Once Upon A Garden

The wonderful thing about

taking photos of the Spring garden

is that you can set it to music

and watch it as the leaves fall


in Autumn.

I’m taking a break from writing every day,

and finishing a garden video


I started earlier.

If I didn't garden, I wouldn't have

poems and lyrics come to me.

I set the Spring Garden photos

to a song I composed

for the Musical: Silent Dreams

SILENT DREAMS is a

musical-within-a-musical,

 set in 1955, near Broadway.

It revolves around the death of a long time

boarding house resident, Nedra Valova,

who played piano for the Silent Movies.

She leaves a diary revealing an affair with Valentino.

It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye

(lyrics)

           

 WHEN I THINK OF YOU,

I REMEMBER

 THE GIFT OF YOUR LOVE,

AND THE WARMTH OF YOUR SMILE,

IT’S SO HARD TO SAY GOOD BYE,

THE ECHO OF YOUR LOVE,

LINGERS ON

 IN THIS SONG,

REMEMBERING THE TIMES

 THAT WE SHARED.

YOU ALWAYS GAVE ME HOPE

FOR MY DREAMS,

AND LISTENED TO MY SCHEMES,

AND YOU LOVED ME

JUST THE WAY THAT I WAS,

A LONELY SOUL,

NOT A DAY GOES BY,

THAT I DON’T WONDER WHY,

YOU BLESSED MY LIFE

WITH YOUR LOVE,

YOU LEFT US WITH SUCH SADNESS,

 IT’S SO HARD NOT TO CRY,

IT’S SO VERY HARD

 TO SAY, GOODBYE.

So now, view my Spring 2011 garden.

and listen to the piano solo


It's So Hard To Say Goodbye.
