"Should've Never Let You Go"

"Should've Never Let You Go"



When you walk into a room
Your beauty steals my breath away

When you look into my eyes
I find it hard to find the words to say

Wanna run away and hide
I just got to let you know
Feel so tangled up inside
I should have never let you go

(should have never let her go)

Anyone can make mistakes
And we both have made our share

But a life without your love
Is a life too hard to bear

I don't care who's right or wrong
Only know I love you so

Why did I have to write this song
I should have never let you go

Why in all the wide, wide world
Have I run into you here
Wish I could disappear

I'll never understand

I'll never understand

Why I even give a damn

When you walk into a room
You know I stand on shaky ground

I've built so many walls around me
Now the walls are tumbling down

You're the kind I can't forget

Let the tears begin to flow

I have only one regret
I should have never let you.....go
Should have never let you go

Should have never let you go

Should have never let you go

Should have never let you go

"Silent Movies"

"Silent Movies"



Funny flashing faces
Flicker on the screen
Images of yesterday from 1917
Keystone days of laughter
A world caught in its prime
The apple of
The camera's eye
Those little clicks of time

Here comes Charlie
Buster and Fatty, too
Laurel and Hardy
Hello, how are you?

I can't hear your voices
But it's clear to me
You prove that there was once a time
When life was trouble free
World you're ever changing
Stop and count to ten
Remember all
The happy days
And smile again

World you're ever changing
Stop and count to ten
Remember all
The happy days
And smile again

"Sing Me"

"Sing Me"



I'm a song and I've waited so long
For someone to come and sing me
I got a rhyme that I've had for some time
Nobody wants to sing me
Let me show, the world, that I'm, not through
Let me touch, your heart, the way I used to do
Sing me, sing me, now I got a song to be sung
Sing me, sing me, roll me around on your tongue
I got sunshine, I got a message to shout
Sing me, sing me, won't someone please let me out
Could I make you smile if I came back in style?
Tell me would you want to sing me?
Don't say I'm gone, never more to live on
Somebody's got to sing me
Let me fill , the air, with my, old song
If I let, you down, tell me where did I go wrong
Sing me, sing me, I got a song to be sung (yes I do)
Sing me, sing me, roll me around on your tongue
I got sunshine, I got a message to shout
Sing me, sing me, won't someone please let me out
I got music, I will share
I got music, now somebody cares, cares

"Smile"

"Smile"
(originally by Nat King Cole)



Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

"Solitaire"

"Solitaire"


There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love, thru his indifference
A heart that cared that went unshared
Until it died within his silence

And solitaire is the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again

And keeping to himself, he plays the game
Without the love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

A little hope goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
There was a man, a lonely man
Who would command the hand he's playing

And solitaire is the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again

And keeping to himself, he plays the game
Without a love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

And solitaire is the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

"Stairway To Heaven"

"Stairway To Heaven"



Climb up
Way up high
Climb up
Way up high
Climb up
Way up high

Well-a, well-a, well-a, heavenly angel
I want you for my girl
When I kissed your sweet, sweet lips
I knew that you were out of this world

I'll build a stairway to heaven
I'll climb to the highest star
I'll build a stairway to heaven
Cause heaven is where you are

Well-a, well-a, well-a, over the rainbow
That's where I'm gonna climb
Way up high where the bluebirds fly
I'm gonna love you all of the time

I'll build a stairway to heaven
I'll climb to the highest star
I'll build a stairway to heaven
Cause heaven is where you are

I'll build a stairway to heaven
I'll climb to the highest star
I'll build a stairway to heaven
Cause heaven is where you are

Well-a, well-a, well-a, I gotta be going
Gonna leave the world behind
Every day in a heavenly way
You're gonna drive me outta my mind

I'll build a stairway to heaven
I'll climb to the highest star
I'll build a stairway to heaven
Cause heaven is where you are

I'll build a stairway to heaven
Cause heaven is where you are

Climb up
Way up high
Climb up
Way up high
Climb up
Way up high
Climb up
Way up high

"Standing On The Inside"

"Standing On The Inside"



Standin' on the outside
Lookin' in
You know it's been a long time
Don't know where to begin
So much I wanna say-ay
So much I wanna do-oo
Friends are tellin' me,
It's time that you broke through

I've been through the hard times,
Of searchin' soul
You know it's been a hard climb,
From rock'n'roll
Now I feel a need in me,
So har-ard to explai-ai-ai-ain
Now I've seen the joy of light
And I wanna remai-ai-ain

