Joy is what fills the heart of they which hold within the mysteries of a friend A passion unknown unto words Within them fall the tears of all things they endure as one And from their eyes diamonds fall, So precious every one Dear within, the memories they caress with sorrow And gather them today, for what may come of tomorrow Priceless Priceless ever are these moments that we spend with those so dear Comforting now to know that they are near Yet there comes a day when they see the eagle soar And feel within their hearts A passion so much more As we stand beside them when that gleam glows in their eyes What comes of tomorrow My friend's lost paradise And though a distant barrier wells up within the heart There is a joy inside To know the joy of a dawning start Standing there beside them on that road to paradise We say farewell and weep Knowing they must also compromise And so we hold them close and whisper in their ear Please take with you these memories. Then from the eyes, Your tear.
I INSIST ! Your singing of "Come rain or come shine" (on your website) is just ridiculous, amazing. Thank you for the goose Dane. Can't wait the 30th. C
Hi Dane, Looking forward to your October 14 & 21 shows at The Metropolitan Room in NYC. Your show at the Cape Cod Jazz Festival was memorable...what a night! I know your New York gig will be just as wonderful. See you soon my dear friend! Bob
Dane Vannatter is absolutely the best thing that could happen to a Songwriter! He goes right to the heart of a song and makes it his own with a sensitive understanding and interpretation of a lyric and deep emotion that only a true artist can impart. Bravo!
Bob Levy
