Adults will enjoy revisiting Art Garfunkel and some of the more familiar tunes such as Cat Stevens's "Morning Has Broken," John Sebastian's "Daydream," and the Beatles' "I Will."

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the meaning of the poetic language in "Lasso The Moon." What pictures do they see in their mind? Why do they think the singer is saying this? ("If I were a rocketeer, I'd scale the universe to bring your heart a star each morning...If I had a lariat made of dreams come true I would lasso the moon for you.")
