JUST BE THERE FOR HER (Cooper/Jones)
© All Rights Reserved 2023

So many questions
I can’t answer them all
Just make a few suggestions
Keep the writings off the wall
Who am I to really say
I’ve messed up time and time again
There’s a price you have to pay
You must understand, my friend

Just be there for her
Whenever she may need you
Just be there for her
Whoever may succeed you
Face the fact, you can’t go back to the way things were
And just be there for her

You built a life together
That looked solid from the start
Then came some stormy weather
And you let it fall apart
Now she faces decisions
And you can’t stand in her way
Whatever she envisions
If you want a part to play

Just be there for her
Whenever she may need you
Just be there for her
Whoever may succeed you
Face the fact, you can’t go back to the way things were
And just be there for her

Who knows if down the line
When and if the scars are healed
You might gently cross her mind
And find a landing field

Just be there for her
Whenever she may need you
Just be there for her
Whoever may succeed you
Face the fact, you can’t go back to the way things were
And just be there for her
Just be there for her
Just be there for her
Just be there for her

Just Be There for Her

From A Flicker To A Flame
2023 Cooper Jones 
               
What is it with me                        
Why do I always fall
I’m a gambler it seems                                       
Push my chips to risk it all  
                            
Again my heart has wings                            
And it’s fluttering around                      
Lost in dang’rous dreams                                        
Fetch the net to bring it down

CHORUS
Oh here I go again 
From a flicker to a flame
Can’t seem to help myself
I know I am to blame

Something’s stirring up inside 
I’m not gonna let it die
It’s growing, getting bigger
From a flicker to a flame 
                
VERSE
My old heart leaps                          
It’s happy once again                      
With you around all day                          
My limits know no end 
                             
I see beauty in your soul                                 
It’s a gift I’ve always owned              
To find the best in someone is
Jane from Pride & Prejudice 

CHORUS
So here I go again 
From a flicker to a flame
Can’t seem to help myself
I know I am to blame

Something’s stirring up inside 
I’m not gonna let it die
It’s growing, getting bigger
From a flicker to a flame 

BRIDGE
My heart has been asleep
Dormant without a need 
All for crushes that crushed me
I locked and threw away the key 

CHORUS
So here I go again 
From a flicker to a flame
Can’t seem to help myself
I know I am to blame

Something’s stirring up inside 
I’m not gonna let it die
It’s growing, getting bigger
From a flicker to a flame 
It’s growin’ gettin’ bigger from a flicker to a flame

From A Flicker To A Flame

That Sweet Moment 
2023 Cooper/Jones

Sleeping beauty now awake
Like a song that just hit play 
I’m doing somersaults with glee 
It’s the affect you have on me

Are you leaving little signs 
Hints to read between the lines 
Am I imagining these things 
Seeing what I want to see  

CHORUS 
That sweet moment 
When my stomach does a little flip
That sweet moment 
Did my heart leap or did it skip
That sweet moment 
With tingles up and down my skin 
That sweet moment 
When I feel something new begin 

VERSE 
That smile you always give me
I’m a princess in Walt Disney
How you’re always looking sharp 
Oh be still my beating heart

VERSE 
And you’re bringing out my best 
At last I’m jumping out of bed
Can I keep this good thing going
Or is my affection showing 

CHORUS
That sweet moment 
When my stomach does a flip
That sweet moment 
Did my heart leap or did it skip
That sweet moment 
With tingles up and down my skin 
That sweet moment 
When I feel something new begin 

BRIDGE 
We are the perfect match 
Sounds cliché but it’s a fact 
It’s like I somehow know 
We’d take the challenge just to grow 

CHORUS
That sweet moment 
When my stomach does a flip
That sweet moment 
Did my heart leap or did it skip?
That sweet moment 
With tingles up and down my skin 
That sweet moment 
When I feel something new begin

That Sweet Moment

PREVENTING A CATASTROPHE
© Cooper/Jones 2023

Well…the boulder was a-thunderin’ right down the hill
Below, the folks in their beds layin’ sleepy and still
Not for the first time, the onus was on me
To act fast, preventing a catastrophe

And the train was a-hurtlin’ all over the track
Out of control, no way to stop or turned back
How come it’s always my responsibility
To act fast, preventing a catastrophe

Seems like I’m always on high alert
To dig dodgy situations out of the dirt
Hardly get any downtime to spend on me
Always acting fast, preventing a catastrophe

Hell…the two great world leaders were havin’ a spat
Each tryin’ to second guess the other’s line of attack
Once more, I had to step in and do what needs be
To act fast, preventing a catastrophe

Sarah-Mae and Willy, clearly made for each other
But Sarah-Mae tipped a subtle wink to Willie’s big brother
I had to, given Willie’s temper, save all three
To act fast, preventing a catastrophe

It’s twenty-four/seven, with no let up or release
I’ll only get some peaceful rest, the day I rest in peace
Gotta go now, there’s a ship that’s lost at sea
Always acting fast, preventing a catastrophe

Preventing a Catastrophe

Her Quarry Never Gets Caught
2023 Georgie Cooper

VERSE
She wants to be in his arms at night
And in his thoughts by day
She has loved him in secret for a long while
But he doesn’t see her that way

VERSE 
He is wed to another though she treats him wrong
She thinks she’s the better for him
So the days come and go and the years tumble on
Her love light never grows dim


