My Old Man Track 1

If I could travel back in time, relive my
childhood years
High school plays and baseball games, pranks
among my peers
I’d visit my first sweetheart crush, hang out with
grade school friends
But I would give the world and more to see my old
man again

I miss his smile, I miss his face, I miss his
warmth,
I miss his grace
I miss him more than he could ever know,
it broke my heart to see him go

A truthful and a simple man, as human as the rest Stubborn and old fashioned, picky and obsessed
Of course we’d fight and argue, but only now and then I wish I could sit and talk with my old man again

I miss his smile, I miss his face, I miss his
warmth,
I miss his grace
I miss him more than he could ever know,
it broke my heart to see him go

If I could travel back in time, my dad would be
my prize
I’d squeeze him hard and hold him tight,
look straight into his eyes
I’d tell him how I love him, that would be just fine Both enjoy the moment, then we’d say goodbye

I miss his smile, I miss his face, I miss his
warmth,
I miss his grace
I miss him more than he could ever know,
it broke my heart to see him go

Stay With me A While Track 2

Softly as you smile, tender as you touch
Stay with me a while, I need you so much
Engulfed within your lusciousness
My passions you beguile
Fill my world with happiness, stay with me a while

Your gentle, lilting dreamy voice, your heaven
sent caress
Your glance, your glare, your striking flair, your
simple playful ness
I’ll love you till the day I die
I’ll gladly walk that mile
Hold me tight, defy the night, stay with me a while

Stay with me and you will find more than
just a show
One who loves you tenderly, who’ll never
let you go
You’re the one I’ve been waiting for
That is what I know

I’m lost without your wondrous ways, your all
consumisg tyle
Melt my heart inside you now, stay with me a while

Stay with me and you will find more than
just a show
One who loves you tenderly, who’ll never
let you go
You’re the one I’ve been waiting for
That is what I know

Deep within your warm embrace, surrendered
to your trust
Life inside your subtle world almost seems unjust
I’ve never felt such peace and joy
Am I now on trial
Say it’s so, you’ll never go, stay with me a while

Stay with me and you will find more
than just a show
One who loves you tenderly, who’ll
never let you go
You’re the one I’ve been waiting for
That is what I know

When The Music Plays Track 3

Every time that music plays, I always think of you
The sweetest dance I’ve ever known, a dream of
life with you
What a thrill when you claimed my heart, on a
glance and a gaze
Take my world into your arms, that’s when that
music plays

When the music plays, when the song goes right
When you squeeze my hand, when we touch at night
I feel your beauty blaze, when the music plays
I feel your beauty blaze, when the music plays

I know I tell you all the time just what I feel
Not that words matter anyway, nothing left to reveal Your delight is all I care for now, the only love
that pays
Take my world into your arms, that’s when that
music plays

When the music plays, when the song goes right
When you squeeze my hand, when we touch at night
I feel your beauty blaze, when the music plays
I feel your beauty blaze, when the music plays

Is there a tune within your mind, has it touched
your soul
And the song I sing for you, are the words too bold What I crave is your velvet touch, that silky soft
embrace
Take my world in to your arms, that’s when that
music plays

When the music plays, when the song goes right
When you squeeze my hand, when we touch at night
I feel your beauty blaze, when the music plays
I feel your beauty blaze, when the music plays
I feel your beauty blaze, when the music plays

Life Is A Playground Track 4

Life is a playground, grab a ticket for the Sally Ride Life is a playground, step right up take the giant slide Just remember not to think too much
You lose the fun and you lose the rush

It’s a game, it’s just for fun
Never meant to hurt anyone
Live your dream, live with all your might
Play it hard but keep the game in sight
Every playground has a bully
Every playground has a thief
Always there to spoil the party
Always there to bring some grief

But when the bully’s got you on the run
Stand your ground and he’s undone

Life is a playground, pick a number and take a chance Any game can set your heart on fire, lots of fame or a wild romance
But if you take it all much too real
You miss the point, you miss you miss a real good feel

