Rock song influenced by the sounds of classical Spanish guitar.  Santana-ish sound.  

Those Eyes

Upbeat tempo. A song written for anyone who wonders "Does he love me, does he not....."

Standing in a Field of Daisies

Her name is Mary and she's such a pretty girl, yeah, she is
She paints with sunshine as she brightens up our world and I'll tell you this
She never paints inside the lines, if you ask her why she'll tell you she ain't got the time
She's too busy feeding strays or fighting crime
CHORUS
Mary Mary She's so very/ absolutely perfectly extraordinary
Her smile always borders on divine
Though I'm not much for her to see, if she'd only take a chance to wink at me
She might find....that I'm her kind
VERSE 2
Her name is Mary and she flies as she goes by, yeah, it's true
The world's igniting into color, sound, and light, but you would, too
Her angel wings are made of lace, catching on the winds with style and grace
heaven's number's on a card in her lipstick case
CHORUS REPEAT
Mary Mary look my way lalalala lalalala
Mary Mary make my day please
VERSE 3
Her name is Mary and she dances through each day, yeah, she does
Flowers bloom every time she goes their way, just because
She's so much more than she can see, but isn't quite as much as she's gonna be
If only she'd slow down enough to spend her life with me

Her Name Is Mary

USED TO ALONE 
music and lyrics by Cynthia Shapiro 
copyright 2009 
Verse 1: 
My heart is fine, don't you worry 'bout me boy 
Take your love and head on home, 
But these tears are mine, mine to enjoy 
Nothing's for free and I've paid for these tears on my own 
CHORUS: 
So leave me alone, I'm used to alone 
I'm used to 'I love yous' echoing silent and falling like stone 
Used to alone 
Verse2: 
I'm standing strong, despite what you see boy 
I'm gonna walk away when the right moment comes 
Though I know you're wrong, the wrong one for me boy 
I'm standing still as my head and my heart disagree 
REPEAT CHORUS 
Verse 3: 
My heart is fine, though I gave all I could boy 
Gave what I wanted, and you took what you would 
But this soul is mine, I paid the devil my dues boy 
I'm spent and I'm worn but I know that my will is my own 
REPEAT CHORUS


Used To Alone

DREAMERS DREAM     music and lyrics by Cynthia Shapiro
VERSE 1:
Dreamers dream, oh yeah, but Lovers do
I was just lying here dreaming and thinking of you
And loving all of the things that we used to do in the past
Cat's asleep by the fireside
I heard a noise in the hall, it was nothing at all
I almost thought it was you, memories back from the past
CHORUS:
I believed, I believed
in me and you (and the things that I knew)
I believed, I believed
in dreams coming true
VERSE 2:
Shadows fall against a moonlit wall, I see the picture of you, 
laughing and smiling like we used to do
Memories painted in glass
Footsteps slide across a lonely floor
I heard a knock at the door, I wondered what for,
I almost thought it was you, memories shatter like glass
CHORUS: repeat
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
Oh oh oh I believed, I believed 
Oh oh oh I believed, I believed
Oh oh oh I believed, I believed, 
Didn't you?


DREAMERS DREAM by Cynthia Shapiro

Sin/Love Collide       music and lyrics by Cynthia E. Shapiro
Come to my garden, come and play
Let's love and laugh beneath the moon
'Cause just like children on a summer's day
Our innocence flies past too soon
So come, come love me anyway
Before the sun sets on the truth

CHORUS:
This is our place, this is our time where we can run and we can hide
Where love and hope and fear and sin collide
The way we love is not a crime, we don't need to run and hide
As love and hope and fear and sin collide

Come to my garden, come to my garden, come to my garden, come and play (twice)

Come to my garden, come and play with me
We'll live life recklessly like we used to do
Before the cold set on the autumn leaves
And time changed everything of the world we knew

Come to my garden, come to my garden, come to my garden, come and play (twice)

Come to my garden, come and play
We'll dance like petals on the breeze
Like children skipping on a summer's day
With nowhere else we have to be
So come, come love me anyway
With a love that we both need

CHORUS
This is our place, this is our time where we can run and we can hide
Where love and hope and fear and sin collide
There is no purpose more divine
for this love that transcends time
as sin
and love
collide
