Piano,Tenor Voice - Digital Download SKU: A0.1071039 Composed by William P. Gorton. 20th Century,Contemporary,Sacred,Spiritual. Full Performance. Duration 149. William P. Gorton #6118891. Published by William P. Gorton (A0.1071039). "Reminiscence" is a look back over a long life, recalling the magical wonder of a child at the sweet sunshine and the smell of the summer earth. This is juxtaposed with the sense of the brevity of life, helping us to cherish it more fully, so that what we leave behind might help others to enjoy it as we did, as innocent children. Lyrics: The hand of my soul reaches back across the years to touch the light on that sunny day! To feel the wonder of a sudden low-flying blimp, and smell the earth under the summer grass! O how time has passed, and years; and as they pass, so do we. All boys and girls with bright dreams, with visions of beauty and changing the world – and are forgotten.We grow old, and our body withers, but our soul grows deep and silent; then only a shadow of what we were, wanted, willed.Help us, O God, to remember our dreams while we may, that what we leave when we go might give someone pause on their way, to feel the life in them as it was in us.And may they, too, feel the sunshine, smell the earth, and wonder. --William GortonWilliam is also the artist/performer.
