So you think you've got it rough buddy just decide to take control of your life and make it happen for yourself instead of just being down and complaining. c'mon, you can do it! Live your dream

always having a rough time in my life, never having what I wanted, I just sat down and wrote this song after being inspired by someone elses success, helping me to believe that I can do it too! live your dream!

1. Now you say that you've climbed every mountain
and you've carried your share of heavy loads
say you know all about what's behind you
but it's leading you down a hard road
take a left, see the truth, straight ahead, don't look behind you
just believe, and you'll find you. You can live your dream
2. Well I know that you think that you've found it
and your living your life all around it
but your traveling through a dimension
it's not easy to reach the new world
take a left, see the truth, staight ahead, don't look behind you
just believe and you'll find you. You can live your dream
chorus ~ You can live your dream, you can live your dream,
you can live your dream ~ you can live your dream
solo
take a left, see the truth, straight ahead, don't look behind you
just believe and you'll find you. You can live your dream
chorus ~ You can live your dream, you can live your dream,
you can live your dream ~ You can live your dream

I'm sittin' here at my computer, it's got all the bells & whistlres. I can burn CDs and watch movies and play music and games. My computer has everything. I have all the electronic gear and I can hold tons of information, but I can't hold you cause your not here! My computer talks in blue, it's the state of the art! I've got everything but you and that's the state of my heart.

Ya ever have a long distance love affair and you just wanted a little more than romantic e-mails and phone calls? Well I did, so wrote this song.

1. New machines, electric dreams, got my CDs turnin'
All is at my fingertips, but still my heart is burnin'
My computer talks in blue, it's the state of the art
I've got everything but you, and that's the state of my heart
2. Video cassette re-pro, movies by the millions
I can store all I know, with figures in the billions
My computer's just like you, it's the state of the art
I've got everything but you, and that's the state of my heart
~solo~
3. Baby, if I didn't have a thing but you,
I know exactly what I would do!
My computer knows that too, it's the state of the art
I've got everything but you, and that's the state of my heart
That's the state of my heart, you're the state of the art, I miss ya,
That's the state of my heart

This gal is kinda like Roxanne of Sting fame she keeps runnin' away with another guy and stays gone. Then she comes back and says she'll never leave me, then, she leaves me again! So after about two or three times I'm screamin' don't cry wolf

Threats of leaving me by my X significant other always seemed to piss me off enough to write this song!

1. Summer Silence, where ya been?
you said your comin' back again
Now I done told you, 'bout more than ten times,
Don't Cry Wolf to me anymore, Don't Cry Wolf more than two times
baby, cause on the third time your gonna fly away
Don't cry wolf more than two times baby, cause on the third time, your a bird.......
2. Too many tear drops, I ain't a counrting
every time you say your gonna run away
cause if ya get loose, it's gonna cook my goose
Your such a rare bird, please stay,
just don't cry wolf more than two times baby,
cause on the third time you're a bird
Don't cry wolf more than two times baby,
cause on the third time, your gonna fly away
~solo~
3. Summer Silence, where ya been?
My heart's in violence cause your gone again!
Now I done told you, 'bout more than ten times,
Don't Cry Wolf to me anymore, Don't Cry Wolf to me anymore
Don't Cry Wolf to me anymore
Oh no, Don't Cry Wolf to me anymore
Don't cry Wolf!

This lady really impressed me when I fell in love with her. I likened the feeling inside to a beautiful rose growing with every heart beat

1. Thinkin' of all the times I lost my way
Then I picked myself up to say
Gotta find someone who cares
2. You cam along and showed me how to climb
didn't want to get left behind
so I gave it another try
Sub Life is too short to linger on in this world
Chorus You put me in motion , now I know
I'll get on in this world
3. Having you near me makes me feel
That love is really real
I can finnally see the light
4. Nobody else made me feel this way
what I really want to say,

a flower so rare, a breath of fresh air
You are the rose

It was love at first site with a cute little brown Portugese girl I spotted in the airport one day as she was finding her way to the plane going to Brazil. Wow was she hot! I fell in love with this chick caught her by the arm as she went toward the boarding area and swore I would come down to get her. I did! we did! it was unbelievable !

