I Go To Those Days
written and sung by Susan Abulhawa
( Dennis Parrish - guitar )

I go to those days, hold them close
it's where my heart loves me the most
where I can reach on any day
and almost touch five days in May

Where a march dream grows under me like grass
and this poetry shines from my heart like sun
April's rain
showers me
in love I thought
would always last

I go to those days, hold them close
it's where my heart loves me the most
where I can reach on any day
and almost touch five days in May

Neruda whispers now I can't tame the flame
I climb the darkness to stand on top of my name
nothing has
been the same
since that smile
curled from his eyes

I go to those days, hold them close
it's where my heart loves me the most
where I can reach on any day
and almost touch five days in May

repeat and fade

Susie has been taking guitar lessons from me since Novemeber 2007.  She is a gifted writer and after a few lessons,
I knew she would eventually become a song writer, I just didn't expect it this soon.  She wrote the lyrics to the song above
and had a melody in mind that I was able to help bring out of her.  She sang it beautifully.  I'm hoping this is the first of many more songs to come. - DCP
