Love can sometimes be a one-way relationship

Great Song Gary, we've all been down that road before

WITH ALL MY LOVE (Instrumental)

I’ll Pretend That I Still Love You
©2013 Gary Pecorella
Lyrics & Music by Gary Pecorella


The day breaks, my heart aches
I tell all my friends I’m fine
But I’m lonely without you
Baby, you’ve crushed this heart of mine

Chorus:
Since you’ve been gone
Flowers still bloom and time goes on
I’m just a fool
So I’ll pretend that I still love you 

The man on the TV
He’s talking but all I hear
Is the sound of you breathing
I call out your name but you’re not there

Repeat Chorus
Break

There’s a shoe by the bed post
Your face in a picture frame   
And a note taped on the mirror	
Where you wrote ‘goodbye’ and signed your name
		
Repeat Chorus
	
Bridge:
Someday I’ll learn to say goodbye
I’ll see the truth beyond your lies
I need to work it through
But until I do  
I’ll pretend that I still love you
I’ll pretend that I still love you
I’ll pretend that I still love you
Baby, I’m the fool who loves you

I'LL PRETEND THAT I STILL LOVE YOU

A Time for You and Me
© 2005 Lyrics & Music by Gary Pecorella & Eric Ode


I see an old man by the tracks
A six-string on his back
A hard life on his shoulder
The bottle keeps him strong
When Texas days are long
And nights grow colder
In his face I find
Dreams he chased and love he left behind

Chorus 1
I found time for taking
Time for big-deal making
Fast-breaks and high–stake living
But couldn't find the time for you and me
	
I believed in power
Days spent in ivory towers
Seems so foolish now
But somehow I believed there'd always be
A TIME FOR YOU AND ME

The old man knew an age
Of spotlight center stage
But that was twenty years or more
And I've a suitcase in the back
Of this silver Cadillac
And your wedding band lies on the floor
Years have come and gone
What have I learned from the road I traveled on?

Repeat Chorus 1

Bridge
Some men dream of climbing ladders to the stars
Some are chasing dreams against the wind
All that matters now is knowing where you are
And holding you again, come back again

Chorus 2
I'll find time to love you
Time for thinking of you
I'd thank the Lord above
If there could be some time for you and me
I knew high position
And I knew blind ambition
Am I a fool for wishing
Somehow in this life there still could be
A TIME FOR YOU AND ME?  
A time for you and me, a time for you and me
Could there be A TIME FOR YOU AND ME?

A TIME FOR YOU AND ME

I Just Want To Play My Rock & Roll
©2017 Gary Pecorella
Lyrics & Music by Gary Pecorella


I loved music as a little boy
Played piano on a Casio toy
In my room
Listening to the stereo		
	
I taught myself to play by ear			
I figured out the chords I’d hear		 
Of the songs
Playing on the radio

You see the music spoke to me
In melody and harmony
I knew just where the hook would be
No one was listening to me

Chorus 1:
So I did it for love
‘Cause the fire was burning inside my soul
Couldn’t get it enough				
I just wanted to play my rock n roll	
		
Finished school, I worked real hard		
To buy myself a Yamaha
And a van
Now I play at the local bar
										
I’ve got some friends and family
Modern technology
And the hope 
That one day I’ll be a star	
	
You see the music speaks to me
In melody and harmony
I know just where the hook should be
Won’t somebody listen to me?

