Story Behind The Song
Madison street musician Art Paul Schlosser and singer/songwriter Cactus Joe collaborated on this quirky funny song. Art Paul wrote the lyrics and Cactus Joe composed the music to complement them. We think it will be a good submission for MOST UNUSUAL SONG at the 2010 MAMA Awards.

Lyrics
Sara
by Cactus Joe and Art Paul Schlosser
COPYRIGHT 2009 Cactus Joe Productions LLC
He finds it hard to remember names, so if your name is Sara...
Well maybe then he might date you cuz his last girlfriend was Sara...
And he likes music by all sorts of women, and his mother's name was Glen...
But all of his girlfriends they were always the name of Sara...
PRE CH
So late at night when he calls Sara, she thinks he's really calling her.
But he's calling the Sara before the 5 other Saras.
Maybe that is why... he only dates women with the name of Sara
His first Sara died and he misses her.
CH
He cries Sara come kiss me dear
Come hold me close
And tender dear
She comes and holds him near and he says, You have lovely perfume dear.
And he softly touches her.
Many years later in the nursing home when he has succumbed to Alzheimers...
He cries out to someone hoping it is his Sara...
He doesn't remember that he doesn't live with her...
The nurse though she's not her tries to act like her.
She realizes with his memory loss he can only remember Sara.
PRE CH
So late at night when he calls Sara, she thinks he's really calling her.
But he's calling the Sara before the 5 other Saras.
Maybe that is why... he only dates women with the name of Sara
His first Sara died and he misses her.
CH
He cries out,
Sara come kiss me dear. COme hold me close and tender dear.
She comes and holds him near and he says, You have lovely perfume dear.
Come and kiss me dear, come hold me close and tender dear.
She comes and holds him close, he feels safe when she is near.
And he softly touches her.
