This piece was written to relay the message that life is short and you better get while you can!

You can roll the dice, you can play the game!

When the past seems like a merry go-round. "It Calls Your Name"

There is a "Spot of Blue" in Texas

Here's one for ya! This song was one of my first works. I was inspired while running an errand for my father and ran into an unexpected encounter with an unexpected result. I rushed home and wrote this in just a few minutes. Sometimes they just come to you like that. I wish they all did! ;-)

It is and always will be.

Through Your Eyes Lyrics by Gary Hankins 2004 I've been looking At my life these days When loneliness Stops by I think of all The things you've said That makes me Want to cry You'll never know The love I feel When I see it Through your eyes When I See it Through your eyes When I See it Through your eyes I’ve come To realize How to See it Through your eyes You make me strong In a world Gone wrong You lift my soul To sing Here in this world Are better things When I See it Through your eyes When I See it Through your eyes When I See it Through your eyes I’ve come To realize How to See it Through your eyes My life’s complete No wants No needs My purpose Now is clear Now I see This World In a different way When I feel Your hand Is near When I See it Through your eyes When I See it Through your eyes I finally realized Once I saw it Through your eyes

Written as a tribute to my daughter whose views have changed my life immeasurably. I know any listener that has anyone in their lives that has been influenced by an others perspective will relate to this piece.

Spot of Blue ©2004 Music and Lyrics by Gary Hankins Pop/contemporary/ Easy Listening Black and white, Yellow, brown And you This world Is getting smaller Now it’s true Why can’t we all Live together Take this world And make it better On this little Spot of blue On this little Spot of blue From a distance So small And fragile Look closer It seems to Unravel People dream Their whole Lives through Wishing troubles were Far and few On this little Spot of blue On this little Spot of blue Black and white, Yellow, brown And you We’re put here on This little Spot of blue If the colors all Flowed together Would make this world So much better On this little Spot of blue On this little Spot of blue Together on This little Spot of Blue
