Whisper

I feel the warmth of your breath, when you whisper in my ear
Softly spoken words I long to hear
You bring sunshine into my life, you turn my grey skies to blue
Just by whispering 3 words "I Love You"
 
You can stop the rain, and make the sun shine again
You can make these clouds disappear
Make me smile again because your words are so sincere
As you softly whisper in my ear
 
Countless noises fill the air, oh so loud and clear
But all I hear is you whisper in my ear
 
You can stop the rain, and make the sun come out again
You can make these clouds disappear
Make me smile again because your words are so sincere
As you softly whisper in my ear
 
Sweet melodies of our whispered words in harmony
Makes my heart... skip a beat
 
I love the warmth of your breath
When you whisper in my ear
Softly spoken words I long to hear
 
I love you
I love you
I love you

The Dream
 
Well... I'm headin out gonna catch that Eastbound train
No looking back so "Adios" to the ball and chain
Yes, I'm leaving behind all the worries and blame, just my guitar, and desire to find some fame
 
Ain't no stoppin me now, my collar up, it's time to flee
Can't slow me down, no I don't need anyone but me
Just kickin' back my guitar on my knee, won't put it down untill Nashville, Tennessee
 
So... I bought myself a pair of blue suede shoes
Black Velvet is my muse
Hittin the road, and paying my dues
Rockin' them old Hillbilly Cat Blues
Ya  hear the news…
 
Back in 54 a young cat from Tupelo
Had a different sound that we now know as Rock n' Roll
Just one track was all it took to put Sun Records on the map
The boy had soul
 
Now I'm playing a show and as happy as can be
Livin the dream out here in Nashville, Tennessee
Then one cool night while in the spotlight what do I see is the wife staring back at me
Needless to say we're heading Westbound late that night
Not a word was spoken till Nashville was out of sight
As I see her face in the bright moonlight, I turn to her and say "mamma that's' all right"
 
Then I awake… It’s all a dream
A Shake, Rattlin and Roll
A bit extreme
 
This crazy dream
The Impossible dream
About me and the King
Uh-huh-huh!
Uh-huh-huh!

Thank you, thank you very much…

 I Pledge
 
For all my sisters and my brothers
Sharing this precious gift of life
We all need to ban together
Promoting peace and ending strife
 
We must encourage one another
And furthermore must educate
Empower others to love each other
And make this world a better place
 
Yes, we must work for a brighter future
A celebration of rebirth
And make the time to take this pledge together...
"To be non-violent, respect, my body and the earth"
 
True beauty comes from the inside
But when self-assurance gets beat down
Rebuilding lives from the outside
Can turn that frown upside down
 
Yes, we must work for a brighter future
A celebration of rebirth
And make the time to take this pledge together...
"To be non-violent, respect, my body and the earth"
 
Lives will be changed
And rearranged
Restoring freedom from doubt
If we all reach out
 
Yes, we must work for a brighter future
A celebration of rebirth
And make the time to take this pledge together...
"To be non-violent, respect, my body and the earth"
"To be non-violent, respect my body and the earth"

 When We Were Young
 
When we were young we had so much fun, we didn’t care what others wear
Short or tall we didn’t care at all
We had no shame, we were all the same, black or white we didn’t fight
Thin or not… we didn’t care about that
 
When did we become so concerned with image?
Is it true or just my point of view?
That our society has become so self-absorbed… sometimes I’m guilty too
 
Well puberty it changed everything, The TV screen and the magazines
Sex and drugs… heading out to clubs
I reminisce about times I miss, when we ate what was on our plate
We would never mock the way you talk
 
When did we become so concerned with image?
Is it true or just my point of view?
That our society has become so self-absorbed… sometimes I’m guilty too
 
I’d like to believe
In all honesty… That who we are is more than who we see
 
So when did we become so concerned with image?
Is it true or just my point of view?
That our society has become so self-absorbed… sometimes I’m guilty too
 
When we were young we had so much fun, we didn’t care what others wear… We had no shame at all

My Boy
 
Resting my weary eyes at home again... after a hard, long, long day
Hoping someday we’ll be together again...  as thoughts of you bring tears where I lay
 
When I wake I find you here my son...  You’re in my soul
As weeks turn to months without a word my son...  I fear that once again you lost control
 
