Hello Folks,
A Loving Dream is central to my Torch Song album. This is a true Helen Morgan, Edith Piaf chanteuse kind of song. A down and outer in love... with hope. I tried to craft it in a George and Ira Gershwin type of Tin Pan Alley genre kind of song. This goes back to the 1920's and 1930's. Gritty, but with heart. Also, I tried to craft the introduction into the way that the Gershwin's worked the intro of Someone to Watch Over Me. I hope to have a demo of this soon. We'll see. A Loving Dream Long were we enthralled More than most we've known So content with all Such a happy home When did we start To grow apart, dear When did your heart roam Life has changed The world's seeped through the seams With its mundane everyday hue Can't resolve, how our once so loving dream Grew still, and shrill, and lost you Care and pain Burrowed deep in new schemes As I aim for someone who's true Yet, recall, our once so loving dream Loves thrills, and chills, now turned blue Shunned kisses didn't shake my trust Small wonder that I'm again fooled Bright as hope clings to stardust I will see my way past this, too Can't explain Sorrows steeped in moonbeams Who will claim this slightly used jewell? Then to fall, for an, oh so loving dream When I'll feel like a loving dream come true Jack T. Leyton 2005 In my writings I've always tried to find the basic core feelings and emotions that people deal with in their lives. Even in their dreams. I don't know if I've found it here, but I think it's close. There's more to come. Stay tuned. Stay Safe and Well. Jack T. Leyton 🖖✌️
