**A story about abuse and a woman finally finding her strenght and doing something about it**.

SHE HAS A BRUISE FOR EVERY SINGLE TIME
THAT SHE DID SOMETHING WRONG IN HIS EYES
SHE HAS A PILLOW STAINED WITH ALL THE TEARS
FROM ALL THOSE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS WHEN SHE CRIES
TODAY SHE FINALLY GOT HER COURAGE UP
QUIT HER JOB AND PACKED ALL HER STUFF

CHORUS
HEAVEN HELP HANNAH, SHE NEEDS AN ANGEL TONIGHT
SHE’S BOUND FOR ATLANTA, SHE NEEDS SOMEONE ON HER SIDE
HEAVEN HELP HANNAH, NOT TO TURN AROUND THIS TIME
A BRAVE NEW STAR IS SHINING SO BRIGHT
HEAVEN HELP HANNAH TONIGHT

SHE’S WAITING TABLES WORKING EVERY NIGHT 
AND GOING BACK TO SCHOOL…GETTING BACK HER PRIDE
SHE’S MADE A FRIEND OR TWO AND FOUND THAT SHE 
COULD SMILE AND LAUGH AGAIN…FEELS GOOD INSIDE
SHE STRUGGLES HARD TO KEEP HIM OFF HER MIND
SOME DAYS ARE STILL AN UPHILL CLIMB

CHORUS

BRIDGE
LOOKING BACK SHE WONDERS WHY LEAVING HIM TOOK SO LONG
IT’S THE BEST THING SHE’S DONE 
NOW SHE’S LIGHT AS A BIRD FREE TO SING HER SONG

CHORUS
HEAVEN HELP HANNAH, USING BRAND NEW WINGS TO FLY
DOWN IN ATLANTA, SHE’S GONNA SPREAD THEM WIDE
HEAVEN HELP HANNAH, HER LIFE IS NOW HER OWN
A BRAVE NEW STAR IS SHINING SO BRIGHT
HEAVEN SURE HELPED HANNAH, ALRIGHT…OOH

Heaven Help Hannah

**This little girl never did really fave her daddy in her life but she still survived and made her dreams come true**.

RETTY FLOWERS CRAYON PICTURES ON THE WALLS
EMMA’S DRESSED IN PINK WHILE HER AND BUNNY HAVE A TALK
“MY DADDY’S COMIN’ AT THREE, HE’S GONNA SPEND SOME TIME WITH ME”
HER MOMMA’S WAITIN’ BY THE PHONE NEXT TO HER BED
WILL HE CANCEL OUT AGAIN OR DO WHAT HE SAID
AND NOT LET HIS BABY DOWN LIKE OTHER TIMES HE’D BLOWN INTO TOWN

AND AS LACE AND FRILL COME RUNNIN’ DOWN THE STAIRS
SHE’S WAY TOO YOUNG TO LEARN THAT LIFE JUST ISN’T FAIR

CHORUS - AND SO THE STORY GOES
ANOTHER PROMISE LEFT OUT IN THE WIND
HER LITTLE TEARDROPS ROLL 
DOWN HER FACE, A SMILE ERASED
HER MOMMA SAYS IT’LL BE OK AND HOLDS HER CLOSE
AND SO THE STORY GOES

PRETTY FLOWERS DECORATIONS IN THE HALL
EMMA’S DRESSED IN WHITE AND NOW SHE’S PRACTISING HER WALK
“WILL DADDY BE HERE TODAY, HE SAID HE’D GIVE ME AWAY”
AND AS LACE AND SILK COME WALKING DOWN THE AISLE
SHE BEAMS FROM HEAD TO TOE BUT FINDS IT HARD TO SMILE

CHORUS

BRIDGE
WITHOUT HER DADDY IN HER LIFE 
SHE STRUGGLED BUT STILL LEARNED TO FLY

So the Story Goes

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL NIGHT?
THIS TIME DON’T TELL ME YOU WERE WORKING LATE
CAUSE MY INTUITION WAS RIGHT
AND YOUR CAR WAS THERE AT HER PLACE
DON’T TELL ME NOTHING’S GOING ON
EVEN THOUGH THE WINDOW SHADES WERE DRAWN
       
CHORUS
I CAN READ BETWEEN THE BLINDS
AND THE CLEAREST SIGN 
IS WHEN NO LIGHTS ARE ON
YOU CAN SAY YOU LOVE ME
TELL THE WHOLE DAMN TOWN
EVEN WRITE IT DOWN ONE THOUSAND TIMES
BUT I CAN READ BETWEEN THE BLINDS

YOU SAID YOU WERE OVER HER
OH HOW YOU PLAYED ME WITH THAT SONG
AT LEAST NOW I KNOW FOR SURE
YOU’VE BEEN CAUGHT…I’VE BEEN CONNED
DON’T TRY AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF TO ME
I’VE SEEN ALL I NEED TO SEE

Read Between the Blinds (Ballad)


HOW MANY SUMMER NIGHTS DID WE SPEND HERE?
HOLDING HANDS GAZING INTO EACH OTHER’S EYES
ON THIS OLD FAMILIAR FISHING PIER
THIS WAS OUR PARADISE

WE WATCHED THOSE PERFECT SUNSETS PAINTED ACROSS THE SKY

CHORUS
BUT NOW THOSE SCARLET HUES
HAVE CHANGED TO SEPTEMBER BLUES
THE SKIES HAVE TURNED TO GREY
THE RAIN BEGINS TO POURS
THE WAVES CRASH TO THE SHORE
IT’S SUCH A DIFFERENT VIEW
HERE WITHOUT YOU
HERE WITHOUT YOU

