I Will Not Disturb You Unless I Can Be Your Man 
©2021 by Samuel Franklin Reynolds, Jr. 

I reached out to see you 
Will you take a chance 
Long ago and far away and thoroughly outclassed 
I’ll not try to touch you, no more than a glance 
I will not disturb you unless I can be your man 

Tell me you would see me
You will take that chance 
You will hold me close again like we first knew romance 
Hoping you will realize more so as we dance 
That you can be my lady and I will be your man 

If I could fly the world would be looking at you 
If I would die the world’d still be looking at you 
Can’t you see 
Can’t you see

Only One
by Samuel Franklin Reynolds, Jr. © 2013

You asked me if you'll be the only one
If you'll be the only one that
I'll ever need

And it's dawned on me that I'm not the only one
No, I'm not the only only one that
You'll ever need

When our lives were just an open book
So tenderly we filled the pages
with memories to last the ages
So we felt, so we believe

Not knowing how the story'd end
So earnestly we gripped our pencils
and scratching line and line again
We always felt we'd find a way 
to never have to write the ending

Steel Town
©2021 by Samuel Franklin Reynolds, Jr.

On the day I was born there was snow on the ground
Fire in the sky and smoke all around
Proud men making all manner of things with their hands
Sparks in their eyes and sparks in the air

I don’t know what day it was the fires burned out
I don’t know when the working people left this town
But so it was, so it was, that the air was fit to breathe 
That day in May 1983

I don’t want it, I don’t need it
I’ve been fooled, my family’s bleeding
Pockets full of union money don’t go far for prideful people

I don’t know what day it was the fires burned out
I don’t know when the working people left this town
But so it was, so it was, that the air was fit to breathe 
That day in May 1983

One In A Million Girl ©2021 by Samuel Franklin Reynolds, Jr. 

You look fine, finer than a woman should be
You're all mine, you prove it so indelicately

You're a one in a million, one in a million girl
You're my one in a million, one in a million girl

You're on fire, hotter than a lady should be
You're on time, and time is so important to me

You're a one in a million, one in a million girl
You're my one in a million, one in a million girl

When the sun slips down 
You're the one who is here beside me
When the night lights up
You're the only one I see

You're so fine, you give me everything that I need
I admire the way you're sneaky peeking at me

You're a one in a million, one in a million girl
You're my one in a million, one in a million girl
You're a one in a million, one in a million girl
You're my one in a million, one in a million girl

(My Obituary:)
Ba Ba Hoo, Ba Ba Hoo, Ooh
Ba Ba Hoo, Ba Ba Hoo, Ooh

Yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yeah  
Yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yeah 

Yi, yi, who 
Yi, yi, who
Yi, yi, who 
Yi, yi, who 

All together now ...   

Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yeah 
Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yeah

A Song For You (Für Dich) © 2010 by Oliver Fechter, Samuel Franklin Reynolds, Jr. and Andreas Straka

Maybe you’re right, thinking our love would change
Imperfectly timed, now separate and drifting away

I don’t want to say
I don’t want to do 
I don’t want to blame this on you

I don’t want to write a song for everyday
I don’t want to write a song anew 
I don’t want to write a song for every place 
I just want to write a song for you

Baby, take flight, imagine you’re with me again 
Perfectly right, just like you never left

I don’t want to say
I don’t want to do 
I don’t want to blame this on you

I don’t want to write a song for everyday
I don’t want to write a song anew 
I don’t want to write a song for every place 
I just want to write a song for you

Living Without You © 2019 Samuel Franklin Reynolds, Jr.

Living without you, the hardest part
Of living without you
Is without your heart

And I can’t unsay the things I said to you.

Loving without you, the hardest part
Of loving without you
Is where to start

And I can’t undo the things I did

I could fly, holding my head up.
Say a prayer, see where it lands.
Or pretend that this is the end of
All I ever wanted, remain forever haunted.

Doing the Tango Everyday
© 2013 Samuel Franklin Reynolds, Jr.

I dialed your number
I'll follow you down
So, you're having a slow day?
I'll be around

Your parents would like me 
I know what to say
They know we're doing the tango
Everyday

If you want to walk away
Then just say
Bear the shame
It if you want to save some face
It's too late
You've been laid
You've been made
And we're circling around the block again.

I Won't Say Goodbye
© 2013 Samuel Franklin Reynolds, Jr.

You called my phone I picked it up
You didn't know what time it was
I didn't care, I only knew that you could
Find me here tonight

You called my home I picked it up
You didn't care what time it was
I was to blame, I was ashamed that you could
Find me there tonight

And I was in love
"I" wasn't enough
And no one sees but I won't say goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye

I Won't Say Goodbye © 2013 Samuel Franklin Reynolds, Jr.

Breakdown
© 2013 by Samuel Franklin Reynolds, Jr.

It's buried way down here
And, you know, I have no reason to fear it
It's a take down
And I break down
We have no reason to fight it
It's a force, it's a feeling ignited
It's a take down
It's a breakdown

If we could have just what we want it to be
Would it exist for all time?
Into eternity?
If it could speak what would we want it to say?
Would it speak words from our hearts?
Or utter words that betray?

We buried it way down here
Live each day with every reason to fear it
It's a take down and we break down
We had no reason to fight it
Walked away far too afraid to ignite it
It's our take down
Colossal breakdown.

If it could live
What would we want it to say?
That we exist for all time
Abiding as one all our days?
If we could have just what we want it to be
Would it exist for all time?
Into eternity?

If The World Should End Tomorrow
© 2012 Samuel Franklin Reynolds, Jr.

How can we stand to hurt one another?
I don't see why true lovers do
And if we stand to hurt one another
I don't know what I'd say to you

In every sky a new day's dawning
with one I'm blessed to spend with you
If the world should end tomorrow 
I know what I would do

We don't pretend to love one another
I don't know why true lovers do
And if we pretend to love one another
I couldn't make sweet love to you

In every sky a new day's dawning
with one I'm blessed to spend with you
If the world should end tomorrow 
I know what I would do
I know what I would do

Cinnamon baby's 'bout to put down her pen and cry
Lover after lover her heart’s been cast asunder, she writes 
But she’s just fine I swear she’s just fine 

Cinnamon baby's 'bout to lay down her head and sigh
All the little heiresses are firmly turned against her, she cries
But she’s just fine I swear she’s just fine 

We left our little mark on the world 
You redrew it when you let that swine in your curls 
I believed I would never lose my Cinnamon girl 
To anyone, any day, anyhow, anyway, 
No, I’d never lose my Cinnamon baby. 

Cinnamon had a little lamb her fleece was white as snow 
Never lose my Cinnamon baby 
And everywhere that Cinnamon went her lamb was sure to go 
Never lose my Cinnamon baby.

Never lose my Cinnamon.

These are original songs waiting to be recorded by an aspiring star who is willing to share the wealth with this songwriter, who still strives to write the world's greatest love song.