My Boy…  I miss you...  How can I help you understand? 
How hard it is to continue to watch you live, with those demons that keep you from climbing out of the sand
 
Time may pass, and I still maintain... That I’ll always be here for you
And though it’s hard to watch you continue this way... believe me I’ll be here when you break through
 
My Boy…  I miss you...  How can I help you understand? 
How hard it is to continue to watch you live, with those demons that keep you from climbing out of the sand
 
Long ago you worked hard to keep it clean
Believing that was the hardest part
Many years have passed... and obviously
Each day you must fight for that new start     
 
We were so close, but now so far away... living completely separate lives
But I hold strong with hope, and here I stay... Trusting that someday you will thrive
 
My Boy…  I miss you...  How can I help you understand? 
How hard it is to continue to watch you live, with those demons that keep you from climbing out of the sand
 
How hard it is to have so much love to give...  But only you, my son, can decide to make that stand


-----


The One You Love
 
When I wake up to your warm embrace…  It’s puts a smile right on my face
What a special loving way…  To rise and shine and begin my day
Lovers wrapped in each other’s arms… And just ignore the alarm
These special times that mean so much… To feel your amazing touch
 
I wish this feeling for everyone… No one should ever be alone
Never ever be neglectful of…   Or take for granted the one you love
 
Life is love and should always be…  Treated as such, there’s no guarantee
Live your life and rise above…  Because we all deserve to be in love
 
I wish this feeling for everyone… No one should ever be alone
Never ever be neglectful of…   Or take for granted the one you love
 
Life is short
Never doubt what can be
Don’t let love pass you by
Having it can set you free
 
Realize that there is always hope…  Listen to these words and make a note
And when necessary make your way, to spread your love each and everyday
t
I wish this feeling for everyone… No one should ever be alone
Never ever be neglectful of…   Or take for granted the one you love

 Middle of The Night
 
Day has turned into night
Heading home just doesn't seem right
This morning you were leaving, my heart was bleeding
Hoping you'd be there to greet me tonight
 
Later as I turn out the light
It still just doesn't seem right
The shadow in the mirror now, it seems so surreal now
In the middle of the night
 
Look out...  Listen...  Even the silent stars will glisten
In the middle of the night
 
In the middle of the night…  It still just doesn't seem right
I lie here thinking of all the songs I've written for you
Tells me everything will be alright
 
Look out...  Listen...  The clock on your side is still ticking
In the middle of the night
 
Where did it all go wrong?
You've been away too long
And I just want you to come home
 
Your pillows boarder my head
These sheets surrounding my bed
Just tossing and a turning while my heart keeps yearning
Wishing you were here with me instead
Wishing...  Missing...   Hugging and snuggling and kissing
In the middle of the night (2x)
 
Missing you
Kissing you
In the middle of the night

For The Teachers
 
It's all for the children
A chance for a brighter future
It isn't for the money
Or glory or recognition
 
Its dedication and commitment  
Long hours without extra pay    
Sacrifice that makes a difference
Helping young ones to make the grade

This is for the teachers
Their passion is second to none
Their unselfish ways, help kids everyday
And encourage the ones who believe the battle can't be won
 
Without their time and expectations
Where would some children be?
For those that struggle
Teachers help them to achieve

This is for the teachers
Their passion is second to none
Their unselfish ways, help kids everyday
And encourage the ones who believe the battle can't be won
 
These unsung heroes  
Face new challenges along the way
It’s their avocation
And their love for teaching that words can't convey         
 
This is for the teachers
Their passion is second to none
Their unselfish ways, help kids everyday
And encourage the ones who believe the battle can't be won

Since You've Been Gone
 
Many nights we talk though it's been years
Often times I'm still fighting back the tears
It took time to put my anger aside
Unanswered questions... No chance to say good-bye
 
Since you've been gone I've had to learn to be strong
Since you've been gone I've had to learn to carry on
 
They say time heals pain, I know that's true
But it's so much harder than I ever thought in losing you
Your amazing spirit will always shine bright
Reminded everyday my baby shares your shining light
 
Since you've been gone I've had to learn to be strong
Since you've been gone I've had to learn to carry on
 
It felt like a piece of me that day
Was selfishly taken away
But I know what you left was tried and true
Your legacy will carry through
 
Lessons learned...  I learned from you
Many times those lessons learned helped pull me through
I feel you with me in my life everyday
Loving memories I can always replay
 
Since you've been gone I've had to learn to be strong
Since you've been gone I've had to learn to carry on
 
Hmm.....     Because of you I'm strong I'll carry on.

