A Place For Us

NOTES:

Here’s something quite a bit different. Musical Theater…

I had an idea before FAWM for a musical… it’s about a guy from the 23rd century who travels back to the 13th century and falls in love. There’s lots of other stuff, but that’s enough to get you to this song…

I worked through this with the help of my wife Jen, who is the expert on musical theater. (=

This is just the basic sketch and will be expanded upon and added to if we actually finish the whole musical.

This is also an object lesson about writing a song before you sing it… and finding out you don’t quite have the vocal range for it. (Oh well, If it ever comes to the stage, for sure I won’t be the one singing it! )

LYRICS:

I’ve traveled to the stars
And through the ages past
And I’ve been
Searching for my soul
I found you at last
And I know…

Somewhere there’s a place for us
A little point in space for us
Somewhere in the depths of time
Where I’ll hold your hand in mine

My heart has been set free
I know that this is meant to be
All of time and space for us
I know there’s a place for us

The fire in your eyes
The timbre of your voice
Now I see
My heart has found its home
Now I must make my choice
And I know…
