Wilsen - "Magnolia"

Take Your Best Shot

Lyric & Music: Kevin Reardon                                                                                                                                                

Verse:  
I miss you now … on the road tonight
The only thing I want … is just to hold you tight. 
I thought I could fill our lives up with my greatest hopes and dreams
But it’s empty here … and the loneliness just screams …  

Chorus: 
It all comes down to love … and for me … your love means everything  
It all comes down to love … ‘cause I finally see … you are all I need
It all comes down to love 

Verse:  
To have and hold … through good and bad  
Those words give me strength … remind me what I have
Out here in this big ol’ world, what I’ve been searching for
Was always waiting there … behind that front porch door

Chorus: 
It all comes down to love … and for me … your love means everything  
It all comes down to love … ‘cause I finally see … you are all I need
It all comes down to love 

Bridge:  
This job’s been what I’ve lived for… in a world that steals our soul
Everything is nothing …until we really know…

Chorus: 
It all comes down to love … and for me … your love means everything  
It all comes down to love … ‘cause I finally see … you are all I need
It all comes down to love 

It all comes down to love.

All Comes Down To Love

Lyric & Music: Kevin Reardon  

Verse
They say time can stand still down in Mexico
I never knew it until I met her and held her close 
Didn’t go there to find love; I loved only my dream of fortune and fame  
And thought time moved too slow, ‘til I went down to Mexico 

Chorus
Cities of gold and all that they hold 
Can blind us from seeing what matters the most
But in Mexico, hearts seem to know    
That love beats a rhythm that speaks to the soul; but I couldn’t let go 

Verse
They say truth cannot hide from the light down in Mexico
But I tried to deny what I knew in my heart and so …  
I left her ‘cause I held on to that dream she could never have shared 
Guess that’s how it goes for a fool down in Mexico

Chorus
Cities of gold and all that they hold 
Can blind us from seeing what matters the most
But in Mexico, hearts seem to know    
That love beats a rhythm that speaks to the soul; oh, why did I go?

Verse
I heard there’s a line you must cross down in Mexico 
To separate love from life and accept what the truth unfolds
I went back there to find her and we kissed as we crossed hand-in-hand 
And love overflowed in the waters of Mexico  
Thought I’d lost her when I reached for a dream she could never have shared 
But the truth is my dream was still waiting in Mexico
And she said “Now, you’re home here in Mexico”

Mexico

Love Don't Come With A Parachute

Lyric & Music: Kevin Reardon  

Verse
There’s no snow upon the ground but there’s a sparkle this time of year
Palm trees sway and glisten in the moonlight, as people laugh with holiday cheer
Luminaries abound; their candles flicker in a row 
This will be a desert Christmas just like Christmas long ago 

Verse
On this silent, holy night, friends and family come to share
Giving thanks and praise like the Magi did; their gifts are wrapped with love and care 
High above a star so bright shines its light on every home 
This will be a desert Christmas just like Christmas long ago 

Bridge
Against the twinkling starry sky, you can hear a coyote call 
A desert dove lifts into flight; the sign of peace for one and all

Verse
There’s no snow upon the ground but the magic’s everywhere, and so …
This will be a desert Christmas just like Christmas long ago 

Outro
This will be a desert Christmas just like Christmas long ago

Wilsen - "Oblivion" (Grimes cover)

Lyric & Music: Kevin Reardon

Verse 
Bing bong – the church clock chimes play a holiday song – sweet and low
Ding-a-ling – the jingle of sleigh bells ring as they wing across the snow
In town – the streets are decked out all around with glittery trim
At last – the yuletide season has come to pass; once again   

Chorus
Its Christmas time; children’s laughter fills the air
Faces lit with smiles; caring, sharing everywhere
Christmas time brings thanks and joy to life 
Hope and peace and a holiday feast make the season bright at Christmas time  

Verse 
Yum Yum – the gingerbread cookies are almost done – they smell so nice 
Whoopee – Daddy puts the star on the top of the tree – and lights the lights  
Up above – the stars in the night shine down with love – make your wish! 
Ho-ho-ho – Santa’s on his way through the sky he goes – lickety-split

Chorus
Its Christmas time; children’s laughter fills the air
Faces lit with smiles; caring, sharing everywhere
Christmas time brings thanks and joy to life 
Hope and peace and a holiday feast make the season bright at Christmas time 

Bridge
Good friends and family come together 
Near or far, they’re in our hearts; another year to remember

Chorus
Its Christmas time; children’s laughter fills the air
Faces lit with smiles; caring, sharing everywhere
Christmas time brings thanks and joy to life 
Hope and peace and a holiday feast make the season bright at Christmas time  
Its Christmas time; its Christmas time
