Music In My Heart

Soul Tunes~contest


                                      I have to say Rock n Roll music has always
                                                 been a huge part of my life.
                                  From a Beatle to a solo artist, his song " Women" 
                                            was the first I danced to with my wife. 
                                From the roars of Led Zepplen to screams of Ozzy.
                                           "No more Tears" is a way for me to be.
                                     "Behind Blue Eyes" was a song dear to my heart.
                                     As "Journey" was the group when we were apart.
                              Early eighties in Jersey watching Van Halen have their say.
                              As time with a flame and Styks, we ran and sailed away
                                     But it all comes back to the four from Liverpool.
                               That's how I learned to dream, I'm on a hill but no fool.
