Decided to take a break from other projects, and do what I love best. Clair de Lune is one of my favorite classical pieces. Taking total advantage of its public domain status, I added a lyric, and recorded in a Bossa Nova tempo (SLOBOSA with Pno and Bass), finishing it off with nylon guitar and strings. My apologies to the purist, and Mr. Debussy. Just something different. Don't throw eggs now.
Perhaps I shouldn't post on April Fool's Day!

Sweet Moonlight (CLAIR de LUNE)

Verse
Sweet Moonlight, high above
Please shine down brightly to find my love
And bring him warmth through the night
Embraced by soft moonlight
Can faded dreams of long ago
Be found in moon glow

Chorus
Sweet Moonlight, high above
Shine down brightly on my love
Now a memory dulled by time gone by
The stars reflect tired and sleepless eyes
Illuminating the darkness of moonlit skies
I still remember, a touch so divine
A touch that said I was his, and he was mine
Could we relive the best of another place and time, tonight in moonlight?

Sweet Moonlight, it’s time to part
One last wink for a sleepless heart
As the Sun begins its rise
Your face now fades from lonely eyes
And love no longer burns brightly in moonlit skies
I’ll still remember a touch so sublime
When I was his, and he was my mine
When we two were the best of another place and time, tonight, in Moonlight.
Just sweet remembrances of moonlight
