My Wonderful Dream
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

I once had a dream,
A dream, you know,
Where we held each other close,
And never let one another go
I had a dream 
Where we’d be side by side
And maybe, by chance,
One day you’d be my bride.

Some dreams,
they just come and go,
big ones, small ones,
Even the ones we hold on to so
They grow old, they become trivial, 
but some can’t let go. 

From something mundane
To something glorious. 
That’s what those dreams are for,
That’s what those dreams are for,
The dreams we had when young
When were both reaching for the stars,
Those were wonderful dreams,
Those were wonderful dreams,

And then the day came,
When you let your dreams be mine,
And you stood and held my hand,
And you said I’ll never leave you behind.

And if there are dreams,
you can’t seem to impress,
I’ll take those dreams,
And I’ll give them my best. 

Dreams come and go 
But one dream was meant to be so,
You never left that dream behind,
You never let that dream to die,
When you promised to follow me to the earth and back,
You became my dream,
My only dream I’d never lack,

You are, you always will be, the embodiment of that dream,
You are my dream,
You’re the only dream I’ve ever had,
My dream. My dream
My wonderful dream. 
Dreams come and go 
But you’re that dream that was to be so,
My dream. My dream
My wonderful dream.  


So here’s to you my dream woman,
May I never find a dream without your dreams at my side,
My dream girl, my dream woman,
My dream. My dream
My wonderful dream. 
Dreams come and go 
But you’re that dream that was to be so,
My dream. My dream
My wonderful dream. 

I love you my dream woman,

May we keep dreaming for many more years to come.

My Wonderful Dream

Here We Are Once Again(Scraggly Voice Version)
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

Verse 1

Well…here we are once again,
Alone in this cafe,
The place we began as friends,
All on a sunny day. 
While everyone else sat outside,
Watching the world go by,
We sat and fell in love,
Thanks to the Lord on high. 

Chorus 
Here we are once again,
At the table where it all began,
Eating food and enjoying life,
And with you … my wife. 

Verse 2

Do you hear the birds outside
Chirping loudly above?
What was passed down from years ago
When we first confessed our love
Overheard when we were young,
And now repeated from the beaks of doves,
Can you hear them? It’s easy. 
They’re all singing our song. 

Chorus 
Here we are once again,
At the table where it all began,
Eating food and enjoying life,
And the desert … you … my wife. 

Verse 3

Oh…I can’t think of anywhere else,
I’d rather be,
Than with the memories of you and I here,
Having our first cup of tea. 
And to cherish this very moment,
With the woman I adore,
Nothing could make me any happier,
Or to want anything more.

Here We Are Once Again

You lift Me Up
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

Here I am sitting,
With the men of this town,
They want to know what’s so special,
That makes me want you around.
And I tell them once again,
What I’ve told them as my friends,
Many times as has arisen,
Of all the women I have known,
And I’ve known many as been told,
You’re the only one if they listen.

You lift me up when I am down
You lift me up to solid ground,
You lift me up to a proper place,
You lift me up when all else fails,
You lift me up when all is despair,
You lift me up to your strong embrace.

You lift me up when am not sound,
You lift me up when I’m the clown,
You lift me up to not lose face,
You lift me up when I don’t care,
You lift me up from my chair,
You lift me up to save me from disgrace.

You lift me up,
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
All day.
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
Is all I can say.

So when I sit at the gates,
Your love has turned away all hate,
And all I can hear is your praise,
And when it comes my turn to speak,
I stand and tell them what they seek,
You lift me up all day.
And when night falls,
You’re right there with me in the hall,
To cast away all of my pains.

You lift me up,
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
All day.
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
Is all I can say.

You lift me up when all is black,
You lift me up when I have lack,
You lift me up, don’t turn back…

You lift me up,
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
All day.
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
Is all I can say.

You Lift Me Up (All Day)

Take Me Back Tonight
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

Take me back 
To where it all began,
To that moment in time,
When we first became friends,
When our dreams were real,
And our fantasies, too
And you understood me,
When I said I love you.

Take me back tonight,
To where it all began,
Back to those moments,
We thought would never end.

Take me back,
As only you can do,
To that moment in time,
When I said I love you.
When our parents were alive,
And most of our friends, too.
When we would sneak away,
To make our love a new.

Let’s go back tonight,
To where it all began,
Back to those moments
We thought would never end.

Take Me Back Tonight

All Over the World
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

All over the world, 
All over the world, 
People crying,
People dying,
All over this world.

See the mother lying there,
See the crying baby by her side,
What the world fails to give,
The woman never receives,
Though they keep crying and dying,
No one sees.

All over this world,
All over the world,
People crying,
People dying,
All over the world.

All over the world,
All over the world,
People crying,
People dying,
All over the world.

All Over the World

I Have A Woman
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

I have a woman who believes in today,
As long as it is tomorrow 
I have a woman who believes in yesterday 
As long as it’s not the one that gave her sorrow.

Don’t cry, woman, don’t cry,
Leave your tears for another day,
And make your face pretty
And come and show me your smile. 

I have a woman who never had children
As hard as she tried. 
I have a woman who wanted to raise them,
But life just seemed to pass us by.

I have a woman who tries not to cry,
But her tears won’t stay away.

I Have A Woman

Written, Played and produced : Johnny Mc Farlane. 
The lyrics tell the story . 

The Children of the Night : 

White faces lined with Pain. 
Bloodshot eyes staring down the Lane 
Their ragged clothes are hanging lose 
They are almost dead from drug abuse 
They have had not food for many day 
They’ve been sniffing glue 
Living in a Haze
Life is a never ending Maze
For the Children of the Night 

Their Mother walks the city streets.
She makes her money beneath the sheets. 
Their Father draws the social by Day.
He beats his wife and steals her pay. 
She swears she will get the guts someday. 
To leave that Pig and to get away. 
But until she does she’ll have to stay 
With the children of the Night 

Day by day the pain grows Stronger 
The hurt inside becomes a hunger 
That eats her soul and kills her brain 
The more you fight , the worse the pain.
It’s a Cancer, it’s a people blight 
There is no hope in sight 
For the children of the night

The Children of the Night

Icefields ..... Soundtrack .... Expedition video in description ...

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
