Live While I'm Alive 04:50
lyrics
buy track
Portraits on my bookcase, smiling down at me Sure do miss you more & more each day Tho’ you’re no longer here, your messages are clear To sing this song for someone to hear I learned for certain when you passed, There are no guarantees Will I be here for even one more day? Don’t need no one to save me, Just use these gifts God gave me Before I’m old & they all fade away Gonna live while I’m alive, doin’ more than just survive Seek my truth, let my spirit fly Gonna say what I got to say, in my own very special way Take a breath & sing out what’s inside, & live while I’m alive... While I’m alive Dreams swirling around me, I feel your love surround me With power to astound & lift my soul I wanna live - I’m gonna live So maybe as you hear this song, you’ll ask yourself too How much livin’ do I dare to do? Life’s slipping by, so get out there & try Express the dream that lives inside of you Get out & live while you’re alive, Doin’ more than just survive Seek your truth, let your spirit fly Go on & say whatcha’ got to say, In your own very special way Take a breath & sing out what’s inside, & live while your alive... while you’re alive There’s lots of time for sleepin’ later on

Addiction 04:28
lyrics

Addiction... tightly coiled around my soul, Addiction… you’re killin’ me Addiction... on the loose, outta control, Addiction… won’t let me be Can’t stop - ravenous desire Can’t stop - my brain’s on fire Can’t stop - I gotta’ get higher When will I be free? Of this... Obsession… howlin’, growlin’, deep inside, Obsession… I hear your call Compulsion… swirling, driving, evil tide, Compulsion… my back’s against the wall Can’t stop - fibbin’ & lyin’. Can’t stop - guilty alibin’! Can’t stop - so tired of tryin’, what hurts most of all… I’m blind with fear, wracked from years & years of shame Finally down to no one else to blame, for all my pain Depression... sonic doldrums in my skull, Depression... I can’t deny Destruction... mind & body, heart & soul, Destruction... I don’t wanna die Can’t stop - dancin’ with the demons Can’t stop - sleepin’ with the enemy Can’t stop - hidin’ in my secret. When will I be free? Still blind with fear, wracked from years & years of shame Finally down to no one else to blame, for all my pain... I’m out here on my own... can’t find my way back home... I’m hurtin’ to the bone... I can’t fight this thing alone God help me - please help me Redemption - lead me to a better way Redemption - please take my hand Salvation - by your grace, outta this place Salvation - to freedom’s land Now I’m - prayin’ & pleadin’ Now I’m - truly believin’ That I’ve got a slender chance To keep from going back... To my addiction… life-suckin’ addiction… Addiction... mother-fuckin’ addiction... Can this truly be? Was blind but now I see... Thank God I’m finally free… of my addiction

When You’re Far Away From Me 04:23
lyrics

I admit, last night things got a little crazy I regret I said some things I didn’t mean to say My love, I’ve got to see you right away I’m hoping we can meet sometime today ‘Cause ‘til then my heart’s so afraid That our love might fade Into a dark, distant space, a cold & lonely place When you’re far away from me, so far away Cuando estas lejos de mi… tan lejos de mi The distance... is chilling & now I’m more than willing To do all I can to get us right. Please meet me tonight Whoa-ooh, Whoa-ooh It’s getting very late - this place will soon be closing I’m starin’ out the window... suddenly see your face My love, it’s plain to see we’re meant to be I’m hoping you still feel the same as me I spy a tear in your eye, hear sadness in your sigh Holding you close to my heart Your pain’s the same as mine When you’re far away from me, so far away Cuando estas lejos de mi… tan lejos de mi When you’re far away from me, so far away So far away... so far away Now that you’re next to me, tell me you’ll stay

Well I’m wond‘rin’, where you learned to do it Wait a minute, maybe I don’t want to know ‘Specially when you get into it, Yeah, ‘specially when you take it slow Ya do it with ease, every tickle, every tease... Ya sure know how to get my juices flowin’ Ah-ooh, honey please don’t stop Ah-ooh, honey please... Feeling so glad, we’re being so bad Yeah, ‘n I like it... yes I do Climax-ical anticipation... sirens howlin’ in my head You supply the stimulation, right here on my little sofa bed An innocent kiss never wound up like this Ain’t nothing like my daddy said it would be Ah-ooh, honey please don’t stop Ah-ooh, honey please... Will I screw up this dream if I let out a scream? Aah aah aah aah... I tingle all the way to my toes! Aah aah aah aah... libido is a jumpin’, capillaries pumpin’ & we didn’t even take off our clothes Oooooooh, no no no no no no, don’t stop Ah-ooh, honey please... Feeling so glad, we’re being so bad Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, honey please don’t stop Ah-ooh, honey please... on my last dyin’ day I wanna go out this way Ah-oooh, ah-oooh, a-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh - ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh - ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Yeaaaah!

