Prom night
I couldn't find someone to go with
Broken-hearted I went by myself
Then I saw her
Standing alone across the room
Shining brighter than a full moon
Yeah she was so beautiful
Walked over and asked her if she wanted to dance
She smiled so lovely, and then said yes
Dancing and laughing, having so much fun
Dancing and laughing and falling in love
I couldn't believe it
You were just what I always dreamed of
How could this happen, to a guy like me
And then they turned the lights down low
And the music played real slow
The touch of you took my breath away
Holding you tightly, in a warm caress
I've never been so close to heaven
As precious as a swan gliding through a pond
That night we both had fallen in love

Brain Freeze

I try to talk, but my tongue turns numb
I walk, but begin to fall down
This feeling I have for you
Oh there's nothing that I could do
A plan runs round in my head
For us to at least be friends
I want to speak my mind
But I'm worried, would you mind
If angelic baby
If I may say
You're the most lovely...
No I can't say that!
One day comes as one day goes by
Still can't locate the nerve that makes a smile
I get worked up and swear next time
But when I see you, I change my mind
All day long, your thought bombards my brain
This daydreaming is costing me my grade
Why can't I just walk up to you
Like so many other guys do
And say...
Angelic baby
May I say
Your eyes are like the skies stars
No that sounds so lame!
If only
You felt the same
Well maybe someday
Maybe someday
For now I'll
Just sit here and dream
My whole life away
As I pull out my hair
Dreaming of you
Thinking of me
The thought was beautiful
The thought was fun
But now I realize the dream is gone
A cruel cruel scheme love pulled on me
Oh naive heart
I let you lead
And now you're crushed and suffering
I should have know
I'm so sorry

You fill
My heart
With love
I want
You want
Me not
It hurts so bad
To know that you're in love
To think of
Her every day and night
And know that
She'll never feel the same about you
I try
Not to
Want you
My heart
Blinds my
Mind's view
And maybe
If I was more tall
And darker
And a little more handsome
You'd want me
And this would be a love song instead

I'll Miss You
03:04
|
|||
|
We'll all change
We'll all age
What we know
Will turn strange
We think we'll
Stay the same
For always
And ever
And nothing
And no one
Is forever
I'll love you
Forever
Will never
Forget you
As times change
And times fade
And our past
Turns estranged
When life's spent
And lonely
I'll remember
Let's make it the times of our lives
I'll miss you
Let's make this time worth our while
I'll miss you
Never forget these times
I'll miss you
You'll stay young in my heart
Always in my heart

Lonely Hearts
03:52
|
|||
|
If I said
I love you
I don't think it would be untrue
I'm so glad
I met you
You've made my life feel so brand new
Quiet walks
The long talks
These are the moments I cherish
Lonely hearts
Fueled the spark
And lit the heavens up with it
I look in
To your eyes
And my heart gets thrown off-beat
Beautiful
Sweet angel
My feelings for you overwhelm me
Where were you
Wish I knew
I would have cancelled my lonely trip
You're my
Best friend
When I'm with you, I feel safe

Goodbye
04:12

You didn't even call me up
To say you weren't gonna bother showing up
I can't believe you stood me up
Girl how could you have been so mean
Don't you know you were my queen
You've always been my precious dream
Day and night and in my dreams too
I can't escape the thought of you
A million wishes all shot to bits
And you don't care at all
No you don't care at all
When I call you never have time to talk
It's always "I'm busy, call me back"
All I wanted was to say hello
The wicked games you played with my heart
Lifted me high, just to throw me down hard
Fed me hope, just to tear it apart
Day and night and in my dreams too
I can't escape the thought of you
A million wishes all shot to bits
And you don't care at all
No you don't care at all
It's taken years, but I've finally got myself back together
Broken free from the shackles you've imprisoned me in
Bandaged my heart, and now it's healed as new again
I'm happy to say I'm over you
Wherever your life should lead you
I wish you well, and maybe someday we'll meet again
For now so long, bon voyage - no hard feelings towards you
It was a blast, an experience, and part of growing up
But now my bags are packed, and my one way ticket's been bought
And now it's over, and I say to you for the first time
Goodbye

