about

This song is very near and dear to me as I wrote it the day my Father passed away. I had started it and then went to visit him in the hospital where I was with him as he left us. I finished it that night and recorded it the next day.

My Dad was a musician who played piano, sax, trumpet, trombone and clarinet. He was also a music teacher so I called one of his former students and invited him to play the trombone solo on the outro.

lyrics

Hymn Lyrics:

Moments spoken like trumpets blowing
King for a day
No more leaving an end to grieving
Treasure is safe

Flowers pressed between the page
Freckles on her face in the sun
Mother and moonlight

Moments spoken like trumpets blowing
King for a day
No more leaving an end to grieving
Treasure is safe
