By popular demand, here are the lyrics I was commissioned to write for Pacific Mambo Orchestra’s Bolero Cocomo, a composition and arrangement by Aaron Lington.

To dream of a melody sweet and new
To know that when night died down I’d call you
And we’d repaint the dawn

To dance until I forget you’ve gone
Drawn to the petals of another rose
This was not the ending I chose

Won’t you come away to a mysterious land
Picture us glorious on the silver screen
We were meant to be grand

To dream imperfectly, it’s not too late
With falling stars we’ll score a symphony
Our hymn to fate

To be like two sailors on an open sea…

[Solo]

Love… love… love is just a metaphor, life is art!
What we have is better for my heart

[Bridge]

Won’t you come away to a mysterious land
Picture us glorious on the silver screen
We were meant to be grand

To dream imperfectly, it’s not too late
With falling stars we’ll score a symphony
Our hymn to fate

To dare create
To write like nothing’s ever wrong
It’s time to sleep

Dream, dream, dream, dream…
Dream…
