about
Another track done virtually during the pandemic. Bill Moring (bassist) and I never got together in person to do this tune! This is part of an emerging EP entitled "Alone Together". It's the 5th of 7 songs.
lyrics
Better than cream cheese and bagels, better than honey on bread.
Better than champagne and pretzels, better than breakfast in bed.
Better than chili Rellenos, better than chocolate eclairs.
Better than hothouse tomatoes, better than fresh Bartlett pears.
Better than dining a la carte, or simply gastronomic art.
Better than anything except being In love.
Better than making a million, better than being a queen.
Better than oil wells and gold mines, better than pastures of green.
Better than finding a horseshoe, better than losing your head.
Better than anything ever thought of, better than anything ever said.
Better than singing right out loud, or being spotted in a crowd.
Better than anything except being in love.
Better than elephants dancing, better than clowns on parade.
Better than peanuts and popcorn, better than pink lemonade.
Better than rides on the midway, better than seals blowing horns.
Better than men shot through cannons, better than fresh ears of corn.
Better than balancing on a wire, or watching tigers jump through fire.
Better than anything except being in love.
Last ending: Better than driving 'round the park or watching fireflies after dark.
Better than anything except being in love.
