[Verse]
Smoldering flame at the end of the bar
Scorching flame burning bright as a star
Ignited flame by sweet lips and a smile
Don't think for a while my heart could blaze more wild

[Chorus]
From the flame of your love
From the flame of your love
The flame of your love
Oh the flame of your love

[Verse 2]
Tender sparks in this smokey haze
Your touch sets my soul ablaze
In the twilight where shadows dance
Your fire leads me to a love-trance

[Chorus]
From the flame of your love
From the flame of your love
The flame of your love
Oh the flame of your love

[Bridge]
Endless nights under starry skies
Burning bright those soulful eyes
In your arms where my heart resides
Lost in the flame where my passion hides

[Verse 3]
Roaring fire that can't be tamed
Through the night it calls my name
Love's inferno in your warm embrace
Feel the heat can't leave a trace

You let me find you..and that is the wonder....

(intro)
That girl can write poetry

That girl can write songs

And when it belongs

I like to introduce you to a friend of mine

she sings through the shadows

drawing pictures in rhymes

she makes you believe

what is yours

is just fine

That girl can write songs

And when it belongs

That girl can right wrongs

 

(verse 2) Above the noise, Below all the pain

she makes you think about life again

the beat and the tempo

the transcending sustain

allows you live

without blame

(chorus) That girl can write her poetry

That girl can write songs

And when it belongs

That girl can right wrongs

(bridge) she makes you think about life again

the beat and the tempo

the transcending sustain

allows you live

without blame

 (Outro) That girl can writer poetry

That girl can write songs

And when it belongs

That girl can right wrongs

That Girl Can Right Wrongs By Edwin H. Balder

We should all know this....

Be Her Man by Edwin H. Balder

(Verse 1) Mom said break your heart, bad ones out there
steal your money, not even care
understand that son but also be aware...
some go through hell in their life
sometimes the cure is to be a  good husband and wife
sometimes there has been pain beyond what you can understand
and if that is the case, son, still be her man.
 (chorus) be her man son
 be her man
if she falls down
always help her to stand
her man son
be her man
hold her hand in the dark son
let her know she can

(verse2) She told me how dad was down on his luck
travel'en stage to sage in a beat up old  truck
she was a waitress hiding best she could
When she heard his songs
she knew he understood

some go through hell in their life
sometimes the cure is to be a good husband and wife
sometimes there has been pain beyond what you can understand
and if that is the case, son, still  be her man.
(chorus) be her man son
be her man
if she falls down
always help her to stand
be her man son
be her man
hold her hand in the dark son
let her know she can


(verse 3) Dad has been gone now for a number of years
but mom got through on an ocean of tears
She is the best and her best she gave to us
Dad was her cure she said never made a fuss

some go through hell in their life
sometimes the cure is to be a good husband and wife
sometimes there has been pain beyond what you can understand
and if that is the case, son, still  be her man.
(chorus) be her man son
be her man
if she falls down
always help her to stand
be her man son
be her man
hold her hand in the dark son
let her know she can

(verse 4) mom never said how bad it had been
but we knew for sure she had some thick skin
and if her strength ever stated to crack
Dad was there ,Dad always had  moms back
some go through hell in their life
sometimes the cure is to be a good
husband and wife
Sometimes there has been pain beyond what you can understand
and if that is the case, son, still  be her man.
(chorus) be her man son
be her man
if she falls down
always help her to stand
be her man son
be her man
hold her hand in the dark son
let her know she can
gonna be her man mom
gonna be her man

Respect the will to get things done...

