TRIBUTE TO SOUND


Music is a tribute to sound

From the wien of a electric guitar

Piercing through to your inter ear

To the soft sound of a violin

Played with emotion.........

It can Pearce your heart

 

The voice is a tribute to music

The soprano, the base

The tenor, the alto

And falsetto

With the right word

The story of music can be told

 

Music can touch the soul

With some one special

Or all alone

Pictures with sound

Feeling with every note

 

When I see the moon

I think of Michael Jackson

In sight, but out of reach

 

When I hear a screeching guitar rif

I think of Prince

I have to have more of this

 

When I smell coffee

I think of the Ink Spots

All that Java Jive

 

When I see a painting

I think of Nat

He is Unforgettable

 

When I see tap-shoes

I think of Sam

The only Candyman

 

When I think of opera

I think of Carmen

When I think of Carmen

I see only Lori Mirabal

That is all
