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

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!

When You Walk Through Roses
Saw some incredibly beautiful Roses the other day…reminded me of this song from my Eyes On The Horizon CD.
When You Walk Through Roses | 2/9/2004 | Song # 336
When you walk through roses
Do you feel the thorns
Or do you see the blossoms
In spite of what you’ve torn?
Can you catch a glimpse of heaven
In a drop of dew?
Or your reflection
In the people around you?
Refrain:
We get what we focus on
So focus in on what you want
Focus in on me, focusing my love on you…
If you cried a river
Would it feel much better
Than if you laughed the ocean
And then chose to dive right in?
When you hear a jazz band
Do you hear the bass or the horns?
And if somebody asked you
Could you tell them why you were born?
Refrain:
If I wrapped my arms around you
Would you feel constrained
Or would you feel connected
And choose freely to remain?
If I then released you
And then danced away
Would you chose to feel abandoned
Or would you see it as a chance to play?
From my Eyes On The Horizon CD.

I Want To Soak You In
A nicely naughty song for Valentine’s Day or any other day of the year! From the “Ocean of Dreams” CD
I Want To Soak You In (#379) January 2008
I want to be the puppy
That follows you home
I want to be your own personal
Garden gnome
You be the ice cream
I’ll be the cone
I want to soak you in…
I want to be your quicker picker
Upper paper towel
I want to be the alley
Where the tom cats yowl
You be the consonants and
I’ll be the vowels
I want to soak you in…
Refrain:
I want to soak you in
I want to breathe you in like oxygen
I want to open my pores and
Absorb you through my skin…
I want to dip my bread
In your gravy baby
I want to drown a little bit
So you can save me
I want to be a piece of pie
So you will crave me
I want to soak you in
I want to be the pickle in your brine
I want to be the filthy
Thought that just crossed your mind
Baby you’re the proof
Of intelligent design
I want to soak you in…
Refrain:
I want to lap you up
Like homemade soup
I want to be the main rooster
In your chicken coop
You’re the song in my head
On an endless loop
I want to soak you in
I want to be the tub
Where you take bubble baths
I want to be the muscles
That you use to laugh
You’re the first one that I think of
When it’s time for a nap
I want to soak you in
Refrain:
I want to be the joke
That you just told me
I want to be the avocado
In your holy guacamole
Write up the order cause
You already sold me
I want to soak you in…
I want to rent a little villa in Tuscany
Where we can bask
In each other’s company
Wake up to the song
Of the birds and the bees…
I want to soak you in
Commentary: Love is supposed to be FUN! enough said eh?