It’s a game, it’s just for fun
Never meant to hurt anyone
Live your dream, live with all your might
Play it hard but keep the game in sight

Life is a playground, a roller coaster and a wild mouse Cotton candy and a snow cone, a Jungle Jim and a
haunted house
Enjoy your life and the stars up above
Give the world your heart and your love

It’s a game, it’s just for fun
Never meant to hurt anyone
Live your dream, live with all your might
Play it hard but keep the game in sight
Every playground has a bully
Every playground has a thief
Always there to spoil the party
Always there to bring some grief

But when the bully’s got you on the run
Stand your ground and he’s undone

words dont say enough
(All My Love) Track 5

Many times I’ve tried so hard to sing my son a song But empty strains are all I find, the words come
out all wrong
It’s not that I can’t find a tune, the music’s not so
tough
But in the end I can’t explain, and words don’t say
enough

My little boy is eight years old, he’s sweet as
sweet can be
I just have to tell him how much he means to me
But when I try to make it right, I just can’t find
the stuff
I love my boy so very much, and words don’t
say enough

All my love, all my heart
It’s you that I adore, I’m forever yours

I’ve written songs for lovers, for teachers and a friend When I sing for Julian, I know he’ll comprehend
My boy is so mature, I can’t sing off the cuff
Still I can’t ignore the fact that words don’t say
enough

I’ll be here for you till my days are thru
I’ll treasure what you say, till my dying day

He knows how proud he makes me, he loves to
tease me so
Someday many years from now his time will
come to go
When that parting day arrives, I’ll surely call his bluff I’ll hide my tears and wish him well, and words won’t
say enough

All my love, all my heart
It’s you that I adore, I’m forever yours
All my love, all my love, all my love, all my love,
all my love

Sing LIke Springsteen Track 6

Fires raging inside
Why’d you ever come around
Gave you everything I had
Now my world is crashing down

Gotta sing it real moody Sing it real mean
Find some dirty tattered clothes
Sing like Springsteen
Sing like Springsteen

Gotta hide on the backstreets
Hop a downbound train
Run like hell from your open arms
Avoid your love avoid the pain
Avoid your love avoid the pain

Don’t know nothing about coal mines
Never spent a night in jail
Meet my friends at the steel mill
Get this woman off my trail
Get this woman off my trail

There’s nothing more that we can say
You I’ll always miss
But there’s a trouble inside your heart
And a poison in your kiss
There’s a poison in your kiss

Gotta sing it real moody Sing it real mean
Find some dirty tattered clothes
Sing like Springsteen
Sing like Springsteen

I swear to you I’m sweating buckets of blood
Brutal damage every night
Deaf and dumb, you don’t see what’s wrong
Well I don’t see what’s right
No I don’t see what’s right

I try my best to love you right
I play it straight and nice
But your feelings run hot and cold
You give me fire and ice
You give me fire and ice

There’s nothing more that we can say
You I’ll always miss
But there’s a trouble inside your heart
And a poison in your kiss
There’s a poison in your kiss

Gotta sing it real moody Sing it real mean
Find some dirty tattered clothes
Sing like Springsteen
Sing like Springsteen

Lovers Misunderstood Track 7

Been so long since I saw you, been so long since
we spoke
Ten years lost, we’re overdue to find out why
love broke
Once upon a time, our love was sweet and blind
But your crowded ways and my selfish times
Put out the flame, destroyed the rhymes

Once we held each others hearts, thought we
always would
Now here we stand crippled inside, lovers
misunderstood
Now here we stand crippled inside, lovers
misunderstood

Much I’d like to tell you, so much I need to say
But all my words are misconstrued, we’ve gone
so far astray
Listen to my pleas, and warm this dreadful freeze Forgive my flaws, a sound appeal
Release the ties and let us heal

Once we held each others hearts, thought we
always would
Now here we stand crippled inside, lovers
misunderstood
Now here we stand crippled inside, lovers
misunderstood

For all the hurt we both have known, for all the
pain we felt
I’d give my life and all I own, if our mistrust
would melt
Inside lies a key, a simple means to see
There was no fault, there is no blame
Cause in the end we’re both the same

