Lyrics:

Lockers slam, final bell rings clear,
Perfume and sweat, emotions sincere
Tim's goofy grin, Jack's quiet nod,
Friends since childhood, now paths odd
If only I knew, this moment I'd chase

Time slips away, like sand through our hands
The future unknown, as we make our plans

These are the lasts we don't recognize
Fleeting moments before our goodbyes
If I'd known then what I know now
I'd hold on tighter, somehow
To these precious lasts

Grandpa's den, pipe smoke curls,
Cards snap, his laughter unfurls,
Weathered hands, stories untold,
Moments more precious than gold
If only I'd known, I'd change that night

Time slips away, like sand through our hands
The future unknown, as we make our plans

These are the lasts we don't recognize
Fleeting moments before our goodbyes
If we'd treasured then what we've lost now
I'd hold on tighter, somehow
To these precious lasts

Grandpa's den, pipe smoke curls,
Cards snap, his laughter unfurls,
Weathered hands, stories untold,
Moments more precious than gold
(Moments more precious than gold)
If only I'd known, I'd change that night

Time slips away, like sand through our hands
The future unknown, as we make our plans

These are the lasts we don't recognize
Fleeting moments before our goodbyes
If we'd treasured then what we've lost now
I'd hold on tighter, somehow
To these precious lasts
(These precious lasts)

Shadows lengthen, day fades to night
Memories flicker like candlelight
Each passing second, a gift in disguise
Open your heart, open your eyes

City lights flicker, radio hums our song
One last hug, 'See you soon,' feels so wrong
'We have all the time,' he said with a smile
If only we knew, we'd talk for a while
In photographs and fading scents
The love in each moment we spent

These are the lasts we don't recognize
Fleeting moments before our goodbyes
Now I know what I wish I'd known then
I'll hold on tighter, again and again
To these precious lasts
(These precious lasts)

Life's rich tapestry, woven with care,
Threads of lasts, love everywhere,
These precious lasts
We'll always have
These precious lasts
In every goodbye, a hello waits there

These are the lasts we don't recognize
Fleeting moments before our goodbyes
Now I know what I wish I'd known then
I'll hold on tighter, again and again
To these precious lasts

Precious lasts

Unrecognized Goodbyes

Above The Clouds - Stephan Lipinski / Jamie Rhind

I've had the plan to write a lullaby for many years. After missing the timing for my own kids the idea has been a "that would be nice to do" thought ...until recently when our backyard deck came into the story.

For those that don't know, our deck overlooks our community and has just enough elevation so that we see over many of the rooftops and trees and the surrounding hills make a wonderful evening setting. There have been many evenings watching the sunset with Dee and the family. 

Not only do we have an amazing view, we also have one of the most incredible auditory experiences as well. From where we are at we can hear much of the neighborhood sounds, and more often than not, the sounds of the Norman Creek kids playing.  The sounds of kids playing together outside is something that was so foreign after so many years in California, it's been wonderful to experience it from the deck.

So what does all this have to do with a lullaby? 

For years I've known that the lullaby would be based upon the love, joy, and safety that Dee showed our kids while growing up. I think those things are the cornerstones for kids growing up strong and confident. The sounds of the Norman Creek kids, and the sheer joy of sitting and watching amazing sunsets with Dee, reignited the thoughts of kids being put to bed by their mothers. With the memories of Dee with our kids, and the thoughts of the Norman Creek moms with their kids in my head, the words and music of "As You Sleep" flowed out a few weekends ago. 

Although my writing partner Chris Meola and I are not quite done with the final instrument arrangements, I wanted to share what we have with you as we work to dot the I's and cross the T's. 

As always, many thanks to Dee for being the inspiration and indulging my creative whims and I'd also like to dedicate this one to the Kids and Moms of Norman Creek. Thanks for sharing your joy with the neighborhood!

Times they are a changing.

An idea is a complete thing. If you stay true to it, it tells you everything from beginning to end.
