Lay It All Down
by Michael B. Short © 2014

I admire your playing
Alone upon the stage there
No one here is listening
They're talking sports and day care
I've got this table to myself
And I hear every song
Will you play one for me

Chorus
Sing one 
That's soft and slow
Sweet and low
That no one knows
That reaches
Deep inside
Where my heart hides
And no one goes
Lay it all down
Lay it all down 
For me

My heart's been packed on ice
Even I don't visit
Frozen solid to stop the pain
No way to live life, is it?
Is there a song that you can sing
Born of deep despair
Will you play it for me

Chorus

If I can't stop the tears that's good, right?
If I hide my face and cry all night

Chorus

Lay It All Down

A song from 10 Years 2Late.  Lyrics by Vicki G. Schlierer, Music by Michael B. Short

Another Valentine's
by Michael B. Short © 2015

Another Valentine's
I didn't get a card for you
I didn't see the point
After all this time
I walk a fragile line
Between romantic memories
And where we are today
An uphill climb

Chorus
I only came
To bring a single rose for you
But I won't stay
There is nothing I can do
I knew you wouldn't mind
On another Valentine's

Another Valentine's
Romantic candlelight and you
Carafe of Chardonnay
Your hand in mine
Shining in your eyes
I clearly see the way you feel
We make our promises
And sip our wine

Bridge
The wind whips up from the river
And curls its way between the granite stones
This reminds me of that day in winter
When I knew that I would spend my life alone
I pull my collar tight
Hunch my shoulders too
Was it the wind that caused these tears
Or my memories of you

Chorus

Another Valentine's

A track off 2Late's debut album, rerecorded, remixed and remastered.

Desperation (One Last Chance)

2Late ends nearly every performance with this fun track from their second album, Just 2Late.

Up And Run

A theme song for 2017? We often wish things were different and we could go back in time and fix them.