Country Up And Get Country Strong By Edwin H. Balder

(Chorus) Living life is just full of mistakes

Ups and downs and them's the breaks

You learn to live with all your aches

Cause in this life that's what it takes

 

There's nothing right about being wrong

for those who live  life...like a country song

When you're lost in place

by the things you gotta face

Country up and get country strong

Country up and get country strong

 

(verse 1) All the family that depend on you

gets you out of bed... gets you through

All the things you thought you'd never do

praying tomorrow brings something new

 

(Chorus) There's nothing right about being wrong

for those who live life... like a country song

When you're lost in place

by the things you gotta face

Country up and get country strong

Country up and get country strong

 

(Bridge)
Country up and get country strong
Country up and get country strong
When you're lost in place
by the things you gotta face
Country up and get country strong
Country up and get country strong

 

(verse2)  Even now you believe in your dreams

Think it's not as bad as it seems

Fueling up your emotional machines

get back in the saddle by any means

 

(chorus) There's nothing right about being wrong

for those who live  life...like a country song

When you're lost in place

by the things you gotta face

Country up and get country strong

Country up and get country strong



(Outro) When you're lost in place
by the things you gotta face
Country up and get country strong
Country up and get country strong
Country up and get country strong
when you're lost in place
by the things you gotta face
Country up and get country strong

Country Up And Get Country Strong By Edwin H. Balder

Not one rhyme in this song so Please tell me does it still belong?

The Choir Club By Edwin H. Balder

(Verse 1) In the heart of Sin City, where the cards dance and the dice whisper secrets, There stood a joint called the “Desert Rose,” its neon petals blooming defiance. The Choir Club gathered there—eccentric souls, half gamblers, half dreamers, Their pockets full of luck and their hearts stitched with nostalgia.

(Pre-Chorus) The crooner, Johnny “Lucky” Malone, leaned against the piano, His voice a velvet caress, weaving tales of lost love and neon-lit nights. He sang of dames with crimson lips, their eyes reflecting the Strip’s neon glow, And the ghosts of old mobsters who still haunted the casino floors.

(Chorus) “Midnight Mirage,” he crooned, as the roulette wheel spun its hypnotic spell, A love story etched in neon, where Lady Luck danced with Lady Fate. The Choir Club swayed, their laughter echoing off mirrored walls, And Johnny’s voice carried them to a place where time blurred and memories bled.

(Verse 2) He sang of a showgirl named Ruby, her sequined gown trailing stardust, Her heart a wild card, dealt from a deck stacked against her. She danced at the Stardust Lounge, legs like flamingos in flight, Her dreams wrapped in feathers and the scent of jasmine.

(Pre-Chorus) But Ruby had a secret—a suitcase hidden beneath her bed, Letters tied with satin ribbons, inked with promises and regrets. Her lover, a croupier named Frankie, whispered love notes between shuffles, Their rendezvous at the Neon Boneyard, where broken signs whispered forgotten tales.

(Chorus) “Midnight Mirage,” Johnny sang, fingers tracing the ivory keys, As Ruby’s tears fell like diamonds on the green felt table. Frankie dealt a losing hand, and the Choir Club held their breath, For in this city of illusions, even love could fold like a paper fan.

(Bridge) One moonless night, Ruby slipped aces up her sleeve, Her heart aces, her fate uncertain. She met Frankie by the old El Cortez sign, Its neon flickering like a dying star. He wore a fedora low, hiding his eyes, And they danced—two shadows in a city that never slept.

(Chorus) “Midnight Mirage,” Johnny’s voice cracked, the notes fragile as antique glass, Ruby bet it all on love, while Frankie shuffled destiny. The Choir Club leaned in, their hearts wild cards in a cosmic game, And the roulette wheel spun, deciding whether love would win or fold.

(Outro) As dawn painted the desert sky, Ruby vanished like smoke, Leaving behind a lipstick-stained napkin and a whispered promise. Johnny sang the final verse, his voice a wisper-toned memory: “Vegas, my love, you’re a gamble worth losing.”

And so, the Choir Club swayed, their souls entwined with the city, As Johnny “Lucky” Malone faded into the neon-lit horizon, His song echoing through the ages, a love story etched in stardust.

Oh ...I love to write a love story song...