Chorus 2:
So I do it for love
‘Cause the fire is burning inside my soul
And I can’t get enough
I just want to play my rock & roll	
			
Bridge:
I tried to contact BMG
They wouldn’t even talk to me							
Universal, Def Jam, RCA
			
They say my music’s not mainstream
But I won’t let them steal my dream
‘Cause I’m gonna show them all someday

Chorus 3:
So I’ll do it for love
‘Cause the fire keeps burning inside my soul
And I can’t get enough
I just want to play my rock & roll	
 
I’ll do it for love
‘Cause the fire keeps burning inside my soul
And I can’t get enough
		
And for all of these days that I live			
I’ll give music the best I can give
If I make it, well God only knows 	
Till then I’ll keep singing and playing my rock & roll		 
I just want to play my rock & roll
…
I’ll be right here playing my rock & roll

Lyrics & Music by Gary Pecorella


Here in these uncertain times
I feel secure to know that I have you              
Whatever life throws our way                             	
We can endure, we will see it through                                                                          
							
Nothing comforts me more 		           
Than lying here safe in your arms                                     
I've much to be grateful for                                                                     

CHORUS: 
		
FOR YOUR LOVE 
I cherish these moments we share          
I will protect you, I swear     
For you, I would risk anything                                
	
FOR YOUR LOVE
No matter what challenge we face 
The future is ours to embrace      
For you, I'd sacrifice everything      
FOR YOUR LOVE
 
I found love in this crazy world            		                                       
You are the one, the one my heart beats for                                             
There's no place that I'd rather be             
Than right here with you, I could not ask for more                                       

You make me feel reassured                                       
No matter what happens tomorrow    
Today I am thankful for          		
		
REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge:

We learn how to trust and we learn to be strong               
And pray for a world where two hearts can belong 
			
REPEAT CHORUS

FOR YOUR LOVE

The Power of Your Mind
© 2007 Gary Pecorella
Lyrics & Music by Gary Pecorella 

Take a ride on a cosmic journey			
Leave your fear behind				
You can do anything you want			
Open up your mind							    
Now is the moment								
Your wish is your command			
Life’s yours for the asking				 
Reach within, understand 	  						
	
Chorus:						
Close your eyes				
Wisdom flows like music through your head     				
Every note plays perfectly in time	
Peace and happiness are yours to find      
Tune in to the power of your mind	 

Fire up your imagination           			 
Let the bygones by                			 
Feel the winds of inspiration 						
Lift you to the sky					
You are the composer	  			
Of your life’s symphony					
The magic of creation			
It flows through you and through me
							
Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
What a beautiful feeling
Body and soul immerse 
Mind becoming Universe        			 
		
We are all evolving			
We’re part of a greater scheme			 
Seizing the day
Finding our way
Grasping the dream
Bridging the stream

Repeat Chorus 2x

THE POWER OF YOUR MIND

You’re My Angel
© 2013 Gary Pecorella
Lyrics & Music by Gary Pecorella


There’s an angel here	
And I see her face							
Beautiful in all her grace				
I’m in the aura of her embrace					
Angel, from somewhere above	 					
I feel the power of your love

Chorus:
You’re my angel		
Watching over me 
My guardian angel		
That’s what I believe	     			  
Heaven on earth 			
It’s amazing to see						  
My angel watching over me 
			
On my angel’s wing						
It’s a perfect day						
People laugh
And children play
Beauty surrounds me in every way
Miracles happen, it’s true
That’s what my angel can do
		
Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
I was a fool so blind
Hiding inside my mind	
Hoping for my share of inspiration
Waiting for my time to shine
				
Repeat Chorus 2x then:

Don’t give up on me
You’re my angel…
You’re my angel

The Da Vinci Code
Copyright 2005 Gary Pecorella
Lyrics & Music by Gary Pecorella
						

Mona Lisa guards the Secret	
Mockingly she grins				
You can hear the hush                               		 
As her master’s brush                                            
Draws us to the tale within                  		    
               
Symbols, pictures, forgotten scriptures                          
A dusty dark conclave                                                                                                 
Now the hopes and fears                                                                                          
Of two thousand years  			        
Are calling from the grave
		
Chorus:
Will you open your eyes? 		                              
See the Church’s disguise?
All that they tell you is tainted with lies                
For the truth will be known                                                                                        And the fable exposed                                                                                                                         When you decipher the Da Vinci Code

Leonardo paints the puzzle						
Clues dull into gray                                                                 
From a fresco wall                                                                
To the Great Louvre Halls						
A keystone guides the way                               

