Gus Johnson
For Linda
[Joe Dumas]
A steady hand
Floats above a music stand
A hundred eyes are shining bright a hundred lips let song take flight
She’s in command

A gentle grace
Flows from her in every space
With every flutter of her wrist a hundred ears are softly kissed
She beats the band

[Joe and Gus]
She’ll steal the show
She’ll help you grow
She’ll always grow

[Joe Dumas]
With every song she sings or note she brings
Most everything
Just comes alive

[Gus Johnson]
She unites a town
Three kids could hardly slow her down
With every show she draws a crowd and each performance cheering loud
Where joy is found
Most everyday
She’s doing more than people say
With every heart she renders full she is a true professional
In every way

[Joe and Gus]
She’ll steal the show
She’ll help you grow
She’ll always grow

[Gus Johnson]
With every song she sings or note she brings
Most everything
Just comes alive

A loving caring mother
And a teacher like no other
Every sister and the brother wants to be

In her plays or in her choir
For it’s her that they’re aspiring to be

[Joe and Gus]
Same goes for me

She’ll make you proud
By singing loud
For every crowd
I love the chance
To sing her songs and do her dance
With every day that falls away I know what I would want to say
I’m glad I got the chance to sing along with you and everything
I’ve ever loved in music came from you
