LOSER'S BAR

THESE EYES

Streetlights still glow where the old sidewalks run,
But faces have faded, the voices are gone.
The café on Main’s got a new coat of paint,
Yet somehow it don’t feel the same.

The hands on the clock keep their usual spin,
Erasing the places where we used to grin.
The jukebox still hums, but it plays different tunes,
Guess nothing stays old for too soon.

Oh, time walks ahead in a brand-new parade,
Leaving behind all the plans that we made.
Try stepping back, but it’s no use—
Can’t go too far in yesterday’s shoes.

Oh, I tip my hat to the days that have passed,
They whisper and wave but don’t ever look back.

Oh, time walks ahead in a brand-new parade,
Leaving behind all the plans that we made.
Try stepping back, but it’s no use—
Can’t go too far in yesterday’s shoes.

Yesterday's Shoes

The moonlight still dances where footsteps once fell,
Soft as a whisper, too faint now to tell.
The melody lingers, a song in the air,
Carried by echoes of moments we shared.

The stars know the story, they’ve heard it before,
Shadows still waltzing across the old floor.
A hand in the darkness, then gone with the tide,
Yet something remains where memories reside.

Soft as a sigh on a warm summer breeze,
Falling like leaves from the tall autumn trees.
Time turns the pages, but still in between,
The traces of laughter, the glow of a dream.

The clock keeps on ticking, the world spins along,
Yet deep in the quiet still plays our old song.

Soft as a sigh on a warm summer breeze,
Falling like leaves from the tall autumn trees.
Time turns the pages, but still in between,
The traces of laughter, the glow of a dream.

When We Danced

I see the way the sunlight finds you
Golden glow in everything you do
It’s not just the way you move, the way you smile
It’s the way you light the world a little while

Every word, every glance
Like a song, like a dance

You shine, you shine, like morning light
Like waves that catch the silver night
No mirror shows the way I see
You’re beautiful, so endlessly

It’s in the way your laughter lingers
Soft as air, light as river shimmers
Even when you don’t believe
There’s a glow you leave in everything

Every word, every glance
Like a song, like a dance

You shine, you shine, like morning light
Like waves that catch the silver night
No mirror shows the way I see
You’re beautiful, so endlessly

You shine, you shine, like morning light
Like waves that catch the silver night
No mirror shows the way I see
You’re beautiful, so endlessly

You shine, you shine
Always, always, in my eyes

You Shine

Springtime waltzes on ribbons of gold,
Soft as a promise, young and bold.
Summer comes laughing, so sure, so bright,
But even the longest days fade into night.

Oh, round and round, the seasons go,
Snowfall melts where roses grow.
Time hums a tune, sweet yet strange,
Nothing stays when the seasons change.

Autumn whispers, the leaves bow low,
Dressed in their finest before they go.
Winter stands waiting, quiet and wise,
Watching the world through silver skies.

Oh, round and round, the seasons go,
Snowfall melts where roses grow.
Time hums a tune, sweet yet strange,
Nothing stays when the seasons change.

So lift a glass and tip your hat,
To all that goes… and all comes back.

Seasonal Waltz

Christmas's Here

[Verse 1]
Finnegan's lights were dim that night
When the engineer met his match
Eyes half-mast between appetizers
She wondered if he'd had a batch
"Is he flying high or just plain tired?"
As he nodded at the table there
Mozzarella sticks she wouldn't share
Set the tone for decades to share

[Chorus]
Forty-one years of rocket plans and camera flashes
Farm girl and city boy building their dream
From Jersey to Georgia, they've weathered all seasons
The artist and engineer, the perfect team

[Verse 2]
She moved north instead of south
He built additions to their house
From mother-in-law to home office
Hot tubs where they could roam
Doctor Mario on the NES
Uno games with water guns
The pranks and laughter never stopped
Their adventure had just begun

[Bridge]
Ten years apart in age
A lifetime close in heart
He works with missiles and math
She turns fabric into art
From sleepy dates to wedding bells
In just three months, they knew
What some take years to figure out
Their love was tried and true

[Verse 3]
Swedish meatballs on the table
No more lies about the food
Velour shirts and cream-white dresses
Their wedding simple, true, and good
From possums to cats to birds and bears
No creature turned away
Their home a haven built with love
Growing stronger every day

[Outro]
So here's to Michael and Alice
Forty-one years and counting still
From mozzarella stick standoffs
To a mountain home on Georgia's hill
Happy Anniversary to you both
With fifty years just 'round the bend
Your love story's still being written
The best chapters yet to begin
