I'm more of a songwriter than a performer...it's the creative writing process I love. This is a collection of basement song demos I've assembled over the past few years. Most are pretty simple & straightforward, usually a couple of acoustic guitar tracks and vocal. I'll be adding songs as time allows. They tend to be family or nature-oriented, and focus on parenting, family life and related foibles. Hope you're into it. Also, I do commercial voice overs. If you're in need of a smooth baritone voice with distinctive tone and balance, I'd be yer guy. ;-) You can find me online at VoicesOnCall.com & Voice123.com. I'm also a freelance advertising/marketing copywriter, broadcast producer and strategist. Stop by my www.timperrycreative.com if you're so inclined! and Audio Production for Any Size Project

Lyrics
Father’s Wish Timothy A. Perry ©7/15/99 Verse1: You’ll always be within me, forever in my heart. I’m always here to run to if your world should fall apart. I’ll always walk beside you. You’ll never be alone. I’m always there to turn to if you need to travel home. I wish you all your dreams and hopes, a willingness to share. Take wisdom from the elderly, stay bold enough to care. Trust in those who love you, regardless of the toll. A father’s wish of happiness, for rare and precious souls. Chorus #1: May you know…that hate need never break you. May you grow…to the heights that love can take you. May every day float lightly on the wind. And celebrate your life and those within. Verse 2: Let trust be your companion, and guide your path to light. Let caring be your nature as it shows the way to right. For in my heart you flourish, three lives each in turn. I want so much to teach you all the things I failed to learn. Of hopes and dreams, of wants and needs, of promise yet unknown Of trust and love, of justice born and seeds as yet unsown. Wishes for the future, tools to reach your goals. A father’s wish of happiness, for rare and precious souls. Chorus #2: May you see…every person as your brother. May you be…the true love of another. With every minute, right another wrong. Listen to your heart and to its song. Chorus #1: May you know…that hate need never break you. May you grow…to the heights that love can take you. Trust in love regardless of the toll. A father’s wish of happiness, for rare and precious souls. This is your father’s wish of happiness, for rare and precious souls.