I HEAR SOME FOOTSTEPS AND TURN AROUND
BUT THERE AIN’T A SOUL IN SIGHT
MUST BE THE WICKED WIND MAKING EERIE SOUNDS
ON SUCH A COLD AUTUMN NIGHT

I FEEL MY WORLD CAVE IN AS I LOOK UP TO THE SKY

Here Without You

A father who will do anything for his little girl named HEAVEN

AN ANGEL LIVES AMONG US 
ABOUT TWO HOURS OLD, A BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL
ALL THE STRENGTH HER MOMMA HAD
LEFT THE MOMENT SHE BROUGHT HER INTO THE WORLD
SO HER DADDY NAMED HER HEAVEN
SHE’S ALL HE HAS NOW, AS HE MAKES THIS VOW

CHORUS
OH HE SWEARS HE’LL BE HER KING HER KNGHT IN ROYAL COURT
BATTLE EVERY MONSTER THAT HIDES BEHIND HER BEDROOM DOOR
ON SPECIAL DAYS THEY’LL DRINK MAGIC TEA
RIDE HORSES WITH FIERY WINGS
AND IF ANYTHING WILL CAUSE HER HEART TO BREAK
HE’LL MAKE IT RIGHT FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE

HEAVEN GREW UP SO FAST
AND WHEN SHE STARTED SCHOOL SHE SOON REALIZED
SHE WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE REST
LIFE WAS HARD ON HER, SOMETIMES IT MADE HER CRY
SHE HAD A RARE HEART CONDITION
DOCTORS DID WHAT THEY COULD DO, BROKE HER DADDY’S OWN IN TWO

CHORUS
CAUSE HE SWORE HE’D BE HER KING HER KNGHT IN ROYAL COURT
BATTLE EVERY MONSTER THAT HID BEHIND HER BEDROOM DOOR
ON SPECIAL DAYS THEY’D DRINK MAGIC TEA
RIDE HORSES WITH FIERY WINGS
AND IF ANYTHING WOULD CAUSE HER HEART TO BREAK
HE’D MAKE IT RIGHT FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE

BRIDGE
WAS IT ALL OF HIS PRAYERS THAT SAVED HIS BABY GIRL 
NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW FOR SURE 

TAG – AN ANGEL LIVES AMONG US NOW TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD

For Heaven's Sake

SHE WAS A SHY YOUNG GIRL SEVENTEEN AND FULL OF WONDER
A BUDDING ROSE NOT YET A FLOWER
HIS NAME WAS DONAHUE, WHEN HE SMILED HER HEART WOULD THUNDER
CHANCE MEETING ON A SUMMER BREAK IN JUNE

THEY SPENT THE NEXT TWO MONTHS LAUGHING UNDERNEATH THE SUN
AND THEIR LAST NIGHT TOGETHER CRYING UNDERNEATH THE MOON

CHORUS
HE PICKED A PURPLE FLOWER PLACED IT IN HER HAIR
AND SAID “I HATE THAT WE’LL BE FAR APART
BUT I WANNA KEEP IN TOUCH” AND SHE SAID “I DO TOO
YOU ALREADY HAVE MY HEART
BY TOMORROW I’LL BE MISSING YOU SO
DONAHUE ROSE”

HE WAS COLLEGE BOUND LIVIN’ CLEAR ACROSS THE COUNTRY
HE PROMISED HE WOULD WRITE AND SHE WOULD CALL
THEY TRIED TO MAKE IT LAST, STILL IT ENDED WITH GOODBYE
YOUNG LOVERS LEADING VERY DIFFERENT LIVES

SOMETIMES HER HEART TAKES HER AWAY BACK TO WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
ON THE MOONLIT SAND BOTH HAND IN HAND, HE’S HOLDIN’ HER AGAIN

CHORUS
HE PICKED A PURPLE FLOWER PLACED IT IN HER HAIR
AND SAID “I HATE THAT WE’LL BE FAR APART
BUT I WANNA KEEP IN TOUCH” AND SHE SAID “I DO TOO”
SHE REMEMBERS EVERY KISS BY HEART
WHERE HE IS TODAY, HEAVEN KNOWS
DONAHUE ROSE

Donahue Rose

A song about a singer who stops at nothing to make her dream come true

SHE GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN THAT DOESN’T SHOW UP ON ANY MAPS
FOUR STREETS LEADING TO NOWHERE 
SHE SINGS AT A BAR BY THE RAILWAY TRACKS
AND SHE HAS A DREAM TO BECOME A STAR
SAVES ALL HER TIPS IN A MASON JAR
UNTIL THE DAY SHE HAS ENOUGH TO LEAVE THIS TOWN
         
CHORUS     
ONE DAY SOON WITH A ONE-WAY TICKET
SHE’S GONNA BOARD THAT TRAIN, SHE’S GONNA MAKE IT
THERE AIN’T NO GIVING UP, SHE’S HALFWAY THERE
AND SO SHE CLIMBS ONE WRUNG AT A TIME
SHE’LL KEEP ON TRYING TILL HER DREAMS COME TRUE, SHE’S GONNA CLIMB 

SHE’S ONLY 5’ 4” IN HIGH HEEL BOOTS BUT SHE CAN ROCK LIKE NO ONE ELSE AROUND
HER VOICE SOARS TO THE HEAVENS
NO ONE ELSE BRINGS THE HOUSE DOWN QUITE LIKE SHE CAN
WHEN SHE’S UP THERE ON THAT STAGE
THE CROWD GOES CRAZY, SHE’S ALL THE RAGE
THEY FEED THE FIRE THAT’S BEEN BURNING INSIDE HER FOR SO LONG                         

CHORUS

BRIDGE
NOW SHE STANDS IN LINE AT THE STATION
NEXT STEP TO THIS DREAM THAT SHE’S CHASING

IN HER HAND A ONE-WAY TICKET 
SHE’S BOARDS THAT TRAIN BOUND TO MAKE IT 
THERE AIN’T NO GIVING UP, SHE’S HALFWAY THERE
AND SO SHE CLIMBS ONE WRUNG AT A TIME
SHE’LL KEEP ON TRYING TILL HER DREAMS COME TRUE, SHE’S GONNA CLIMB

Climb(Midtempo)

A song about perseverance.