Would you join me for a nice cup of tea? Gran’ma would ask with a smile ‘Round a quarter past three She’d put on the kettle... while I got the cups And oatmeal cookies from last night, we didn’t eat up My lil’ Gran’ma, I miss you so And your sweet precious love – from so long ago That old copper kettle... it rumbled away Steamin’ up gran’ma’s glasses that brisk winter’s day Her kind, lilting voice rang out in sweet harmony As the teakettle whistled... “It’s time for tea” My lil’ Gran’ma, I miss you so And your sweet precious love – from so long ago As we’d sit & sip our tea, she’d often say to me, “Your mama had you, but you’ll always be my boy” Even though she’s gone... her loving was so strong And that sweet precious love lives on & on & on My lil’ Gran’ma, I miss you, miss you so I’ll hold you deep in my heart & never let go On cold wint’ry days – ‘round a quarter past three As downy white snow flakes fall soft & gently I’ll put on the kettle... for my grandkids & me And we’ll savor sweet precious love & a nice cup of tea

Two months since Mary Lou’s been gone, Two whole months - I can’t go on! Heavy drinkin’, druggin’, on-line gamblin’ I find, Just ain’t enough to keep her out of my mind Feelin’ this low, there’s this little place that I go It’s got music, laughter, down-home cookin’ & A cute little owner... named Flo... slingin’ Cheeseburgers, root beer & fries & crispy onion rings on the side Cheeseburgers, root beer & fries... They’re keepin’ my spirits high Oh, with no job n’ no clue n’ no Mary Lou... I’m hangin’ at Flo’s with the rest of the crew With my appetite, what else can I do? I’m never gonna’ make it on Dinty Moore stew Then luck turned my way... Flo’s chef up’d & moved away... I yelled, “Hey Flo, I’m a man who can really cook - & I can start... right away”... slingin’ Cheeseburgers, root beer & fries & those cute little onion rings on the side Cheeseburgers, root beer & fries, “Hey Flo! How ‘bout givin’ me a try?” Oh, now I’m happy as I can be... Ya see, Flo’s now married to me - we’re cooking, n’ we’re lovin’, n’ our future’s lookin’ bright n’ we’re havin’ a grand ol’ time... every night Cheeseburgers, root beer & fries, n’ Flo’s finger-lickin’ hot apple pie Cheeseburgers, root beer & fries, I’m keeping my meat tenderized, yeah Cheeseburgers, root beer & fries... With my honey pie, Flo, by my side Good cookin’ & good lovin’... they sure do satisfy... Ahoooo, yeah. Ooow!

It’s that Dark Time of Year Again 04:36
lyrics

It’s that dark time of year again Light is lean... sun is achin’ on its daily swim up stream She faintly beams her tired rays, Soon to sink ‘hind clouds... of frozen gray It’s that bitter time of year again Trees are bare... Frozen memories of a love we once shared Only God can heal my heart, Same God who’s taken you away Two eyes ain’t enough to see What this life has in store for me And how to go ‘bout livin’ day by day Two ears are too much to hear, Voices filled with doubt & fear I’m vulnerable to heartache now... This tender time is here It’s that wicked time of year again Raging soul... Poignant memories of blood & hurt & cold Howling sirens of the past Taint the fate of future’s spell... to cast Two eyes ain’t enough to see What this life has in store for me And how to go ‘bout livin’ day by day Two ears are too much to hear, Voices filled with doubt & fear I’m vulnerable to heartache now... This tender time is here This time won’t last forever... Time of darkness time of pain Seeking solace in our never-ending love... That will never change It’s that solemn time of year again Deep inside... inner light is dazzling, warm & bright Your gentle whispers kind & clear Guide me through this sacred time… of year