Better World
 
As I look back now, through the years
So many changes, so many fears
Now looking forward to brighter days
It’s out there somewhere through all this haze
 
Of dreams and living
Less taking more giving
We need to build a better world
 
Time will move forward, the clock's ticking on
Our kids need something they can depend upon
And we must guide them
Adopt from those before
Lead by example
Step to the fore
 
There’s no time to stand still
And we must fulfill
And leave behind a better world
 
Everywhere we turn it seems this battle rages on
Countries at war, global changes, kids with guns  
Changes will follow if we can alter where we’ve been
Building a better world must begin
 
As I think back now, through the years
So many changes, too many tears
But looking forward for brighter days
I know it’s out there somewhere
Through all this haze
 
Of dreams and living
Less taking more giving
We need to build a better world
Let’s build a better world

A Day to Myself
 
Today I'll sleep till noontime
Gone is yesterday
Forget what I said
Just want to stay in bed
No social media
No status change
No recently posted
Just disappear instead
 
Turn off the phone, pull those shades way down low
Store the laptop on the shelf
Unplug it all and enjoy this dimension
A day to myself
 
No plans, just my thoughts
Can remain at bay
Yes this is my time
So I'll just fade away
 
Turn off the phone, pull those shades way down low
Store the laptop on the shelf
Unplug it all and enjoy this dimension
A day to myself
 
No interruptions
Like it was when just a kid
No constant connection
Enjoying my day off the grid 
 
Turn off the phone, pull those shades way down low
Store the laptop on the shelf
Unplug it all and enjoy this dimension
A day to myself

Good Morning Afternoon
 
Good Morning Afternoon
You arrived a little too soon
Where has the time gone to?
Good Morning Afternoon
 
Remember when they put a man on the moon?
Saturday mornings Looney Tunes
Family nights sitting around the tube
And only few channels from which to choose
 
The turbulent 60s we all let our hair grow
Trends in the 70s...  Then Disco
80s married way too young
Single in the 90s, my life has just begun
 
Good Morning Afternoon
Another marriage, children too
The new millennium, a dream come true
Sharing my music...  way over-due
 
Looking back, years gone by
In the blink of an eye
Life sure seemed to pass me by
It's been quite a ride
 
Good Morning Afternoon
Looking back in my rear view
Some regrets...  just a few
Good Morning Afternoon
 
Good Morning Afternoon
Sunrise burned the morning dew
Now I welcome the sunset peeking through, so… Good Morning Afternoon

Southern California

Came out to visit some years ago
I fell in love now wouldn't you know
Was greeted back home with 3 feet of snow
Note to self...  It's time to go

Why not become another statistic
I knew back home they'd go ballistic
Another transplant let's be realistic
Only I was optimistic

Of Southern California
Back East they used to warn ya
They'd say that's the land of the fruits and nuts
All of that talkin smack of the wack left coast
That's gonna fall off the map
But now that I'm here I can't go back

So I moved out West oh what a pity
Found a southern Cali girl oh she's so pretty
I thought I'd write this cute little ditty
Of America's finest city

In Southern California
Back East they used to warn ya
They'd say that's the land of the fruits and nuts
All of that talkin smack of the wack left coast
How everyone's on crack
But now that I'm here I can't go back


Let's talk about the weather
How can we talk about the weather
Everyday is oh so nice
Here in paradise

Just you and me on the 163
Heading to our favorite spot by the sea
I'll stop for coffee and you'll get some tea
Tonight there will be no TV

Another sunset one for the ages
Another chapter just turn the pages
Another gorgeous day well what can I say
I'll never ever move away


From Southern California
Back East they used to warn ya
They'd say that's the land of the fruits and nuts
All of that talkin smack of the wack left coast
That's gonna fall off the map
But now that I'm here I can't go back
Now that I'm here I won't go back

