I have had the good fortune to be able to work with some talented musicians. In addition, I have explored the use of AI for creating songs. I view AI as a tool for songwriters, and not generally an end unto itself. It helps me get a sense of how the lyrics might sound with different melodies. While I have made more than 100 attempts at plugging my lyrics into various melody options, only one of these attempts resulted in a completed song that I really like. This is that song. Glad For The Day is a reflection on the day my son, Tyler, was born. His birth was a life-changing event and, even though it has been decades, I am still grateful for that day, and for all the days that have followed.
Blissful blue sky
Crisp morning air
Senses alive
Hope everywhere
Glad for the day
Glad for the day
Glad for the day we met
The look in your eyes
The touch of your skin
Safe in my arms
Let a new life begin
Glad for the day
Glad for the day
So glad for the day we met
It’s a day
A day
A day
It’s a day I will never
Not ever forget
You are music for the soul
Happiness for the heart
A light in the darkness
A brand new start
Glad for the day
Glad for the day
So glad for the day we met
It’s a day
A day
A day
It’s a day I will never
Not ever forget
