Shadow Angel

My beautiful shadow angel

Protectively silent, ever faithful

Always by my side

Tucked away inside

Permanently linked

Perfectly synched

As close as a shadow can be

My angel is part of me

Just within reach

My shadow angel

 

My brilliant shadow angel

Magnetic, transparent, ever graceful

Like we’re sewn together

Light as a feather

Permanently linked

Perfectly synched

As close as a shadow can be

My angel is part of me

Just within reach

My shadow angel

 

My dazzling shadow angel

Absence of light, Ever grateful

Unison aligned

Stride for stride

Permanently linked

Perfectly synched

As close as a shadow can be

My angel is part of me

Just within reach

My shadow angel, angel

 


This Must Be Love

What is this feeling bursting inside?

As I knock on your door and it opens wide

My heart and brain are about to collide

I can’t decide if I should run or hide

Just look at me now, I’m petrified

Trying to act more posh and dignified!

 

This must be love

I always hoped someday it would come true

This must be love

Do you, do you, do you feel the way I do?

 

All the poets were right about this

It all begins with a kiss

Now I’m three feet off the ground

Don’t plan on ever coming down

 

This must be love

I always hoped someday it would come true

This must be love

Do you, do you, do you feel the way I do?

 

Timber, I’m falling so fast

Timber, watch out - I’m bound to crash

 

This must be love

I always hoped someday it would come true

This must be love

Do you, do you, do you feel the way I do?

 

Let there be no confusion

I’ve come to the conclusion

I’m certifiably head over heels

 

This must be love

I always hoped someday it would come true

This must be love

Do you feel the way I do?

Do you feel it?


Will I Ever Get to See You Again

Featuring Nick Hitchens on lead vocal


Will I ever get to see you again?

Will I get a second chance?

Could I wait until then?

I look for reassurance

That I will see you again

 

I fear the truth

I feel the pain

Nothing I can do

To stop this rain

from running down my face

Unbearable sadness

Desperately alone

Drowning in darkness

Broken hearted, on my own

 

So unfair!

What did we do wrong?

Would it be too much to ask

To have you back where you belong?

 

Will I ever get to see you again?

Will I get a second chance?

Could I wait until then?

I look for reassurance

That I will see you again

 

I fear the truth

I feel the pain

Nothing I can do

To stop this rain

from running down my face

Unbearable sadness

Desperately alone

Drowning in darkness

Broken hearted, on my own

Will I ever get to see you again?

 

 


Cotton Candy Mama

Well I'ma goin' down to my favorite soda shop

They got this pretty little thing and I like her a lot

She’s sassy and she’s magical as a fairytale

She drives me crazy when she flips her ponytail

Can't get enough of that fluffy stuff

 

Slide me over a glass of that sody pop fizz

Shake me, bake me, rock me, squeeze me tight pretty miss

Whip me up some more of your delicious candy

Don’cha know it makes me feel a little bit randy

Can't get enough of that fluffy stuff

 

Cotton Candy Mama

Bring some home to Papa

Cotton Candy Woman

Keep your candy comin’

All night long!

 

Instrumental

 

So pink, so soft, so fluffy

Makes my lips feel puffy

Tastes like candy, smells like roses

Cotton candy stickin’ to our noses

 

Put my coins on the counter and leave a big tip

All you can eat for twenty-five cent

Baby, baby, baby, you know just what i need

I gotta have your candy, please don’t make me plead

Can't get enough of that fluffy stuff

 

Cotton Candy Mama

Bring some home to Papa

Cotton Candy woman

Keep your candy comin’

All night long!

Keep it comin’

All night long!

