Nobody But You 

(v1)
You’re the only one who can make me feel this way
The only one I ever wanted to stay
Others have tried but they don’t compare
I shouldn’t judge ‘em cuz it just ain’t fair
They never turned me on the way that you do

CHORUS
Nobody but you, can make me feel the way that you do
The way you kiss me Baby, and look into my eyes
And, when you hold me in your arms, that’s when I realize
I don’t wanna love nobody but you

INSTRUMENTAL TURN-A-ROUND

(v2
 There ain’t nobody else has ever touched my soul
You got inside my head, then my heart you stole
I thought that I’d been in love before
But you’re the one I was waiting for
From now on there’s nobody but you

CHORU
 Nobody but you, can make me feel the way that you do
The way you kiss me Baby, and look into my eyes
And, when you hold me in your arms, that’s when I realize
I don’t wanna love nobody but you

Nobody But You V2

When The Night Calls


          In the quiet , I reflect and see
          Every moment,  shapes  a   part of me
         Like a phoenix, I’ll rise from  ash
         turning pain into strength  get a piece of that            

         When the night falls...
         I rise,     stronger than  before...
          Each    struggle, I’ll keep wanting more...

         Life's a struggle, days weigh me down
          A heavy burden, I start to drown                  
        Through the storms, I search for light
          From now on   I will stand and fight 

        When the night calls...
        I rise, I swear I'll try...                     
       When the night calls...
         I’ll rise, through every lie... 

        Every heartbeat feels like a war
       A marching rhythm but I'm wanting more
      To lay my weapons down and sleep
      And find a solace I can keep.

      When the night calls...
      I rise, I swear I'll try...    

    In the silence, my strength is found
    A whisper of hope, breaking through the sound
   Though the road is long, I'll pave my way
   With every step, I won't fade away

     When the night falls...
      I rise,     I swear I'll try...
     Again and again, I'll keep reaching high...
   
     In the shadows, scars tell my tale
     Each one a lesson, I won't let them derail
     Through the heartache, I’m building my flame
     Facing the fears, I'll never be the same

     When the night calls...
     I'll rise, I swear I'll try.
     Again and again I'll keep reaching high,

When The Night Calls

I watched the sun go under
From the window of the train
City lights like scattered pearls
Through a fog of silver rain
Your voice on my shoulder
Soft as summer wine
I’m chasing down the distance
And the pictures in my mind
East of Indianapolis
On this twilight line

We dreamed of California
But never left the ground
I’m counting old postcards
From a life that’s coming around
There’s a rhythm in the window
Like the slow turn of time
And a ghost beside my shoulder
That I can’t leave behind
West of Illinois
On this twilight line

The dawn will find another town
And someone else’s sky
But I still see your shadow
Every time I close my eyes
And maybe love’s just distance
Measured over time
Between what was and what remains
On Hollywood and Vine
Going eastbound tonight
On this twilight line
Going eastbound tonight
On this twilight line

Twilight Line

A song about listening to rhythm and harmony in the wild.
The tremolo of the electric piano is for mystery, and the organ is for piety.  The Eb6 is for the ever-present whiskey-tango-foxtrot influence –and to comply with the melody.  Dave Bell is to make the song better.

Sitting On A Rock

In Eternity (2024-2025)

If there's all the time in eternity
I'll smooth my jaggedness and learn
from my past while I yearn
to be ready when you return.
If I am cursed, I repeat my mistakes
and you haven't changed, still causing me ache
we promise each other a brighter start
and keep on dreaming when we drift apart.

In eternity, is there longing for love,
diary dreams, elusive fantasies
questions who's meant for me, eternally?

What if there's no time in eternity
would I live in infinite regret
chances missed, can't forget
heartbreaks woven into a net.
if I am blessed, we will hover in love 
and you'll always be my peaceloving dove
in eternal embraces and endless fun
would they be just for the chosen ones?

In eternity, is there longing for love,
diary dreams, elusive fantasies
questions who's meant for me, eternally?

The beauty of chance encounters
and the falling for casual gestures
are they solace I crave
or wounds abyss can't erase?
in eternity, in eternity.

In Eternity

A best friend, a co-composer, an excellent guitarist BobH has passed and now is playing in God's heaven. I tried to emulate the sorrow and at times frustration this sad event has caused for friends and family.

[A1]
Give me happy
Give me hope
Then I can keep walking on life’s lumpy road
With a smile on my face
And a heart full of grace
I can shoulder the burden of life’s heavy load

[A2]
Give me happy
Give me hope
They’re the power that strengthens me day after day
Whatever arises 
Whatever surprises 
With happiness and hope, I can live, love and play

[B]
And if tomorrow gets dreary
If ever it’s dismal or bleak
Then I sing songs that are cheery
And I pick up my feet and stride on

[A3]
So give me happy
Give me hope
And I can conquer any chaos that gets in my way
Good times come and go
And luck’s a friend and a foe
But if I’m happy and hopeful
Every day is much better than okay

[Instrumental]

Repeat [B] & [A3]

[Tag]
Mmmm mmm, give me happy

NO TURNAROUND 
Intro 

Verse 1

I always wanted to be your safe full of treasures 

But you never tried to learn my combination

The numbers on that dial were oh so simple 

Why didn’t  you find trying it a sweet temptation?

	Chorus

	So I’m gonna travel a single lane for a while

	Leaving’s all that matters not where I’m bound

	Don’t wanna roundabout just need a straight line 

	No side roads and damn sure no turnaround

Verse 2

The credits are rolling ‘n there’s no backing up

My Mama told me hearts are made to be broken

They’re  all going to leave you sooner or later

Maybe that’s why you left so many words unspoken 

	Repeat Chorus

Solo

Bridge 

You used to tell me what you wanted to be

But wanting to be and being ain’t the same for me

	Repeat Chorus

Outro

No Turnaround

We walked tonight to the Guggenheim Museum
Her hair was blowing like it found its freedom
The city shimmered a restless backdrop
We talked of dreams we had and dreams we’d lost

She touched the glass where the paintings hung
Said, “Look how they capture the light, so young”
I saw a reflection that I couldn’t hold
A moment gone as the wind turned cold

Caught in the glow of a fleeting view
City lights blurred like dreams we outgrew
We’re drifting through moments we can’t reclaim
Like strangers with stories no need for names

Through the spiral halls we drifted slow
Each step we took felt like letting go
She whispered stories I’d never known
Of places she'd seen and the nights alone

Outside the doors the world was wide
Yellow cabs and the Hudson tide
She laughed like a child at the rush of it all
I watched her dance through the city's sprawl

She talked of staying of leaving too
The streets below us were painted blue
With echoes of footsteps and songs unsung
In that fleeting light we were both still young

Caught in the glow of a fleeting view
City lights blurred like dreams we outgrew
We’re drifting through moments we can’t reclaim
Like strangers with stories no need for names
