Happy New Year to all!

I just wanted to share this song that started as an experiment in trying to write a song using only 2 chords.

(The 2 main chords are AbMaj7/Eb and EbMaj7, and the ending chord is AbMaj11).

I Can Dream 12-4-2021

the air is magical tonight
stars shine like their dancing in your eyes
golden moonbeams smile on us

i wake up from my sleep
oh no, I must be dreaming
'cause it's too good , too good., too good to be true
(too good to be true)

but i can dream
dream about you
i only wish i could really be living this dream

enchanted garden paradise
you softly touch me and whisper you love me
fragrant wildflowers and morning dew ooh

your body glows like the sunrise
yellow roses and rainbows surround you
you’re too, too, too good to be true

but i can dream
dream about you
i only wish i could really be living this dream


peace,
-rob
