Dr. Seuss Eyes

Several years ago in college I had a song writing course just for fun and to help me complete a minor in music. One of the songs I wrote is called Dr. Seuss Eyes. To me, writing is something to get thoughts and feelings out onto the page or in sound. I wish I was better at it, both language-wise and musically. I had some fun quirky music for this song, but I never really finished it - maybe someday.

Dr. Seuss Eyes

We studied one Spring afternoon locked up inside a room
I studied some, but mostly laughed the day away with you
The future was so far away, a storybook it seemed
But now I think I'm lost in you, and lost inside your dreams

(chorus)
I see Dr. Seuss in your wild eyes, I hear Shakespeare in your thoughts
In your dreams and fascinations, I think I'm getting lost

The Summer came and went back then, we did a thousand things
We read a thousand books back then, all with a thousand themes
Your storytelling face I'd watch, with your enchanting eyes
Then we'd lay down as it got dark, beneath the starry skies

I see Dr. Seuss in your wild eyes, I hear Shakespeare in your thoughts
In your dreams and fascinations, I think I'm getting lost

(bridge)
And would you eat green eggs and ham? And would you stay with Sam I am?
If I fall down and break my crown, would you come tumbling after?
In a kingdom by the sea, I still love Annabel Lee
Like Romeo loves Juliet in the grand hereafter

I see Dr. Seuss in your wild eyes, I hear Shakespeare in your thoughts
In your dreams and fascinations, I think I'm getting lost
