Alone In Paris
03:23

Verse:
It always seemed so special
As I strolled ev’ry street
The heady perfume in the air
Made My heart skip a beat
yet now there’s something missing
And I can’t feel it’s charm
Ill be so bold say truth be told
I need you in my arms
Chorus:
I was alone in Paris
Splendor all around
The sights and the sounds of Paris
Are my playground
Post cards to you from Paris
Wishing you were here
The days bring ennui in Paris
Without you near
Bridge:
The city of light
Would feel so right
If I had you
Kissing me tonight
My heart like the Seine
And Saint Germain
Is changed if I can’t hear you
Call my name
Chorus:
Yet here I am in Paris
And for you I long
I dream of you in Paris
That’s my love song

Twin Mornings

Ev-er-y time
When it suited you
You would disguise
All you’d say and do
Look straight in my eyes
Flat out deny,
And you would just tell me a lie
I’d compromise
Tho I always knew
Obviously this was overdue
Yes just this one time
Needed you to
Tell me a lie that you were true
B
While the birds and the bees
Dance in grass sing in trees
Love blooms neath the pale crescent moon
But for you and for me
This now can never be
Why did you have to
Set me free?
So now my love
my hands are tied
This final verdict won’t be set aside
You did the one thing
I can’t abide
Cause just this once
Wish you had lied

Vulnerable These Days
06:39
|

|
I’m a little vulnerable these days
My head and heart are in a daze
Not sure of my footing in this life’s maze
I’m just a little vulnerable these days
The minutes tick by not that I care
Not watching the time I’ve lots to spare
It seems a bit more than just a phase
I’m just a little vulnerable these days
B1
It isn’t the weather
No that’s not the case
Hearing the news it’s all such a waste
Times in the past I’d use drink as my nurse
The friends who remain
Tell me this is my curse
A3
Each day I have less and less at stake
I once had a point that I could make
Still hoping that I can find a way
I’m just a little vulnerable these days
B2
Hey don’t get me wrong
I’m not always this lost
And things that I do
Seem well worth the cost
There just are some days
I’m not in control
Of how I might feel
Or where my thoughts go
A4
Please don’t be concerned
It’s all okay
Will show up and join back in the fray
And pick myself up soon come what may
I’m just a little vulnerable these days

Too Much In Love
03:03
|
|||
|
Could be the weather and the heat
Plus those pot holes in the streets
Looks like the Saints are gonna suffer defeat
In the past you would curse
All the stars up above
Not these days cause you’re too much in love
A neighbor you could swear
Makes noises like a bear
And nobody else in the neighborhood cares
Now you let it go by
You’re on some sort of high
Cooing like a dove who’s in love
B
There’s a lilt in your voice
Ev’ry day you rejoice
While you whistle some distracted tune
You’re completely over the moon
Some guy on the plane
Driving you so insane
Kicking your seat with a second line beat
There once was a time you’d have give him a shove
But these days you’re too much in love
These days you’re too much
These days you’re too much in love
Solos on two A’s
B
It’s all sweetness and light
Your eyes shine way too bright
Friends say we lost him too soon
So completely over the moon
Last A
Stuck in traffic in the rain
Used to make you scream in vane
Cursing like a sailor only way more profane
Now you’re singing sweet songs
No one’s ever heard of
Cause these days you’re too much
These days you’re too much
Yes these days you’re too much in love

A Simple Twist Of Fate

All the wounded ones
Have a way
Of breaking your heart
(A crime)
All the wounded ones
Come what may
Will play a large part
(Each time)
Of hurting you
Then they say
Can we please just pretend
That it never happened
Here is my amend
You’re my only friend
May I ask one tiny favor
Please pass me the knife
To twist it again
Soothe you with their charm
While they do the most harm
All the wounded ones
sweet and shy
And won’t blink an eye
As they make you cry
All the wounded ones
Then they say
Recall when I said
That I didn’t mean to
how was I to know this would hurt you so
Once again a little favor
Let me in your life
To cause you more strife
A small sacrifice
Please hand me that knife
Soothe you with their charm
As they do you harm
All the wounded ones

Watch The River
02:16
|
|||
|
Watch the river
Flowing out to the sea
Without cares
Or anxiety
No thoughts of
Notoriety
It reminds me
Nothing lasts forever
Time Passes
Let it all just be and
Bear witness
Trust in what you see
B
Let it go and
Watch those waters gleam
Theres no burden
As I flow downstream
Things have changed now
I’ve forgiven me and
This heavy
Heart has been set free so
Each day holds
Possibility
Mississippi
Flows out to the sea and
She beckons
Come along with me
Dark waters
Are my hearts trustee

Days That Are Quiet
02:38
|
|||
|
Days that are quiet
I glance in the mirror
There’s no need to linger too long
Days that are quiet
there’s no voice reminding me
Of all that I have done wrong
B
In moments of stillness
I watch the world spinning
I’m finally free
I’m finally free of me
Days that are quiet
My time is the present
There’s no place that I’d rather be (have to be)
Solos
Days that are quiet
It’s all really easy
I’m in a flow going downstream
Days that are quiet
Each moment that passes
I’m living a beautiful dream
B
These moment of stillness
I hear my heartbeat
I’m fearless and free
I’m letting it all just be
Because
Days that are quiet
With age and it’s wisdom
I’m finding that I can ignore
What came before

Jackie's Dilemma
03:43
|

|
It was Jackie’s dilemma did he jump or did he fall
When it came to this new women he just couldn’t tell at all
He liked to think that he was smart but this one’s tough to call
There was something bout the way she looked that made him feel real small
And altho I tried to warn him buddy look before you leap
It wasn’t long before I heard he’d fallen hard and deep
Yes He found himself so much in love that he was losin sleep
Every night he’d toss and turn he couldn’t even count those sheep
Yeah that Jackie
he just never had much sense
Lots of ladies
Tho his heart stayed on the fence
Liked a good time yes you know he’s had a few
But now he’s got that fever doesn’t know just what to do
There was something he was going thru and he just couldn’t see
it wasn’t what he drank or smoked that made this come to be
Always had a whole lot more control with every other she
Found his heart was
Pumping really fast she’d brought him to his knees.
Solos
Yeah that Jackie
he just never had much sense
Lots of ladies
But his heart stayed on the fence
He’s a goner and he doesn’t even know
How life’s about to change now cause she will run the show
Yes was Jackie’s dilemma that day he met jaqulene
When she took her entrance evry room would then become a scene
Yes his world revolved around her she became his everything
And it wasn’t long left fourth finger displayed that diamond ring
