Kevrio & The Dashing Gents - Tippy Top

Submarine

I thought I’d build a submarine to travel deep under the sea
My computer drew some custom blueprints just – for - me
It will have a viewing port below and a periscopic view above
And a captain’s chair in calfskin leather that will fit me like - a – glove

My submarine is sleek and gold a fantastic sight to behold
Passersby who saw it couldn’t help - but – gawk
I put it on my old trailer and hitched it to my new volvo
And headed out for its maiden launch from the public City dock

I’m gonna see this world like I have never seen before
I’m gonna see this world like I have never seen before

I don’t have any deep sea knowledge as I head into the blue
But I have a clever chatbot that can tell me what – to – do
My friends seem somewhat skeptical; they’re clearly jealous I can tell
that none of them has thought of such a great idea too

When I return, if you’re lucky I will tell you all the things I saw
Cuz surely I’ll have stories that will fascinate and awe
Before I go let me tell you one thing you can know
You’ll never see what’s outside if you don’t open up the door

I’m gonna see this world like I have never seen before
I’m gonna be in this world like I have never been before


Submarine

Stop. I won’t listen.

Feeling Life - Music and Lyrics by Tom Harris
[Verse 1]
Old friends gather round the fire,
Stories rising with the flame,
Years have flown like autumn leaves,
But the laughter sounds the same.

[Verse 2] 
Children’s voices, grandkids’ eyes,
A future shining through their play,
Every smile a fleeting moment,
Don’t let it drift away.

[Pre-Chorus]
The clock keeps turning,
The days keep rolling by,
But here and now’s the treasure,
We can’t afford to hide.

[Chorus]
Feeling Life,
Every breath, every light,
Feeling Life,
Hold it close through the night,
Feeling Life,
In the laughter, in the tears,
Feeling Life,
Through the passing of the years.

[Verse 3] 
Co-workers, strangers, hands extended,
Each a lesson, each a song,
Life’s a gift that keeps unfolding,
Don’t wait ‘til it’s all gone.

[Bridge]
Don’t let time steal the moment,
Don’t let silence take your place,
Every heartbeat is a lantern,
Shining love upon your face.

[Chorus]
Feeling Life,
Every breath, every light,
Feeling Life,
Hold it close through the night,
Feeling Life,
In the laughter, in the tears,
Feeling Life,
Through the passing of the years.

[Outro]
Old friends gather round the fire,
Stories glowing in the flame,
Take this moment, hold it dearly,
Life will never be the same.

Once in a lifetime

Years I spent just searching for some restless dream in the dark of night.
Then you came into my life and brought me hope, and you became my light.
A loving word of care, a gentle touch; giving me the strength to carry on.
Rising in the east, you came to me, you’re my ever-present, bright and shining sun.

Oh, let it shine, let it shine, you’re the bright light showing me the way.
Keep on shining, keep on shining, shine.
Hear that heart, it’s mine. Let it shine, when you’re with me, night turns into day.
Keep on shining, keep on shining, shine.

You made me believe in me and gave me hope to see another day.
I can only hope I do the same for you in my own little way.
A little love is all I have to give, but giving that increases my own light.
Maybe one day when you’re feelin’ down my love can help you make it thru the night.

Oh, let it shine, let it shine, you’re the bright light showing me the way.
Keep on shining, keep on shining, shine.
Hear that heart, it's mine. Let it shine, when you’re with me, night turns into day.
Keep on shining, keep on shining, shine.

Now I know just what you mean to me, 
We compliment ourselves in every way.
And our love keeps growing deeper.  
Getting stronger, growing deeper every day.
Getting stronger, growing deeper every day.
Getting stronger, growing deeper every day.
Let it shine.


Let It Shine

While I kept living in the shadows I was missing the sun Realising far too late You were the one

If I had heard you knocking Boy I would’ve opened the door I would not have kept you Waiting anymore

It was over before I Could ask the boy to stay Mighta kept him here in front of me If I knew he’d walk away

I couldn’t see you in front of me Too blind to know we were meant to be I got a habit of finding out the hard way When I’m wrong

Thought I was stronger when I’m alone Not hurting more than I’d ever known I bet they’d tell me I’m crazy I’m not right where I belong

I’d overthink a bit, 
I’d overthink of everything Every choice I’d make 
I’d keep on questioning 
You didn’t need to worry 
‘bout my worrying No you couldn’t be certain 
I could beat uncertainty

It was over before I Could ask the boy to stay Mighta kept him here in front of me If I knew he’d walk away

I couldn’t see you in front of me Too blind to know we were meant to be I got a habit of finding out the hard way When I’m wrong

Thought I was stronger when I’m alone Not hurting more than I’d ever known I bet they’d tell me I’m crazy I’m not right where I belong

I couldn’t see you in front of me Too blind to know we were meant to be I got a habit of finding out the hard way When I’m wrong
Thought I was stronger when I’m alone Not hurting more than I’d ever known I bet they’d tell me I’m crazy I’m not right where I belong