 

 


Tears Into Tunes

The songwriter turns Tears into Tunes

Pulls Melody from Misery

The songwriter pulls Poetry from Pain

Turns loss into gain

And all we have to do is sing

 

I write these songs for you and me

A portrait of harmony

A snapshot for eternity

And all we have to do is sing

 

We sing for Joy

We sing for Life

A celebration of Spirit

A declaration of Pride

 

I need to write one more song

for the two of us

It won’t take too long

In music we trust

 

We sing of Hope

We sing of Peace

We sing of a meaningful life

Or an honest one at least

 

The songwriter turns Grief into Grace

Anguish to Anthems

Sorrow to Ballads

Suffering into Hymns

And all we have to do is sing

 

We sing for Friends

We sing for Cheer

We sing for the World

We sing for all the

World to hear

 


Shuffle Boy

Let me show you somethin' that I know you can dig

Talkin’ `bout a cat who got the craziest gig

Dancin’ for the folk down at the neighborhood joint

People came for miles around and that was the point

Everybody needed fun they all could enjoy

So let me introduce you now to Shuffle Boy

 

Shuffle Boy, the real McCoy, watch him glide – go, Shuffle, go!

Shuffle Boy, playboy, slide to the side - slide, Shuffle, slide!

Proper poise is paramount to positive appearance

Watch out, make room, give him a lotta clearance

Shuffle Shuffle, Shuffle Shuffle Boy

 

Demonstration, pay attention, listen up, yo

Exposition, Exhibition, follow the flow

Scintillating, oscillating, calling all Youth

The real deal, the whole truth, & nothing but the truth

So help me Chubby, the real Chubby Checker!

Shuffle Boy’s the new trend setter

 

Shuffle Boy, the real McCoy, watch him glide – go, Shuffle, go!

Shuffle Boy, playboy, slide to the side - slide, Shuffle, slide!

Proper poise is paramount to positive appearance

Watch out, make room, give him a lotta clearance

Shuffle Shuffle, Shuffle Shuffle Boy

 

Dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby doo wah!

Dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby doo wah!

Dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby doo wah!

Dooby Doo wah wah wah!

 

Shuffle Boy, the real McCoy, watch him glide – go, Shuffle, go!

Shuffle Boy, playboy, slide to the side - slide, Shuffle, slide!

Proper poise is paramount to positive appearance

Watch out, make room, give him a lotta clearance

Shuffle Shuffle, Shuffle Shuffle Boy, Shuffle Boy


Don’t Take My Heart

Take my eyes, I don't need `em

Now that you’re gone

Nothing left to see (anyway)

Take my hands, what are they good for?

Now that you’re gone

There's nothing I need to feel

But don't take my memories

They mean more to me

Than all the histories

In the world

Don’t make this hard

Don’t take my heart

 

Take my ears, I don’t need `em

Now that you’re gone

I can’t hear your voice (anymore)

Take my lips, no one else I want to kiss

Now that you’re gone

You were my only choice

But don't take my memories

They mean more to me

Than all the histories

In the world

Don’t make this hard

Don’t take my heart

 

Take my arms and legs

My skin and bones

You can do your worst

With sticks and stones

But don't take my memories

They mean more to me

Than all the histories

In the world

Don’t make this hard

Don’t take my heart

Don’t take my heart

 


Only One Heart (I Miss You)

I miss you

I miss you so much

I stare at your photo all day

Hoping to meet you halfway

I know that you’re up there somewhere

I search for you prayer after prayer

I’ve only one heart to break

 

I miss you

I miss you so much

So much more I wanted to say

I still have some hope there’s a way

Is this just a really bad dream?

Or maybe a nightmare extreme?

I’ve only one heart to break

 

Part of me cried

And part of me died

There must be some terrible mistake

Tragedy magnified

The truth is I’m terrified

I’ve only one heart to break

 

I miss you

I miss you so much

It’s all so insanely tragic

I sure could use some magic

It’s rough being all on my own

So, please won’t you come back home?

I miss you

Take me with you

I really, really do miss you

 


Everything Reminds Me of You

What makes me think of you?

Only everything

How often do I think of you?