Watching ESPN

Well here I sit with my remote control
No-one around yes I'm all alone
A Friday night and a bottle of wine
Just me and my Sony spending quality time

The wife's out and the kids are gone
It's not that often I get time alone
So many channels don't know where to begin
Keep finding myself watch ESPN

So many channels, so many choices
No honey-dos no sweet little voices
The pop-corn's poppin, the wine is chilling
But I can't find one darn show to sink my teeth in

Now a few hours pass I haven't watched one show
Just sitting here surfing, sipping wine real slow
The pop-corns gone now it's on to Wheat Thins
And watching Sports Center back on ESPN

So many channels, so many choices
No honey-dos no sweet little voices
The pop-corn's poppin, but the wine still chilling
Just staring at the TV with a silly grin

Digital, High Def, or Plasma
It just doesn't even seem to matter

Now a few more hours pass and nothing has changed
Just pushing these buttons like a video game
Now everyone's home and we're off to bed
As the lights go off grab the remote instead

So many channels, so many choices
No honey-dos no sweet little voices
As we kiss good-night and get tucked in
I find myself again watching ESPN

BooYah!

He Just Plays For Love

Now here's the story of a music man
But music wasn't his original plan
No as things settled in his life
He found some time and he began to write

Now he's not looking to become a star
Just some time with his guitar
The stories that he'd like to share are
Stories of hope and not despair

He doesn't play for the money
Music is just in his blood
He doesn't play to get the girls
He just plays for love

Not trying to become a millionaire
Just writing songs for you to share
With some simple little melodies
His voice and martin in the key of C

He doesn't play to make a lot of money
That's what his day job is for
Happily married so it's not for the girls
Music is just in his soul

Young or old he hopes to make it clear
That through his words you'll become more aware
That life's too short so make the best of
What you have and not the rest

He'd like to see a smile on your face
By the time you leave his space
With his guitar and laid back style
He hopes he made this time with you worthwhile

He doesn't play for the money
Music is just in his blood
He doesn't play to get the girls
He just plays for love

Where's The Love

We read it in all the papers
It's in all the magazines
We keep searching for the answers
Its on every television screen

It's in every schoolyard corner
Programmed  in games our children play
So much hatred for one another
Benevolence can go a long long way

Where's the love, where's the love, where's the love
Where's the love, where's the love, where's the love

Why can't there be peace on earth
When will we feel like we all belong
Who has the right to price human worth
Why can't we all just get along

Where's the love, where's the love, where's the love
Where's the love, where's the love, where's the love

We all must start and do our part
We all must find the strength within
Spread the love and with help from above
We can change the world by sharing love

Where's the love, where's the love
Where's the love, where's the love, where's the love

Yes we all can make a difference
And begin by teaching our children how
To live their lives without indifference
And shower them with love here and now

Where's the love, where's the love, where's the love
Where's the love, where's the love, where's the love

Where's the love

You and Me

It's like that certain song
Heard on the radio
That helps you along
When time seems to move so slow

Makes me believe
True love can be
That's when I think of you and me

I gave you my heart
Now that's forever yours
You gave me your love
And that's forever pure

Now I believe
True love can be
And that's when I think of you and me

You will always be the one for me
I will always be the one for you
Happy together we shall be
And I will always believe in you and me

Now that you're here
I will never turn away
My darling, my dear
Together we will find away

Yes I believe
Two hearts can be
Beating as one eternally

It's like that certain song...

My Sweet Simone


It was sometime ago
How was I to know
The right from the start
This lovely little girl would steal my heart

So precious and pure
And so unsure
Now my little girl
Is off to face the world

How the years have flown
Since you first called me Daddy on your own
How beautifully you've grown
You know they broke the mold and now its gone
You're like a rare precious stone
My sweet Simone

There's so much in store
So go out and explore
But stay on course
And know that I will always be your source

For comfort for strength
I'll go to any length
To guide you along
So you'll always know that you'll belong

How the years have flown
Since I bought your Mother your birthstone
How beautifully you've grown
You know they broke the mold and now its gone
You're like a rare precious stone
My sweet Simone

As sure as the waves roll in from the sea
You can always count on me

Take a good look around
And notice what you've found
Loving family and friends
Who will always be there as you transcend 