Once we held each others hearts, thought we
always would
Now here we stand crippled inside, lovers
misunderstood
Now here we stand crippled inside, lovers
misunderstood
Now here we stand crippled inside, lovers
misunderstood

JEWEL Track 8

Once upon my younger days, I met a man who knew The art of life - the life of art, and taught his
simple view
A solid base he gave to me, his teachings were my fuel Once I met a man who knew, once I met a Jewel

Early years of innocence, the sweetness of my youth Thankful and amazed I was by his uncompromising
truth
But in these times of selfish greed, and sometimes
ridicule
Thank God I met a man who knew, thank God I
met a Jewel

Long ago I remember well, there was a man who saw Life is just a pantomime, a page on which to draw
He gave his life, his heart so full, never played the fool Once I met a man who saw, once I met a Jewel

My friend adored his heroes, Charlie Chaplin’s tramp Idolized Hank Aaron, baseball’s greatest champ
He loved these men for how they lived,
their brilliance made him drool
Once I met a lovely man, once I met a Jewel

As the years have wisped away, I have but
one regret
Why did I never tell my friend, how much his
teachings meant
Since that time I’ve never known, a man
so wise and cool
Luck and fortune came my way,
once I met a Jewel

Now I’ve found my friend again, I’ll tell him what I feel How precious were his teachings, so valued and so real His words deeply touched me, more than any school

Once I met an extraordinary man,
once I met a Jewel
Once I met an extraordinary man,
once I met a Jewel
Once I met an extraordinary man,
once I met a Jewel

Dark Skies Track 9

Overcast, bleak and dreary overcast
Stop the day, relive the past, see what moods
go flying past
Silent time, a room alone, the smell of rain, the
sound of stone

Dark skies light me up and make me high
Winter skies strike a nerve deep inside
Living right is a fine line
Take the time, get the feeling right
Dark skies light me up and make me high

Sweet caress- the love I crave I must confess
A sultry nod, her slow undress, a smiling face
that just says yes
Heaven parts, it opens wide, my heart explodes,
and then subsides

Dark skies light me up and make me high
Winter skies strike a nerve deep inside
Living right is a fine line
Take the time, get the feeling right
Dark skies light me up and make me high

Overcast, bleak and dreary overcast
A mood comes on, a memory flood that knocks me
down back in the mud
My boy comes in, he sees my face, instant love,
instant grace

Dark skies light me up and make me high
Winter skies strike a nerve deep inside
Living right is a fine line
Take the time, get the feeling right
Dark skies light me up and make me high

SAILOR MAN Track 10

Lost in the middle of the sea, the Sailor man
came to me
Praying for a taste of truth, devoured by the search
since youth
Thirty years along the road, till Sailor man
broke the code
A life of desire and fear, disappears in the final frontier

Tossed like a feather in the breeze, shouting my
demands and pleas
Sailor man heard this cry, listen son to my reply
If you really want to know what I see, pierce the
illusion of a me
Time and space never last, there cannot be a future
or a past

The sweetness of this humble man melts your
heart like one can
Points the way, today’s the day
That’s the plan of the Sailor man
And that is why I love this guy,
Sailor Bob the Sailor man

Tried every truth that came along, every damn path
turned wrong
Everywhere a big lofty goal, and no one ever left
feeling whole
But Sailor man knew what was real, just look below
what you feel
Underneath every thought and every sense,
indescribable space immense

The sweetness of this humble man melts your
heart like no one can
Points the way, today’s the day
That’s the plan of the Sailor man
And that is why I love this guy,
Sailor Bob the Sailor man

Just have a look or a peak, we already are
what we seek
Events aren’t ever what they seem, welcome the
imaginary dream

The sweetness of this humble man melts your
heart like no one can
Points the way, today’s the day
That’s the plan of the Sailor man
And that is why I love this guy,
Sailor Bob the Sailor man

EMpty threats Track 11

Looking back at my life, looking back at loves Incidental heartaches, incremental shoves Temperamental friendships, extra special hugs Tenderhearted women, heavy handed thugs

