Old Man's Dream
Piano- Blair Masters
Drums- Brian Fullen
guitar Dan Favorite
slide guitar- Steve Hinson
songwriter, bass guitar and vocals-Toney Wright
I don't ask for much
just love and harmony
in a blissful serenity
with you there
I don't ask for much
just for some you and me
your loving company
shows me how you care
I don't ask for much
just for you to see
how much you mean to me
you're my sunbeam
now I don't ask for much
please try to understand
I'm still a young man
in an old man's dream
When the rain's coming down
and the skies are all gray
I'll play my ukulele
while you sing those blues away
and just like that
lo and behold
we're dancing in the puddles
like we're eighteen years old
we're dancing in the puddles
like we're eighteen years old
I don't ask for much

good melody, but you should bring the vocals up more. the background music is drowning you out.

That was brilliant Toney, absolutly loved it. Have to agree with Bill re bringing the vocals up more though.
One of the best I've heard recently, and that is some company your keeping on this forum.
If you do adjust the vocals, please repost the song and let me know where, this is a keeper for sure.
Thank you so much for sharing Toney, pleasure to listen to your work, it really is.

Thanks Toney, that's spot on now.
Some great lines in this song, just one of many:
"I'm still a young man
in an old man's dream."
Love it.

AS an old man myself, I can def relate to this song, and especially those lines. Digging on that guitar work Toney. Music really can take you to a different place and time so I can see him playing and her singing, and just like that they are 18 again, if only for a little while.
Keep em coming man
