Name: No One Can Say (feat. Doug Moore) by Paul Charbonneau
Duration: 3 min 37 s
Description: A simple love song, written when I was 17, brought to life after 44 years. Originally played on acoustic guitar, I’ve always imagined it recorded like this. Thanks to cellist Artem Litovchenko for his artistry.

Take me down
Throw me around
Cut me in half with your sharp tongue

You're under my skin
I'm cavin in as you
Suck all the air out of my lungs

But it's nothin new, nothin old
No story that
Ain't been told
So I won't say a thing tonight

You're a shooting star
But I wish you'd put the gun down
You're a work of art but I can't
Get close enough to touch now

Whenever we drive
Those searchin eyes are always
Stuck behind in the rearview

Are you afraid
Some rainy day
Your past might pull up behind you

But it's nothin new, nothin old
No story that
Ain't been told
So I won't say a thing tonight

You're a shooting star
But I wish you'd put the gun down
You're a work of art but I can't
Get close enough to touch now
You're an angel on earth
So now the lines are all blurred
You're a dream
And I can't wake up, I can't wake up

I don't want to
I don't want to
But I'm stuck on you
I don't want to
I don't want to

I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to
I'm stuck on you
Oh I'm stuck on you

Cumberland Coal (Original)

Hi there, 

I’m a music lover, plain and simple. Growing up in the 70s, I was highly influenced by songwriters of that era - Dan Fogelberg, Jim Croce, Don McLean, John Denver, Harry Chapin - to name a few; there were so many. I listened to pretty much all genres and I still do today. 

I started writing songs for guitar at the age of seventeen when I fell in love with my wife, Phyllis. We’ve been married now for 40+ years; she inspires me in some way ever day. 

“My hands no longer take command of the strings I love to play, still the melodies that flow can take me back to yesterday”

In 2020, I blew the dust off my Fender acoustic and started to play again only to find that too much rust had formed over 40 years. So I turned my passion to writing and now I enjoy hiring musicians and vocalists from all around the world to help bring my music alive. 

Thanks for your interest. I hope my songs touch you in a special way; that’s the measurement of success I apply to my music. 

Paul
