La MeriMolienda,ThatSummerDay,WeBelong2Gether,2nd2None


Tell me why the long face, was it something I said that I wish I could erase; don't say that it is too late, we could still assimilate and become the best of friends, I know we'll be okay, more than ok just great like it was on THAT SUMMER DAY when we first met; we're gonna be okay and it will last for a lifetime I am sure; you cannot tell me now that that isn't worth your while, that's just unacceptable, we have been through too much to give in and quit the fight so give us another chance...if you think this is so lame then find someone else to blame, that's just unbelievable, that's gasoline to the flame; just give us another chance and when I stumble and fall just pick me up from the floor (2:45) WE BELONG TOGETHER like fire and ice, like burger and fries...I have been tempted to imply that when we're together we're worse than apart, what a treat when a song has no words or melody; what would mountaintops be without climbers, what would nightmares be without dreams? But when it comes to you and me I'm all too willing and prone to deny we're partners in crime...we work together way much better than when we're apart, we belong together like lemons and limes, naughty&nice, oceans&tides, crispies&rice, kisses&hugs, ice cream&pie, frostbite&ice, countries&flags, burgers&fries (since 1957 they've also been partners in crime)...I know that I can be so mean, trying to quit on us quite extreme, bailing out on you every time I'm supposed to come with, sending money just to cover the bills/guilt but denying you my company, what good is friendship if the friend won't be near tell my my dear, is this too sincere?..Baby we belong together don't let me tell you otherwise every time we fight, I know deep in my heart we belong together and I'm in total denial when I say that we don't 'cause we do like the Titanic and the bottom of the ocean, we sink or swim together like Phelps and the Olympics (7:46)...mano a mano I wanna see you beautiful girl in case you wonder, you are so smart as well...She's got skills to heal SECOND TO NONE, I could eat straight from the palm of her hand, her wishes are my command ever since I asked for her hand she's always been my No. 1, I love giving kisses to the back of her hand, her healing touch has saved me from harm many times over so baby shake your money maker (I'm talking about your hands...) Your healing touch is second to none, you've been helping people all over the place, your skills are second to none and your healing touch is in such demand...there's power in your hands so why go mano a mano with you, my fair lady has the fairest hands on the land (10:56) Me permito contarles la historia de un cachaco y una misionera...who cares whether I write all these lyrics out? This song is titled LA MERIMOLIENDA (merienda+molienda), it's about us working to pay monthly bills, Amy as a physical therapist while I drive a big rig delivering loads and come home for a couple days every two weeks...

More Than A Dream Come True, 2 Peas in a Pod Talking Endless Hours, FollowUinmyDreams, OurSecretRendezvous, WhenILook in2yr Eyes


My life would be so different right now without you, if I had chosen another path I'd be lost, I'd be out in the cold still praying I could find you...if only I could dream it up the dream would not be what we have, I have found in you MORE THAN A DREAM COME TRUE...More than I could see, more than I could hope, more than I could wish in a déjá vu, that's my life with you: more than a dream come true, much more than ever before...I know that I could make other plans without you, but then I'd have to find my own way back to you, to my only dream come true; yet you're so much more than a dream come true; more than life itself, it's my dream with you (4:05) I still remember us...do you remember? We were two peas in a pod jamming up the telephone! Do you remember me riding my bike to your house looking forward to a hot breakfast, it's been almost 20 years to the day since I got that cereal in a bowl, ever since we've been LIKE TWO PEAS IN A POD talking endless hours on the telephone, passing the test of time; and I remember you, always getting invited to parties and winning dancing competitions with your previous boyfriend; and I was calculating that I could be your next one just hoping, prayin' that you'd be the one for me...I do remember me trying to impress your dad, doing dishes just for fun, playing piano for your mom...Timing was not our strongest ally but we took turns beating the test of time (6:47) I try to follow everywhere you go and nothing compares to the beauty of your face; I try to relax but then I fall back in that place, flat on my face; I'll always be your lover, I love you more than my mother yet I feel so far away even when not too far away, 'cause I'm in love with you...I FOLLOW YOU IN MY DREAMS (9:05) Some times we go around the moon or the block but in our flying machine we'll hit the stratosphere from OUR SECRET RENDEZVOUS, I'll call you later with directions baby (14:54) WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES (4:05) VALENTINE REVERIES

Mi hermosa Amyga, "Nada podrá separarnos!" y "Hoy te quiero más que ayer" plus Bundle of Joy


Per your very specific request honey, here are your songs that YOU recorded on your iPhone that day at home with the piano, with no strings attached (no additional arrangements or harmonies, not even that cello I told you about, anywhoo)...I give thanks to God who allowed me to come to know you, what a great blessing being able to share with you this friendship; and although there will be many tests to pass I am willing to fight for our beautiful 'friendship' (X3)...although it is difficult to express with words what I feel, it is so beautiful and real that I cannot explain; because you are my song and the inspiration of my life, it is you MI HERMOSA AMIGA, la dueña de mi corazón, the rightful owner of my heart (5:12) NADA PODRÁ SEPARARNOS [this is the very first song I wrote for Amy, full of bold conviction that we were meant to be together and nothing would ever come between us] Without realizing it I remember all those beautiful moments spent together, it's more than friendship I just know, it is true love, it is something immortal; I see in your eyes the deepness of the love that unites us forever, and nothing will be capable of ending it, nothing nothing will stand against our love; ours is a love so full of His love, that of God our Creator, He made us in His image and filled us with this love...Nothing will ever separate us, because our love has been established in the heavens, and I'm so happy to know that, so happy to know that nothing but love comes between us, that nothing in this life will ever separate us (9:54) HOY MÁS QUE AYER; I love you today more than yesterday but less than tomorrow, and this is the reason why now I am a lunatic without your love, I need you to be closer, come close to me...It's something impossible to understand, the greatness of this feeling that ties me to you, but it is evident that it's getting stronger; it grows more each day and I cannot help it; it grows more each day and I don't want to stop it because I love you, because I love you more and more each day! (11:38) BUNDLE OF JOY [Written from the viewpoint of Amy's mom Libby as she held her firstborn for the first time] Llegaste a mi vida una noche fría de Febrero, la primera vez que respiraste me mostró de qué se trata la vida, el invierno te reclamó de la primavera en su búsqueda de una reina...Tú eres un manojo de gozo en mi regazo, un paquete de alegría en mis brazos.

