Any Other Name

Take a page from the Bard and write a sonnet or two
To Profess my everlasting love or you
I'll call for pen and ink and write my mind
why are the words so hard to find
If I didn't know you name , I'd love you just the same
A Rose is still a Rose by any other name
Speak low if you speak of love
Come and whisper what your thinking of
The course of true love never did run smooth
But I'm glad to be on the ride with you
If I didn't know you name , I'd love you just the same
A Rose is still a Rose by any other name
love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind
my thought you are so sweet and fine
And if music be the food of love , play on
and let my gift to you be my song
If I didn't know you name , I'd love you just the same
A Rose is still a Rose by any other name

Bells of St. Mary's
03:55

The bells of saint Mary's were ringing loud and clear and echoed though these frozen streets for everyone hear
And did I say I loved you., as you headed out the door, just another morning like a thousand ones before
But I can't move on
Or try to be strong
You only danced upon this earth for a while
You held my hand and you made me smile
I use to tuck you in for sleep
But now at night all I do is weep
I can not sleep
And the bells of Saint Mary's are ringing in. My ears , and chime once for every life that we held so dear
For me to say I miss you , can not start to describe , the hole that is left without you by my side
But I can't move on
Or try to be strong
You only danced upon this earth for a while
You held my hand and you made me smile
Every thing in your room is in it's place
And when I close my eyes I see your face
I see your face
And the bells of saint Mary's will still echo in. My ears

I'm rolling through
life trying to stay out of trouble
A G E
keeping all four wheels on the ground .
E
Driving down the road with my eyes straight ahead
A G E
Then I find myself spinning around
D A BMW open G E
I've got the Sliding on the black. ice blues ..
I Just grabbing the wheel and turn into the spin
Holding my breath like I'm going to drown
I'm Trying everything to make all right
but I know that I'm going down ..
I've got the Sliding on the black ice blues ..
I was Rolling down Minnesota 52
It was clear as far as I could see
Now I am laying upside down in a ditch
with a snow bank next to me
I've got the Sliding on the black ice blues ..
In the Road of life you never know what to expect
something may hit you from out of the blue
You might find yourself spinning out of control
just hold on till the ride is thru .
when you've got Sliding on the black ice blue

Can't Stop this Train
04:14
|

open 2nd cap slide
I see the warning signs up ahead
and the lights start flashing red
Arms swinging down to block the road
to say that we got troubles ahead
Our hearts beat faster as we start picking up steam
It's too late to get off the tracks if you know what I mean
Baby we can't stop this train .
Were stoking the coals till they glow red hot
and the pressure up to all she's got
It's balls to the wall and full steam ahead
and I hope there is nothing we forgot
Our hearts beat faster as we start picking up steam
It's too late to get off the tracks if you know what I mean
Baby we can't stop this train .
well There's some real smooth curves running down this track
as the sweat rolls down my back
As we pull into the station that whistle blows
and there is nothing that this ride lacks .
but there's no turning back
Our hearts beat faster as we start picking up steam
It's too late to get off the tracks if you know what I mean
Baby we can't stop this train .
In the heat of the moment on a nice cool night
when everything felt all right
I went on a trip and picked up some luggage
that I have to carry for life
because Our heart were beating
faster as we started picking up steam
It was too late to get off the tracks and you know what I mean
we couldn't stop that train .

Color Your Life
04:23
|

|
Green of trees, Blue of Sky, a Yellow Bee Buzzes by
Look all around you at the colors that you see,
what colors do you have for me
Darling, Darling what are you going to do,
you know the choices are are up to you
Well it’s not easy and it’s never black and white,
and the choices you make color your life
So take that first step and dip into some blues,
Or maybe Red’s a better color for you
There’s more then a rainbow on the pallet that you use
As you finger-paint your life with the colors that you chose.
Pink of skin, Brown of hair, Pretty green eyes they just stare
If you worry and fret all you’ll get is regret,
you got to get your fingers wet
You know sometimes you can’t avoid a mess,
you may spill colors on your pretty dress
And life may give you a new color or two,
and it’s ok if your skies aren’t always blue
So take that first step and dip into some blues,
Or maybe Red’s a better color for you
There’s more then a rainbow on the pallet that you use
As you finger-paint your life with the colors that you chose.
you paint your life with the colors you chose
you paint your life with the colors you chose
you paint your life with the colors you chose
you paint your life with the colors you chose

Isn’t it funny how it takes you back, To day’s of Cat in the Hat
Where Horton Hears a Who and that lazy bird Mazy too
Silly Rhymes that twist the tongue your fun has just begun
On your way from Mulberry Street
Oh the places you’ll go from Mulberry Street
The things you saw on Mulberry Street
On your way from Mulberry Street
Did I ever tell you how Lucky you Are/, Dr Seuse is our favorite by Far
One Fish Red and one Fish Blue, The Grinch and Cindy-Lou Who
So come on and Hop on Pop, and I will read you Fox in Socks
On your way from Mulberry Street
Oh the places you’ll go from Mulberry Street
The things you saw on Mulberry Street
On your way from Mulberry Street
Oh say can you say, twisted rhymes(words) get so hard to say.
And what’s in McElligot’s Pool, and Marvin K. Mooney’s so cool
Five Hundred Hats or Green Eggs and Ham and we thank you Sam I am
On your way from Mulberry Street
Oh the places you’ll go from Mulberry Street
The things you saw on Mulberry Street
On your way from Mulberry Street

