Not a Tooraloora Loora .

I climbed upon a gentle breeze That drifted slow on tranquil seas And played soft music , just to please The anguish in my soul . We floated south to turquoise skies And danced on quilted clouds that rise Which misty memories disguise Their glories to extol . And catching dawn's bright morning rays Transforming night to amber haze The chorus sang it's hymn of praise And then , my day was whole . Gliding high , above all harm On thermals , soft , safe and warm Guided by strong Angels arm 'Till the Sandman takes his toll . Inspired by Catie's Lull-A-Bye Contest .

Hi, Sean. This has possibilities as a lyric. The rhyme scheme is quite good, I think, and it tries to be different within a folk metier, which I like. Thanks as always and best to you, Gerard.

Awesome write here, Sean. One of my very favorite songs that I used to hear all the time back in the 1950's on the radio with Arthur Godfrey and I can't remember the name of the tenor ... either his first or last name was Dennis but anyway everytime he sang Tooraloora Loora, I would cry. What does it mean? and, how is your spring on the emerald isle ... smile ...
