Don't You See!

(verse 1)

my friend, we communicate through letters so clearly

I hold them all so dearly

you're so special to me

but don't you notice, tenderly

my real feelings

hide a deeper meaning?

it was a while back

that I noticed I loved you

I discovered what I lack

love is asking to be loved

then I started to believe in my lonely self

and I want you to love your fine self

(chorus)

don't you see, what we needed all along

was right here in our grasp and it's so strong

don't you see, take a minute out of the day

to decide right here is where you want to always stay

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

before long we will be like an old couple

bickering and then laughing about it while we cuddle

New Year's Day we'll share a kiss

and we won't have to miss being alone

(chorus)

don't you see, a spoonful of happiness

and being together always will dispel sadness

don't you see, you, me, and our memory

always and forever we'll be happy

(end chorus)

(bridge)

(send him my love

love never fades

I know I won't say bye)

don't you see, I'll run away tonight

I'll let my guard down tonight

you know, I do it for you

(chorus)

don't you see, what we needed all along

was right here in our grasp and it's so strong

don't you see, take a minute out of the day

to decide right here is where you want to always stay

(end chorus)

Hold the Sleepless Night

(verse 1)

where do our minds go

when we fall asleep?

is it an instance of deja vu, you think?

or is it something more cheap?

again today just like everyday

the city is alive like a light

it's like this every night

like its holding its breath

it's hard to put into words, is it not?

but I'll try to grab it by the tail

(chorus)

hold the sleepless night so it won't get away

it's mysterious to think that way

magic exists I've seen it in my dreams

it's so full it bursts at the seams

I see it clearly, in my dream mystery

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

when it's hard to sleep

I hope my imagination will keep

the wonder in my heart alive

out there on the street

while I'm driving home

as long as it's night I feel complete

but as soon as my head hits the pillow

that feeling of mellow is what I get into

(chorus)

hold the sleepless night so it won't get away

it's mysterious to think that way

magic exists I've seen it in my dreams

it's so full it bursts at the seams

I see it clearly, in my dream mystery

(end chorus)

(chorus)

hold the sleepless night so it won't get away

it's mysterious to think that way

magic exists I've seen it in my dreams

it's so full it bursts at the seams

I see it clearly, in my dream mystery

(end chorus)

(chorus)

hold the sleepless night so it won't get away

it's mysterious to think that way

magic exists I've seen it in my dreams

it's so full it bursts at the seams

I see it clearly, in my dream mystery

(end chorus)

In Your Dreams

(chorus)

in my dreams, in my feelings

I am there but you are where?

you and I need to meet up here in your dreams

(end chorus)

(verse 1)

sometimes it's nostalgic to confess

feelings of love

but it's also painful when it's unrequited

most words that we share

are empty in meaning

but these next things I'm going to say...

are so important to me

so turn and listen to my plea

you got to know what I got to say

(chorus)

in my dreams, in my feelings

I am there but you are where?

it's always like this with your ever-closed heart

look in my eyes, listen to my words

they might just clear your rainy skies

you and I need to meet up here in your dreams

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

when "like" turned into "love"

I was so distraught

I waited on you

because it goes against what I've been taught

suddenly I began to realize

maybe you are too closed off

hey you, you know, right?

that you deserve it too

the power of love that can make a change

(chorus)

in my dreams, in my feelings

I am there but you are where?

it's always like this with your ever-closed heart

don't be shrewd, don't be lonely

let the miracle set you free

you and me need to hold so tenderly in my dreams

(end chorus)

(chorus)

in my dreams, in my feelings

I am there but you are where?

it's always like this with your ever-closed heart

look in my eyes, listen to my words

they might just clear your rainy skies

you and I need to meet up here in your dreams

(end chorus)

Don't Give Up

(verse 1)

soon before long, my baby

life's going to get harder

happiness and time are ever fleeting

so you got to grab on

but as long as you

know a miracle can occur

when you smile and lean on me

it will be easier

to hold on for the ride

(chorus)

don't ever give up

don't ever stand idly by while injustice occurs in the world daily

you can make a change, you can make a difference

as long as your heart is in the right place

go at your own pace, righteously 

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

stay close to your heroes

while you grow even stronger

after forgetting your own sorrows

we all watched while you rose

love and passion are two essentials

to overcoming sadness and grief

and now after the obstacles

there's nothing in your path

(chorus)

don't ever give up

don't ever stand idly by while defeat zaps your energy

you can make a change, you can make a difference

as long as your heart is in the right place

go at your own pace, bravely

(end chorus)

(bridge)

don't ever give up

don't ever stand idly by while injustice occurs in the world daily

you can make a change, you can make a difference

as long as your heart is in the right place

go at your own pace, righteously 

(chorus)

don't ever give up

don't ever stand idly by while defeat zaps your energy

you can make a change, you can make a difference

as long as your heart is in the right place

go at your own pace, bravely

(end chorus)

High Heel, New Step

(verse 1)

she saw the summer go by in a wink after a rain shower

that boy left her with nothing

so she went back to her hometown with memories that winter

on money, on some tips she got from club singing

even now that she's warmer in this space

she can't help but remember that place

that time, that day when he broke her gold heart

she prayed to God to rip her clear apart

(chorus)

high heels with a new step

she's picking up where he left off

together they had the world but now there's zero

it was so nostalgic, it was rustic

how she felt in his arms

it's over and she needs to be her own hero

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

moving on was awkward at first

she scraped up enough to buy a home

then she vowed if he tried to walk through her new door

she would put her armor on and fight once more

(chorus)

memories covered in rose thorns

she tried to smell the flower and got pricked

hard to believe her heart was once full

white t-shirts, blue jeans

she grabs her denim jacket and heads out

into the world she discovered was brutal

(end chorus)

