Phoebe Snow, The Passing Of A Legend

Yesterday I heard news that shattered my heart...Phoebe Snow passed away due to complications from a brain hemorrhage that she had suffered early in 2010...This woman's music changed my life forever, for the better.

There have been very few musical artists that I could say to you have been there for me through the good and the bad times in my life, Phoebe is one of those few.

The funny thing about Phoebe is that if you ask people, "Who is Phoebe Snow?" most of them will tell you that they've never heard of her....but the ones that have....love her.

Phoebe was a musical artist, but she was a dedicated, loving mother first and foremost. At the peak of her career, she dropped out of site to take care of her daughter, Valerie Rose, who was born severely brain damaged. Some reports will say that this was a poor decision, they have said that during this time she made some poor business choices "to say solvent". What I say was that she was a mother, the way God intended mothers to be. Fearless guardians and protectors of the ones that we love, knowing that there is nothing more important, no great task that we have been called to, than the calling to care for those that we love.

Phoebe's physical body may be gone, but her indomitable, creative, loving , beautiful spirit remains forever in her music, her testament of love that she left behind.

Poetry Man

Ooooo, ya, ya, ya, ya
Ooooo, ya

You make me laugh

'Cause your eyes they light the night
They look right through me, la, la, la
 

You bashful boy
You're hiding something sweet
Please give it to me, yeah, to me, ya
To me
 

Ooh, oh, talk to me some more
You don't have to go
You're the Poetry Man
You make things all right, ya, ya

Ooooo, ya, ya, ya, ya
Ooooo, ya
 

You are a genie
 

And all I ask for is your smile
Each time I rub the lamp, la, la, la
 

When I am with you
I have a giggling teen-age crush
Then I'm a sultry vamp, ya, ya
 

Talk to me some more
You don't have to go
You're the Poetry Man
You make things all right, ya, ya

Oooooh, ya, ya, ya
Oooooh, ya

[Musical Interlude]

Talk to me some more
You don't have to go
You're the Poetry Man
You make things all right
 

Ooooo, ya, ya, ya, ya
Ooooo, ya

So once again
It's time to say so long
And so recall the call of life, la, la, la
 

You're going home now
Home's that place somewhere you go each day
To see your wife, ya, ya, ya
To see your wife
Wooo, oooh

Talk to me some more
You don't have to go
You're the Poetry Man
You make things all right, ya
 

Wooo, oooh

Talk to me some more
You don't have to go
You're the Poetry Man
You make things all right
