THIS RAIN COULD BE MY TEARS
WORDS & MUSIC BRIDGETTE NICOLINI - Copyright 2023

V1:
A STORM IS COMING, THE WIND BURNS MY SKIN
THE EARTH IS HUMMING LIKE A BROKEN VIOLIN
THUNDER CRACKS, AS THE DEVIL CHEERS
AND THIS RAIN COULD BE MY TEARS

V2:
YOU TOOK THE EASY WAY OUT WHEN YOU LEFT
AND LEFT ME BROKEN LIKE A CRUSHED-OUT CIGARETTE
NOW THE SKIES OPEN UP, WHOA, LIKE THEY HAVEN’T IN YEARS
AND THIS RAIN COULD BE MY TEARS

CHORUS:
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
I’M DOWN ON MY KNEES
THERE’S NOWHERE TO FLEE
AND THIS RAIN COULD MY TEARS

V3:
WITHOUT A WARNING MY WORLD CAME UNDONE
THOUGH CLOUDS WERE FORMING RIGHT UNDER THE SUN
BLINDED BY HOPE AND BETRAYED BY MY FEARS
THIS RAIN COULD BE MY TEARS

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
I’M DOWN ON MY KNEES
THERE’S NOWHERE TO FLEE
AND THIS RAIN COULD MY TEARS

This Rain Could Be My Tears

With That Kind of Love
Music & Lyrics ©2018 Bridgette Nicolini
Verse:
I never had a love to satisfy my need to ground yet fly
Someone to tether to, when life’s hard edges cut right through
Someone who thinks I’ve a heart of gold and knows he’s my treasure
Chorus:
With That Kind of Love, oh oh oh, I could stay forever, uh huh
With That Kind of Love, oh oh oh, I could stay forever, uh huh
Verse:
Life’s somewhat like a merry‐go‐round
The ride goes up then down
The carousel spins round and round and round
And sometimes knocks you to the ground
Just as long as we know we’ll get up together
Chorus:
With That Kind of Love, oh oh oh, I could stay forever, uh huh
With That Kind of Love, oh oh oh, I could stay forever, uh huh

If I Knew Then (What I Know Now)
Words & Music ©2018 Bridgette Nicolini
V1:
Bittersweet the fruit we eat, when memories and regrets meet
On a lonely night
Here I am scotch & smoke in hand, twisting thoughts trying to understand
Where I went wrong
And would I do it again somehow
If I Knew Then, What I Know Now

V2:
You were true I always knew, that wasn’t what led me to
Leave you that night
It was youth that caught me, freedom sought me, I didn’t know just what that would cost me
Til I was gone
So would I do it again anyhow?
If I Knew Then, What I Know Now

Bridge
No matter where I go, or what I would do
Or who I hold I always wish it were you.
Cause deep in my soul something still amiss
I long for your touch, I long for your taste, I longed for your kiss.

So maybe my world would be a bit smaller but my heart could be so much fuller
If I Knew Then What I Know Now
If I Knew Then What I Know Now

Everything Up to Now
Music & Lyrics ©2018 Bridgette Nicolini
V1:
Open the window, I'll close the door on the life that was mine before
Breathe in the air, let in the light of this starlit sky tonight
My regrets are few
Cause everything up to now has led me to you

V2:
I'd given up, yes, I lost faith thought it better to be safe
You came along and eased my doubt then turned the whole thing inside out
And changed my point of view
Now everything up to now has led me to you.

Chorus: 
To you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you

Bridge
All of the sad heartbreaks, and all my bad mistakes
They’ve lost to you
And though I can't erase all of what's taken place
I will not dwell upon the things that passed that at last brought me to you.
Chorus:  To you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you

Open the window, I'll close the door on the life that was mine before

Everything  Up To  Now (Has Led Me to You)(ft. Cathy Kreger)

LOVE ME BACK TO WHOLE – WORDS & MUSIC BRIDGETTE NICOLINI

MY KNEES ARE BLEEDING FROM CRAWLIN’ OVER BROKEN GLASS
OH LORD PLEASE WON’T YOU LAY SOME FEATHERS IN MY PATH
I’M TRAVEL’N IN THE DARK WITH NO END IN SIGHT
I NEED ONE BRIGHT STAR TO GET ME THROUGH THIS NIGHT

I WOKE FROM A DREAM SHIVERING
FROM A SCENE WHERE THE SUN WAS ALWAYS SHINING 
THE ROAD WAS SAFE AND LAIDEN WITH GOLD
SUDDENLY I WOKE UP BROKEN AND COLD

SCREAMIN PLEASE SOMEBODY, LOVE ME BACK TO WHOLE
SOMEBODY PLEASE, WILL YOU SOOTHE MY CRIPPLED SOUL
SOMEBODY PLEASE, CAN YOU LET YOU LOVE TAKE HOLD (OF ME)
SOMEBODY PLEASE, LOVE ME BACK TO WHOLE

I REMEMBER WHEN I FELT SO SAFE AND WARM
IN THE LIGHT OF LOVE JUST LIKE A BABE IN HER MAMA’S ARMS
OUT OF NOWHERE LIFE CAME AND KNOCKED THE WIND RIGHT FROM SOUL
NOW MEMORIES ARE WHAT’S LEFT FOR ME TO HOLD

MY HEART’S RIPPED OPEN LIKE A TIGER’S PREY
AND I DON’T’ KNOW IF I CAN MAKE IT THROUGH ANOTHER DAY
MY FAITH KEPT ME GOING BUT NOW I DON’T KNOW
HOW MUCH FARTHER I CAN GO

SOMEBODY, LOVE ME BACK TO WHOLE
SOMEBODY PLEASE, WILL YOU SOOTHE MY CRIPPLED SOUL
SOMEBODY PLEASE, CAN YOU LET YOU LOVE TAKE HOLD (OF ME)
SOMEBODY PLEASE, LOVE ME BACK TO WHOLE

GOOD DAY FOR LOVIN YOU
WORDS & MUSIC BY BRIDGETTE NICOLINI & CHRISTOPHER J0NES

IT'S A LAZY DAY IN SLEEPTOWN, EVEN THE DOGS PLAY LAYING DOWN
I DON'T CARE TO DO A THING, 'CEPT SIT AND ROCK IN THIS BIG OLD SWING

NOT A DAY FOR WORKING HARD NOT EVEN TO REACH FOR THE STARS
NOT A GOOD DAY FOR PUSHING THROUGH
BUT IT'S GOOD DAY FOR LOVIN
A GOOD DAY FOR LOVIN YOU

THE SKY IS CLEAR BLUE AND BRIGHT, PATIENTLY WAITING FOR ITS’ STARS TONIGHT
THE CLOUDS FLOAT BY US ONE BY ONE, CAREFUL NOT TO BLOCK THE SUN

THE AIR IS BREATHING/FILLED WITH LOVE AND AND THAT IS QUITE ENOUGH
NO NEED TO OVERDO
BUT IT'S GOOD DAY FOR LOVIN
A GOOD DAY FOR LOVIN YOU

TELL ME ALL YOUR DREAMS, THE INS AND OUTS AND IN BETWEENS
ALL OF IT, MY DEAR, I’LL DO MY BEST TO MEET YOU THERE

I FEEL CONTENT JUST TO BE SITTING HERE WITH YOU SILENTLY

AND IF YOU ARE TRULY MINE, CAUSE I AM SURELY YOURS
THERE’S NOT MUCH ELSE TO DO

BUT IT'S GOOD DAY FOR LOVIN
A GOOD DAY FOR LOVIN YOU
