Free Republic's own Singer/Songwriter ML/TOS's song "Tenerife" done to Magnum P.I.
The Fishermen are mending their nets
The tourists are soaking away their regrets
And barefoot children are out on the beach, having fun
The bell in the church tower rings
And somewhere nearby, a canary sings
The whitewashed houses gleam in the tropical sun In Tenerife
Tenerife, Tenerife
Our time together was far too brief
But exquisite beyond belief
I’ll never forget you, Tenerife.
The waiters speak with lilting voices
We look at our menus and make our choices
Far in the distance a Spanish Guitar softly plays
A fisherman looks in our direction
He’s not used to public displays of affection
And we just can’t help it if we keep attracting his gaze
In Tenerife
Tenerife, Tenerife
Our time together was far too brief
But exquisite beyond belief
I’ll never forget you, Tenerife.
In this oasis in the ocean
I can hardly contain my emotion
I reach across the table and touch your hand...
The fisherman goes back to his nets
The canary pauses...the lazy sun sets
And the last red ray of summer caresses the sand
In Tenerife
Tenerife, Tenerife
Our time together was far too brief
But exquisite beyond belief
I’ll never forget you, Tenerife.
I can’t for the life of me figure out what this post is about. What is ML/TOS’s?
Left the other site. She asks to be called ML/LTOS, and I respect her wishes.
Bump, well done!
Didn’t know how to ping her. But I see that you just put her name in the To: place. Thanks for the help. I really like her work.
Gorgeous!
And so nice to release it today, on Veterans Day, as Magnum PI was a very positive portrayal of Our Vietnam Vets.
I LOVE Hawaii, Love Magnum PI, Love Tom Sellick, Love Helicopters, and love YOU, Dear Mairdie!
((((HUGS)))
I am so very glad you like it. I suspected he might be a favorite of yours and that was the closest I could think to get to your image of Tenerife. Many, many hugs back.
nice composition gal :)
Why thank you, Dear Sis.
Even in my “non-religious” music I try to convey positive things like Romance, Beauty, Good memories, Nostalgia, etc.
We live in this world and try to be a “Light” as best we can! :-)
