Background About the Song

Although this song was orginally written as a piano track for a scene in the Ragtop Production documentary Swans On the Avon, I decided to include it on my CD. When my mother hurt her back, I went to stay with her to help out. After setting up a keyboard in the spare bedroom, I added lyrics and a piano intro', but basically kept it as a simple, little song.
