Geocache Description:

Seek a micro cache in this small park in Sanrizuka. Lots of trees in the park and a perfect place for Hanami.

 


When I was placing the cache,I had the song,"Make Me Smile",going through my head. It's my favorite song by the band Chicago. The blues and soul by guitarist and vocalist Terry Kath are unmatched by anyone, period. His untimely death in 1978 saddens me to this day, but I can't help but smile when I hear this song.I was fortunate to see the band play it live in the mid 70s from a fifth row seat.

 

Make me smile and find my cache. It might be a bit tricky for someone new to the game, but those with experience should be able to find it. If you can't find it, post a "did not find" and I will send you the perfect hint. Now about the song:

"Make Me Smile" is a song written by James Pankow for the rock band Chicagowith the band's guitarist, Terry Kath, on lead vocals. Part 1 of Pankow's 7-part "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannonsong cycle/suite, it was recorded for their second album, Chicago (often called Chicago II), which was released in 1970.

Children play in the park, they don't know
I'm alone in the dark, even though
Time and time again I see your face smiling inside

I'm so happy (oh, oh)
That you love me (oh, oh)
Life is lovely (woah)
When you're near me

Tell me you will stay
Make me smile

Living life is just a game so they say
All the games we used to play fade away
We may now enjoy the dreams we shared so long ago

Oh my darling
Got to have you
Feel the magic
When I hold you

Cry sweet tears of joy
Touch the sky

Now I need you (oh, yeah)
More than ever (oh, yeah)
No more crying (ohh, ohh)
We're together

Tell me you will stay
Make me smile

Songwriters
JAMES CARTER PANKOW
