Lyrics:
                                            
I’m sitting in the lonely bar just staring down a drink...
Wondering just how low my life can sink.

I was a better man with you, 
Oh a better man with you. 


And even through these hazy eyes it’s not too hard to see…
I’m lonely as a man could ever be.

I was a better man with you, 
Oh a better man with you. 


And even as I try to hide I’m haunted by the past…
Wondering just how long the pain will last. 
	
I was a better man with you, 
Oh a better man with you. 


Hey Mr. bartender just pass the bottle please…
I’m hoping it will bring me what I need.

I was a better man with you, 
Oh a better man with you. 

Ending:
I say hey Mr. bartender just pass the bottle please…
I’m hoping it will bring me what I need.

I was a better man with you….
Oh a better man with you…. 
Yes a better man with you…..
I was a better man with you.

"In The Mountains" Lyrics:

I wake up early in the mountains...
First light shines across the lake
The early morning fog is lifting...
The peace is there for me to take

I watch the old boats as they glide by...
Men with peace upon their face
They're not thinking 'bout the old days...
Must be the magic in this place

I watch the children play beside me...
Building castles in the sand
You can feel the joy among them...
Part of the wonder of this land

In the evening when the Sun's down...
A million stars up in the sky
I can only look with wonder...
I even feel a little high

I woke up early in the mountains...
First light shone across the lake
The early morning fog had lifted...
The peace was there for me to take

Lyrics:
I don’t know what you’re feeling...
I can’t know your pain
I don’t have the right words...
I can’t ease your rains

And I’ll always be by your side
I’ll never leave you behind

II.
I did not live your past...
I don’t know why the haunting lasts
But when those clouds come rolli’n in...
We’ll go through them thick or thin

And I’ll always be by your side
I’ll never leave you behind
I’ll always be by your side
I’ll never leave you behind

music & backing vocals- http://soundcloud.com/nj-apostol

Heavenly Father
I'm down on my knees
I'm asking forgiveness
For all the things that I've done

For all of the heartaches
And all of the shame
For all of the sorrow
And unwanted pain that I've given you (hmm)


Stir my heart ( Heavenly Father) to remember your name
(Heavenly father) Seek for your words, your mercy & grace
Never let go (never let me stray away)
Did you hear my pray, that I've given you 
Heavenly Father ( will you hear my pray)

Stir my heart- gnetsound original & nj apostol (version 3)now with lyrics

"To This Day" lyrics:
When I told you I needed my space...
It would lead to my loneliest place
I watched you cry as you begged me to stay...
How I left I'll never understand

To this day
 
When I told you I needed some time...
It would lead to my darkest of times
I had changed and I pushed you away...
It's a time I regret

To this day
 
I still miss that look in your eyes...
And the places they took us at times
I feel you deep in my soul every day...
How I wish I could have ya back

To this day

Welcome to my SoundCloud page! Please click on the "Tracks" link to hear all of my music. I really appreciate it when anyone enjoys my music. Listen, download, like, share, enjoy! 

Note: While I allow most of my music to be downloaded for free, all proceeds from music sales are donated to various charities. 

About me: 
I was born and raised on Long Island, NY. I'm a singer-songwriter as I enjoy writing my own songs most. I play acoustic guitar and the harmonica. My style of music is Contemporary Folk and Singer-Songwriter. The decade of music that most influenced my music taste is the 70's. Most influenced by Neil Young.  

I like to write songs from the heart. I want to express how I feel about past experiences, about current events, and just about anything else that really moves me in some meaningful way.  I hope that you "feel" what my songs are about too when you listen to them. 

Note: 
There is so much great music by so many folks on SoundCloud I have yet to find a good way of listening to everyone's music with the little time I have to do it in. So, I REALLY appreciate it when anyone listens to any of mine! … I am sure your life is busy too. Thanks again!
