Description: This is a song about life decisions ... upbeat

Love your Music and Voice! Wishing you Much Success!

Just three or four basic chords
like the Rock and Roll 
Stars used to play,
and maybe I'll be on my way,
to the charts where I can 
make other folks days...

But we all know 
how that story goes
in the current market 
where our music goes
it gets lost in a long list 
of ten million tunes
by musicians like me
trying to reach for that moon. 
and that's the way it's got to be.

But I ain't given up
cause it's all that i've got
I'll work my fingers to the 
bone for that radio slot
and maybe someday one 
of my songs will be found
but i'll probably not be around.

I'll be a posthumous Rock star
Looking down from heaven above
and I'll go and ask God if it's possible
to feel all my fans love?
I guess for now that's 
all I'm dreaming of.

Cause I've done so 
many endless gigs
trying to make it BIG,
and at the end of the day
when nothing else comes my way
I just whisper" Go Fig?!"

They never said being a 
songwriter is a gravy train
but it gets me to wondering 
why I've got all these damn 
songs in my brain?
cause i don't know if I'll 
ever find fame.

But you know it's not a curse
others lead lives that are worse.
so I'll continue to rehearse
writing music and lyrical verse
and maybe someday I will burst
to the top of the charts
but I thank the Lord for giving me
this incredible art

and my songs have 
helped me to woo
many beautiful girls 
that told me "I Love You"
cause I wrote them a 
song to touch their hearts
and it was so beautiful 
till we had to part 
but I was grateful to have 
known them from the start
Thanks to my God-Given art.

I guess that's what 
songwriting is for
Just reaching out 
and touching some souls
till love takes control...
that's why songwriting's 
been my favortie goal
which helps relieve my fears
that I might wind up 
a posthumous star, 
but it won't matter then...
because.... 
it still got me so far.......

Cross Roads

I WAKE UP TO A MORNING 
THAT SURROUNDS ME
AND I LOOK OUT ON THE 
BEAUTY THAT ASTOUNDS ME 
INTRICATE  DESIGNS,  FROSTED 
WHITE ON MY WINDOW
CRYSTALS BENDING THE LIGHT 
OF THE SUN’S WARMEST  GLOW

SUMMERS OVER ...AND THE 
WORLD GROWS  COLDER
I FEEL ITS CHILL EVERY DAY 
CAUSE I'M GETTING OLDER
AND THE WINDOW CAN’T TELL ME  
WHAT’S YET TO BE..... 
CAUSE TIME’S OBSCURED, 
ONLY ICE CRYSTALS  
STARE BACK AT ME

MUCH LIKE THAT SAME CHILL 
THAT I SAW IN YOUR EYES 
ALL THE WARMTH CLOUDED 
OVER AND CRYSTALIZED                                       
OBSCURING MY VIEWS 
OF YOUR LOVE FOR ALL TIME
AND WHEN THE VIEW BECAME CLEARER 
YOU WERE NO LONGER MINE 

ICE CRYSTALS…NATURE’S PIXELS 
FORM A DELICATE LACE
PAINTING A FROZEN PORTRAIT 
OF YOUR MOST, LOVELY FACE
TIME CAN HEAL BITTER WOUNDS 
BUT IT CANNOT ERASE
ALL THE MEMORIES OF WARMER TIMES 
LOST IN YOUR  SWEET EMBRACE…

I TOUCH THE WINDOW’S BEAUTY 
BUT IT MELTS  IT CAN’T STAY
MUCH LIKE THE LAST TIME 
I TOUCHED YOU, AND YOU MELTED AWAY 
THE JOYS OF LIFE AND OF LOVE  
ARE SO TRAGICALLY FLEETING
LONELINESS  TAKES  THEIR PLACE  
AS MY HEART GOES ON BEATING
IN A RHYTHM OF ONE....  
WITHOUT TWO,  IT’S REPEATING             
ALL THE JOYS THAT I’VE LOST 
IN MY EARLY MORN GRIEVINGS. 
ALL THE JOYS THAT I’VE LOST 
IN MY EARLY MORN GRIEVINGS. 

ICE CRYSTALS…NATURE’S PIXELS 
FORM A DELICATE LACE
PAINTING A FROZEN PORTRAIT 
OF YOUR MOST, LOVELY FACE
TIME CAN HEAL BITTER WOUNDS 
BUT IT CANNOT ERASE
ALL THE MEMORIES OF WARMER 
TIMES LOST IN YOUR  SWEET EMBRACE…
LOST iN YOUR SWEET EMBRACE.........
