Morning Sessions, Vol. #1

I'm thinking that I will try and start posting some recordings of songs here, one at a time.  I will include lyrics and a few thoughts about the song.  I hope you enjoy them.
These will keep in the philosophy of BSMS, and be low fidelity, friendly and accessible recordings.



"Sleepy Head", is a song I wrote about my son, as well as my dog, and my wife.  It is a reflection of those moments when I would catch one of them, still in bed, deeply sleeping, dreaming, deeply breathing.  They seemed so comfortable and secure and I felt so glad to watch over them.  So, I guess you could say it is a love song.

"Sleepy Head"

SLEEPY HEAD

Get up in the Morning Before sunrise

I like to watch the light as it brightens up the sky

Maple syrup in my coffee but I don't take cream

like to drink it slowly as I watch the morning scene

I sit and listen for that first bird to sing

waiting on the squirrels to do their morning squirrel thing

everybody's eager to start the new day

finding food, f-i-nd-ing lo-ve finding their own way

(chorus)

Your still sleeping warm inside your bed

your still dreaming pillow on your head

hiding from the light hiding from the day

you'd never leave your bed if you could have your way

My little sleepy head,  My little sleepy head

I stand by your bed long after sunrise

just to watch you breathing before you open up your eyes

I wonder if your dreams they take you far away

maybe in your dreams it's the middle of your day

What will you remember after you rise

if I told you what I'm thinking, whispered that I loved you

would you open up your eyes

Your still sleeping warm inside your bed

your still dreaming pillow on your head

hiding from the light hiding from the day

you'd never leave your bed if you could have your way

My little sleepy head,  My little sleepy head
