That is actually the name of it.   I just put moments in the sun in the topic space. If you look at the song you will see the title is just one word.  I guess great minds think alike smile
Thanks for you comments and support

I think this song will mean different things to different people.

A couple of days ago my daughter sent me a picture of her husband  - hugging his mom on her bed. She is under hospice care.    It was one of the most moving pictures I have ever seen.  At first I had no response because I was overwhelmed with emotion-   I had no words.

Today I wrote this.
I suppose  some could  interpret it as a husband wife, boyfriend/ girlfriend song, but I wanted you to know where I was coming from and my perspective.
I hope you like it and I hope all of you live every day to the fullest and cherish all of the special moments you have. I played it with a capo on 3, but you can play it however best fits your style.

Jim

nice sounds on your band's performances.  Like the special effects on the screen.
Is that a telecaster you are playing ? It looks and sounds fantastic.

keep 'em coming man, fun to watch and makes me envious at the same time. smile

Thanks for sharing

Amy and Phill both recorded this for me.  I already had made a video with Phill's cover which was awesome.

Amy's is just heart warming.... and I was feeling a little sad this morning as my daughter's mother in law is very ill and in the hospital and probably soon heading for hospice.
As I listened to Amy sing it again this morning I decided to put her version to video as well.

Give it a listen -  I think she did it beautifully.

Thanks Amy smile

I like Outlaw Country    and Classic Vinyl on Sirius radio

What's really great is their hosts and interviews explaining songs and giving history associated with them.. The Steve Earle show on Sunday mornings is captivating !!

My favorite song generally depends on the mood I'm in and what I'm drinking smile

I wrote this song - I tried to put my self in place of my son in law (Air Force Pilot - Captain)who has just deployed for the 2nd time to God knows where, I think it's Afghanistan this time !
Today is the first Wedding Anniversary of him and my daughter. So I picked up my Les Paul and gave it a try.
I know I can't sing very well and my guitar playing needs loads of improvement, but this means a lot to me and maybe some others out there can appreciate how hard it is to leave loved ones behind. These are the lyrics and chords - if anyone that can really play and sing wants to cover it - I'd love to hear your version.
Hope you like it !

[Em]As the sun rises on a
[B7]nother day , there's a
[Am] million reasons for
[C] me to stay
[G]Distanced by chance, but
[D] not by my heart
To[Am]gether forever, we'll
[C] never, ever be
[G] apart

Chorus
[G] Ain't it funny how [D]life works out, when
[C] best laid plans never [ G ] come about
[G ] all those dreams, that [D] never came true
[Am] never mattered , as [C]long as I had [G] you

[G] [D][Am][C] [Em]

now [Em] the moon is full in the
[B7] clear night sky, and
The [Am] time has come to
[C]Say goodbye
[G]Hold back those tears cuz
[D]I need you to smile, and
[Am] hold me love , even
[C] for just a little
[G]while

[G] Ain't it funny how [D]life works out , it
[C] takes, it gives, and [G]spins you about
[G ] all those dreams, that [D] never come true
[Am] never matter , as [C]long as I'm with [G] you

[G ] all those dreams, that [D] never come true
[Am] never mattered , [C] long as I'm with [G]you
[D] it never mattered cuz, [C] baby, I'be got
[G] you
[D] it never mattered cuz, [C] baby, I'be got
[G] you

That was fantastic.  I am a huge country fan and that made my early morning great!!

After watching that several times I think I watched 10 more videoes of June Carter in her youth.  OMG - the innocence , beauty, talent just jumps out at you.  So much different than the trash and vulgarity that we see so much of today.  Thanks for reminding me of a better world!!

easybeat-- very unique 

love the diversity we get on Chordie!!

[Em]another ugly slice of [B7]American [Em]Pie




[Em] [Am][Em][B7]




[Em] [B7] [Em]


[Em]We got vets coming home to sad neglect,


while the national anthem gets disrespect


[Am] too many people just standing by


while [Em] drugs are taking our children's lives


[B7]fix it today or kiss our assesgoodbye
