about

My good friend, Tony's amazing fiancee, Amy commissioned me to write this song for him at the beginning of the pandemic when they were forced to cancel their long-awaited and much-deserved vacation to Zion National Park. These are two of the sweetest people I have ever met and it was an honor to mentally plop myself into their relationship for a few days while I worked on this. And I'm pretty sure they eventually went on the trip.

lyrics

Tony’s Song

Is there anyone better? I don’t think so.
Those waves of gray and white will guide me through the dark,
Past the shadows I had marked
as corners i had feared to roam.
No longer, with you everywhere is home.
No matter how small.
Or if we’re just walking in the mall.
Yeah, you’re something just as rare as a desert waterfall,
that we will see.
One day, you and me.
One day we will see.

C’mon let’s waste a little time.
We’ll laugh the days away inside
this house.
There’s no need to go back out.
Take our time and settle in.
Til our snowy city begins
to green.
Just sit on our butts and scream.
Yeah til even Jellybean finds our laziness obscene.
Did she just sigh?
I think she rolled her eyes.
Looked at me and said “It is I.”

Yeah now Zion it will be there.
It’s been holding strong for years.
Keep an eye on me I swear
I’ll be smiling ear to ear.
Dear, I ain’t going anywhere.

Who knew life could change in a blink?
My, how the stars align.
Changed my life, changed the way I think.
Now I’m laughing all the time.
I’d like to recognize all the joy you bring to my life.
That game you swore you’d learn to play
just for me,
Admit it’s true.
You’re know playing for you too.
And you know I love you dude,
but let me at my Pikachu.
A remote hog, it’s not like you.
You’ve been playing for a day or two
straight. It’s time to eat some food.
Oh you got game over. Phew.
I guess it’s time I took a turn.
I knew you’d love it once you’d learned.
Sure I’d love some dinner too.
Oh, you’re done eating.
That was fast.
Here you go hon, have a blast.
This one’s for you.
