a good day, today, all day, today!
