Sail A Child — Song Lyrics

Hi Debbie! Thanks, that’s so nice for you to say.

Alice Audrey! Yep, indeed. Me singing in my livingroom, which one day will be the master bedroom, when our new living room is finished.

Daisy, thank you so much! Coming from you — rhyme writer I admire very much, it means a lot.

Ahhh, thank you so much, Talon. Your sweet words touch me deeply. I will be honored to share it vocally for you all.

xoxoxo

Hey Lovely Alice Audrey! I remember when I was a teen we had an old old lady living in our dining room — I kid thee not. How sweet was Mom to have taken in one of her mom’s pals!?

Hey Lovely Hilary! I love when songs bubble up, ones I’m happy with. The ones I labor over never seem as free and easy. Yes, my brain is always ticking on a song in one way or another, much to the chagrin of my family having to hear so much singing. But Kelly sings a lot too. Yep, BB mans the, or I guess I should say… bunnies the dingy to and fro the big sloop. He found the robin and became great friends!! Is that the song that goes “And the green grass grows all around, all around, and the green grass grows all around…?” Yes, BB up there in the marsh. See, when I added him to my header, and liked the proprtion and placement of him, as I started developing my eye more, he did look kind of funny just hvering there in space, so I got the bright idea to put a little something in front of him. Any suggestions for other thing to have before him? Flower patches, I guess. Oh yes, lots of sailing on Lake Travis! A big lake.

Dear Lovely Snaggle. I want you to know I almost sent you Kelly’s laptop, as she was back to using the desktop one all the time, but in the end she decided to keep the Acer for when she travels. So, darn. But if I make oodles of cash on selling those books (still not yet taken the photos for eBay — but its’ getting very close) and after I get a somwehat decent DSLR cam, I’m getting you a laptop. End of story on that. I changed up the order of the words a bit on this since you read and commented and now am EXTRAhappy with it. Yeah, I thought about that sailor girl in passing when I wrote this!! Soothing and sweet? How did you KNOW???

Tony, do you strum a few chords on guitar? That’s a great way to start writing a song — jsut see what melody comes to you. I would not be surprised that songwriting became a natural part of your already creative repertoire. Are you prone to sing little ditties you make up? I had to learn to sing, so it can be developed, for sure! And Tony — childlike wonder, ain’t it the best, keeps us who we are.

Hey Mister Keith, fellow songster. Yay! Inspiration is so catching. Thanks a bunch. I look forward to sharing it. Might even brush my hair and put on a clean shirt for the singing and videotaping.

Ahhh, Jingle, thanks. You are so sweet, and sharing is a great blessing for me. Oh, and you mean my images of Blue Bunny? Yes, he does get up to some very interesting and entertaining things, does he not??

xxxooo

Hi Jingle, awards fairy. That is so nice of you, thanks. I hesitate a bit to accept awards because there are so many to post and if I ever left anyone out I would feel like I’d let a friend down. So for now I am preferring to not accpt and post awards to be fair to all. I appreciate you very much, tho.

Hey Keith, I sang the bridge so much yeseterday trying to bring the melody key down a notch I’ve ended up with a sore throat. But this too shall pass. And I shall sail and sing with flying colors.

Well,hi Dee — how are you? Thank you for popping in. I guess you are a merry roving poet like so any of us? Thank you for the award. At the moment I am not posting awards because as I mention to Jingle, I get so many I find it hard to keep up and be fair with all. But thank you.

Hey, thanks, Vered. I appreciate it. I tried adding more light to the sailing pic, as the day was very cloudy, but it would only take so much wihtout looking weird. But it’s okay, I guess.

Hi, Patricia. Well, silly me I am actually looking at one line to improve. But this song is almost there. Thanks! I think it’s shaping up nicely.

Barks!! woof, woof, thanks!!

Hi Barbara, thanks so much. It is important to find ut what out kids want to do and help make that happen for them. Kelly wants to be an actress, so I’ll be taking her headshot for her. And don’t worry, you won’t have to wait to long too hear this!

xoxoxx

Hey again, Alice Audrey. No, I did not know that’s one of your mom’s pet phrases. And did you know some of MY mom’s pet phrases are “every blueberry you pick is one I don’t have to,” “you have to eat a bushel of dirt before you die,” and “why do you always leave your shoes in the MIDDLE of the floor.” At least, those were some of her very common phrases I remember growing up.

Hey Sheila! And I promise you will hear it soon. Just have to blonde up my roots for the show!

Hey Ellis… I may sing it a capella. Worked a little on guitar today, but am going to concentrate first on the voice. So I better get those lyrics memorized before I sing it for you all!

Hey, Cath! Thanks. This one came together very fast, spent maybe 3 hours total on it. Well, fast for me. I do have songs that took like 2 years! Seriously. Not working on it ALL the time, of course. But generally, the better ones come faster — ike Sugar Lady, I Need A Man, and Motorcycle Cop.

Ahhh, Sweet Megan JoyGirl — how great for my heart to see you here again. Thanks for all. Yes — I am so happy with my new lay-out!!! Went mad-crazy with my photo size, and finally got me a photshop-esque program so Blue Bunny can live out his wildest fashion fantasies. Whoo-hoo!!

Hi, Doraz! Well, I have come into the songwriting and performing “thing” rather late, but better to share late, than never. So I do what I can. Thanks so much. I am still getting used to the fact I can kinda sing now, because it’s been a long process for me.

Ahhh, Thomma Lyn, thanks. I bet your little nephew just loves any song or music you play for him. And I bet you can whip up a tune for him and have it shine!! (I have heard your wonderful songs, piano, and voice, as you know! I have your CD!!!) Yes, I think your linky-love button is sweet indeed! Like you.

Hey, Mama Zen! Thanks. A bit deeper than a wedgie song. Tho, I’ve known some pretty DEEP wedgies.

Ahh, thanks Dustus. It is a beautiful unique experience, and I do try to practice what I sing — of listening to and helping her dreams fly high!

Hey Monkey Man! Heading to Target later to buy my hair root blonding dye. So that’s one step closer to pressenting the melody for you all! BC, as in British Columbia? Gorgeous place!

Ahhh, SuZen your comment made me smile with my heart. I never frget about you either, my good dear friend!! And never will!!! I am wondering since I am saving and posting most of my pix as PNGs and not JPGs if that is slowing down the process too? How nice for you to get a “house vacation” from your “lake vacation.” Still, I think I’d like to be at a lake house.

Hey, LL Cool Joe! Yep, me and my big-ass, or make that big-arse photos. Hey, all I’ve done is divide my 960 pixels wide blog into my body area of 790 px wide, a sidebar of 150 wide, and 6 or so pixels of spacing between. Piece of cake for someone who does code!! You CAN do it — where there’s a will, there’s a way. And your photos ARE gorgeous. I’d LOVE to see em big and wild and free!

Ahhhh, J.D. How sweet and timeless of you to say! Thanks!! Oh yeah, and my Bones tune — what a creepy little ditty, eh?? You know the Bones lyrics actually started to be a song for Kelly, but I switched my idea!! It all comes together.
