Product Description
"Brimfull" (spelling intentional) is the title song for William P.
Gorton's album of art songs, available at gortonmuse.com. This vivacious
celebration of the joy of life and learning is inspiring to all who
love life and art! Expansive and ecstatic, it truly embodies joie de
vivre! The statement of hope and faith in the B section turns the
imagination to the dream of singing in yet other worlds, because there
is so much good in this one to be enjoyed.
Lyrics:
If I open my heart I remember all the beauty I have seen,
And it swells in me to a great desire, and brims over through my eyes.
I see the magic of living, I feel the wonder of learning,
And I cannot hold it all it is too much.
O how can we hope to taste more than a drop of Gods nectar in one lifetime?
It cannot be done; it is a mystery.
And so, dear one, when all is dark around you, remember:
As sure as the sunlight through the leaves,
As sure as the scent of blossoms filling your soul,
As sure as that kindness you needed so much,
So there will be other worlds to sing in.
--William Gorton