(chorus)

he should see her, in this new element

he wouldn't recognize this grown woman

the wounds healed and left no scars at all

white t-shirts, blue jeans

she grabs her denim jacket and heads out

into the world she discovered was brutal

(end chorus)

(verse 3)

high heels with a new step

she's picking up after the last dance

one more time she'll find her next chance

My Friend

(verse 1)

you do not need to worry about a thing

your heart is soaring on clouds

always drifting on beautiful blue seas

please hurry to my side

history has had it that we

have a lot of fun

when it's you and me

it's a mystery

perhaps it was uncanny

or maybe it was just meant to be

two people from two different background

became so friendly

and lift each other up on highs

but in the lows, we will part the seas to be happy

(chorus)

and always keep on smiling no matter what

you don't have to worry about that

because you're my friend

and any trouble that comes your way

by your side I will stay

so you won't fight alone anymore

that's what friends are for

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

really imagine a land

where loneliness is no more and

wherever you go, I go too

wishes are for believing

and you can believe in me

no more frowns, there's no time for that

even if in a daydream

you feel like you might cry

all you have to do is call and I will try

(chorus)

and always keep smiling and think happy thoughts

and even through all of the droughts

you'll persevere, my friend

be weak until you can grow stronger

and happiness will last longer

run towards it today

(end chorus)

(chorus)

you do not need to worry about a thing

your heart is soaring on clouds

always drifting on beautiful blue seas

please hurry to my side

please hurry to my side

(end chorus)

You're Not Here

(chorus)

you're not here anymore

my heart is in the crystal clear

now I, won't shed a tear

(end chorus)

(verse 1)

"hold onto the people you hold dear"

they used to tell me

now that I know when to let go, I will fall in love

with someone that will treat me right

and with this new sight

you can go on about your lonely way

saying goodbye is never as easy as just speaking words

but just to spite you with some spice baby, I'll make it hard

(chorus)

you're not here anymore

I've never been so careless and happy

now I, can be free

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

you keep trying to contact me and I fully ignore

no, you had your chance and you let it go out the door

happiness all depends on me

I've learned that over the years

now I won't get hurt anymore

and when the weekend comes

I'll go on a date with a guy who won't be late

and he'll actually like me

(chorus)

you're not here anymore

my heart is in the crystal clear

now I, won't shed a tear

hey baby, come on

don't be like that and put up a fight

it's a waste and unsexy

so I tell you finally, goodbye

(end chorus)

(chorus)

you're not here anymore

my heart is in the crystal clear

now I, won't shed a tear

hey baby, come on

don't be like that and put up a fight

it's a waste and unsexy

so I tell you finally, goodbye

(end chorus)

Let the Rain Fall

(verse 1)

it's really coming down out there

I watch from my window

March thundered in like a lion

hurry, my weather aficionado

get out of the downpour

warm up with me, however

nothing is the same as it was before

you're feeling differently, aren't you?

the timing is all wrong

we got to end it here

before the sky becomes clear

(chorus)

let the rain fall like these emotions on the floor

we don't want it to be like it was before

let the rain fall and wash away these sins

we really want to feel clean once more

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

a quick rinse of the soul

is good for me

it's hard to believe

I said I love you

is it rain or is it tears?

streaming down my cheeks

time stopped the rain briefly

if I had a soulmate

I would want it to be you

because we know when to cut it off

everything will be all good

(chorus)

let the rain fall and nourish all these woes

so they will grow into pretty flowers

let the rain fall and then we will know

our memories make doubts seem stronger

(end chorus)

(bridge)

let the rain fall like these emotions on the floor

we don't want it to be like it was before

(chorus)

let the rain fall and wash away these sins

we really want to feel clean once more

let the rain fall and nourish all these woes

so they will grow into pretty flowers

let the rain fall and then we will know

our memories make doubts seem stronger

(end chorus)

My Baby Is Grand

(verse 1)

falling in love is so strange

for me it started when I kissed you

the hope I felt inside made my soul feel brand new

and sadness left me

before long, my baby

we'll be living life

like we always envisioned

it's only a matter of time

(chorus)

my baby is grand

from head to toe

my baby loves me so

his eyes are like diamonds

that look through me to the person I want to be

we'll finally be happy

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

so many men came along

but you were the one for me

you whisked me away

and stole my heart

I've never been happier

(chorus)

my baby is grand

let me tell you

he loves me unconditionally

and I'm so lucky

just to be by his side

forever, my baby's grand

(end chorus)

(chorus)

my baby is grand

from head to toe

my baby loves me so

his eyes are like diamonds

that look through me to the person I want to be

we'll finally be happy

(end chorus)

(chorus)

my baby is grand

let me tell you

he loves me unconditionally

and I'm so lucky

just to be by his side

forever, I'm not alone

(end chorus)

Today Is Another Day

(verse 1)

take my bike out for a ride by the seaside

you hurt me for the last time that day

maybe I should move on

but it's so hard to try

perhaps living good isn't meant for me

(chorus)

deep in my heart I realize

that sadness is a fact of life

that I can't deny

but I gotta embrace someday

today is another day

the sun rains in on my bed

and even so I can't find a reason to smile

I'll try again tomorrow

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

maybe the universe just wants me to be a door mat

maybe I should plunge myself into something new

I don't want to live like that

and never smile again

but maybe just once more

I'll try to find the good

(chorus)

deep in my heart I know

sadness will find me

sooner or later, I gotta be a runner

and be a loner

but until that day

I'll grasp at what I got left

and I look around this room

I'll find it tomorrow

(end chorus)

(chorus)

deep in my heart I realize

that sadness is a fact of life

that I can't deny

but I gotta embrace someday

today is another day

the sun rains in on my bed

and even so I can't find a reason to smile

I'll try again tomorrow

today is another day

(end chorus)
