Michael Drexler plays Boogie, Ragtime and Blues Piano

I never thought... we’d see each other
Just where we met, so long ago
Shy soft glances we shared back then
Repeated over with sad regrets

I can’t believe... It’s you beside me
You look just like..., so long ago
When you smiled and you talked too much
When you were nervous... it made me laugh

We both have moved on, I've got a family
There’s nothing left for us to share today
It's the way we used to be
Shadows in the past

That little spark....That made me love you
I see it's back again tonight
There not room left for me and you
and closing doors won't make it right 

So how are you? I guess you’re married
Are you still working for the company?
Never knew you at all that well 
I had a chance, but... that boat has sailed 

We used to be... so good together
It seems so many years ago
Many summers have passed us by
They Fade to brown then into grey 

We both have moved on
We both have changed our lives
We've both got loves and we've got families
It's the way we used to be
Shadows in the past

Still in the past... My heart is racing
I want it back... But I just can't.....
Everything that we used to share
It's broken now.... can't be repaired...

We both must move on
We both have changed our lives
We've both got loves and we've got families
It's the way we used to be
Shadows in the past

I have to go
I need to go
It was so nice ..But oh
It's the way that we used to be
Shadows in the past

Shadows In The Past (EP - Hopes and Dreams)

A pulsing synth, lost guitar, droning strings and heavy contrabass chords create the palette for some menacing and oppressive sounds.

Gadarene

Revised- I tried to make something beautiful.  'Pretty Pink Flowers' is that song.  It has an asian sound to it and uses hauntingly beautiful choir vocals, violins, flutes and other woodwinds, and arpy piano chords.  I hope you like it as much as I do.  Thanks for listening.

Pretty Pink Flowers

Original composition.... Alejandro Gonzalez M.
