 Country pop - uptempo song about my new born daughter Amy  - wrote it  a few months after she was born 

Baby you're the One


 A very universal theme about deciding on which way to go in life or in any situation...
 Many of us stand at the ' crossroads' wondering what to do next, what decision to make and / or wheer to go.

 I first recorded this song 2 years ago and this is my latest version - acoustic / melodic and beautiful flute sounds permeating the song.


Crossroads-v4


 The girl has suffered heartache from a previous relationship and is slow 2 start again with someone new - so he implores her to let the past go and give him a chance - " give it up baby"

Give It Up Baby - Master2


 The song outlines a relationship  / marriage gone wrong  - the guy feels empty, and laments  the way it was-  the rest is open to interpretation!

It ain't love we got

1.
Heh Daddy I’m tired, it’s almost time to sleep
Won’t you read me a story, don’t wanna count no sheep
Yeah I know you’re busy– you got things 2 do
But if you read me a story, I’ll fall asleep for you

Chorus?

And sooner or later I’ll be in the land of nod
Walking with Dorothy to see the wizard of Oz
Or flying with Elina and her brand new wings
Daddy I love all of these things

2.
It’s true my little darling, it’s been a long hard day
Your daddy’s kinda tired and now’s no time 2 play
But I’ll read you a story before you go to sleep
So settle down in your bed and tuck in your feet

Chorus:
And sooner or later you’ll be in the land of Nod
Walking with Dorothy to see the Wizard of Oz
Or flying with Peter Pan – fighting Captain Hook
Such wonderful stories coming from your book

Instrumental break!
3.
Rest your head on my pillow and cuddle next to me
And listen to the words – the pictures you can see
While I read the story – you can fall asleep
So close your eyes my sweet child and promise not 2 peep
Chorus:
Or are you Cinderella in a beautiful dress? , dancing with a prince -  my little Princes

1.

This time it’s the last goodbye
No more hurt
And no more cry 
My heart is broken

2.
This time there’s no turning back
There’s No 2nd chance
I won’t take you back
Like I did before


Chorus:
This time I’m serious – There’s nothing left to try
This time it’s serious - It’s the last goodbye


3.
This time, I won’t crack
I’ll be strong
There’s no going back
Like I did before

Chorus + Instrumental

4.

I know it will take some time
The memories
Will fade in time
Like melting snow

Chorus by 2.



Last Goodbye (Live) Brian


 Song all about difficulties of long distance relationships...

One last Time

All the colours - Words n Music by Tony Floyd Kenna

1.
Sometimes I think I ‘m dreaming
And the world outside just doesn’t feel real
Sometimes I feel I ‘m falling
Through the colours of night and the hope of day

And sometimes I wanna wake up
Feel the sun and the light of day
And always hope to see you
And find comfort in the things you say

Chorus:

Of all the colours I could choose from
I’d pick the one that shows me you
Of all the colours I could choose from
I’d pick the one that shows me you

2.

And if I ever think I’m losing
I’ll hold on tight to all I have
To the memories of the good times
To the shimmering light out on the waves

My world is like an ocean
It ebbs and flows and never stays still
And sometimes when it’s stormy
I hold on tight and I always will

Songwriting is a serious hobby and I'd love to have my songs covered by established artists or new artists looking for material in the country / country rock
 genre
