about

This is a tribute song written for my parents. I pictured them in San Francisco, in the 1950's, in their early golden days, where they met and got married. I pictured a smokey dinner club, with a jazz band playing in the background. These were some of the places, that they frequented in those days.
Each verse correlates with a season, and winter being the last - representing their last years, in Utah, and in dealing with getting old and my dad's MS, getting worse.
When I first wrote it on my guitar, I found some jazz sounding chords, and then the melody and lyrics just flowed out.
When I took it into the studio, I found that all of these great players and my wonderful producer, Eric, were so in tune to what I had envisioned. They did a great job in capturing the mood and feeling of the song.

lyrics

Back in the early days
When we stood/ in the golden rays of spring time
And all the many fields of/ flowers
That grew/into love’s eternal blue

Then came/ the warm summer days
With all/ her carefree ways
And in our innocence/we/ thought that they
Would last/ forever
With the seasons of us

Then came the fall with all her gifts
As we danced/among the brilliant reds and golds
October came and went /as we/marked our ages
Always hoping/ that there would be another one

Then came/the cold wintry days
The snow/covering/what used to be
All that was left for us to do/was/surrender all
The memories/with the seasons

All the seasons of us
The many seasons of us/of us
Stretched out/over love’s eternal blue