YOU CAN KNOCK ON A THOUSAND DOORS
YOU CAN POUND THE PAVEMENT TILL YOUR FEET GET SORE
AND STILL NEVER GET ONE FOOT INSIDE  
WELL JUST KEEP TRYING 
                              
NOW DON’T YOU LOSE YOUR WILL
TAKE IT FROM ME IF THAT ROAD IS ALL UPHILL
YOU’RE GETTING CLOSER TO THE TOP

CHORUS
SO CLIMB TILL YOU REACH YOUR DREAM
KEEP TRYING, FORGE AHEAD FULL STEAM
IF YOU KEEP A STRONG STATE OF MIND
YOU’LL GET THERE ONE WRUNG AT A TIME
CLIMB

ALONG THE WAY YOU MIGHT TAKE A FALL
IT HAPPENS TO THE BEST, YOU JUST NEED TO GET BACK UP THAT’S ALL
IT’S JUST ANOTHER TEST 
DO YOUR BEST

CHORUS
                         
BRIDGE
EVEN THE SMALLEST OF STEPS WILL TAKE YOU FAR
EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT THE BEST, YOU HAVE TO THINK YOU ARE

Climb(Uptempo)

IT’S SUCH A PERFECT DAY, FEELING GOOD IN EVERY WAY
THE BIRDS ARE SINGING A BRAND NEW SONG
YOU’RE THE REASON WHY I’M SMILING ALL THE TIME
YOU’RE EVERYTHING I’VE WAITED ON FOR SO LONG
WE’RE MAKING PLANS, MY FUTURE’S IN YOUR HANDS
THE FUNNY THING ABOUT IT IS I’M NOT EVEN SCARED
WHAT’S GOING ON – IS IT LOVE IN THE AIR?

CHORUS
I’M COMING TO LIFE, SHINING SO BRIGHT
I FEEL I WANNA SING IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING
I’M CHANGING INSIDE LIKE A BUTTERFLY
THERE’S A WHOLE NEW WORLD I SEE WITH BRAND NEW EYES
I’M COMING TO LIFE, I’M COMING TO LIFE

DESTINATION OPEN SKY, MY HEART IS FLYING HIGH
A THOUSAND MILES AN HOUR AT THE SPEED OF LOVE
A FEELING SUCH AS THIS, HOW WONDERFUL IT IS
RIDING EVERY RAINBOW WITH YOU, IT’S A RUSH
WHAT LOVE CAN BRING, IT’S SUCH A PERFECT THING
WHEN YOU KNOW THERE AIN’T A DOUBT AND EVERYTHING IS RIGHT
I FEEL SO BLESSED KNOWING GOD MADE YOU MINE

CHORUS
I’M COMING TO LIFE, SHINING SO BRIGHT
I FEEL I WANNA SING IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING
I’M CHANGING INSIDE LIKE A BUTTERFLY
THERE’S A WHOLE NEW WORLD I SEE WITH BRAND NEW EYES
I’M COMING TO LIFE, I’M COMING TO LIFE

Coming To Life

I’VE ALWAYS BEEN SOMEONE WHO’S LOW KEY
LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP, THAT’S ME
I LIKE THE FEELING OF ALWAYS BEING IN CONTROL

BUT FROM THE FIRST TIME YOU CAME AROUND
LIKE A PRIZE FIGHTER YOU KNOCKED ME DOWN
GOODBYE LOGIC, HELLO LOVE
WAVE GOODBYE TO WHO I WAS
I’M SOMEONE NEW, SWEAR TO YOU RIGHT NOW

CHORUS - I’VE NEVER BEEN THIS CRAZY, CRAVING EVERY KISS
IN A TOTAL FRENZY WHEN WE’RE CLOSE LIKE THIS 
MY THOUGHTS BECOME ERRATIC, MY HEART JUMPS FOR JOY
WHAT’CHA DOING TO ME
I’VE NEVER BEEN THIS CRAZY

LET’S HOP INTO YOUR CAR AND HEAD TO THE COAST
WE’LL RENT A LITTLE CABIN, C’MON BABY LET’S GO
WE’LL RUN BAREFOOT ON SOME BEACH
FEEL THE SOFT KISS OF THE OCEAN BREEZE

I WANNA DANCE WITH YOU IN THE POURING RAIN
I WANNA DRINK YOU IN TILL I FEEL NO PAIN
LET’S RUN THROUGH A FIELD OF TALL GRASS
I’LL LET YOU CATCH ME OH YA
LOVE IS RIGHT IF IT MAKES YOU INSANE (and)

CHORUS

BRIDGE - YOU’VE GOT ME THINKING RINGS
BELLS AND VOWS AND A LONG WHITE GOWN
WE COULD MAKE THOSE PLANS OR WE COULD ELOPE RIGHT NOW (cause)

