Then and Now

Reincarnation, perhaps.
I had a vivid dream a long time ago and wrote this. I recorded it on my ol' 4-track cassette. I still have it someplace, a lot of 12-string guitar harmonies.

In in my other life, I was but a peasant, and you a queen
Watchin' you from the street, the most beautiful face I'd ever seen
I caught your eye, and you looked the other way
And I don't know why, but we met again today

Well I loved you then, and I love you now...
Wish you could see the past
Please tell me when and tell me how
I can win your love at last

You can walk away and pretend you've never seen me before
But don't keep me hangin' on, you know
I can't take that anymore
Tell me it's true, you remember long ago
Like out of the blue, now suddenly you know

That I loved you then, and I love you now
Wish you could see that past
Won't you tell me when and tell me how
I can win your love at last

So please tell me how I can win your love at last

Donna!!! Hello, Dear Heart! Coming from another MAJOR DanFan and serious music enthusiast, your wonderful comment melts my li'l heart! A silly fantasy, but I like to think he might have liked this one (I'm not fishing here- lol- I'm rather proud of this one, as seemingly obscure as it is. Some folks don't delve deeper than the front nine vids).

Hope your whole week is as beautiful as you three and your Sunday! Love yuhs!

Thank you much, Thomas! I don't get a lot of songs from dreams (I may have just fallen asleep w/ the TV on! But I haven't been subpoenaed for plagiarism yet by the movie-of-the-week folks, so it's cool- Ha!).

I do have another dream-insprired ditty I think I'll put up soon after I weird it down a bit. (!)

Aloha, my friend,

Lee
