I'm the piano player down at Eddie's bar, and Rachel she's the waitress who wants to be a star. She swears she's gonna make it, make it big someday, and she'll send me picture postcards from L.A.

When it's time for closing, I play while Rachel cleans. She listens to my music, I listen to her dreams. She swears she's gonna make it, she's going all the way and I say, "Send me picture postcards from L.A.

"Send me postcards from L.A. signed with love forevermore. Picture postcards from L.A. to hang on my refrigerator door. Rachel, if you find me one, I'd love a picture of the California sun"

When Rachel shares my pillow she always asks me things like do I really think she's pretty, do I like the way she sings? I don't know how to answer, so I always smile and say, I say, "Send me picture postcards from L.A.

"Send me postcards from L.A. signed with love forevermore. Picture postcards from L.A. to hang on my refrigerator door. Rachel, if you find me one, I'd love a picture of the California sun"

Sometimes Rachel stands up in the middle of the bar and does a scene from the late show. We all clap our hands as she puts her apron on and says, "Next week, I'm gonna go."

She'll even buy a ticket and pack her things to leave. Though we all know the story we pretend that we believe. But something always comes up, something always makes her stay. And still no picture postcards from L.A.

The world meets nobody halfway. When you want something, you gotta take it.

It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re 17 and planning for someday. And then quietly and without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life. We spend so much time wanting, pursuing, wishing. But ambition is good. Chasing things with integrity is good. Dreaming… If you had a friend you knew you’d never see again, what would you say? If you could do one last thing for someone you love, what would it be? Say it, do it, don’t wait. Nothing lasts forever. Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want. Everything you want. Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle’s gonna come from. The next memory. The next smile. The next wish come true. But if you believe that it’s right around the corner. And you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it. To the certainty of it. You might just get the thing you’re wishing for. The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. So make your wish ... Do you have it? Good. Now believe in it. With all your heart.

Doing nothing

If you want to. I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me.
