I Have to Dream

Posted at March 25, 2013 by JDH in The Words

What lies before me – What stands between
No one can tell me what I have seen
Some see the tarnish I see the gleam
I have to wonder I have to dream
One dream can change you – One dream …

I Have To Dream

Posted at  by JDH in Reflections

It took a lifetime to write this song one afternoon. As August was becoming September, I looked out the back of my house. The hillside was in full summer bloom. I thought about all the times I’d been at this …

Day by Day Sun to Sun

Some places airplanes don’t fly
Some places roads don’t go by

I’m a long way I’m on my way home
Up here the stars …

My Time Has Come My Time is Here
This is the …

THrow me a lifeline Throw me a smile
Call me to just say hello

Music was for dancing and nights that lay ahead

Take a look around Take a Good Look Around
Drove down San Vicente to the ocean bluffs …

Mulholland Drive

Posted at  by JDH in The Words

You should have been here The fog burned away
And left me most of the day
I stopped for lunch and Stayed for dessert
It’s June and this is LA
What I was waiting for wouldn’t arrive
But I like to hope …

Nobody Knows But Me

Posted at  by JDH in The Words

I was busy when the future came
Looking darkly through a glass
We were introduced I loved your name
And the future came to pass
Nobody knows but me Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows what you open and close
Nobody knows but me
You’re …