How the years have flown
Since you first called me Daddy on your own
How beautifully you've grown
You know they broke the mold and now its gone
You're like a rare precious stone
My sweet Simone
My sweet Simone
My sweet Simone
My sweet Simone

Little Miss Sunshine

She wakes up and brushes her hair
Heads down for breakfast and then back upstairs
Singing the first song that pops into her head
As she finishes making her bed, yea

Then to the pone to call her best friend
Making there plans to meet where and when
Brushes her teeth then she's out the door
My little miss sunshine out to explore her day, she's ok

All day in school now she makes the grade
In fact, she's sometimes the teachers aid
When school let's out now she likes to roam
But by dinner time she'll find her way home by then, Amen

For my little miss sunshine brightens my day
When I get home from work she's there right away
Always has the right thing to say
Like I love you Daddy well that makes my day ok, everyday

My little miss sunshine, my little miss sunshine
My little miss sunshine, my little miss sunshine
Yea e yah, Yea e yah

After her homework's done she's in full swing
Jumps in the shower and then starts to sing
Like an angel from the heavens above
She fills this household with so much love

For my little miss sunshine brightens my day
Makes my life seem full and blessed everyday
Always has the right thing to say
Like I love you Daddy before she heads away to bed
It's never left unsaid


My little miss sunshine, my little miss sunshine
My little miss sunshine, my little miss sunshine
Yea e yah, Yea e yah, Yea e yah

Emo Escondido

He turned 15 in 07
Got a 6 string was in heaven
Started practicing with a neighbor
Dreams of big times
Write songs about her

A new wardrobe then new attitude
Livin rock star and a new dew
Forms a new band
Attitude stance
Picks on Myspace
In his tight pants

A new alternative
Emo Escondido
A new alternative
Emo Escondido

Nothin matters but the music
Must keep his grades up
But he think school sucks
Wishing he had so much more time
To record the beats in his mind

A new alternative
Emo Escondido
A new alternative
Emo Escondido

Like most 15 year olds
He think tome moves way too slow
Always wants to raise the bar
Can't wait to be a rock star

Unfortunately
This rock star to be
Is only 15
Must work towards his degree
Only time will tell
If he'll reach his goal
And if he'll be
Next king of rock and roll

A new alternative
Emo Escondido
A new alternative
Emo Escondido
A new alternative

Friday

My eyes open to the early morning radio
Yes it's another day thinking of places where I'd rather go
But there's bills to pay so off to work in the career I chose
And as this day fades away I'll get to do another show

Yes Friday's here so I grab my guitar and gear
Just one more day to get through
Then it's time to play and sing songs in my own way
And share my passion of song with you

It's sad when we outgrow all the dreams we had so long ago
And push aside those things that really make our juices flow
Too many people get so caught up and can't let go
But it's never too late to grab that piece of life you seemed to forgo

Well Friday;s here so why not have another beer
Another week you made it through
Go out and play and sing songs in your own way
And make this your life's big debut

Why do we allow
The fire within
To fade away and die

We only have one life in which to make our mark
So what will it take to give that fading fire a spark
Push fear aside now and make this the time to embark
We have so little time so why keep living in the dark

Yes Friday's here make this your life premier
Another chance to start anew
Today's the day now do it in your own way
And follow through the way only you can do

My eyes open...

Once A Rising Star

He dwells on his past today
When everything just fell into place
He's haunted by the memories of what was

He just living for the moment
Can't let go
Not worried about the future
No, no, no
He's just stalled in time because

He fell victim to the chemicals of the day
Now he's to dependent to play
Once a rising star
So close but now so far

Now he's frozen in a state of dismay

She could stop traffic once upon a time
Held the world in the palm of her hands
Now she's searching for that time and place

But that all seemed so long ago
Now her comforts from the bottle
Dont'cha know
She's lost in her own empty space

She handles all her pressures with a smirk
Now she's to dependent to work
Once a rising star
So close but now so far

And she's so unaware and in disarray

Fitting in and trying to stay in style
At the time it all seemed so worthwhile
Once a rising star
So close but now so far

So if you believe you have what it takes
It's all about choices don't make that mistake
Just say no that's not a cliche

