SIDE B

01: Mr. Gaye

I'm in a dream
When I suddenly hear a gorgeous heartfelt melody
Swirling around in my head
As I lay in darkness at 6 am
I hear the congas taping out a groove
To a soft velvet like voice
And Mr. Gaye introduces himself

This beautiful graceful man is singing for me
Mercy mercy me
I float to the rhythm in a soft cushion of strings

How can I thank him
Even if he was here
He wouldn't know about the spontaneous treasure
He's gifted me

The gift some try to put in a glass case in a museum forever
But this is for me and you

And now he talks of saving the world that is destined to die
And how could he know that his words
Would echo more than ever in our times

All I know is that his words and songs will never die

Your gift I received
It serenades my understanding
Your gift passes on
From me to your imagination
