PARALLEL REFLECTIONS/NEFERTITI

Lyrics by Smith Dobson

Music by Wayne Shorter

Timeless is the love we share, my dear.

I feel we must be dreaming,

Other lives we shared.

You were always meant to be here by my side.

From a distant place are we, my dear.

A place time has forgotten.

May you always stay,

In your special way,

So near,

So dear,

 So near,

So dear

A masterpiece of mood, poetry and song, Gail’s album is dedicated to her late husband, Smith Dobson.
