Welcome to my world of silent dreams!
I was an only child with no Daddy,
so writing songs, for me,
was always about being born with a broken heart.
I know it’s hard to think that a baby
can come out of a womb, so sad, and all,
but I did.
Mother loved the movies.
Posed me for photos,
so I wanted to be a movie star to make Mother smile.
I thought one day I’d be so famous
my Daddy would come and meet me,
so I majored in Drama.
But that didn’t go anywhere,
So, I married.
Raised a family.
Tried to play Jazz piano.
Fast forward a lot of years to when I get a keyboard
and write this song, Hold On To Your Dreams!
It’s so beautiful I write an entire musical around it.
Set it in New York where I wanted to go after college.
I called it Silent Dreams.
But than didn’t go anywhere, either.
So now, I live in a world of my own creation,
Put up movie star photos like I had when I was little.
Sketch in a journal.
Have a secret garden.
Take photos.
And I always have the music.
And that’s enough.