Never Been This Crazy

Kind of a tongue-in-cheek lyric.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT DAPPER CAVALIER WHO STOLE MY HEART
THAT SMOOTH AND SEXY CASINOVA MAN WHO HAD ME FROM THE START
ALWAYS DRESSED - TO MAKE THE LADIES BEG
PAST THE NINES - A PERFECT TEN HECK 
EVEN IN A PAIR OF FADDED JEANS…OH GOD AMEN
EVER SINCE WE SAID I DO, I’VE BEEN WONDERING WHERE HE WENT

CHORUS
THAT DON’T IMPRESS ME YOU FORGETTIN’ HOW TA SHAVE
COUCH POTATOE ALIENS DONE STOLE MY MAN AWAY
THAT TRAIL OF SOCKS & DIRTY CLOTHES BEEN THERE SINCE YESTERDAY
IF YOU THINK MAYBE I FIND THAT HOT, OH HONEY
NOT, NOT
          
YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU BETTER OR FOR WORSE, THOSE VOWS I’LL KEEP
I’M ONLY ASKIN’ BRING ME BACK THE MAN WHO SWEPT ME OFF MY FEET
THAT CHARMING GUY - WHO WHISPERED IN MY EAR
MADE ME WEAK - WITH WORDS I LOVE TO HEAR
BROUGHT ME FLOWERS ONCE IN A WHILE (that’s what I loved)
I’M NOT A SHALLOW GIRL BUT DANG ENOUGH’S ENOUGH

CHORUS 

YA LIFE GETS CRAZY…BUT WHERE’D MY BABY GO

CHORUS - THAT DON’T IMPRESS ME YOU FORGETTIN’ HOW TA SHAVE
COUCH POTATOE ALIENS DONE STOLE MY MAN AWAY
DON’T LOOK SURPRISED AND WONDER WHY ROMANCE IS M.I.A.
THAT TRAIL OF SOCKS & DIRTY CLOTHES BEEN THERE SINCE YESTERDAY
IF YOU THINK MAYBE I FIND THAT HOT (c’mon ladies what do you think)
NOT (I didn’t you hear you girls) … NOT

I GET A LITTLE BIT CRAZY 
EVERYTIME WE’RE ALL ALONE
I LOVE THE WAY YOU TOUCH ME 
THAT’S WHY I ALWAYS HURRY HOME
NO ONE’S EVER MADE ME FEEL 
LIKE I’M STARVING INSIDE, YET SATISFIED
MY HUNGER FOR YOU IS OUT OF CONTROL
AND EVERY CORNER OF MY SOUL   (WANTS TO)

CHORUS
TOUCH YOU WITH FINGERTIPS OF MY EMOTION  (I WANNA) 
BREATHE IN YOUR BEAUTY, FILL YOU WITH MY DEVOTION
LOSE YOU IN MY HEART, TAKE YOU FAR AWAY
SLOWLY MOVE YOU TO ANOTHER TIME AND PLACE
I’M GONNA TAKE YOU THERE

WITH YOU HERE LYING BESIDE ME
AND THE CANDLELIGHT REFLECTING OFF YOUR FACE
I WANT YOU SO MUCH BABY
AND IT’S MY HEART TALKING MAKE NO MISTAKE
YOU’RE A MAN EVERY WOMAN WOULD LOVE TO HAVE
BUT YOU’RE HERE WITH ME, OH IT’S SO SWEET
I’LL SHOW YOU THE WAYS I CAN LOVE YOU BLIND
UNTIL YOU SEE THE MORNING LIGHT   (I’M GONNA)

Take You There


HE NEVER HEARD HIS ALARM CLOCK RING
NOW HE’S LATE AND HURRYING
HE’LL NEVER MAKE THAT MEETING UPTOWN
SPEEDING IN HIS CAR AND SHIFTING GEARS
STARTS TO CURSE CAUSE IN HIS MIRROR
RED LIGHTS ARE FLASHING HIM DOWN
WE’VE ALL HAD DAYS LIKE THESE, I’VE HAD MY SHARE
BUT I REALLY CAN’T COMPLAIN - CAUSE SOMEWHERE

CHORUS  THERE’S A LITTLE GIRL FEELING SO ALONE 
GOING TO HER 3rd FOSTER HOME
WHO DOESN’T TRUST A SOUL - WHO DOESN’T HAVE A FRIEND
SHE KEEPS TO HERSELF, LET’S NOBODY IN
NOW I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT WHEN I GET THE BLUES
I THANK GOD I’M NOT IN THOSE SHOES

I USE TO FUSS ABOUT THE LITTLE THINGS
BUT HAD NO REASON TO COMPLAIN
I’M LUCKY IN SO MANY WAYS
I’M NOT HOMELESS WITHOUT A DIME
I’M NOT DEAF AND I’M NOT BLIND
I COUNT MY BLESSINGS EACH DAY
SO WHEN THINGS AREN’T GOING RIGHT, I TRY TO KEEP IN MIND
A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE MUCH STEEPER HILLS TO CLIMB

CHORUS  LIKE A TEENAGE BOY ,WHO HAS LOST A LIMB
TALK ABOUT THE CARDS THAT LIFE HAS DEALT HIM
OR A SOLDIER WHO’S AFRAID FIGHTING IN A FOREIGN LAND             
DODGING BULLETS IT’S SO CRAZY MAN
NOW I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT WHEN I GET THE BLUES
I THANK GOD I’M NOT IN THOSE SHOES