Feels So Right By Edwin H. Balder

(verse 1)The suns comes up 
we get out of bed
our eyes remember
the words we said
that this was just
this one time
cause you have yours
and I have mine

It started with just a look
the things we did 
the path we took

(Pre Chorus) the vows that we set aside
the guilt that grew
each time we lied

(chorus) But we could not stay away
and so it goes
on another day

We pray it never comes to light
forbidden love
that feels so right

(Verse 2) We go to work
then come home
Being with family
and feeling alone
We miss each other
and get so weak
we hide in corners
just to speak

(Pre Chorus) It started with just a look
the things we did 
the path we took

the vows that we set aside
the guilt that grew
each time we lied

But we could not stay away
and so it goes
on another day

(bridge)We pray it never comes to light
forbidden love
that feels so right

(Verse 3)Forgetting the world
When were together
We block it out
to make it better
and wish for more
with each goodby kiss
how much longer 
can we go on like this

(pre chours) It started with just a look
the things we did 
the path we took

(chorus) the vows that we set aside
the guilt that grew
each time we lied

But we could not stay away
and so it goes
on another day

(outro)We pray it never comes to light
forbidden love
that feels so right

We pray it never comes to light
forbidden love
that feels so right

Well If I had to pick a super power....

Want To Go Back In Time By Edwin H. Balder


I want to stop the clocks
I want to go back... back in time
I was hoping maybe baby
we could go back and find
where it all went wrong
when things seemed to be going fine
I want to stop the clocks
I want to go back... back in time

What has come between us
what's breaking us apart
I never saw it coming
how did it all start
I loved you forever
how did I break your heart

I want to stop the clocks
I want to go back... back in time
I was hoping maybe baby
we could go back and find
where it all went wrong
when things seemed to be going fine
I want to stop the clocks
I want to go back... back in time

nothing seems the same
now that we're through
I wake up every day
and don't know what to do
how do I go on when I
never stopped loving you

I want to stop the clocks
I want to go back... back in time
I was hoping maybe baby
we could go back and find
where it all went wrong
when things seemed to be going fine
I want to stop the clocks
I want to go back... back in time
I want to stop the clocks
I want to go back... back in time

This is a true story ...

Falling Falling Free By Edwin H Balder

(verse 1) She was walking  on air
when she passed by
yet felt the ground move
Love caught my eye

I'd seen a lot of ladies
in my traveled life
relationship failure
 that cut like a knife
but all that change when I saw my wife

(Chorus) i'm falling for ya
could that really really be
I falling for ya
I am falling falling free
I'm falling for ya
could that really really be
I'm falling for ya
I am falling falling free

( verse2) Next thing she asks me
out on a date
Knew that could not happen
and tried to close the gate

She knew I was lying
as I gave her a line
smiled said that's fine
maybe another time maybe another time

(Chorus)i'm falling for ya
could that really really be
I falling for ya
I am falling falling free
I'm falling for ya
could that really really be
I'm falling for ya
I am falling falling free


(verse 3) Paid for our wedding
paid so many dues
Paid to live our life
the way that we choose

My love still growing
after all of these years
My love for ya
My love for ya
never disappears

(Chorus)i'm falling for ya
could that really really be
I falling for ya 
I am falling falling free
I'm falling for ya
could that really really be
I'm falling for ya
I am falling falling free

i'm falling for ya
could that really really be
I falling for ya
I am falling falling free
I'm falling for ya
could that really really be
I'm falling for ya
I am falling falling free

Dancing Into Love's Light By Edwin H. Balder

Clint Mansell - Dead Reckoning

Hello---
I was just 19 Way back bout 1969
a couple of new friends of mine
Hippy Joni & John Prine
gave me some listening time
50 years later down the line
what was voiced then is now
so wonderfully defined
by voices my music was meant to find
I wonder back into that dive hotel room now and then
and meet with old friends... Everyone making amends ...Time just transcends
Playing and singing our dream songs....Hoping stardom comes along
So we can all run away
And play everyday
In a cloud of smoke
Where nobody’s broke
Maybe one more toke and I can stay
SO
Too old ..
So little in the tank
Not near the time to get in all I want to thank
Thought all my music might someday get me bank
Cause God gave me talent but the check he wrote was a bit blank
And as I got older and my dreams of glory sank
I made what's here for you to see
hoping  my sad obscurity gets outflanked

I may be dead when fame comes but my real glory was always JULIE & The Kids. Thank you for such love