Not Looking Back
03:05
|

There’s something about the day , The sun is shining and I’m on my way
You put this smile upon my face, now I’ running towards your embrace
Got one step outside the door, and I know I’m not looking back no more
No more, no more, no more , no more
I’m not looking back no more
No more, no more, no more, no
I’m not looking back no more
You see a weights been lifted off of me, and I’ve never felt quite so free
Since the day you said you loved me, there’s a bounce in my step, simple as 1, 2, 3
Now that I have found the one I adore , I ‘m not looking back no more
No more, no more , no more , no more
I’m not looking back no more
No more, no more , no more, no more
I’m not looking back no more
The road to travel is easy to see, throw the bags in the back and come up front with me
One last look and a wave good-by. There’s ain’t no reasons for you to cry
The key’s in the ignition, make that engine roar, and were not looking back no more
No more, no more, no more , no more
We’re not looking back no more
No more, no more, no more, no more
We’re not looking back no more
Down the street, starting nice and slow, we’ll fill the car at the Stop and GO
Then turn south, hit the gas and go, to some place where it doesn't snow
We’ll find a place with a real front door and we’re not looking back no more
No more, no more, no more , no more
We’re not looking back no more
No more, no more, no more, no more
We’re not looking back no more

Shady Side of the Street
03:44

I’m sweating here in the sun, knowing my work has just begun
Planting flower in a row, so they can watch them grow
I’m someone that they don’t see, just part of the scenery
They don’t care about my plight, unless it’s on the TV tonight.
I want to live on the Shady side of the street
Where the sun’s not as hot and the lemonade taste sweet
Where their hands are clean and everything’s so neat
I want to live on the Shady side of the street
They drive Big Lexus Car’s , their wife’s all look like movie stars
The kids all have white strait teeth and Ipods to keep the beat
Play games on Big TVs, can’t say please or Excuse me
Never worked a day in their life, have no troubles have no Strife
I want to live on the Shady side of the street
Where the sun’s not as hot and the lemonade taste sweet
Where their hands are clean and everything’s so neat
I want to live on the Shady side of the street
I’m not looking to change my life, start all over or find a new wife
Don’t need to be a millionaire, just want to live over there ….
I want to live on the Shady side of the street
Where the sun’s not as hot and the lemonade taste sweet
Where their hands are clean and everything’s so neat
I want to live on the Shady side of the street
My life would be so fine and I’d feel totally complete, If I could live on the Shady side of the street
Sitting in the Shade, sipping lemonade, if I could live on the shady side of the street

Without a Warning
04:19

Woke up this morning my head was a mess
All i could do is to get myself dressed.
And out the door another day more
Out on the freeway killing time
Trying to keep my life off my mind
Cause as it stands , it's not coming out as planned
You left a half finished coke, and quickly scribbled note,
Saying you're moving on
So when I woke this morning I had no warning ,
now you're gone this morning I had no warning ,
now you're gone, now you're gone
Thumbing thru the pennies looking for some change
In the old bowl that sits by the range
I found your ring , guess it didn't mean a thing
you left somethings in you're rush to hit the door
maybe you don't want them any more
No one here cares, there in a box by the stairs
You left a half finished coke, and quickly scribbled note,
Saying you're moving on
So when I woke this morning I had no warning ,
now you're gone this morning I had no warning ,
now you're gone, now you're gone
I didn't see this one coming
I guess I never had a clue
When it came to loving you
You left a half finished coke, and quickly scribbled note,
Saying you're moving on
So when I woke this morning I had no warning ,
now you're gone this morning I had no warning ,
now you're gone, now you're gone

You said you wanted to be on your own,
and that our love just hasn’t grown
Then after 6 months he (she) walked out on you,
and now you run back like you always do
Now you say you want me, Well I think I’ll decline
I can’t just stand here, knowing I’m second in line,
So Baby, your just wasting my time
We’ve been through this, once before,
and if he’d (she'd) call , you be out my door
Think you can dance in and out of my life,
and never once have to pay a price
Now you say you want me, Well I think I’ll decline
I can’t just stand here, knowing I’m second in line
So Baby, your just wasting my time
Your just wasting my time ( As long as he’s on your mind )
Your just wasting my time ( I could never feel fine )
Your just wasting my time ( my precious time )
Your just wasting my time

I Guess this is goodbye
03:31
|
|||

I don’t know where to start or begin
somewhere after original sin.
I have thought of all the excuses I can give
But how can you understand or forgive
Was it a crime to do what I did
To hit the road like I did as a kid
To sort through my mind what was going on
I am so sorry that I took to damm long
I guess this is good by
You couldn’t wait for me to decide
That it’s you, I wanted by my side
I guess this is good
You know I‘ve been burned in the past
I needed to get my head straight on at last
You see these ghosts that haunt me
I needed to make them set me Free
I took a walk and wander for a while
And soon the blocks they turned into miles
Minute to hours and hours to days.
I lost track of how long I was away.
I guess this is good by
You couldn’t wait for me to decide
That it’s you, I wanted by my side
I guess this is good by
While I was out trying to decide
You become another’s man’s bride
(You took another woman for your bride)
I wish you all the happiness you deserve
As for me I’ll just wait here at the curb
Because it’s time to start another walk
There’s no reason why we should even talk
I blow it then and I’d blow it now
I’ll learn to live with myself some how
I guess this is good by
You couldn’t wait for me to decide
That it’s you, I wanted by my side
So I guess this is good by
So I guess this is good by
So I guess this is good by