Our dogter Fibee turned 91 in human years!


Hoy 22 de Enero celebramos el nacimiento de Fibee nuestra canina en el año 2000, por ser una hija amorosa, juguetona, paciente y siempre fiel. Eres una perrita feliz en un océano de felicidad, como siempre te gustó nadar en el Lago Lanier y siempre has sido una buena niña con nosotros. Has cumplido 91 en años humanos (13 X 7 si esa es la cuenta en matemática canina), y cómo vuela el tiempo pero recuerdo cuando eras una cachorrita en mis brazos. Gracias Fibee por haber sido mi peyita todos estos años, espero cuidarte bien hasta el final, ya pasaste en años a mi abuelita, mi papi y a tus padres juntos, ya quisiera llegar yo hasta esa edad siguiendo tu buen ejemplo (3:03) Happy birthday Fibee [when she turned 5 (35) years old in 2005], you were born in a blizzard (1/22/2000), you were born with the wind in Gainesville, Ga (4:25) Jamming with Fibee and Bailey sleeping on the red COUCH (5:34) Fibee I know how much you like the sofa so you can keep it all to yourself; I know I haven't been around much lately, every time you say hello I say goodbye to you but I'm missing you too; I know I could fly with you by my side, you have always been there for me through the hardest times; Fibee let's go safari with Bailey next door, how about it, are you up to it? Your name is Fibee Lynn (Fibilín)...FIBEE YOU'RE STILL MY PUPPY after all these years, you're my puppy rain through sunday, you're more charming than a farming dover, I'll be sure to love you more than harm you 'til the end (8:00) I'm FOOD PROVIDER for Fibee, that's all iAMS, she doesn't care...she sleeps like a little bean, puts herself in a fetal position and I love her very much, my pretty puppy whom I buy big bags of dog food for over at Walmart for $28-$40 ?? She's a boxer mix while Bailey is a shepherd mix but all iAMs is a FoodProvider for FiBailey, and I wouldn't change it 'cause I love my puppies so much, they are so cute and tender... (11:34) FIBEE'S LULLABY. Fibee, ¿por qué no tratas de dormir un rato? ¿Tendré que quedarme despierto toda la noche esperándote? ¿Por qué no te relajas y duermes tranquila, por qué no cierras tus ojos con tu canción de cuna?

A.L.A.S! Celebrating 20 years of OurHappyAcquaintance [w/Bajo la Luna Llena,Dearest Friend,Cuando pienso en ti/Bolerazo]


[1993 was the year I met Amy in her 'barrio' Cedritos thanks to her dad's invitation for me to play at her church around Father's Day. It was love at first sight but timing was not ideal as she had just started going out with a new beau and I was left pining under the moon...in front of her house...while she kissed her boyfriend goodbye...this song was born] (00:00) There is a special kind of charm about confessing the truth when a feeling is rampant, when it is stronger than what can be reasoned out, the heart is moved to its very core, and it overflows with expectation in view of that newly discovered reality...BAJO LA LUNA LLENA I confessed to you my love, I gave my heart to you, and was filled with hope and happy thoughts...full of hope and deep longing; under the full moon you were my heart's desire, in front of your parents' house I gave you my love; it was forever, what I felt back then for you, seven years later I carry it deep within me, it's deep within me honey...I wrote this song for you back in the year '93; Under the bright full moon you clearly were my heart's desire, right in front of your parents' house I gave you my love, ooh! It was forever, the kind of love I felt for you...sí, sí, sí, porque llevo un sentimiento por dentro, muy dentro de mí, que no puedo negar; te estoy diciendo mi amor que estoy guardando lo mejor para el final porque tú lo mereces, porque sí que vales la pena, bajo la luna llena te doy mi corazón...

[Less than a month later she went on vacation with her family to Santa Marta and my abysmal feelings of separation that one week inspired the very existentialist DEAREST FRIEND] (3:24) Nunca pensé que te extrañaría tanto, mi más querida amiga en mi vida tú eres única, la razón por la que me duele el corazón todos los días eres tú, toda mi vida te he anhelado y por fin (A.L.A.S., at last!) te he visto entre la multitud; no sé bien si vas a ser mía pero en mi corazón siento que soy tuyo, no entiendo por qué estás tan lejos pero lo intento y aunque me es difícil cedo, y poco a poco aprendo a sobrevivir sin ti, pero albergo la esperanza de estar juntos algún día y para siempre.

[CUANDO PIENSO EN TI, "Bolerazo" for Amy that I remember showing to my friend Carlos Olea en la Séptima con 72] (9:16) When I think of you I see everything full of beauty and color; you are so beautiful that you bring hope back into my life. When I think of you the fragrance of the flowers comes back to me and the memory of you lightens my heart; when I think of you I see your smiling countenance in the clouds and your face getting close to me as you say that you love me, I am so happy! Cuando pienso en ti, veo arcoíris en el más gris de los azules, cuánto anhelo estar contigo, sé que podría estar por siempre en tu abrazo...
