Roy E. Disney, Lyricist
Following his passing, I’m learning new things about Roy E. Disney. For example, musician Alexander Rannie pointed out to me that Disney wrote lyrics for the song “Sometimes” in his sailing documentary Pacific High (1979). It was set to music by Robert F. Brunner and sung by Christalee McPherson. You can listen to the song here. These are Roy’s lyrics:
Sometimes, there’s a moment
Sometimes, you’ll never know
Sometimes, it just happens and flowsSometimes, there’s a moment
Fleeting – too soon gone
A moment overwhelms you like dawnOnce in a million times
Watching the thistles blow
You seek perfection there
Somehow the pieces fitYou’re just a thistle, too
Blown on a vagrant wind
But when it comes you’ll know
The moment’s there for youSometimes, there’s a moment
When it happens, you will know
Heaven in that moment
And heaven will touch youSo take it, just take it
Until it can touch you again
