"Poems are written to be read and lyrics are written to be sung. I am a lyricist and the lyrics on this page were written to be sung" - Hal David (1921 - 2012)

For putting emotions into songs and colour into lives, and for using words to demonstrate that the beautiful things in life are really so simple, thank you. I didn't know you, but your work touched my life in the same way it touched countless others, accompanying me in quiet sidewalks, on rainy days, infusing my childhood memories like a gentle breeze on a warm summer day.

In fact, your work touched the lives of a another yellow-skinned family as well.