1. With her big brown eyes she said goodbye
and boarded the plane for Rio
I told her to wait as I stood at the gate
but the man closed the door. Don't you know
She went flyin' away, flyin' away with my heart

I know that you must go, someone waits in Rio
but someday don't you know I'll be there, I'll be there

2. So I booked me a trip out of L.A.X.
I went down down down down
And there she was on the Rio sand
True love is what we found
We went flyin' away, flyin' away,
flyin' away on De Janero Bay

We heard each other say on De Janero Bay
we'll do what we want to do, fly away !
~solo~ los voando livremente
We heard each other say on De Janero Bay
we'll do what we want to do, fly away !

flyin' away, flyin' away
Voando Livremente en Bayja DeJaneero
flyin' away on De Janero Bay
flyin' away on De Janero Bay
flyin' away on De Janero Bay

we were flyin' away we went flyin' away we went flyin' away

It's all about relationships isn't it? You find someone, you get close to them, and you better hold on to a good thing

It's all about relationships isn't it? You find someone, you get close to them, and you better hold on to a good thing

1. We found a good thing when we got together
What we done before, we got to do much better
Ya talk about love and you whisper sweet things
You're tellin' this boy not to live in a dream

You got to hold on to what you got
You got to hold on to what you got

2. Don't give in to no temptation
We can win without reservation
You got what you need to make the operation
All you got to do, is do the conservation

You got to hold on to what you got
You got to hold on to what you got
~solo~

3. We can watch the sunset in the afternoon
And tell each other everything when we watch the moon
Let's do it today, don't throw it away

You got to hold on to what you got
You got to hold on to what you got yeah baby
You got to hold on to what you got
You got to hold on to what you got baby baby hold on
baby baby hold on to me
hold on baby baby can't ya see
hold on
hold on You got to hold on

This song could be about a murdered loved one

when my baby left me, it was dark ! dark night of the soul

She left this mornin' while the rain was pouring down
she gave no warning, she made me feel just like a clown
I tried to stop her but the words got in the way
Baby please listen, I'm beggin' you to stay
I think I'm goin' into the dark night of the soul

I sat right down there, my head was in my hands
I couldn't figure out where is lays or where it stands
I feel so helpless, am I a boy or am I a man
I better hurry and try to make another plan
I don't want to go into, I don't wanna be a friend to
don't even want to begin to seethe dark night of the soul

solo

Gotta leave behind me every thing she said
gonna get up now and work on my head

dark night of the soul oh no not another
dark night of the soul

All of a sudden she just walks up to you at a rock concert with cocaine in her fingernail, shoves it up your nose and wisks you off to her bedroom talking about the depth of her soul the whole way until you wake up the next morning wondering about the mystiszm of it all!

All of a sudden she just walks up to you at a rock concert with cocaine in her fingernail, shoves it up your nose and wisks you off to her bedroom talking about the depth of her soul the whole way until you wake up the next morning wondering about the mystiszm of it all!

I can't believe my eyes, she cut me down to size
I thought I was so wise, I can't believe my eyes

You watch and time will tell, I'll never break her spell
I thought that I should go, but she keeps sayin' no

with her kisses she never misses, Mystic Mistress
check my heart beat, she knocks me off my feet, Mystic Misstress

and what the lady knows, she knows just where to go
I never seen no one know how to have so much fun
she takes me by the hand says I'm her magic man
she packs a powerful plan, she takes me by the hand

with her kisses she never misses, Mystic Mistress
check my heart beat, she knocks me off my feet, Mystic Misstress
~solo~
with her kisses she never misses, Mystic Mistress
check my heart beat, she knocks me off my feet, Mystic Misstress