From morning 'til morning

 

I may be naive

But I still believe

I’ll see you soon

For everything reminds me of you

 

Sometimes it’s like you never left

In my heart there’s been a terrible theft

Still I love you even more

There’s only you I adore

 

I may be naive

But I still believe

I’ll see you soon

For everything reminds me of you

 

Everything I see, every single day

Reminds me of you in so many ways

All I have are memories

They compose my realities

Solitude is the best I can do

Seems to suit me if I can’t have you

 

I may be naive

But I still believe

I’ll see you soon

For everything reminds me

And nothing makes sense without you


Ferry Cross the Mersey

Life goes on day after day

Hearts torn in every way

So, ferry cross the Mersey

'Cause this land's the place I love

And here I'll stay

 

People they rush everywhere

Each with their own secret care

 

So, ferry cross the Mersey

And always take me there

The place I love

 

People around every corner

They seem to smile and say

We don't care what your name is, boy

We'll never turn you away

 

So I'll continue to say

Here I always will stay

So ferry, cross the Mersey

'Cause this land's the place I love

And here I'll stay

And here I'll stay

Here I'll stay

 

Ferry Cross the Mersey written by Gerry Marsden

No Reply

This happened once before

When I came to your door

No reply

They said it wasn't you

But I saw you peep through your window

 

I saw the light, I saw the light

I know that you saw me

As I looked up to see your face

 

I tried to telephone

They said you were not home

That's a lie

'Cause I know where you've been

I saw you walk in your door

 

I nearly died, I nearly died

'Cause you walked hand in hand

With another man in my place

 

If I were you I'd realize that I

Love you more than any other guy

And I'll forgive the lies that I

Heard before when you gave me no reply

 

I've tried to telephone

They said you were not home

That's a lie

'Cause I know where you've been

I saw you walk in your door

 

I nearly died, I nearly died

'Cause you walked hand in hand

With another man in my place

No reply, no reply

Sakura Cherry Blossoms

(a children's song)

 

Cherry Blossoms, Cherry Blossoms

Cherry Blossom blooms

Sakura Cherry Blossoms

Sing sad Gagaku tunes

By the light of the silver moon

 

What’s pink and white and comes from Japan?

With petals of five, since time began

The flavor is cherry, the fragrance is sweet

They never forget to visit each spring

 

Cherry Blossoms, Cherry Blossoms

Cherry Blossom blooms

Sakura Cherry Blossoms

Sing sad Gagaku tunes

By the light of the silver moon

 

Trees are frosted with pink cotton balls

They dance to Nature’s waltz

And when the gentle winds blow

There’s cherry blossom snow

 

In a world of cherry blossom trees

It only takes one very awesome breeze

A mountain of petals, so fragrant, so light

In a few weeks' time they’ll disappear from sight

 

This beautiful landscape reflected all around

In the tidal basin in the middle of town

Martin, George, Thomas, & Franklin watch

The setting sun melt like butterscotch

 

Cherry Blossoms, Cherry Blossoms

Cherry Blossom blooms

Sakura Cherry Blossoms

Sing sad Gagaku tunes

By the light of the silver moon

By the light of a Sakura moon

 


Secret Sunshine

(a children's song)

 

Every morning my Secret Sunshine

Peeks through the curtains and paints with light

Rise and shine Get dressed Let’s go

Welcome the new day Good bye, Good Night

 

My Secret Sunshine is bright and radiant

Turns every curl of my hair to gold

I bathe my hands and arms in her sunbeam

Slips through my fingers impossible to hold.

 

My Secret Sunshine sails `round the globe

Ev'ry day of the year

But I won’t be sad, she'll soon be back

My Secret Sunshine belongs to me

 

My Sunshine follows me outside to play

She doesn't mind if I share her with friends

We are the best of best friends

Hope this wonderful day never ends

 

Open the backdoor, let in the fun

We want to go out and play in the sun

 

When the sky turns dark and showers rain down

My Sunshine watches through the clouds

Patiently waiting to send us a rainbow

Everything grows when rain hits the grounds

 

My Secret Sunshine sails `round the globe

Ev'ry day of the year

But I won’t be sad, she'll soon be back

My Secret Sunshine belongs to me

Belongs to me!
