Last Day of School Feeling
Written August 2021
Recorded August 2021

LYRICS:
Days fade into months fade into years
Spring will come and go away
But the rainbow shines in only gray

I need an escape from the nine to five atmosphere
But set an out of office message when you leave
Using all your sick time on a holiday

Gimme that last day of school feeling
That have a great summer stay cool feeling like
Gimme that last day of school feeling
That have a great summer stay cool feeling

Give me a simpler time
Pool parties and lemonade
Cannonball, lets misbehave

When did all go wrong?
Why'd we have to throw out hats and graduate
Pour another cup, forget the whole decade  

Do you remember summer months
The way we felt alive
When did June July and August turn
Into the other nine 
I wish that every year I could just leave it all behind
And start over
But first we'll have our fun

Gimme that last day of school feeling
That have a great summer stay cool feeling 
Gimme that last day of school feeling
That have a great summer stay cool feeling …

Dreaming

Written and recorded 2018, as a lullaby for my daughter

Lyrics:
Innocence, at last we meet
In my little princess fast asleep
But are you really dreaming
When you close your eyes?

Are you really dreaming
A vivid scene
Depicting things
You've never seen yet

Or could it be revealing
In subtle ways
The memories
Of what will be instead

Like a slideshow of the future
When a smile grows on your features
Then we might just know what we share

So come and lay
The coming days bare
Awake to find 
Your mom and I are there

Close your eyes
So time flies
Preview far
Who you are

Are you really dreaming
A situation that'll make your little face fret
Do you know the feeling
Of pure delight, and sudden fright, and peace and quiet?

Or are you watching

A slideshow of the future
When a smile grows on your features
Then we might just know what we share

So come and lay
The coming days bare
Awake to find 
Your mom and I will always be there

LYRICS
Every minute
That I’m without you
Feels like a thousand
I’m crazy ‘bout you
And Every moment
That you’re not with me
Is eternity
So hurry home please

If I could spend every minute with you
That is what I would do
My heart aches when you aren’t there
If I could share every moment with you
I would follow through
Take me everywhere

Every oceanfront
Every city view
Every rising sun
Every shining moon
All the miles we run
All the time we lose
I’m always having fun
Whenever I’m with you

Every time that I leave, you know
That I’m coming home
And part of me never left
And when the minutes apart drag on
I’ll bring a part of you along
To get through whatever comes next

Every drop of rain
Every lightning storm
I will not be afraid
With my hand in yours
I’m always home
Wherever we are
But it’s like holding on
To a shooting star

If I could spend every minute with you
Like our love is brand new
My heart would thump out my chest
If I could go back to when I met you
I would never refuse
I’d do it all over again

If I could tell the whole world that “I do”
With a bride and a groom
I would always remember the day
If I could stick to somebody like glue
I would always pick you
Over and over again

If every minute just isn’t enough
For the strength of my love
I’ll wish for more
Any moment I pass alone
Is the last I hope
No more, for sure

Cause
Every minute
That I’m without you
Feels like a thousand
I’m crazy ‘bout you
And Every moment
That you’re not with me
Is eternity
So hurry home please