Sixteen, a bombshell... and my friend
Brown flowing silk for hair
Chocolate eyes and a natural tan
A candy cane smile, pure as snow and love
Somewhere along the way
I guess I fell in love
You said you're gonna miss me
And I just laughed
But then you just disappeared
And left me only with
The re-runs of the past
Looking back at the times
We once had
Sixteen, a bombshell, and my friend
Laughing, having fun
Just you and me
Take me back to the time when we were friends
You wanted to ditch
But I felt bad
Small town values, colliding with big city demands
Got so high off the bliss you'd inject into me
We both thought we were the beginning
Of a good thing
You said you're gonna miss me
I wanted to cry
And then you just disappeared
Left me waiting there
All alone and in the rain
Looking back at the times
We once had
Sixteen, a bombshell, and my friend
Laughing, having fun
Just you and me
Take me back to the time when we were friends
You said you're gonna miss me
That night I cried
Thought about what we had
Why did it have to end
Who took the you out of I
Looking back at the times
We once had
Sixteen, a bombshell, and my friend
Laughing, having fun
Just you and me
Take me back to the time when we were friends

There For You
04:54
|

|
Hardened hearts
Slabs of stone
Cracked and cold
How could love never fill this
Never fill this home
Don't hold it inside
Tell yourself your fine
It's okay to cry
And all I want is to be there for you
Deliver you from all you've been through
Change your darkness to a starlit night
Dry your tears
I'll always be by your side
Wounded hearts
Hope crumbled
You walk this world alone
A stranger revealed in the person
Your whole life you'd known
You feel angry
Empty and grief
Turn, and you'll see me
Cuz all I want is to be there for you
Deliver you from all you've been through
Drown your sorrows, and rescue your life
Heal your tears
Forever stand by your side

Outside children play
Laughter fills the air
And I miss you
The memories will fade
The times we shared, erased
I'll miss you
And now
I'm gone
And you
Moved on
What we
Once shared
You'll soon
Forget
They say time heals all pain
But time tears me further away
From where my heart is
Is the loneliness a phase
Will it someday be okay
Or always remain
And now
I'm gone
And you
Moved on
What we
Once shared
You'll soon
Forget
We read the words and turn the page
We read the words and turn the page
We read the words and turn the page
We read the words and turn the page
I read the words and I lose my place
We read the words and turn the page

A Wonderful Life
02:03
|

|
Memories
Sweet memories
Moments of life passing
I shed a tear
For the warmth they bring
And the void they place in me
Some times were sad
Some times were tough
Sometimes I broke down and cried
But overall
It's really been
A wonderful life

Summer of '89
05:49
|

School got out
And summer arrived
We kicked things off with a water fight
There we were
Just a moment in time
Looking back
It was the time of our lives
It was a summer made of dreams
And it had just begun
Sunrise woke me with a beautiful song
A brand new day in a beautiful world
Ran through the backyard's cool morning shadows
My friends next door would meet me by the wall
Our lives as free as a fantasy
Wide awake in a dream
It was the summer of fun
And you know that's what we had
It was the summer to which
I will always look back
We were kids growing up
Walking a straight path
Having the times of our lives
In the summer of '89
The doors to my dad's store closed for good
Filled the fridge with candy
Who drank all the Yoo-hoo
Sang along to Pirate Radio
Pretended I was a DJ as I taped the songs
I still laugh thinking when my cousin said, "Women are all like snakes"
We packed our bags and flew to Washington
My cousin's wedding, family reunion
Another plane, we're off to Montreal
Road trip with Zou Zou to Niagara Falls
Richard Marx woke us to, "Right Here Waiting For You"
It was the summer of fun
And you know that's what we had
It was the summer to which
I will always look back
We were kids growing up
Walking a straight path
Having the times of our lives
In the summer of '89
I remember the late night barbeques
Spin the bottle in the family room
Picking peaches from our yard of fruits
You sang La Bamba and I yelled "Shut Up!"
Tied a string to a beetle, watched it fly like a kite
I liked to tape record everyday life
It was the summer of fun
And you know that's what we had
It was the summer to which
I will always look back
We were kids growing up
Walking a straight path
Having the times of our lives
In the summer of '89

