Artist picture
mikelewismusic consists of Mike Lewis, a singer-songwriter from San Diego, California, USA. Mike plays all original material on his Gibson Hummingbird.
Mike Lewis is a songwriter hailing from San Diego, CA. Mike is a veteran of the San Diego music scene and has embarked on a solo acoustic endeavor called mikelewismusic. Mike eschews production values. Mike eschews commercialism in music. Mike believes that music should be shared at the grass-roots level, which is why he likes the internet - the opportunities for the independent artist has never been better. Mike believes the heart of his music lies in the song itself. Mike's strong-suit is in the songs that he writes, and mikelewismusic's charter is to showcase Mike's songs. Armed with his trusty Gibson Hummingbird, Mike writes and plays all original material. Mike provides a slice of the human experience from his own viewpoint. Joy, exuberance, love, loss, sadness, and humor are all examined from a unique, heartfelt point of view as only Mike can deliver. A limited viewpoint? Perhaps. But maybe, just maybe, you might be able to see a little bit of yourself through the fuzzy lenses that clouds Mike's observations.

Story behind the song
Adam is my son. I wrote this song while practicing in Adam's room. He was playing with his toys at my feet. It suddenly hit me, what a perfect moment this was: me practicing my music while my son happily played at my feet, oblivious to all save for his toys and his imagination. I wrote the first cut of this song in about 10 minutes as he played at my feet.
Lyrics
Adam (Beautiful Boy) Michael D. Lewis I want to take you by the hand Lead you through the golden land Be there when you make a stand Watch you grow into a man I just want to walk right by your side I know someday you will walk alone Today I think I'll enjoy the ride Pick you up and carry you straight home Beautiful Boy Come and take me by the hand Beautiful Boy Someday you will be a man Someday, you will be a man Someday you will understand Just what your smile means to me Sometimes I just wish that time stood still Just so I can hold you endlessly I just want to walk right by your side I know someday you will walk alone Today I think I'll enjoy the ride Pick you up and carry you straight home Beautiful Boy Come and take me by the hand Beautiful Boy Someday you will be a man Someday you will go away And I will be here all alone Forever in my heart you'll stay Forever in my heart you'll have a home Shine that smile on your face Bring that sunshine home to me You're the joy within my life You're the shining light I see I just want to walk right by your side I know someday you will walk alone Today I think I'll enjoy the ride Pick you up and carry you straight home Beautiful Boy Come and take me by the hand Beautiful Boy Someday you will be a man Someday, you will be a man Beautiful Boy Beautiful Boy Beautiful Boy Beautiful Boy Someday, you will be a man Copyright 2005 Michael D. Lewis