Anagrams and noble clans                            	                                                        
Reveal the mystery
Of a Prophet Son                           
And the Outcast One  
A Supreme conspiracy

Repeat Chorus
	
Bridge:
The Secret lies waiting for you 
The artist unveils the Queen    
The Bloodline of Christ and Mary Magdelene
					
Repeat Chorus 2x

Back In The 60's
©2014 Gary Pecorella
Lyrics & Music by Gary Pecorella


It makes me smile to think about
The way life used to be
'Cause growing up was perfect 
In the 60's 
With Frankie Valli, Gladys Knight
The Kinks and The Supremes 
Jiffy Pop, skateboards and color TV

Beach Boys and Flinstones 
Jetsons and Twilight Zone
Sandy Koufax, Muhammad Ali 
Ricky Nelson, Dick Van Dyke 
And Leave it to the Beave 
Oh how I wish I was back...
Back in the 60's

Peter, Paul & Mary, Andy Warhol, 
Johnny Cash 
Armstrong on the moon 
And Dr. Strangelove
Makin' out at Drive-in-movies
Doin' the Monster Mash 
With Cousin Brucie, 'Crimson & Clover' and Barbie dolls

Elvis and Lassie, tie-dye, 
John Kennedy 
Ringo, John, Paul & George 
And bell-bottom jeans 
Mini-skirts and Nehru shirts
And 'My Green Tambourine' 
Oh how I wish I was back...
Back in the 60's

Blue Bonnet, TV Guide, wax paper, 
Dave Clark Five
Chicken Delight & a dab of Brylcreem 
Life was so much simpler then
And we had everything
Oh, how I wish I was back 
If I could only go back
Back to my own 'Sugar Shack'
Back in the 60's… Back in the 60's… Back in the 60's...

BACK IN THE 60s

When We Dance
© 2014 Music by Gary Pecorella 
Lyrics by Gary Pecorella & Wayne Faust

When springtime first came to the mountain
That's when I first asked you to dance
We were young and unsure
But we danced 'cross the floor 
Just a boy and a girl holding hands

Then summer came into the garden
And christened the dew drops at dawn
With my arm 'round your waist
And the sun on your face 
I knew that our song would go on

CHORUS

When we dance, my heart's a feather
In your arms I can fly
When we're gliding around
The whole world slows down
Each moment is sweet when we dance

When the morning brings frost in October
And falling leaves swirl past our door
When the autumn winds blow
We'll embrace them as though
We never stopped dancing before

When your hair turns the color of snowflakes
I will try not to stumble behind 
When the music still plays 
Watch the years melt away 
As I spin you around one more time 

REPEAT CHORUS 

Bridge:
I'm still in love with the girl that I fell for
So many seasons ago
When you gave me your vow
And I made you a promise
To hold you and never let go

REPEAT CHORUS

Save America
©2019 Gary Pecorella (ASCAP)		
Lyrics & Music by Gary Pecorella

I’m praying for this land I love
America, America 
The home of the free	

But there are people making plans
To change America, They’ve no respect for Her
Or what matters most to me        				      

Chorus:
That’s why I stand for the flag
And I kneel at the cross				
Mourn for the friends I have loved and lost	        
And I still believe in ‘In God We Trust’
And the freedom our Forefathers granted us	
I hope it’s not too late… to save America	

Do you hear our battle cry across America?						 
We’ve got to rescue Her  
You know it’s up to me & you			 

To see the truth behind their lies
Don’t change America!
God bless America			
And the ‘Red, White and Blue’	

REPEAT CHORUS	1			

Verse 3 (Instrumental)			
						
LAST CHORUS:
That’s why we stand for the flag
And we kneel at the cross				
Mourn for the friends we have loved and lost	        
And we still believe in ‘In God We Trust’
And the freedom our Forefathers granted us	
We know it’s not too late… to save America
Save America
Let’s Save America
Together… we can save America