Hanging On
04:44

I remember being happy
I remember feeling young
What's happening to those days
I feel like they're all gone
You know, I remember all those cool spring mornings
Hanging out with my friends
Feeling good, like a teenager should
And laughing at something one of us just said
Now things are changing, and I don't like it
But there's no turning back
It's so sad it had to end
But I guess - I guess those are the facts
Where did all those days go
What happened to what I knew
Was I left behind
Everyday, I think back to
I'll never forget you
And the best days of my life
The bell rang, we're off for break
There she was, standing in the crowd
Homecoming game, will you be my date
I can't believe I'm driving and allowed
Summer break, three months of total rampage
Get on your bike, I'll meet you at the park
You won't believe who's in my fourth period
Where's my teacher's reasoning
I'll meet you here at lunch
Where did all those days go
What happened to what I knew
What happened to my life
I wish I could go back to
I'll never forget you
In life
I'm on a very long bridge
But from the middle of it
Nothing seems far
But it only goes one way
Better get on my way
But for now, I'm hanging on

My Girl
03:04
|

|
Here I sit, cold and alone
Is there anyone
Rain falls from heaven
And the world becomes a big blur
The silence hurts
As my cries go unheard
Where is she
Songs I've written times before
Mere wishful fantasies
A reality deprived from me
I'm so tired of these empty dreams
Frustration and despair
Momentary anger, subtle flares
Just when exhausted was all hope
It happened
Someone to hold onto
Someone whose eyes sparkle
Someone whose heart calls my name
Laughing and playing
Hand in hand swaying
Kids at heart we'll remain
So full of happiness
You're my little princess
So bubbly
You're the cutest thing
I care so much about you
You know that I love you
My best friend
My fantasy
We anticipate
But we still wait
Cuz that's what true love means
You're the sunshine in my sky
The moonlight that glows bright
The summer that warms up my year
Ever since the day that you came into my life
Since my eyes discovered your breath-taking sight
My heart, my soul have been so full of emotion
This feeling I feel, never have I felt
I look into your eyes, get so lost in myself
I could sleep for an eternity
And no dream would compare to you
And when I hold you under the deep blue night
I send a prayer to God you'll never leave my life
My love for you
Words could never care enough to explain
How'd we find each other in a world so big
I guess love has its ways
And we were meant to be together

At Night She Cries
04:38
|
|||
|
A childhood abandoned
A sweet girl has vanished
Where is Mother's child
Well I bet at night she cries
Yes I bet, at night, she cries
And does it make you sad
To think of what you had
Once at the beginning of life
And now at the beginning of the end
Yes you're now at the beginning
Of the end
Well wasn't it fun
Yes we had a blast
Children together
In friendship and good time
Moments of laughter
Sealed in memory
A piece of you, will always, live inside of me
And remember your friends
Love Mom and Dad
Don't let experience
Rob what you had
Rescue the child
Inside of you

Gray Skies, Sunny Smiles
07:41

The times were great
The times with you
I had it all
I thought you too
I made you laugh
You made me smile
And since you smiled
I couldn't tell you'd cry
Please don't go away
There's a storm coming
The skies have changed
The night's so very late
And you can't think straight
The tides are stirring
I'll hold you through the night
Till the sun strikes
The biting void
The cold may seep in
But I'll do all I can
To tuck you in tight
It's amazing how
Some people can
Make small things great
Make moments last
When you pushed me in
I took you with me
You picked me a flower
And I stuck it in my hair
Don't throw yourself in
The storm is deadly
And the skies now black
The rain is pounding down
And you're so wet
The winds are wailing
Let me hold you through your night
I won't let you die
Please let me in
Don't you know what you're worth
And how much more life will give
In time, give it time
And maybe
I knew all along
This feeling
I felt something was wrong
Please tell me
Is something on your mind
Don't leave me
Behind tonight
In time, it will be alright
Even stormy skies turn warm and blue again
And forever is a long time
To be away from someone who loves you dear
Cuz if I ever lost you
I would stop to care
Cuz all that I loved so dear
Would have disappeared
I know now the night is dark
And the cold still creeps in
Trust God, and love yourself
The emptiness will disappear
