PRECIOUS MOMENTS
Music and Lyrics by Tom Birch

Every day I think of you and wonder how we’ll get along
I do my best, and try to be strong,
I know there might not be that long
I’ll tell a joke, hide a tear, and just sing you another song
We’ll live each day, and find away, cause
I know were gonna prove them wrong

These are precious moments with you by my side
Holdin’ you as the sun comes up the sea brings in the tides
The rain outside don’t mean too much you warm me with your eyes
These are precious moments with you

You’ve got the strength, so keep that smile
Push it just another mile
I’ll be with you, I’ll plead with you
Come on darling’ stay a while
We’ve got so much, road ahead
This is where you belong
We’ll live each day, and find a way cause
I know were gonna prove them wrong

These are precious moments with you by my side
Holdin’ you as the sun comes up the sea brings in the tides
The rain outside don’t mean too much you warm me with your eyes
These are precious moments with you
Precious Moments

SEE YOU AGAIN
Music and Lyrics by Robert LoRusso
(A tribute to Mindis)

ANOTHER BEACON OF LIGHT
MADE THEIR WAY TODAY
LEFT THESE EARTHY BOUNDARIES
TO SHINE AWAY

THE HEAVENS OPENED UP
LET HER SOUL COME THRU
AND IN HER VOICE I HEARD THESE WORDS
TO COMFORT ME AND YOU

THERE’S SO MUCH MORE
THAN YOU CAN SEE
THERE’S SO MUCH MORE
THAN YOU CAN FEEL
THERE’S SO MUCH MORE
AND I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I MEAN
WHEN I,    SEE YOU AGAIN;

WHEN YOU SEE THAT BLINKING STAR
WON’T YOU THINK OF ME,
THAT IS HOW I’M SMILING BACK AT YOU
AND IF YOUR EVER DOWN AND OUT
AND WANT TO SEE MY FACE
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU

THERE’S SO MUCH MORE
THAN YOU CAN SEE
THERE’S SO MUCH MORE
THAN YOU CAN FEEL
THERE’S SO MUCH MORE
AND I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I MEAN
WHEN I,SEE YOU AGAIN

NOT SO FAR AWAY.....
by Norm

"What can we say about Mindis....her beautiful smile...and the sound of her laughter that would draw you in , every time".....
 
Far away....but not soo far away
We'll be with you any day
'Cause we just heard....those velvet words
Rolling from your lips

And they say, and they say,
and they say I'm not soo far away

" I remember the first time I saw Mindis...
she was standing in line for coffee at the Roastery in Mill Valley....in her pajamas!...
so I walked over to her and asked "what's with the pajamas?"....
and she said "I never get dressed until I've had my coffee"

Where'd the time go
Only love knows
Seems we'd just begun ,and now you're gone
And now the whispering...willow tells me
That I must find you in the wind

And it says, and it says, and it says
I'm not soo far away

Oh my friends, gather round
You can hear me in the wind
Far away, not soo far away
You'll be with me any day

La...la , la , la....la , la , la, la , la ,la la la
Norm
