My Trail Blazer

from the Musical "Aspects of Love"
Cover version by Terence Guillermo

Anything But Lonely
ASPECTS OF LOVE

Anything but lonely,
Anything but empty rooms.
There's so much in life to share --
What's the sense when no one else is there?

Anything but lonely,
Anything but only me.
Quiet years in too much space:
That's the thing that's hard to face,
And ...

You have a right to go,
But you should always know
That I won't be alone for long.
Long days with nothing said
Are not what lie ahead --
I'm sorry, but I'm not that strong.

Anything but lonely,
Anything but passing time.
Lonely's what I'll never be,
While there's still some life in me,
And ...

I'm still young, don't forget,
It isn't over yet --
So many hearts for me to thrill.
If you're not here to say
How good I look each day,
I'll have to find someone who will.

Anything but lonely,
Anything but empty rooms.
There's so much in life to share --
What's the sense when no one else is there ...?

What's the sense when no one else is there ...?

Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again COVER

Cover version of Terence Guillermo
of the Song You're Still You

YOURE STILL YOU

Through the darkness 
I can see your light 
And you will always shine 
And I can feel your heart in mine 
Your face I've memorized 
I idolize just you 

I look up to 
Everything you are 
In my eyes you do no wrong 
I've loved you for so long 
And after all is said and done 
You're still you 
After all 
You're still you 

You walk past me 
I can feel your pain 
Time changes everything 
One truth always stays the same 
You're still you 
After all 
You're still you 

I look up to 
Everything you are 
In my eyes you do no wrong 
And I believe in you 
Although you never asked me to 
I will remember you 
And what life put you through 

And in this cruel and lonely world 
I found one love 
You're still you 
After all 
You're still you 


You're Still You COVER

from the musical "Company"
here's a Cover of the song "Being Alive"

Being Alive
COMPANY

Somebody, hold me too close,
Somebody, hurt me too deep,
Somebody, sit in my chair
And ruin my sleep, and make me aware
Of being alive, being alive.

Somebody, need me too much,
Somebody, know me too well,
Somebody, pull me up short
And put me through hell
And give me support for being alive, 
Make me alive, make me alive.

Make me confused, mock me with praise,
Let me be used, vary my days.
But alone is alone, not alive.

Somebody, crowd me with love,
Somebody, force me to care,
Somebody, make me come through,
I'll always be there, as frightened as you,
To help us survive 
Being alive, being alive, being alive!


Being Alive

from the musical "Jekyll and Hyde,"
here's the cover of the song "Someone Like You"

Someone Like You
JEKYLL AND HYDE

I peered through windows, watched life go by,
Dream of tomorrow, but stayed inside

The past is holding me, Keeping life at bay,
I wandered lost in yesterday, Wanting to fly -
But scared to try.

Then someone like you, found someone like me,
And suddenly, Nothing is the same!

My heart would take wing, and I'd feel so alive -
’Cause someone like you found me!

Its like you took my dreams, made each one real
You reached inside of me and made me feel
And now I see a world I’ve never seen before
Your love has opened every door
You’ve set me free, now I can soar

For someone like you found someone like me,
You touched my heart, nothing is the same 
There’s a new way to live, a new life to love,
’Cause someone like you found me!

Oh, someone like you found someone like me,
And suddenly nothing will ever be the same!

My heart’s taken wing, And I feel so alive -
’Cause someone like you loves me...
Loves me
