about

I remember riding on my older brothers' shoulders as a kid (at least I think I remember). It's both exhilarating and scary, and an experience I have shared with my son and my grandchildren. It's a wonderful feeling to be the mount, providing such a vivid experience for the young rider.
Hope you enjoy this ride.

lyrics

Put Me On Your Shoulders

I'm so small but you are oh so tall (you are so small)
Let me hold your fingers so I won't fall (so you won't fall)
If you put me down I'll fret and cry (don't fret and cry)
And you'll wipe the tears out of my eyes

Chorus

Pick me up
And put me on your shoulders
Carry me
All the way home
(repeat)

Bounce me up and down, I'll hold on tight (I'll hold you tight)
Run around the yard pretending flight (pretending flight)
If I bump my chin you'll comfort me (I'll comfort you)
Tickle me and make me laugh with glee

Chorus

When I'm on your shoulders I feel bold (you are so bold)
But the air up here is kind of cold (it's not so cold)
Take me in the house, watch for my head (I'll watch your head)
I'll be tired but not ready for bed

Chorus

William Morris (aka Lanny) Lambdin Amherst, Virginia

I grew up in a house that was always filled with music, from opera and hymns to musicals and the symphonies of the classical composers. As a consequence, my head has always been full of tunes and my song-writing has flowed from that wealth of music as well as the rock and blues I have gravitated to as an adult. My inner child stays close by, so my creations are mostly for kids - of all ages. ... more