I want a peaceful kind of weekend, alone with you A cozy little cabin for two Somewhere to unwind, kick back the daily grind And grab a slice of solitude, a tender interlude I want a dreamy kind of weekend, alone with you A stroll along a shore of gold Red sun’s setting glow sublimely lets us know of Pleasures waiting to unfold We’ll stoke up the fire, toss some kindling on desire, Yearning mounting higher & higher Flames of warmth & chance, luminate our sweet Romance, graced ‘til dawn in nature’s primal trance It’s been a blissful kind of weekend, alone with you The kind that thrills the whole week through Perhaps I’ll buy a ring, make permanent this fling, & Spend my life in love with you Oh we’ll stoke up the fire, toss some kindling on desire, Yearning mounting higher & higher Flames of warmth & chance, luminate our sweet Romance, graced ‘til dawn in nature’s primal trance It’s been a blissful kind of weekend, alone with you The kind that thrills the whole week through Perhaps I’ll buy a ring, make permanent this fling, & spend my life in love with you

For another day - my eyes are wide open For another day - my senses can feel For another day - I’ve found a new freedom A freedom to dream again, a dream that is real For another day - no more denying For another day - my truth to reveal For another day - I’ll go on with my life Turning it over, praying to heal My way wasn’t working... I was hurtin’ through & through From now on I’m relying... a day at a time, relying on you My way wasn’t working... I was hurtin’ through & through From now on I’m relying... a day at a time, relying on you For another day - my new life has meaning For another day - my voice is my own For another day - in grace & wonder My head is at peace... my heart is at home My heart is at home... my heart is at home, yeaaah For another day

Moonlight fades, as we wake, to the morning sun While nighttime sighs her soft good-byes To the morning sun Blessed with this bright new day... God’s gift in ev’ry way To you & I, as we lie, in the morning sun Warm beams stream, our bodies gleaming In the morning sun Tantalizing, passions rising, in the morning sun Scent of your shimm’ring hair... Caress your shoulders bare Embracing all you share, in the morning sun Wrapped in golden light, sensual delight Together as we become... One You smile sweetly, I breathe deeply, day has come I’ll get coffee, as you sleep softly In the morning sun... in the morning sun In the morning sun

You Can’t Fake Love 04:31

Oh, your make believe smile, dry peck on my cheek A weary sigh, before you open your mouth... to speak Your insincere words echo in my ear Makes me feel it doesn’t even really matter if... I’m here Is this love, or just your private ‘passion play’? Sick of denyin’, time for to say... my dear You can’t fake love… even if you try, Livin’ in your lie, ya know You can’t fake love… soon it’s going to show, Everyone will know You can’t fake love… ya thinkin’ you can hide The truth you keep inside… Oh no Tryin’ my best to keep ya satisfied My pals keep sayin’, ‘What? Why the hell do ya try? Andy, whats-a-matta-witch-you? Ya crazy or some-um’?’ And no matter what I do My love ‘n me, we’re never ever gonna be Good enough... for you I’ve waited for my heart to glow, all I feel is pain And this frickin’ little voice keeps bouncin’ in my brain... & it’s sayin’ You can’t fake love… feelin’ so unreal, I know that I can’t deal with this You can’t fake love… no use to pretend, This thing has gotta end You can’t fake love… from the depths of your soul, You’re so outta control Well you can make it. You can choose it. You can take it. You can lose it. You can break it. You can bruise it. BUT… You can’t fake love Why you can feel it. You can be it. You can steal it. You can see it. You can deal it. You can plea it. BUT... You can’t fake love Why you can try it, sleaze it, buy it, tease it, Sigh it, seize it, BUT... Nooo Can’t fake love... finally you’ll know, This is not a show You can’t fake love... I’m gonna call it quits, Before I loose my wits No you can’t fake love... I’m gettin’ outta here. It’s time for me to go... You can’t fake love!

Everything’s different... everything’s changed The sun, moon & stars have been rearranged Even the sky is no longer blue Everything’s different... ‘cept how I feel about you Everything’s different... nothing is clear Lost in a maze in a haze that won’t disappear One thing’s for sure, one thing is true Everything’s different... ‘cept how I feel about you You’re gone... you left so suddenly Life will never be the same Couldn’t say a real goodbye... it’s hard to let that be I cry... whenever I hear your name Everything’s different... since you slipped away On that starless morning back in the middle of May I love you so... what will I do? Everything’s different... ‘cept how I feel about you I said no no. I said no no. I said nooo Everything’s different... everything’s changed The sun, the moon, the stars have been rearranged Even the sky is no longer blue Everything’s different... ‘cept how I feel about you Everything’s different... ‘cept how I feel about you Everything’s different... ‘cept how I feel about... you