Standing on the insi-ide,
I finally broke that line
Ring around the circle-le,
Don't you know that it feels so fi-i-ine
Every waking moment I just wanna sing the new-ews
That I'm standin' on the inside,
Kicked away them blues

All the phoney fa-aces,
Stand in line
All the backsla-appers
Know my name this time
Now that I've turned the lo-ock
Now that I've opened the door-oor
I won't be on the outside,
No, anymore-ore-ore-ore

Standing on the insi-ide,
I finally broke that line
Ring around the circle-le,
Don't you know that it feels so fine
Every waking moment
I just wanna sing the new-ews
That I'm standin' on the inside,
Pushed away them blues

Now that I've turned the lock
Now that I've opened the door-oor-oor-oor
I won't be on the outside,
No, anymore

Standing on the insi-ide,
I finally broke that line
Ring around the circle-le,
Don't you know that it feels so fine
Every waking moment
I just wanna sing the new-ews
That I'm standin' on the inside,
I kicked away them blues

Standin' on the inside (standing on the inside)
Standin' on the i-insi-ide (standing on the inside)
I kicked, I kicked, I kicked, I kicked (standing on the inside)
Sta-andin' on the inside (standin' ...)

"Star-Crossed Lovers"

"Star-Crossed Lovers"



Father, dear father, I come to confession
Hoping to find peace of mind.
Father, I've fallen in love with an angel
But she's not one of our kind.

If it's a sin to want her and need her,
This is what I'm guilty of.
She won't believe in the things we believe in,
But she believes in my love.

Star crossed lovers,
Is there a place for us in this world?

Father, dear father, I can't live without her,
Is it your wish we must part?
Would you refuse to give me your blessing
If I should follow my heart?

Father, please tell me, are we so different
And is our love so unwise?
We both believe there is one God in heaven,
But we see him through different eyes.

Star crossed lovers,
Is there a place for us in this world?

Star crossed lovers,
Is there a place for us in this world?

"Stephen"

"Stephen"



Stephen, have we travelled down this road together?
Tell me, Stephen are we part of one another?
The lonely river winds and bends,
I've been here waiting where the river ends
Waiting for you, a long time.

Stephen, let me sing your song
I know you held it for so long,
I'll sing and play for you
So you can touch the world again.
I'll be your voice, I'll be your hands,
Come touch the world again.

Softly, I can feel your magic in my fingers.
Sweetly, I can hear the echo that still lingers.
I know you've come a long long way,
And if there's something that you've got to say,
Why can't we tell them, together.

Stephen, let me sing your song
I know you held it for so long,
I'll sing and play for you
So you can touch the world again.
I'll be your voice, I'll be your hands,
Come touch the world again.

Stephen, let me sing your song
I know you held it for so long,
I'll sing and play for you
So you can touch the world again.
I'll be your voice, I'll be your hands,
Come touch the world again

"Steppin' Out"

"Steppin' Out"



You go where you want do what you please
Never let on, not even once, that you've ever been lonely
It's nice to see you alone
Are you looking for something maybe you ain't gettin' at home

Your hair is in place dressing to kill
Your old man has said that when he dies he will leave you his money
And the pool where you swim
Are you looking for something maybe you ain't gettin' from him

Steppin' out, steppin' out, to get a little action on the side
Steppin' out, steppin' out, the day time queen takes a midnight ride
And it's plain as plain could be, you're a woman who wants to be free
So if you're steppin' out tonight honey, come on and step out with me

The party's a bore, it's bound to get worse
Let's slip out somewhere and engage in our own celebration
Let me pour you some wine
Are you thinking maybe baby your needs are the same as mine

Let's go for a walk, go for a ride,
Or maybe just stand here and think what we can do to eachother
No we don't have to dance
If you're thinking of stepping out, honey this is your chance

Steppin' out, steppin' out, to get a little action on the side
Steppin' out, steppin' out, the day time queen takes a midnight ride
And it's plain as plain could be, you're a woman who wants to be free
So if you're steppin' out tonight honey, come on and step out with me

Steppin' out, steppin' out, to get a little action on the side
Steppin' out, steppin' out, the day time queen takes a midnight ride
And it's plain as plain could be, you're a woman who wants to be free
So if you're steppin' out tonight honey, come on and step out with me