And follow your heart and continue to dream
And someday you'll know what I mean
That living the clean life is what it takes

Don't fall victim to the chemicals of the day
Don't throw it all away don't fade away
Be that rising star
And someday you may go far

Our Remember When

I see it in your eyes
This comes as no surprise
That we'd be standing here
After all these years

Seems just like yesterday
You took my breath away
The past holds our memories
The future still lies in our dreams

This is our remember when
This journey has changed time and time again

From that first day that we met
You playing hard to get
My silly lines that seemed so cool
Oh how you made me drool

All the beds and turns we knew
All the bumps and bruises too
All that we have both been through
I can't imagine my life without you

This is our remember when
This life we share was built from love within

Some years ago I gave my heart
And you knew from the very start
Now as this life of ours unfolds
New stories will someday be told


This is our remember when
We live, we love, we'd do it all again
This is our remember when


-----


So Long

Don't  look so surprised
Just look into my eyes
Someday we all must die
So don't be afraid to cry

Just keep the memories of the ones we love
Close by

Life will still go on
When loved ones are gone
Just keep there spirit strong
And your heart will beat along

To the melodies of the life they've shared

So long

Keep it Clean
 
You just gotta keep movin on
Hold you head up high while you're gone
 You can lean on me
But you gotta keep it clean
Keep on...

Take this time while you are still young
You must work hard but still have some fun
Keep in mind it's up to you
But you gotta keep it clean
Keep on...

Piece it all together and you will move on
Open up your heart and you will be strong
Chase your wildest dreams before they're all gone
But you gotta keep it clean
Keep on...

Now's the time to learn from the past
Just take the wheel and don't dare look back
Remember that you're not all alone
When you need to talk just pick up the phone

You can lean on me
But you gotta keep it clean
Keep on...

You gotta piece it all together and you will move on
Open up your heart and you will be strong
Chase your wildest dreams before they're all gone
But you gotta keep it clean
Keep on...

Always remember where you come from
You can't look back you've got to move on
My blood runs through your veins
Its time to rid yourself from shame
Keep on...

Piece it all together and you will move on
Open up your heart and you will be strong
Chase your wildest dreams before they're all gone
But you gotta keep it clean
Keep on...

Happiness is Like A Kiss

When you're down and feelin blue
There are certain things that you can do
So take your time you must pursue
Cause how to choose may define you

Don't get caught up in that great big lie
That life sucks and then you die
Wipe those tears kiss the blues good-bye
Above the clouds is a big blue sky

Don't try so hard to seek it
You will know it when you find it
You must share it to enjoy it
Happiness is like a kiss

So smile at a passer by
Whistle when you want to cry
Wipe those tears kiss the blues good-bye
Remember what I said about the sky

So start your day with a great big smile
You'll see this blues were just a trial
Head out your door now and go in style
You'll find the life you lead is so worthwhile

So don't try so hard to seek it
You will know it when you find it
You must share it to enjoy it
Happiness is like a kiss

Is There Any Reason

This seems all to familiar
Will this story end the same as before
Will it ever stop
When will they come home

How many more people
How many more families, how long will this go
Is there any reason, will we ever know

We rely but does the government supply
They just deny and continue to imply
While people still cry kissing loved ones
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Will they ever justify

Do we have choices
Or are we just puppets on a string
Following this deadly familiar path

Will we ever get answers
Or will this story end the same as before
Is there any reason, we can't be sure

We rely but does the government supply
They just deny and continue to imply
While people still cry kissing loved ones
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Will they ever justify


Stop the lying
Continuously denying
We're just not buying
Cause people are still dying


We rely but does the government supply
They just deny and continue to imply
While people still cry kissing loved ones
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Will they ever justify

Today's The Day

It's 6am and the sun is shining
I clear the cobwebs from my head
Nothing today can keep me from smiling
As I lay here on my bed

Today's the day my baby comes home
Oh how I missed her so
Soon I'll have her beside me from now on

Too many days have gone by without her
Too many hours I've been all alone
As each day passed my anticipation grew
It seems my love for her has only grown

Today's the day my baby comes home
Oh how I missed her so
Soon I'll have her beside me from now on

This time apart has opened my eyes
Now I can see what she means to me
No more jokes and no more lies
She's coming home and she's all I need

