Memories are made to grow......

While I was going to College, I played as a rhythm guitarist in a band. In between studies, we jammed most nights. It was easy because the lead guitarist and I had several classes together so we'd study then jam. During this period of my life I wrote around 50 songs.

I ran into a bit of bad luck with some of my songs because I never did get a copyright on them. I should have, I know. Some guys who would 'drop in', played and learned the music taking my songs with them to other bands. I found out about it and needless to say felt crushed. Because of composition/arrangements and me not having them copyrighted, these songs were no longer mine.

Well, that kind of put a damper on my desire to try to become a successful musician, so I just played more infrequently diving deeper into my studies.

What I have today are the lyrics to several of my songs I wrote. I occasionally play the music/melodies and sing them, but very rarely.

What I have to offer this blog and for those who wander in, or take the time to visit, are the lyrics to some of these songs.

I consider the songs these lyrics were written for in the classification of EASY LISTENING. I have been called a Romantic, so truly these songs will be about LOVE or FRIENDSHIP. I hope you will enjoy.

To start off, I will offer the first song I wrote:

MEMORIES

My Mind Is Like An Open Book
For Anyone To Read
The Grinding Wheels Are Turning
To Fulfill Someone's Needs

On A Winter Day In The Morning
I Touched Her With My Mind
Showing Her My Happiness
And Anything Else To Find

She Understood My Feelings
On That Happy Day
Knew How Much I love Life
And For Others To Find The Way

What Can I Say, What Can I Do
To Keep Her Justified?
Lock This Feeling In My Mind
For Cupid Has Never Lied

Memories Are Made To Grow
Like Flowers In The Sun
Always Lasting and Never Wilting
Til' The End Of Time Is Done
