You

(v1)
You, light up my stars at night
You, make everything so right
I don’t know what I’d do
If you ever went away

(v2)
You, lift my spirits high
You can always make me sigh
I pray to God each night
That you’ll always want to stay

CHORUS
If you ever said goodbye
I don’t know what I’d do
There would be nothing left
Of me without you

Instrumental Verse

(v3)
You, are the life of me
You set my spirit free
Without you I’d never be
The woman I’ve become

(v4)
You, you’ll never know how much
You can thrill me with your touch
It’s like magic when we kiss
When our hearts melt into one

Repeat Chorus

You - Remix

Subdued Vocal With Acoustic Trio Backing. Understated




Callin’ Your Bluff
© 2018 Alan D. David, BMI

(v1)
Now listen honey, I don’t need you here no more
Go pack your things, take them with you to the door
I liked my life, exactly as it was before

(v2)
You’ve been sneakin’, baby you been messin’ around
You can’t deny it, cuz the word’s all over town
And while you’re packin’, don’t forget your cheater’s crown

CHORUS
I gave you everything that you ever wanted
But I guess that just ain’t enough
You have a wayward heart, and a need of the evil sort
Such a mean disposition and an attitude that’s off the chart
Goodbye baby, cuz I’m calling your bluff

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

(v3)
Don’t come cryin’, I got no will to dry your tears
If you got no hankie, they probably got one down at Sears
I’m done as your fool, like I was for all those years

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG
Adios baby, I'm callin' your bluff

Complete Surrender – Lyric
©2011 Alan D. David, BMI

(v1)
Burned by love some time ago
It’s hard to let my feelings show
Scars remain from that hurting time
My heart’s afraid to cross the line
But somehow you’ve broken through
Fixed my heart as good as new
But there’s still one thing you need to know

CHORUS
If I fall in love with you and offer you my heart
I hope you always, always will remember
It’s more than just I love you
It’s everything I am, it’s complete surrender

(v2)
A simple lesson I have learned
A partial love gets no return
Give you’re all where love’s concerned
Any less is a heartache earned
Half a love can’t be redeemed
There can be no in between
If I fall in love it’s everything

Complete Surrender

A throwback to the girl singers of the 1960s, such as  Leslie Gore, Dusty Springfield, etc. A fun song that might bring a smile to your face.

Come On Over Here

Come On Over Here

(v1)
I see you looking at me every day
But you never have nothin’ to say
To tell the truth I’ve been hoping you might say hello
Cuz I’ve been sneaking a peek or two
I’ve been watching everything you do
I think you’re a guy I’d really like to get to know

CHORUS

Hey Baby, come on over here
I don’t bit but I might nibble on your ear
Don’t be nervous, don’t be shy
I think it’s time at last we say Hi
Yeah Baby, come on over here
Don’t be afraid, you got nothin’ to fear
‘Cept I might kiss you all over your face
Or maybe even a tight embrace

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

(v2)
Don’t be shy, tell me what you think
And if you want, you can give me a wink
If you can’t tell I like the way you’ve been looking at me
You’re really cute and you’re sexy, too
Somehow I feel you would always be true
Don’t be so timid, go on and set your feelings free

CHORUS

GHOST FROM THE PAST

© 2011 Alan D. David, BMI / Diana Bowers, BMI

VI

SHE WALKS THE DARKENED STREETS AT NIGHT
NEVER IN THE LIGHT OF DAY
GREEN EYES THAT GLOW LIKE A CAT ON THE PROWL
THAT SEEM TO LIGHT HER WAY
SHE FLOATS LIKE A CLOUD UPON THE COBBLESTONES
SURROUNDED IN MYSTERY
NO ONE KNOWS WHO OR WHAT SHE IS
THEY JUST LET HER BE…..

CHORUS

SOME SAY SHE’S A GHOST FROM THE PAST
LOOKING FOR HER LOVER
SHE DIED OF A BROKEN HEART
WHEN HE FOUND ANOTHER….
SO EACH NIGHT SHE SEARCHES
TO FIND HIM ONCE AGAIN
(SHE’S JUST A GHOST FROM THE PAST – LAST CHORUS ONLY)

VII

SHE WALKS THRU THE TOWN IN A WEDDING GOWN
THAT SHE WAS TO WEAR THAT DAY
WITH FLOWERS IN HER HAIR WILTED ON THEIR STEMS
AND DUST ON A FADED BOUQUET
SEARCHING EVERY NIGHT WITH THE MOON FOR HER LIGHT
SHE WAITS FOR DARKNESS AGAIN 
TO WALK THE STREETS LIKE ALWAYS BEFORE 
IN A SEARCH THAT WILL NEVER END.

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

Maybe Next Time

A smooth Jazz instrumental somewhat similar to Paul Brown's style.

Strong hints of Latin. A medium tempo instrumental crossing several musical boundaries.