In a few sort hours I'll get my chance
To change my old ways and start anew
Lying here and remembering our first dance
And how empty my life is without her

Today's the day my baby comes home
Oh how I missed her so
Soon I'll have her beside me from now on

Today's the day my baby comes home
Oh how I missed her so
Soon she'll stand beside me from now on

May I have This Dance

May I have this dance
This dance that will last forever
Hold on to me now, don't let go
With you here in my arms
I can go on forever
Just look into my eyes and I'll know

I'll know all the joy that true love can bring
Deep within my heart it grows
All of my dreams have all come true
Because of you I know

At times I'll hurt for you
At times I'll cling to you
At times I'll need to take a stance
Let's never forget this time
This lovely and precious time
That we share so lets take our chance

Remember that moment
That moment we first met
Remember that very first glance
Now here we are and I offer you my hand
May I have this dance
May I have this dance
May I have this dance

A Little Piece Inside of Me

I'm heading east to see my family and friends
I've been away this time for far too long
I'm looking forward to all the catching up
And what's been on around here since I've been gone

Mom and Dad have kept the old place up
It hasn't changed very much since I was young
My sis and brothers families are doing fine
Can't wait to get together and we'll have some fun

Every time I come back to this old town
A little piece inside of me comes out
Can't wait to catch up with everyone
And roam this place where I come from

I'm lucky to have the family that I have
Strong family ties and supporting Mom an d Dad
I'll never, ever forget where I come from
I'm never going to stay away again this long

Every time I come back to this old town
A little piece inside of me comes out
That little boy that grew up strong
I like the man that I've become

I've got a great group of friends who greet me when I come back
We reminisce about the good times that we had
I can't believe all the things that we did back then
Now all we have is do you remember when

Every time I come back to this old town
A little piece inside of me comes out
Catching up with everyone
Memories of days long gone
I'm heading home

I Found You

I've been walking down this road now I know
That there is someone somewhere
Where I need to go
And when I get there
You know my heart will tell me so

That I...  I have found my way
I...  I am here to stay
I... I can no longer lose
Cause I...  I found you

Waiting and wondering can this dream really be
One more step in my life's long destiny
Though once seemed hazy now the future I can see

That I...  I have found my way
I...  I am here to stay
I... I feel the old turn into new
Since I...  I found you

Now we're together all the birds begin to sing
The sun shines brighter it's love in spring
Your tender lips your loving eyes that shine
God glance my way and made you mine

I've been walking down this road now I know
That there is someone somewhere
Where I need to go
And when I get there
You know my heart will tell me so

That I...  I have found my way
I...  I am here to stay
I... I can no longer lose
Cause I...  I found you
I...  I found you

The Mark of Rebellion

Today... it's so high fashion
Today...  It's so cool
Today... everyone's passion
Today... don't you be a fool

You walk around the streets of the city
You walk around you're looking so fly
You don't want anybody's pity
You like the fact that people ask why

The mark of rebellion
You got it alright
The mark of rebellion
You got it tonight

You fight the pain gotta have more ink injected
Can't have just one no you gotta move on
Not even thinking of possible infection
Just wondering why you waited so long

The mark of rebellion
You got it alright
The mark of rebellion
You got it tonight

It seemed like such a cool thing
When you were young and wild
Now all those tats don't suit your style
Just wait awhile

The years pass by you're looking in the mirror
You're pondering and now you ask why
So long ago not thinking about the future
Now all those tattoos just make you sigh

The mark of rebellion
You got it alright
The mark of rebellion
Makes you sigh tonight

Just wait and think before you go and get tattooed
Just wait and think before you get tattooed
They don't rub off
Just wait before you go and get tattooed

Another Chapter

Another chapter has begun
Two hearts begin to beat as one
All who have gathered here can feel
The love we share is oh so real

Our future now seems very clear
The dreams we share we hold so dear
Our past has helped us both to grow
Sharing all that we've come to know

I believe this to be
What you want this to be
You're the angel in my dreams
Baby can't you see
You can count on me

Fate came our way brought us together
Our friendship grows stronger everyday
Trust was our guide through the stormy weather
Having faith brought us closer in every way

