I Sing

The other morning at breakfast, I just burst into song. I checked to see if I was parroting Leon Russell or Barry Manilow, and I wasn’t, so I finished the song here.

I Sing


I sing because I'm happy.
I sing when I am blue,
I sing because I want to,
and I'm singing this one for you.

There is a song in my heart,
that escapes whenever I see you.
There are no words to describe,
so a song will have to do.

I serenade you in your morning,
at lunch when the sun is high at noon,
as we walk hand-in-hand in the sunset,
and by the light of the magic moon.

(Refrain)

A melody escaped me,
when you first came into view.
I'll never forget that day, but then,
every day with you is brand-new.

And when our days are over,
and when our days are through,
our songs will always linger,
in the hearts of other lovers, too.

So, one more time,
let me sing this one for you.

(Refrain)

One more time, one more time,
just for you, just for you...

The link below is my poor attempt at singing this song.  I hope to repost a better version after practice with me smiling on Sunday…  You may need Quicktime, free from Apple.com, to view it.

I have a lot of miles on me and I can tell you that we are own harshest critics. This is very good a cappella rendition; Your pitch is right on the money. You picked a key that works perfectly for your baritone voice...and you are neither a whisky baritone, nor a rain barrel baritone!

A fine song expressing your happiness; it is good to sing. I hope I can find my song again soon. Sure, I sing in the choir, but it is the song in my heart/soul I'd like back. Love and peace,

We all have different talents, and making use of them is good. I love this song. Take care, love and peace.

For all of us, there is that need, that pursuit of such a song. For some who know not struggle and confinement, such is a delusion of their mind, forever making them feel better about themselves, but never really having affect on the heart and mind as yours obviously does. I read some of your reviews and wonder: do some of these people ever think about the cliche words they use, the trite sentiment them love to throw at any and all thoughts that seem to further their cause, yet mean little more than the fleeting impression they hold for an instant, then rush on to the next piece they can drown in sentimentality. Thank doG, you are a man who works at delving beneath the traps for essence. Keep it up and beware of reviewers like S.A. Such non-thinking, but gushing sentiment has always been suspect among those of us who truly know there is no heart worth singing about with the mind.

Ron very nice! I like the picture of bird - is so happy and expressive. I am not gifted with singing voice (that is what I believe today). Thinking about it, I can make a living singing - by charging people for not singing for them :)

Hats off Ron. You keep outdoing yourself always. Only one phrase that made me think for a moment was "your morning"

Oh! What a wonderful morning, Ron.
Morning about being...gentle...with life...others
...yourself.
A poem-song with a gentle rhyme...loving words that
touch with gentle rhythm-whisper and look...gently
falling on a PC screen and a listening ear of your
reader...on Sun-morn...

Oh! What a feeling!...to find out so much about the
gentlest act of caring and it's great power to turn
a life around...making the world less difficult for
most of us...

Great to see/hear you...singing your poem-song.
Ex aequo et bono...score your poem and singing-act
...11 out of 10...Score that...now you share with my
all favorite...Audrey Hepburn's...Moon River "singing"
as seen...during her healing process...at the "Breakfast
at Tiffany's" film.

Yes, your smile's missing...seems the hardest thing
to do...at so many stages of life...but no pressure!
And, yes...don't we all envy that...talent...courage
and...choosing to be gentle...the true virtue of who
you really are...and true understanding of life...no
matter what...
Extra Kudos!...with a smile...much love and positive
energy...posted your way...
Thank you for sharing/entertaining/making my day.

I like to sing too,
but only solo I fear.
I can't carry a tune,
So I sing so low nobody can hear.

Superb, Ron.


Once more, I would like to suggest kompoz.com

Your success rate there might only be one out of 20,
at first.

But it WOULD work for you....
