Jane Godfrey, a singer-songwriter out of St. Louis, wrote a song titled "Donuts and Daydreams", inspired by a woman who inherited a donut shop following her parents' deaths in a hit-and-run crash. To me it is one of the most dramatic songs I have ever heard. I went to see her perform upon a visit to Chicago this past summer. She had mentioned that an article about this woman's life had been published in the newspaper and that her life was really not at all like it was in the song. This gave me an idea for a potential sequel, and here is the lyric I wrote. I send a copy of it to Jane via her Facebook page but so far don't know how she liked it. Lyric is below, and following that will be the link to the original song. I WAS THE DONUT LADY c2017 Brian Beecher Once I was the donut lady Started at age twenty-one Once I was the donut lady With no time for having much fun It didn’t seem like time was on my side But with the rest of the world I would walk with pride Cause once I was the donut lady With nothing much to hide Once I was the donut lady Cannot deny it was hard When I was the donut lady Had a longing to make a new start But folks would come to the shop Who would make my heart sing Therefore I’d feel the joys That each of them would bring And while I was the donut lady Made to focus on just one thing While the universe was telling me To do cartwheels Deep inside I had a longing To kick up my heels So one day I took leave Just to see how it feels Because when I was the donut lady My accomplishment mixed with the tears But I would overcome my fears https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfsQEgyDavo
