If I Was God, prelude for guitar by John Sid.  My friend Sean, an English teacher, pointed out the grammar error in the title, saying that it should be "If I Were God."  I think that it's a good error.  It expresses the hubris and conceit of humanity, so often mistaken, so often playing god.  However, the idea behind the title is one person's wish for a better life for all.

Minuet in D for piano by John Sid could also be considered a waltz as the time signature is 3/4 and the tempo is moderato.  However, the middle section is in 4/4 and might confuse the dancers.  Haydn liked to play jokes like that.

Minuet in D for piano by John Sid.

The summer's gone.  The fall is here.
The leaves are brown and winter's near.

My soul cries out for something more,
The love I had just once before.

But there's hope in my heart,
For you and I were never meant to part.
And I'll hold on 'til you return,
For my heart burns
With love that never dies.

And now I wait for snow to fall,
For now I have no one at all.

But there's hope in my heart,
For you and I were never meant to part.
And I'll hold on 'til you return,
For my heart burns
With love that never dies.
