Amazing and beautiful.  Lyrics grand. Piano and vocals wonderful!!

Looking at you
Looking at me
Two mirrors reflecting mine
Smiling at you
Smiling at me
The edges of my life define

My life was in color
Now the details I can see
And I knew what love was
But it never felt so deep
Looking at you I see
The very best of me

Laughing at you
Laughing at me
Two notes in harmony
Crying with you
Crying with me
Makes my sorrow taste so sweet

My life was in color
Now the details I can see
And I knew what love was
But it never felt so deep
Looking at you I see
The very best of me

Feeling your little head on my shoulder 
Holding your little heartbeat a little closer
How could I know as you grow a little older
This is a love I won't get over

Growing with you
Growing past me
Taking steps I feared to take
Hoping that you
Never lose hope, dear
This world is yours to make

My life was in color
Now the details I can see
And I knew what love was
But I never felt so deep
Looking at you I see
The very best of me

The Very Best Of Me

THE RAILWAY SONG

I wrote this in January 2005, and have performed it solo many times but it took a while to get it recorded.

Each verse (and the bridge) is a scene from the Ithaca, NY area.

Lyrics:

a flash of gold
a flash of green
a flash of something old you
thought you never should've seen
a flash of alabaster
a flash of white, and after that
a flash of insight into
something gray you'd thought was unclean

rolling down the hillside,
tired and in no gear
the city lights below you,
up ahead a deer just crossed the road
 
you missed the sign,
but it occurs to you that
you are here.
 
you bought your ticket,
you paid the price:
you made your way here
slogging through the snow and ice
the sound and motion
wake you from sleep, mm
but it's the silence
that pulls you in deep.
 
come and dance with me,
i'm sitting very still
come sing your passion to the rooftops
and in the mumbled echo you might hear your name
 
there's only one way
to find out whether
you are here.
 
circling to land
the end of the line
no connecting flights
there's only one way to travel,
and that's forward in time.
 
i had a vision,
it went like this:
a quiet sunbeam
and a forest kiss
it led me forward, but
now it's so far away
and when I glimpse it, it
only leads to yesterday
 
how can i run in darkness, flying into fear?
but if i listen close and stay standing here,
will it come to me?
 
it all comes to this,
and this is you,
and you are here.

Unstoppable

Winter Song

[Verse 1]
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
Or tell you that
But if I didn't say it, well, I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

[Chorus]
But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

[Verse 2]
I know I left too much mess and destruction
To come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
Then I'm sure that that makes sense

[Chorus]
But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

"Exploration"
music&lyrics: Bergman

saw you there
on your own
saw you there
all alone
walked up to you
l looked  away
oh all the things i wanted to say
pre-raphaelites
opening night
a bit of blow
outside the snow
baby we were falling then
kissed your lips in appreciation
you stopped my hands in exploration
oh i got a kick out of you
this thing with me and you…
it's hard to tell
we let the music speak
speak for itself
you warm me up like no one else
talk about
the luck i had  
you came my way 
we did ok
and then with a kiss
you were gone
and me ending up
with another LOVE SONG
oh i got a kick out of you
you lips against mine
it's hard to second-guess 
we'll be fine 
oh i got a kick out of you
this thing with you and me
can't you see?
you warm me up like no one else 
kissed your lips in appreciation
you stopped my hands in exploration
