Testi musica canzoni

'Shannon" by Henry Gross. From the LP 'Release' (Lifesong PZ34995, 1976)


Another day is at end
Mama says she's tired again
No one can even begin to tell her
I hardly know what to say
But maybe it's better than way
Is papa were here
I'm sure he'd tell he

Shannon is gone
I hope she's drifting out to sea
She always ;pved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shady tree
Just like the one in our backyard

Mama tried hard to pretend
Tings will get better again
Somehow she's keeping
It all inside her
But finally the tears fill our eyes
And I know that somewhere tonight
She knows how much we really miss her

[repeat chorus]

>I seem to remember thinking that the song was somehow about a dog
>named shannon. I do remember that this song seemed to make me want to
>burst out crying each time I heard parts of it. Any help or lyrics
>would be very much appreciated.

Shannon is Henry's dog. The credits say "Special thanks to Ronnie DeMarino,
Sue and Ralph Mastruzzo for loving Shannon while we were gone".