CHORUS
He is always on her mind
She longs to be his wife
It’s a long shot and she gives all she’s got
But her quarry never gets caught 


VERSE
She admires how he works from dusk to day’s end
When he’s tired he never complains 
She’s the one he comes to when he needs a friend 
Not the beauty but she has the brains

CHORUS
He is always on her mind
She longs to be his wife
It’s a long shot and she gives all she’s got
But her quarry never gets caught 

It’s a long shot and she gives all she’s got
But her quarry never gets caught

Our Destiny

INSIDE OUT 
(c)2017 Gwyn Jones & Georgie Cooper 

Verse 1
You said to me last night 
That something wasn’t right 
You felt pushed away and that upset me 
I’d had a busy day 
Things hadn’t gone my way 
I was gonna tell you but you didn’t let me 

CHORUS
For you know what I’m about 
‘Cos you know me inside out 
You know I hold you closely and most dearly 
And you know without a doubt 
‘Cos you know me inside out 
You know I love you truly and sincerely 

RIFF 

Verse 2 
So whilst you’re sitting there 
I wanna clear the air 
If you felt shut out then I’m really sorry 
Let me give you a kiss 
Then let me tell you this 
You have absolutely no reason to worry 

CHORUS
For you know what I’m about 
‘Cos you know me inside out 
You know I hold you closely and most dearly 
And you know without a doubt 
‘Cos you know me inside out 
You know I love you truly and sincerely 

RIFF 

Verse 3 
Little problems come and go 
I’m not perfect that I know 
But you’re the rock I always need to lean on 
If life ever gets me down 
Just to know that you’re around 
Gives me the strength I need so much to keep on 

CHORUS
For you know what I’m about 
‘Cos you know me inside out 
You know I hold you closely and most dearly 
And you know without a doubt 
‘Cos you know me inside out 
You know I love you truly and sincerely 

RIFF

ME TIME
(c) 2017 Georgie Cooper
Music by Gwyn Jones

VERSE
You know I love you baby
You know I love you, I do and I prove it, every day...um hmmm

But sometimes I gotta put back 
I gotta put back, what I give, coz I give it out every day...um hmmm

CHORUS
I need some me time
So we can have us time 
I need to be on my own 
So we can spend time alone 
I hope you understand
it’s all good
I need time so I can find
My way back to you

VERSE
I know what I have 
What I have, that’s you and I tell you that, every day...um hmmm

I don’t wanna lose ya
I won’t lose ya, wanna do what’s right by you, every day...um hmmm

CHORUS
I need some me time
So we can have us time 
I need to be on my own 
So we can spend time alone 
I hope you understand, it’s all good
I need time so I can find
My way back to you

BRIDGE
It might not make sense
Please don’t take offence
It’s just this thing I do
When I need to regroup 

CHORUS
I need some me time
So we can have us time 
I need to be on my own 
So we can spend time alone 
I hope you understand, it’s all good
I need time so I can find
My way back to you

Me Time

YOU ALWAYS HAD A BOYFRIEND
2017 Georgie Cooper & Gwyn Jones

VERSE
I was 16 when we first met
Back then on your daddy’s farm 
In flannel shirts we wore our hair long
We talked about bands and listened to rock

PreChorus
At summer’s end I went home to my family 
My young head full & my poor heart empty  

CHORUS
I had a crush on you then
But you always had a boyfriend 
To you I was only a friend 
Coz you always had a boyfriend 

VERSE
I was 18 when we met again
I was working on your daddy’s farm
You and your friends took me under your wing
At parties I’d play the guitar and we’d sing 

PreChorus
At summer’s end I went home to my family 
My young head full and my poor heart empty  

CHORUS
I was sweet on you then
But you always had a boyfriend 
You couldn’t see how I felt 
Coz you always had a boyfriend 

At 21 our paths crossed again
A long way from your Daddy’s farm
We both sang at an open mic
And we ended up playing together all night

At summer’s end I went home to your family
My young head full and my old heart happy
 
I was in love with you then
And you didn’t have a boyfriend
When I told you how I felt
You said I’d always be your boyfriend

You Always Had A Boyfriend

WHAT YOUR EYES ARE SAYING 
(c) 2017 Georgie Cooper & David Gwyn Jones

You hold me closely…to calm all my fears
Tell me don’t worry…and dry all my tears
Try to console me…reassure me you’re stayin’
But that’s not what your eyes are sayin’

CHORUS
Cause your eyes betrayed you 
They gave you away 
They said you’re unfaithful 
Will cause me heartache 
Yes your eyes reveal 
What you’re tryin to hide 
When you said you loved me…ya lied

You whisper softly…there’s no need to doubt
Your true intentions…each time you go out
But body language…has a way of conveyin’
And it’s not what your eyes are sayin’

CHORUS
Cause your eyes betrayed you 
They gave you away 
They said you’re unfaithful 
Will cause me heartache 
Yes your eyes reveal 
What you’re tryin to hide 
When you said you loved me…ya lied

BRIDGE  

CHORUS
Cause your eyes betrayed you 
They gave you away 
They said you’re unfaithful 
Will cause me heartache 
Yes your eyes reveal 
What you’re tryin to hide 
When you said you loved me…ya lied
Yes your eyes reveal 
What you’re tryin to hide 
When you said you loved me…ya lied

Just Be There for Her
