Before You was written for the Luther Vandross, James Ingram, Al Jarreau, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey style of R&B / Adult Contemporary.  Original analog recording got damaged but am currently in process of recreating!

Here are the lyrics:
Before You

Verse I
So many times before
What I thought was love was nothing more
Than false romance and circumstance
Lovin’ was a lying truth

Verse II
I used to think that love was blind
But the more I looked the more I’d find
Their kiss was cold, an icy road
Leading me straight to you

Chorus
Before You
I never knew what a kiss could mean
Before You
Love was such a mystery
Before You
I stand and thank the heavens above
Before You
I never knew what true love was
Before You

Verse III
Now that I know what love can be
I want to show the world so all can see
That faithfully our love will be
Now and forever more

Chorus

Before You

This is a R&B Ballad in the Luther Vandross, Brian McNight, James Ingram, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey genre.  This is the song that was a finalist for VH1’s Song of the Year competition.  Original analog recording got damaged but am currently in process of recreating!

Here are the lyrics:
In My Heart

Verse I
Sometimes I wake up
And feel you by my side
Your outline in the moonlight
Fills my heart with pride

Verse II
I knew that someday
Our souls were soon to meet
One heart needs another
To feel like it’s complete

PreChorus
I feel your love so deep
As I lay back down to sleep
And I know you’re mine to keep
In my Heart

Chorus
I knew in my heart
This love was made for the two of us
Alone or apart
It could never be lost
So come what may
The sun or rain
I’ll always know where you are
Forever, together
In My Heart

Verse III
In silence, I’ve watched you
Across a crowded room
That presence you possess is
Among the chosen few

PreChorus
Chorus

80's style rock song. 
Here are the lyrics:

Runaway
Verse I
You can feel the time is right
Think the stars will guide your way
‘Cause you’re feeling trapped, feeling wrapped up
In a world made of yesterdays

Verse II
But street lights soon replace the stars
To show a world that you’ve never seen
You’ll be all alone and far from home
Now it’s the streets that you must obey

Chorus
When you are a Runaway
Runnin’ from bad to worse
Don’t you Run Away
You’re moving forward in reverse
Run Away
Play hide ‘n’ seek
But don’t you Run Away
Don’t you run away from me
My little Runaway

Verse III
You can put your fears to rest
Better days are still to come
Please believe you don’t have to leave
To feel our love’s a special one

Chorus

Runaway

80's style rock / hard rock song.
Here are the lyrics:
Eternity

Verse I
What could there be there for me?
What kind of place would I see?
Will I ever get that far?
How long does it take to make,
Make it to Eternity?

Verse II
Would I be united with you?
Would I have a new point of view?
Would I learn of where you are?
You were of the few I knew
I knew who could see me through

Chorus
You are
What no one else could ever, ever be to me
You know
That secret place that solely holds the key
You see
What will lead me, lead me to victory
I’ll be
On that path, heading towards
Eternity

Verse III
Can’t bring you back, that I know
But what sort of debt would I owe
If I ever got to see
How long it would take to make
Make it to Eternity?

Chorus

Eternity

Upbeat 12 bar blues song I wrote for my wife who loves Blues music!   I’m currently working on re-writing the verses a bit and a total rewrite of the bridge section so stay tuned (pun definitely intended-LOL)

No Blues In You

Berklee College of Music trained Songwriter/Composer & VH1 Song of the Year finalists. I'm a multi-instrumentalist (guitar, bass, keyboards and drums) but was cursed with only a so-so singing voice - so I am always on the hunt to find great singers to sing lead vocals.    Message me if that’s you and you’d be interested in working together!

I’m grateful that my song "In My Heart" was recognized as a Top 5 Finalist for VH1's Song of the Year contest in July 2004.

Besides Songwriting, I also enjoy writing Stems, Jingles, Film Scoring and Instrumentals, etc..   I’ve written for N2N Productions and APAC's video magazine.

I was the bassist for a popular rock cover band called "Come Closer" in St. Louis  for over 7 years before moving to California.   The band was well known for their creative song mashes and could be found playing regularly at the Heartbreakers Rock and Roll Saloon in the downtown St. Louis’ LaClede’s Landing and other popular hotspots throughout the city.