And I don’t mind, that’s the way it goes
And don’t be kind and acting blind cause
everybody knows
I lived my life the best I could, I live with
no regrets
And if I did, the hell with that, they’d just be
empty threats
And if I did, the hell with that, they’d just be
empty threats

Did I live my life the best way, and really live forthright
Am I wrong to even wonder, wrong to think I’m right Scrutinizing old years, looking back so clear
What the hell’s the purpose, why the constant fear

And I don’t mind, that’s the way it goes And don’t be kind and acting blind cause everybody knows
I lived my life the best I could, I live with no
regrets
And if I did, the hell with that, they’d just be
empty threats
And if I did, the hell with that, they’d just be
empty threats

Every time I look back, it always looks the same Troubled hearts and broken dreams, and there
I am to blame
Yet there’s always beauty, sweetness, love and joy Alone with my sweet lover, the smile of my young boy

And I don’t mind, that’s the way it goes
And don’t be kind and acting blind cause
everybody knows
I lived my life the best I could, I live with no
regrets
And if I did, the hell with that, they’d just be
empty threats
And if I did, the hell with that, they’d just be
empty threats

BEATLES Track 12

They played the greatest music throughout
the land
The coolest rockers in the hottest band

Till there was you, there was no ticket to ride
No yesterday, no day in the life
It’s only love dear Prudence, hold me tight
The night before was a hard day’s night

They made me smile, they made me laugh
On the radio dial, on the phonograph

Maggie May, I want to hold your hand
I’m a loser, I’m a nowhere man
Don’t let me down, don’t pass me by
Love me do, Lucy in the sky

They sailed across the ocean and filled the
Hollywood Bowl
Took the world by surprise with Revolver and
Rubber Soul

I’m so tired girl, it’s all too much
I’ve got a feeling, you like me too much
When I get home, we can work it out
The two of us can twist and shout

The thrill was in their lyrics, they had a
way with words
They sang about piggies and about a blackbird

It won’t be long Julia, I feel fine
Eight days a week the word is I me mine
Michelle I’m happy just to dance with you
In my life, that’s all I’ve gotta do

All their music was special, even the silly tracks
All I want to do now is give something back

Good day sunshine, here comes the sun
Run for your life mother nature’s son
Happiness is a warm gun
In the end, all you need is love

They played the greatest music throughout
the land
The coolest rockers in the hottest band

ELISABETH ON FIRE Track 13

At times I feel so hopeless and so tongue tied
Can’t extract a lyric from a swear
Rhyming sucks, the timing’s off and chords collide Disgusted with this whole affair
Then you come along, knock upon my door
Ask me for a song, one we both adore
Open up some wine, put away the blues Now the feeling’s fine, there’s something left to lose

Elisabeth my muse, how do you so inspire
Like a firecracker fuse, you sizzle and you
blast me higher
So here’s the song I sing for you,
Elisabeth on fire
So here’s the song I sing for you,
Elisabeth on fire

You ask me ‘bout the music, how I write a song
You say I seem to have a special Flair
I say its been a crap shoot all along
You stop me and you say “don’t you dare”

Then you play along, now we have a laugh
Then you say my songs will surely find a path
If I could only live inside your point of view
Beside the natural high, the one you never ever lose

Elisabeth my muse, how do you so inspire
Like a firecracker fuse, you sizzle and you blast
me higher
So here’s the song I sing for you,
Elisabeth on fire
So here’s the song I sing for you,
Elisabeth on fire
So here’s the song I sing for you,
Elisabeth on fire

You look into my eyes and you check to see
Am I still in a hopeless mood
Well I’m flying high from the light you bring
I don’t even feel slightly rude

Very special soul, fascinating friend
I don’t even know, do you comprehend
All the love you make, all the joy you give
A wondrous way to cruise, a wondrous way to live

Elisabeth my muse, how do you so inspire
Like a firecracker fuse, you sizzle and you blast
me higher
So here’s the song I sing for you,
Elisabeth on fire
So here’s the song I sing for you,
Elisabeth on fire
