Song/ Poem I Wrote Over 3 Decades Ago

My girlfriend at the time and I were sitting in my car one night. She pointed up to the sky and said…“If I wished upon that Star, would you make my dreams come true?”

She wanted me to propose marriage to her.

So I went home that night and penned this…

Beautiful to Me

Well she always wears a smile
Under green eyes faded blue
As she lays down there beside me
And whispers ‘I love you’.

Won’t you tell me all your troubles
You know I’ve got some too
If we spend a little time
We can work things through

And sometimes I wonder
Could you be any more beautiful
Still I wonder could you be any more
Beautiful…to me

If I wished upon a Star
Would you make my dreams come true
Or will you live your life promising
Those empty words 'I do’

They say love can’t wait forever
Believe you me I’ve tried
Tell me we will be together
And never question why

And sometimes I wonder
Could you be any more beautiful
Still I wonder could you be any more
Beautiful…to me

I was 23 years old when I wrote this…way before my Sz diagnosis. I still think I did some of my best songwriting work in my early 20’s.

I really should revisit some of my older pieces…they’re in garbage bags in storage somewhere.
