Hope is like a friend I can lean on
Faith knows how to keep me warm
Love is everybody who calls me a friend
Love is how I weather the storm
Send me love.

Every day we all need to wake up
Face the day and put on a smile
Put one foot in front of the other
Make it through another mile

Send me love
And give me a reason to rise up
Send me love
Nothing’s gonna stop me, if everybody’s sending love

Sometimes I got too many bills to pay
I wonder how I’ll make ends meet
Money isn’t what’s gonna make my day
But if you want to send me what I need…

CHORUS - Break

Hope is like a friend I can lean on
Faith knows how to keep me warm
Love is what we do for each other
Love is everybody who sings this song

Sending Love

02 Sending Love

I wake up to the sound of a bird
Singin’ outside my window
The sun is bright and a warm breeze blows in
From the Great South Bay
We could stay right here, crack an ice cold beer
Kick back & watch the grass grow
‘Cause it’s another perfect L.I. summer Sunday.

Or we could head out east & taste some wine
Pick fresh grapes right off the vine
Eat a picnic lunch, with a homegrown bottle of chardonnay
Or hit Port Jeff & just walk around
Baby, watch the sun set over the sound
‘Cause it’s another perfect L.I. summer Sunday.

It doesn’t matter….. Which way you drive
Nothing is out of reach
If you ask me, my favorite place
Is right here on this beach
So call your boss & break the news
There’ll be no work on Monday
‘Cause it’s another perfect L.I. summer Sunday.

We could drive on up to Woodstock
Or take a train into the city
Take a ride to Montauk
Let the lighthouse guide our way
As long as we’re together girl
This island, sure looks pretty
It’s just another perfect L.I. summer Sunday.

LI Summer Sunday

01 LI Summer Sunday

You gave me your hand
I gave you my word
It's all that we had at that time
I said I'd be yours
For the rest of my life
You said that you'd always be mine

All these years later
I know what I heard
And I never doubted
That you'd keep your word
All these years later
Others drift apart
If we get any closer,
We could share one heart
All these years later.

Life rolls slowly past
Twisting and turning
Always a bump in the road
Your love keeps me strong
The fire's still burning
Togetherness lightens the load.

All these years later
I know what I see
Family all around us
Built by you & me
All these years later
Love respect and pride
Passion pain and purpose,
Nothing left to hide
All these years later.

Declarations of our love
Generations of our blood
Inspiration from above.

All These Years Later

You were the last I’d expect to wave the flag man
What happened to the long hair playing in a rock band?
Hot shit, free spirit, peace-time hideout
Look in the mirror, tell me what you find out.

We all know your reasons are far less noble
Than running to the aid of a country in trouble

So let’s tell the world where our fighting men come from
They come from the city and the suburbs and the small towns
Fresh outta high school, girlfriends in prom gowns
Looking for some answers, getting only put down.

Have you traded in your dreams
For some boots and khaki greens?
Or was this just a breather on the way?
I can tell you how it seems
But only you know what it means
Will you live to play another day?
Will you live to sing and play another day?

Wave The Flag

I let you me take me up the mountain
Just so you could drag me down
You know just how to build a man up
Or make him foolish like a clown
You’re evil to the bone, I wanna take you home

You got me wrapped around your finger
Duct taped, blinded, gagged and bound
Your face may be that of an angel
You got the blackest heart in town
You’re evil to the bone, I still wanna take you home

~bridge~
(Shame on you) Can’t get you out of my head
(Shame on you) For wearin’ that little black dress
(Shame on you) And your evil black heart
I gave you mine and you ripped it apart

~verse 3~

It’s Friday night you draw the curtain
You fix your lips as the sun goes down
Girl I know one thing for certain
You got the blackest heart in town
You’re evil to the bone, I wanna take you home
Got the blackest heart in town, draggin’ me back down
So evil to the bone, I still wanna take you home
I’m foolish like a clown for the blackest heart in town.

Blackest Heart In Town

You said it'd be a journey
You said it'd be a roller coaster
I couldn't look you in the eye
I couldn't see past my next bit of misery

Then you showed me how
Even when I said I didn't care
Decisions to be made
I couldn't fathom them at all

The pain inside was buried so deep
I couldn't see past my own deeds
I worked so long and hard trying to fill that void
Till I couldn't feel anything at all.

Then you took me in
Gave me strength to be my crazy self
I saw that you could feel and understand cause you've been there yourself

We'll reach out our hands
Let them know that they're not alone
The only way to reach it
The only way to keep it
Is to keep on reaching out
And give it away.

Day by day we're doing our best
Taking what we need
And leaving all the rest
And for those walking through that door
Another journey can begin.

Then you showed me how
Even when I said I wasn't sure
I saw that you could feel and understood
"Cause you'd been there before

We'll reach out our hands
Let them know that they're not alone
The only way to reach it
The onlty way to teach it
Is to keep on reaching out
And give it away
Just give it away.

Give It Away

You know you've always been my best time
My walkin' talkin' ray of sunshine
Then one day just like two birds of a feather
We flew off together

My dad said "girl you know he's all wrong"
I said "Hey pops I've got my own song"
And just like that you know those church bells were ringing
I started singing

I told you
I told you
In my heart and soul I would always hold you
I shout it to the moon
I shout it to the starts
I want the world to know you're in my heart

I love it when we're walking hand in hand
And how you let me know I'm your man
I know I'm one lucky guy
And you're the reason why.

You know our life has been so wonderful
All around us I see beautiful
Let me tell ya girl
What we've build together
Wil sure last forever

I told you
I told you
In my heart and soul I would always hold you
I shout it to the moon
I shout it to the starts
I want the world to know you're in my heart

When you told me that you had to go
We made the most of every single moment
Even now I never feel alone
You're always with
And I'll always know that

I told you
I told you
In my heart and soul I would always hold you
I shout it to the moon
I shout it to the starts
I want the world to know you're in my heart

I Told You

I’m stakin’ a claim to an angel
Stakin’ a claim to a dream
Playing my cards as straight as I can
Don’t ever want to make it seem
Like I’m sneakin’ around, peekin’ around,
Leakin’ out things that shouldn’t be leaked out’s what I mean

If you wanna keep an angel always by your side
The devil inside’s gotta come clean

I don’t know why she wants me
Don’t see what she sees
The thought of losing her haunts me
But she says that could never be
Now I’m wheelin’ about, reelin’ about,
Feeling just about as good as a man’s got a right to feel

If you wanna keep an angel always by your side
The devil inside’s gotta get real


I dressed my love in doubts
Leaving her to work things out
Surrounded by storm, she somehow held on
Teaching me what love’s about
Though broken apart, she gave me her heart, an angel’s heart.

I’m checking my watch on the subway
I see her watching me
A bit of small talk and “Have a nice day”
Rememberin’ to let it be
Now I’m turnin’ around, turnin’ ‘em down
Learning how to stand my ground in the name of fidelity
(And it ain’t easy!)

If you wanna keep an angel always by your side
The devil inside’s gotta come clean
If you wanna keep an angel always by your side
The devil inside’s gotta get real
