#collaboration #one-take I really liked Cindy's lyrics for this one and couldn't resist having a go. @cindy, hope you don't mind. I just couldn't help myself.
Lyrics
Lyrics by Cindy Price, Music and singing by Gordon
Little girl dreamed at night Of a tiny unicorn She always tried to help it Because it had a broken horn
Little girl would wake up Wishing her dream was true So she asked of her parents What was something she could do?
Chorus Her Birthday was coming soon So her parents bought a gift A pretty stuffed unicorn That was a bit of a misfit It's horn was bent and broken So she loved it even more They showed her how to fix it Or leave it as it was before
Bridge She chose to leave it as it came She'd always love it just the same
Little girl still dreams each night Of a misfit unicorn That's with her both day and night With a misshapen broken horn
Repeat chorus

It’s nice when your dreams are about something you already have. Lovely musical treatment for this lyric — sweet collab
To think the nonsense I came up with while fiddling about with records and free associating random words would end up with something this lovely is mad, really sweet song.
Awww! This is adorable, love the softness you've brought to the lyrics, and that sweet lyrical flourish at the end.
This, in one take!? I love it! Very sweet, like I imagined it. Thank you!
Well, that's a relief. Such nice lyrics and much needed in these times!
Cindy has mastered so many lyrical styles and genres and this endearing short story has been turned into a lovely, gentle lullaby by Gordon...