SOMEWHERE - THERE’S AN OFFICER – KNOCKING AT A DOOR
AND ON THE OTHER SIDE – SOMEONE’S DROPPING TO THE FLOOR
NOW I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT NOW WHEN I GET THE BLUES
I THANK GOD I’M NOT IN THOSE SHOES

Not In Those Shoes

**You're all that mattered to ME...but
    You're all that mattered to YOU.

I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED FROM THE START
WHEN THEY SAID THAT YOU LIKE TEARING HEARTS
LIKE A TORNADO TWISTING THROUGH A TOWN
BUT YOU’RE BABY BLUE EYES DREW ME IN
YOUR SMILE, YOUR WORDS YOUR EVERYTHING
MADE MY HEAD SPIN ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND

I GAVE YOU ALL MY LOVE BODY AND SOUL
AND YOU CAN’T SAY IT ISN’T SO

CHORUS
YOU’RE ALL THAT MATTERED TO ME
YOU CAN’T DENY IT IT’S TRUE
YOU’RE ALL THAT MATTERED TO ME
CAN’T SAY THE SAME THING FOR YOU
I GAVE YOU THE WORLD BUT YOU WANTED THE MOON
YOU’RE ALL THAT MATTERED TO ME
YOU’RE ALL THAT MATTERED TO YOU

I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING HEARTFELT
YOU WERE ADDING NOTCHES TO YOUR BELT
I THINK IT’S KINDA PATHETIC, I THINK IT’S KINDA SAD
WELL GO AHEAD AND HAVE YOUR FUN
BUT YOU WILL SEE THE DAY WILL COME
WHEN YOU’LL FINALLY REALIZE JUST WHAT YOU HAD

BUT I’LL BE WAY TOO GONE AND YOU’LL BE WAY TOO LATE
JUST REMEMBER THIS AS I WALK AWAY

All That Mattered

**A METAPHOR for life.

THEY WERE BEST FRIENDS IN GRADE TWO
BECAME SWEETHEARTS IN HIGH SCHOOL
GOT MARRIED, LIFE WAS ONE SWEET MELODY
EVERY YEAR ON HER BIRTHDAY HE GAVE HER PRETTY FLOWERS
JUST LIKE HE DID LAST WEEK
HE BOUGHT HER 12 RED ROSES, AND SAID - I LOVE YOU SO
THEN HE PLACED THEM ON HER STONE

CHORUS –
EVERY SONG HAS TO END NO MATTER HOW BEAUTIFUL
IT’S JUST THE WAY IT GOES
WE LAUGH, WE CRY, WE LIVE, WE DIE
LOVE AS DEEPLY AS YOU CAN
CAUSE EVERY SONG HAS TO END

SHE WAS THE ONE WHO MADE HIM SEE
JUST HOW WONDERFUL LIFE COULD BE
MOMENTS HE TREASURES BUT IT DOESN’T STOP THE TEARS
AND THOUGH HE WISHED THEY’D HAD MORE TIME
THERE’S ONE THING HE CAN’T DENY
THEY SURE SANG THEIR LOVE SONG LOUD AND CLEAR
HE JUST NEVER GUESSED HE WOULD LOSE IT ALL SO FAST
HOW MUCH SAND IS LEFT IN YOUR HOURGLASS?

BRIDGE
THE CLOCK IS TICKING, THE SONG IS PLAYING
WE CAN’T WASTE A DAY
CAUSE WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THE LAST NOTE WILL PLAY

Every Song Has To End

I won 1st place with this song in the SONG OF THE YEAR contest...country category.

TONIGHT AS I WAS WALKING BY MY LITTLE GIRL’S ROOM
I COULD HEAR HER TALKING SOFT AND LOW
I OPENED UP HER DOOR A TOUCH JUST ENOUGH TO SEE THROUGH
SHE WAS HOLDING ON TO HER FAVORITE DOLL
KNEELING DOWN BESIDE HER BED
WITH HER HANDS TOGETHER AND EYES SHUT TIGHT SHE SAID

CHORUS  DADDY, DADDY - I MISS YOU SO EVERYDAY
I TRY NOT TO CRY BUT MOMMY SAYS IT’S OK
I WISH YOU WERE HERE TO READ ME A BEDTIME STORY LIKE YOU USE TO DO
OH DADDY WOULD IT BE OK WITH JESUS
IF YOU COME AND SEE US

I WALKED INTO HER ROOM HOLDING BACK MY TEARS
AND HUGGED HER SO TIGHT
AND SAID “SWEETY, I KNOW IT’S HARD, I MISS HIM TOO
BUT REMEMBER DADDY’S ALWAYS HERE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE” 
I TRIED TO HIDE THE SADNESS ON MY FACE
BUT IT WAS PLAIN FOR HER TO SEE
SHE SAID “MOMMY CLOSE YOUR EYES” & THEN SHE WHISPERED SOFTLY

CHORUS  DADDY, DADDY - I KNOW THAT I JUST SPOKE WITH YOU
BUT MOMMY’S SAD, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO
MOMMY SAYS GOD NEEDS YOU NOW BUT WHEN YOUR WORK UP THERE IS THROUGH
DADDY WOULD IT BE OK WITH JESUS
IF YOU COME AND SEE US

BRIDGE  I TUCKED HER INTO BED AND KISSED HER ON THE CHEEK
I SOFTLY STROKED HER HAIR TILL SHE WAS SOUND ASLEEP
AND I REALIZED SHE’S MY WORLD - MY STRENGHT - HEAVEN SENT
THE INNOCENCE THAT KEEPS ME SANE
AND HER WORDS ECHO IN MY BRAIN