That first day we met I simply knew
My life rediscovered by the magic of you
How it came as no surprise
Your tender words opened up my eyes

Now I can see
Heaven sent you to me
Embracing my world this was meant to be
It was destiny

I thank the Lord we found each other
My lifelong companion till the end
A new life to build with one another
I thank the Lord for my best friend
I thank the Lord for my best friend

Pink Balloons

Not so long ago it seems I held you in my arms
That little girl I used to twirl with lovely childhood charms
Now the day has gone and I must send you on your way
With blessings, but it's hard in every way

Pink balloons, looney tunes, bows, ribbons and curls
To Daddy please can I have the keys
Now here's my little girl

Without your love and sacrifice I wonder where I'd be
Your caring words and good advice guide me so I can see
You stood today gave me away now I became a wife
You helped to pave the way for my new life

From pink balloons, looney tunes, bows, ribbons and curls
Now Daddy know that I will always be
Your precious little girl

You stood today gave me away now I became a wife
You helped to pave the way for my new life

You will always be Daddy's precious girl

Thoughts of You

Silent is the night
Thoughts of you seem bright
Longing for that day
You'll spend the night

I want to hold you near
Thoughts of you seem clear
Softly spoken words
How I long to hear

I opened up my world to you
You welcomed me somehow you knew
Although the times we share are few
I live day by day with
Such sweet thoughts of you

So many miles apart
Thoughts of you will start
Keeping perfect beat
Of my lonely heart

I wonder where to go
Thoughts of you I know
Turns the dim
Into a welcome glow

I opened up my world to you
You welcomed me somehow you knew
Although the times we share are few
I live day by day with
Such sweet thoughts of you

So unexpectedly
Thoughts of you I see
Tender times
Spent so romantically

I hope this song is clear
Thoughts of you my dear
We're so far apart
But oh how I hold them near

I opened up my world to you
You welcomed me somehow you knew
Although the times we share are few
I live day by day with
Such sweet thoughts of you

I live day by day with
Such sweet thoughts of you

Right This Wrong

I need to talk to you
So please pick up the line
I need to see you
We've wasted so much precious time

This misunderstanding
Is causing us way too much pain
We must talk this through now
And get beyond all this painful blame

Do we throw away all our plans
All our plans for the future
If we're going to make this journey lifelong
Together we must right this wrong

I don't have all the answers
But life without you is such a crime
So let's start the healing
I know that it may take some time

Some harsh words were spoken
But as I think back it makes me feel
There's still so much passion
So much passion between you and me

Let's dry up all these tears
And conquer all our fears
Let's move on and leave the past behind
And live our lives with peace of mind

It's time to make peace now
And put these back the way they should be
Let's learn from this now
And let's agree to disagree

Do we throw away all our plans
All our plans for the future
If we're going to make this journey lifelong
Together we must right this wrong

State of Mind

Finding all the pieces and piecing them together
Keeps you safe and warm all through the stormy weather
When you're looking back in time and wondering where you're going

Keep a close look at which way the wind is blowing

Learning from mistakes and always moving toward
That place in your life when you'll find greatest reward
Never slowing down not even when you fail
You gotta stay positive and soon you will prevail

Time is on your side
Now let experience be your guide
Don't let your dreams fade and die
Just keep on reaching for the sky

The key to staying young is always having fun
And knowing when you reach a goal son you're not done
The journey that we take can always make or break
So focus on the road and every step you take

Don't fall into that trap that you're too old for that
So whistle while you work and sing a rat-a-tat
We have so little time so make up your mind
Press on and moving forward because we can't rewind

Time is on your side
Now let experience be your guide
Don't let your dreams fade and die
Just keep on reaching for the sky

Age is just a state of mind
Don't get hung up on the passing time
Getting older is not a crime
Keep the feeling that you're always in your prime
Always in your prime...  yea

You only get one life so go and take a chance
Now get up off your ass and join in the dance
Take advantage of this time so don't you fall short
And look in all directions to gain the best support

Now live each and everyday as if it were your last
And all your expectations you will certainly surpass
You just can't ignore there's better things in store
So conquer all your fears and you'll open many doors

Cause time is on your side
Now let experience be your guide
Don't let your dreams fade and die
Just keep on reaching for the sky
