Album Notes

Bill Cooper, Tx, wanted to write a song to inspire his Grandchildren to Read......and when the original lyrics to "Imagination" were posted on the JPF Lyrics Forum...I heard a melody as I read along.

I'm very thankful to God for this continued blessing of writing!....A thank you to Bobbie Gallup, Director of Development, Film Nashville, for liking "Imagination" from the get-go and sharing it with organizations that encourage children to read!... Jim and Georgeann Coffey, Blue Vision, for all your talent and for the great job done in recording, performing, and producing my/our children's songs, Amy Lee Moser for once again lending your lovely voice to "Imagination"...and Joice Marie, Songwriter and Artist, for painting and designing such a wonderful cover and for doing all the graphic design/text work...(and for your encouragement and help)!

A thank you to Benchmark Multimedia, ME, for a great (start to finish) with the CD replication and printing!...and TN Governor Phil Bredesen's Books From Birth Foundation for publishing an article in "Signpost" about "Imagination".


Imagination
Lyrics by W. L. Cooper
Music by Kaley Willow

I've climbed up on the mountain
With a little train that could
Danced with Cinderella
Camped out with Robin Hood

I've sailed uncharted oceans
And swam the blue lagoon
Chased Alice through the looking glass
Left footprints on the moon

It taks imagination
And knowing how to read
A book or two to travel through
Is all you really need
The door to wonderland
Is magical Indeed
Just takes imagination
And knowing how to read

You can raft the Mississippi
With Huckleberry Finn
Pow Wow with Pocahontas
Or wrestle Gentle Ben

You can take a trip to Saturn
Or solve a mystery
Explore the distant future
Or study history

It takes Imagination
And knowing how to read
A book or two to travel through
Is all you really need
The door to wonderland
Is magical indeed
Just takes Imagination
And knowing how to read

There are
Books for boys...books for girls
Moms and Daddies too
When you sit down with a book
The world belongs to you

It takes Imagination
And knowing how to read
A book or two to travel through
Is all you really need
The door to wonderland
Is magical indeed
Just takes Imagination
And knowing how to read