***She's got wings no one's ever seen
      and wild Kaleidoscope Dreams!

KATIE’S GOT AN OCEAN FULL OF WISHES IN HER HEAD
SHE SEES HER NAME IN NEON LIGHTS - WHEN SHE’S IN HER BED
SOMETIMES IN SCHOOL SHE DISAPPEARS INTO A WORLD UNSEEN
SHE’S A BEAUTY QUEEN ON A SILVER SCREEN FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE

CHORUS - KATIE’S A DREAMER A TRUE MAKE-BELIEVER
SHE’S GOT HER HEAD IN THE CLOUDS
WHE SHE’S UP IN THE SKY SHE JUST WANTS TO FLY
AND NEVER COME DOWN
SHE’S GOT WINGS NO ONE’S EVER SEEN
AND WILD KALEIDOSCOPE DREAMS

DEVIN’S GOT A DROP DEAD SMILE AND DIMPLES CAVED IN DEEP
WITH JUST ONE FLASH - YOUNG GIRLS HEARTS - DROP DOWN AT HIS FEET
SINCE HE WAS SMALL HE LOVED TO POSE FOR ALL THOSE CAMERA LIGHTS
HE SAYS “HOLLYWOOD - SOME DAY SOON - I’LL HAVE YOU IN MY SIGHTS”

CHORUS - DEVON’S A DREAMER A TRUE MAKE-BELIEVER
HE’S GOT HIS HEAD IN THE CLOUDS
WHE HE’S UP IN THE SKY HE JUST WANTS TO FLY
AND NEVER COME DOWN
HE’S GOT WINGS NO ONE’S EVER SEEN
AND WILD KALEIDOSCOPE DREAMS

BRIDGE
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO YOU ARE - OR WHERE YOU’RE FROM
IF YOU WANT IT BAD ENOUGH YOU CAN BECOME
WHOEVER YOU WANNA BE

Kaleidoscope Dreams

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL NIGHT?
DON’T SAY THAT YOU WERE WORKING LATE AGAIN
CAUSE MY INTUITION WAS RIGHT
AND I SAW YOUR CAR AT HER PLACE
SO DON’T PRETEND LIKE THERE’S NOTHING GOING ON
EVEN THOUGH THE WINDOW SHADES WERE DRAWN
       
CHORUS  
I CAN READ BETWEEN THE BLINDS AND THE CLEAREST SIGN 
IS WHEN THERE AIN’T A SINGLE LIGHT BURNIN’ 
SAY YOU LOVE ME ALL YOU WANT, I DON’T CARE I’M GONE
YOU CAN EVEN WRITE IT DOWN A THOUSAND TIMES
BUT I CAN READ BETWEEN THE BLINDS
 
YOU SAID YOU WERE OVER HER
OH HOW YOU PLAYED ME WITH THAT SONG ALL ALONG
DON’T SAY ANOTHER WORD
DON’T WANNA HEAR YOUR PATHETIC PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE
THIS GIRL IS GONE AND THOSE TEARS WON’T CHANGE THE FACT
THAT YOU JUST LOST THE BEST THING THAT YOU’LL NEVER GET BACK

Read Between The Blinds

This song was inspired from a Ellen DeGeneres episode I saw entitled "Two young Heroes...Danny and Tommy".  

DANNY WAS 6 YEARS OLD, IN KINDERGARTEN
GOD MADE HIM A SPECIAL LITTLE GUY
A QUIET BOY, SO KIND-HEARTED
WHO ALWAYS DRESSED IN A JACKET AND TIE
HE GOT BULLIED IN SCHOOL
BUT A BOY NAMED TOMMY CAME TO HIS RESCUE
HE RALLIED A BAND OF BOYS AND DANNY WAS SO SURPRISED
WHEN THEY SHOWED UP ONE DAY ALL WEARING A SUIT AND TIE

CHORUS
THOSE ARE THE KIND OF HEROES THAT WE NEED
THEY MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR YOU AND ME
IMAGINE THE CHANGES WE WOULD SEE IF WE ALL DID ONE GOOD DEED
LET’S TAKE THEIR LEAD
THOSE ARE THE KIND OF HEROES THAT WE NEED

SANDY WAS HER NAME AND WHEN SHE HIT THE EAST COAST
HER SCREAMING WINDS DEVASTATED TOWNS
ROOFS BLEW OFF, STREETS TURNED INTO RIVERS
IT WAS TOTAL CHAOS ALL AROUND
THERE WERE SOME BRAVE SOULS
WHO JUMPED INTO FREEZING WATERS SAVING PEOPLE THEY DIDN’T KNOW
OTHERS WERE IN THEIR BOATS SEARCHING FLOODED HOMES
LOOKING FOR PEOPLE STRANDED IN THE STORM

BRIDGE
THE ONES WHO TEACH COMPASSION
THE ONES WHO FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
THE ONES WHO GIVE A HELPING HAND

The Kind of Heroes that we Need

"Her pretty face, her gentle sighs, her skin, her body, her laugh, her lips on yours and the way you love her...these are the real 7 Wonders of the World".

HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN SAY 
THEY’VE SEEN THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD
GIRL I CAN TELL YOU TODAY 
THAT NOTHING ELSE COMPARES I KNOW FOR SURE
CAUSE I’VE EXPERIENCED THE BEAUTY OF THEM ALL
                
CHORUS  
EACH TIME I SEE YOUR PRETTY FACE 
HEAR YOUR GENTLE SIGHS
TOUCH YOUR VERY SKIN 
FEEL YOU BODY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
WHEN I LAUGH WITH YOU OUT LOUD 
TASTE YOUR LIPS ON MINE
LOVE YOU SO DEEPLY GIRL
THESE ARE THE REAL SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD

I LOVE YOUR BLUE OCEAN EYES 
AND THE SOFTNESS OF YOUR SUN-TANNED SKIN
BUT IT’S NO BIG SURPRISE 
THAT YOUR REAL BEAUTY COMES FROM WITHIN
YOU AMAZE ME WITH THE THINGS YOU DO AND SAY
YOU SIMPLY TAKE MY BREATH AWAY

Seven Wonders Of The World

SLIPPING OUT MY BEDROOM WINDOW
WITH A BLANKET AND A PILLOW
HOT SUMMER NIGHT - THE MOON WAS HANGING UPSIDE DOWN
IN THE BACKYARD YOU WERE WAITING
THAT’S THE REASON MY HEART WAS RACING
TOUCHING YOU WAS ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT 
WE MADE OUR GETAWAY AND RAN LIKE CRAZY ABOUT A QUARTER MILE DOWN

CHORUS TO THAT ABANDONED OLD FARM IN THAT WOODEN BARN
MY HEART COULDN’T BEAT ANY FASTER
LAUGHIN’, ROLLIN’ IN HAY, SWEET LOVIN’ MADE
ON NIGHTS OF DESIRE

SNUCK BACK IN ABOUT FIVE IN THE MORNIN’
TIP-TOED SLOWLY ACROSS THE FLOOR WHEN
I HEARD A VOICE SAY MY NAME AND I JUST KNEW
I GOT IN TROUBLE WITH MY OLD MAN
BUT STRONGER THAN HIS DISCIPLINE
WAS THE POWER OF THAT MIDNIGHT MOON
AND THE VERY NEXT WEEKEND, AS IT PEAKED INTO MY ROOM (we ran off again)

CHORUS TO THAT ABANDONED OLD FARM  IN THAT WOODEN BARN
MY HEART COULDN’T BEAT ANY FASTER
LAUGHIN’, ROLLIN’ IN HAY, SWEET LOVIN’ MADE
ON NIGHTS OF DESIRE

INSTRUMENTAL

BRIDGE  NOW THAT WAS SO MANY YEARS AGO
AND WE’RE NO LONGER KIDS LIKE WE WERE BACK THEN
BUT WOULDN’T IT BE A BLAST TO FEEL THAT RUSH AGAIN

CHORUS ON THAT ABANDONED OLD FARM  IN THAT WOODEN BARN
LAUGHIN’, ROLLIN’ IN HAY, FINDING OUR WAY
ON THAT ABANDONED OLD FARM  IN THAT WOODEN BARN
MY HEART COULDN’T BEAT ANY FASTER
LAUGHIN’, ROLLIN’ IN HAY, SWEET LOVE WE MADE  ON NIGHTS OF DESIRE

Nights Of Desire

ALL SHE HAS TO DO IS WALK MY WAY
THAT’S ALL IT TAKES TO MAKE MY DAY
AND SHE DON’T EVEN HAVE A CLUE - WHAT SHE DOES
LONG LEGS, SWEET SMILE AND THOSE BABY BLUES
IT’S LIKE A MATCH LIGHTING A FUSE
SHE SETS FIRE TO MY SOUL AND MAKES MY HEART EXPLODE

CHORUS   
AND WHAT SHE DOES IS UNDOING ME
I CAN’T THINK STRAIGHT AND I CAN’T SLEEP
TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE HER SEE
WHAT SHE DOES, OH WHAT SHE DOES
WELL IT’S KINDA HARD TO EXPLAIN
BUT IT’S EVEN SWEETER THAN SUGARCANE
WHAT SHE DOES, OH WHAT SHE DOES TO ME

LIKE A RAINBOW BURSTS ACROSS THE SKY
SHE ADDS SUCH COLOR TO MY LIFE
JUST WISH I HAD THE NERVE TO TELL HER - WHAT SHE DOES
I KNOW THE WORDS THAT I WANNA SAY
BUT TO GET THEM OUT WELL THERE’S NO WAY
I’M TANGLED IN THIS HURRICANE THAT’S SWEEPING THROUGH MY BRAIN

CHORUS

BRIDGE  
I’LL FIND A WAY TO MAKE HER MINE
I’M GONNA GET HER INTO MY LIFE

What She Does

***This song honors Mom's...and has a  lyrical twist at the end of the lyric.

 She opened the box filled with red roses
Found a card attached that said
Twelve beautiful flowers for a woman who towers
Way above the rest
She kissed me and said thank you 
But for what occasion are these flowers for
I said it’s my way of saying you’re the one I truly adore
There is no one else I admire more

It’s for all your bedtime stories when you use to tuck me in at night
And the times I came home crying, you made everything alright
It’s for never giving up on me even when I let you down
It’s for not appreciating you, like I do now

She found a vase and placed the flowers in
Arranged them all one by one
When she came to notice only eleven roses
And wondered how come
She turned to me smiled and said “I only see eleven roses here”
I said “Mamma you missed one, go look in the mirror  
The 12th Rose will appear”

The 12th Rose - Honorable Mention -NSAI/CMT International song contest

WE WERE SITTING ROUND THE KITCHEN TABLE 
TALKING ABOUT OLD TIMES
WITH THE FAMILY THERE DADDY SHARED 
A STORY BACK WHEN HE WAS YOUNG AND SHY
HE SAID YOU’LL NEVER KNOW HOW CLOSE I CAME 
TO NEVER ASKING YOUR MOMMA OUT
BUT I’M SO GLAD I GOT THE NERVE, WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT

CHORUS  THAT FIRST KISS THAT LED TO THIS, THIRTY YEARS OF MARRIED BLISS
TWO GIRLS, ONE BOY, A LIFE FILLED WITH JOY - TALK ABOUT A GIFT
A MILLION LAUGHS, TIMELESS PHOTOGRAPHS 
OF YEARS WE SHARED, THEY SLIP SO FAST
THE HIGHS AND LOWS, THE MIRACLES
IT ALL STARTED WITH THAT FIRST KISS

HE RAISED HIS GLASS AND HE MADE A TOAST
HERE’S TO MY WONDERFUL WIFE
SHE SMILED AT HIM, TOOK HIS HAND AND SAID
I COULDN’T ASK FOR A BETTER LIFE
THEN HE TOOK OFF HIS GLASSES AND WITH A QUIVER IN HIS VOICE
HE SAID ALL THOSE MANY YEARS AGO, GOD I SURE MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE     (cause)

BRIDGE  WELL MY SON WAS LISTENING CLOSELY, SOAKING IN EVERY WORD
WHEN GRANDPA TURNED TO HIM AND SAID SOMEDAY SON I’M SURE

CHORUS  YOU’LL HAVE THAT FIRST KISS THAT’LL LEAD TO THIS
MANY YEARS OF MARRIED BLISS
I TELL YOU BOY A LIFE FILLED WITH JOY IS A REAL TRUE GIFT
A MILLION LAUGHS, TIMELESS PHOTOGRAPHS
OF YEARS YOU’LL SHARE, THEY’LL SLIP SO FAST
THE HIGHS AND LOWS, THE MIRACLES 
IT WILL ALL START WITH THAT FIRST KISS

That First Kiss

HEY BABY LET’S GETAWAY, LIKE A JET CUTTING THROUGH THE BLUE SKY
LET’S YOU AND I LEAVE THIS CITY TONIGHT
I KNOW A HIDEAWAY
WHERE THE BLUE WATER MEETS THE SAND
WHERE THE WAVES AND THE CRICKETS ARE THE BAND   
(that’s where I wanna)

CHORUS
CHASE YOU BABY RUNNING’ BAREFOOT ON THE BEACH
HEAR YOUR LAUGHTER SOFTLY BOUNCING ON THE BREEZE
AND WHEN I PULL YOU INTO THE WATER
THE NIGHT WILL GET A WHOLE LOT HOTTER
WITH NO ONE AROUND BUT YOU AND ME
WE COULD GET A LITTLE CRAZY BABY
ON MOONLIGHT BEACH

WE COULD SIT BY THE WATER’S EDGE 
AND WATCH THE LIPS OF THE WAVES KISS THE SHORELINE
LET IT SOOTHE OUR MINDS WHILE THE WORLD SLIPS AWAY
AND IN THAT MIDNIGHT SKY
THOSE FLICKERING BIRTHSTONE-BLUE STARS WILL BURN BRIGHT
YOUR HEART WILL FEEL THE FIRE TONIGHT   (girl I wanna)

Moonlight Beach

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE MAJESTIC BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS
THE COLORS IN THE FALL, THE BEAUTY OF IT ALL
OR THE INCREDIBLE GRAND CANYON IN ARIZONA
SUCH A MASTERPIECE, LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS INDEED
OR NIAGARA FALLS UNDER A CRIMSON SUNSET
WELL I’VE SEEN BETTER YET

CHORUS    
YOU, YOU’RE SO CRAZY BEAUTIFUL
WITH THE KINDEST EMERALD EYES AND SUCH JOY OF LIFE, YOU AMAZE ME
AND YOUR SMILE, IS THE SUNSHINE THAT LIGHTS UP MY SOUL
YOU’RE THAT ONE-OF-A-KIND, BLOW MY MIND
CRAZY BEAUTIFUL

JUST A SIMPLE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND ON MY SKIN 
MAKES ME COME ALIVE, YOU’RE MY NATURAL HIGH
JUST A SINGLE TASTE OF YOUR SWEET LIPS ON MINE
TANGLES UP MY THOUGHTS AND MAKES MY HEART BEAT AT MACH SPEED
AND THE BEST OF YOU IS WHAT’S INSIDE
NO ONE CAN DENY                   

DOWN
YOU, YOU’RE SO CRAZY BEAUTIFUL
WITH THE KINDEST EMERALD EYES AND SUCH JOY OF LIFE, YOU AMAZE ME
AND YOUR SMILE IS THE SUNSHINE THAT LIGHTS UP MY SOUL
YOU’RE THAT ONE-OF-A-KIND, BLOW MY MIND
CRAZY BEAUTIFUL

OUTRO
CRAZY BEAUTIFUL, CRAZY BEAUTIFUL
CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY BEAUTIFUL
CRAZY BEAUTIFUL

Crazy Beautiful

Award Winning competitive country songs for your project.  All my songs are demos that were professionally recorded in Nashville.  I'm not an artist myself so I'm always looking for talented artists to record my songs.

Do you want to save time and money in studio.  I have professional pre-mixed backing tracks to a lot of my songs that I lease inexpensively for only $80. US.  This way, all you have to do is add your vocals in studio.  (The tracks in question are the songs you hear minus the vocals.  If a song you like is not in your vocal range, I can transpose the key of the track to suit your voice without loss of quality.

I've been awarded 5 professional songwriting grants through FACTOR (Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on Recordings), (www.factor.ca).  I’ve had numerous songs published over the years and have had several cuts by a variety of contemporary country Artists.
