I Will Shake Your Hand - Emily Gray

All Those Days

Ava Lyrics By Texo Carmen

Lyrics by Carroll Kiphen and Tommy L. Day 

(Verse)
There you are looking so pretty. 
With your blonde hair and blue eyes. 
Here you are teasing my senses. 
Sitting down close by my side.

(Verse)
Here you are looking so lovely.
In your red dress and high heels.
I can’t help but second guessing
You loving me could be real.

(Chorus) 
You’re too good, you’re too good.
Too good to be true.

(Verse)
Girl you know just what to say now 
You know what I like to hear 
You tell me that you’re gonna stay now 
Everything seems so very clear 

(Instrumental verse) 

(Chorus) 
You’re too good, you’re too good.
Too good to be true.

(Bridge)
My friends all told me that you were bad news. 
They said you were a ten and I was a two.
I told them that they had misunderstood 
‘Cos you’re too good, too good to be true.

(Verse) 
There you are looking so happy
With your white dress and bouquet.
You’re walking down the aisle
But it’s not my lucky day 

(Verse)
To you I was just a fling, girl 
A way to get in his head 
You always planned on going back  
My friends were right when they said 

(Chorus)
You’re too good, you’re too good.
Too good to be true

Too Good To Be True

Endless Night. KRAKEL

PROGRAM NOTE
Overtures often come before operas or other large works. In this case, Slightly Comic Overture is a stand-alone piece—in the spirit of an overture—but more a free agent and not attached to anything else. It is my first orchestral work, and was inspired by the music of Leonard Bernstein and animated film composers such as Carl Stalling, and to a lesser extent, music by Aaron Copland, Béla Bartók, and Alfred Schnittke. Since I composed it when I was fairly young, I decided to revise it, with the hope that anything that I updated would only enhance or clarify everything and not change the nature of what I originally composed, or cause it to lose its youthful spirit. In this sense, Slightly Comic Overture is really a sort of hybrid: an intermingling of youthful exuberance with maturity, and a few colorful, more serious moments with others that are more humorous and playful. Slightly Comic Overture is dedicated to Peter Bay and the Mostly Modern Festival.

Slightly Comic Overture (for Orchestra)

lyrics
The sky, it’s on fire
The hot wind blows
There’s trouble in the canyon tonight
Fear, dread, and forebode
Smoke chokes the air
A perilous glow
If it keeps coming my way
I’ll lose all that I own
Devil’s crispy evening stroll
Hell’s furnace on a roll
The dog’s freaking out
The horses snort and grown
Honey please take the kids now and keep to the road
The fire’s on ridge
There goes our neighbor’s home
Devil’s tongue lashing the brush
Trees seem to explode
Devil’s crispy evening stroll
Hellfire on a roll
Devil’s crispy evening stroll
Hell’s furnace on a roll
It’s closing on me fast
I hosed down our home
Hot embers swarming my head
Like hornets from a hole
The flames are on me now
I really got to go
Will I have a house at sunrise
Or rubble still aglow
Devil’s crispy evening stroll
Hellfire on a roll

Wildfire Blues (the Sky, Its On Fire)

this song will steal your entire soul out of your body. Unless you cover your ears on the chorus (it's the bit in made-up Aramaic)
