The Peak (by Sophia and Todd Burge May 23 2017) I hope this day goes on forever Or at least this week crawls and crawls Oh… I hope this day goes on forever As I’d like to hang out with you all, that’s all But we’re older now and we know better There’s more out there, as we wait and see There’s another door that we must open But we may be a bit afraid to take a peek We’ll take a peek together We’ll take a peek together So, new beginnings always make me nervous But nothing really stays that new for long And the new becomes something I got used to Like new buildings, with new friends or a new song And together, we’ll sort this out Through sun and clouds, the good times and the bad If you stop and think a little or a lot Just know, one day, you’ll be back on top And see, we’ve climbed another peak So, let’s take that peak together We’ll take that peak together I know this day will stay with me forever ©2017 Bunj Jam BMI

A doughnut place. Enter one doughnut named… Evil Doughnut was known as evil But I doughnut know quite why f you could get to know him You’d surely find him to be A well rounded guy He had no need to eat a taco No taco had a need to eat he So they joined forces And as they shared their mutual stories of woe Became friends, best friends As, as it turned out, they both loved to dance So they ended up making up a dance They made up the next new dance craze! They thought it would became a craze that is, If they would dance it all night and day, like crazy. They’d danceThe Evil Doughnut Depressed Taco dance! That’s all they needed Just watch them smile Just try and eat now, while they move so quickly

Way too slow It’ll go Time time away from you Has been way too long Time time away from you Has been so so wrong We’ll begin when this ends Way too slow It’ll go It’ll go Let’s whistle I miss my friends and family And all my baseball buddies I know they’re out there Somewhere And do they miss me too? Sure they do We’ll being when this ends Way too slow It’ll go And we’ll go Dancing And we’ll go Riding bikes And we’ll go Swimming with our friends Taking hikes Flying like an eagle Back to Emerson We’ll begin when this ends We’ll begin when this ends It’ll end It’ll end Let’s whistle ©2020 Bunj Jam BMI

about

25% of the profits from this CD will forever be donated to The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network. www.foodallergy.org

An album of songs created by and performed by Todd Burge and his kids. The CD is for kids and Grownups! Join the Burge's with special guests Don Dixon, Tim O'Brien, Billy Matheny, Angela Perley, Kenny Malone and more as they sing fun songs about Grandparents, Bugs, Dogs and more! For children ages 1 to 119!

Many of these songs were written for my children, Will and Sophia. Some were inspired by them and one was even co-written by Will. Some are simply tunes that they enjoy listening to. Kansas City Star is a Roger Miller song I’ve loved since I was about five years old, so I felt it belonged here. My friend John Bolten and his wife Allison wrote a good one in “Lily and the Bee” and I felt it belonged here too. I hope you enjoy these and I dedicate this CD with love to my family, Lisa, Will and Sophia.
