A longing Tribute to Fuziah Ahmad...you left us too soon!
Stan loves music, is published (EMI/Capitol), and has experience performing on radio and TV when it was live in the good old days. These days he's just writing
Songwriter of pop, country, inspirational songs. I like to write. I travel a lot to Asia...so my music may have an Asian influence.
Story behind the song
Thinking ahead of our Victoria Institution School Reunion in Vancouver in August 2013, I became sentimental, and penned this song.
Fuz, was adored by us VI boys in the late 50s and early 60s. I was one of the lucky ones, because of my music, to be close to her! And many happy (now nostalgic moments) were shared!
You left us too soon Fuz! Would've loved to have your company at the VIVA 2013 event! Sigh!!!!

Beautiful Eyes

Verse 1
E
Found a photograph,
A
A portrait of you,
E B7
I picked it up and stared for an hour or two,
E A
Those beautiful eyes, those beautiful eyes,
E
Wouldn’t it be nice,
E B7
If heaven would open its doors for just a moment,
E
And you came through,
A
Right in my arms,
E B7 E A E
Then I’ll come to heaven…to heaven with you.
Verse 2
E
Oh I stumbled on,
A
And tears over-ruled,
E B7
Through winters and summers but nothing has cooled,
E A
Those beautiful eyes, those beautiful eyes,
E
Like paradise,
E B7
With mountains of highs drifting over,
E
The hills of love,
A
The hills of love,
E B7 E
I’ve lived in heaven…in heaven once before.

Part of me wanna let go …

But part of me insists on no …

Left the rat race,

Moved to forget … moved to forget … just to forget…
Instrument break C F C F C G A
Verse 3
A
You were gone too soon,
D
I cried to the moon,
A E
I mourned and yearned but still my heart was in two,
A D
Those beautiful eyes, those beautiful eyes,
A
Can’t shake the blues,
E
From morning till night all I want is you,
A
Your beautiful eyes,
D
I memorized,
A E A
And oh tonight I’m in heaven…heaven with you.
