INFINITE MAN
Music & Lyrics by Jay Jacobson
© Jay Jacobson


You make me feel like an infinite man
When you?re around I do all that I can
There is no end once you enter the race
But I?ve gone past it to my inner space

With your love
I can rise above
All the fears
And all my tears
I?m guided by your love

You make me feel like an infinite man
You make me feel like an infinite man

You make me feel like an infinite man
Expanding past every boundary I can
No more time spent trying to fit in
I?m growing past even my own skin

With your love
I can rise above
All the fears
And all my tears
I?m guided by your love

You make me feel like an infinite man
You make me feel like an infinite man

With your love
I can rise above
All the fears
And all my tears
I?m guided by your love

You make me feel like an infinite man
You make me feel like an infinite man

NEVER SEEN ANYONE
Music & Lyrics by Jay Jacobson
© Jay Jacobson


Watching, waiting
While you walk down the street
Anticipating
Just when our eyes will meet
Never did I see
Anyone so fine
I hope that somehow
Our separate lives entwine

CHORUS:
I?ve never seen anyone
With beauty that?s so true
I?ve only just begun
To fall in love with you

Can?t catch my breath
Your spell just like a dart
Hit me, enslaved me
You?ve captured all my heart
If you?d see me
I know you?d feel the same
Strangers no more
We?d join in love?s fair game

CHORUS

Frozen, can?t move
Oh please don?t pass me by
You walk past me
Not seeing eye to eye
Gone now from my life
As fast as you came in
I?ll still keep dreaming
One day your heart I?ll win

CHORUS

IF ONLY I COULD SAVE YOU
Music & Lyrics by Jay Jacobson
© Jay Jacobson


Many sleepless nights
You toss you turn
You feel life?s not right
For peace you yearn

If I could show you
I won?t let you fall
But you can?t see through
The pain of it all

CHORUS:How can I help you through
When you can?t clear your head
How can I watch you fall
See the one I love unthread
If only I could save you
From yourself but I can?t
Save yourself
Please save yourself

You feel so strong
Thinking you?re weak
You?re perception is wrong
For what you seek

Take off your glasses
You?ve worn since birth
For life surpasses
Our views of earth

CHORUS

MARRY ME
Music & Lyrics by Jay Jacobson
© Jay Jacobson


If you look around, you?ll find me
You?re on solid ground, I guarantee
The love you need you?ve found, you have me
If you look around you?ll find me
You?ll find me
You?ll find me

Even when you?re scared, I?ll be there
When you?re in despair, I?ll be there
With all my heart I care, I?ll be there
Believe me cause I swear, I?ll be there
I?ll be there
I?ll be there

CHORUS:
You know me
I know you
When will it be
Marry me
Marry me
Marry me

Join your heart with mine, together
Life is oh so fine, together
Join me rain and shine, together
As one we are divine, together
Together
Together

CHORUS

If you look around, you?ll find me
You?re on solid ground, I guarantee
The love you need you?ve found, you have me
If you look around you?ll find me
You?ll find me
You?ll find me

GIVE ME A SIGN
Music & Lyrics by Jay Jacobson
© Jay Jacobson


Where can I go to be heard
Where can I go to be known
Won?t someone sit beside me
And tell me just who I am

I had a life I could share
So many things I could share
Now nothing?s left that I know
How will I ever find myself

CHORUS:
Give me a sign in this world
Give me a sign I belong
In this world
In this world
In this world
In this world

How can someone lose themselves
Without a trace of their past
With no road map to follow
And nothing to hold on to

I denied it for so long
Would not give in, lived a dream
I?m awake now and in pain
But at least life is now real

CHORUS

FINEST FRIEND
Music & Lyrics by Jay Jacobson
© Jay Jacobson


We go back a long long time
When we were both in our prime
I think of you sight unseen
And wonder if in the years between
You think of me with joy

So many memories of us two
Laughing hard as we would do
You kept me sane when times were hard
Through awkward years I emerged unmarred
You were my finest friend

CHORUS:You know me
In ways no one else can
Our time is but a memory
When I was young
And life was an adventure
It makes my heart smile
ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh....

Summers sitting by the pool
Or eating ice cream after school
Lightning bugs, and Chaka Khan
Pizza, Prom night and Elton John
You were there beside me

Pinball was a major game
Pinochle, backgammon, much the same
Out late in the summer heat
'til dad?s would tell us to retreat
We lived life oh so full

CHORUS

Somehow our paths went separate ways
And so the page turns to today
When my young life I did outgrow
It happens to all the best you know
I wonder where you are

The part you played in my life?s story
So full of laughs, full of glory
You know all of it firsthand
Things no one else will understand
It lives on with me now

CHORUS

BEAUTIFUL BEING
Music & Lyrics by Jay Jacobson
© Jay Jacobson


I still remember
The day we did meet
Our eyes locked across the bar
My heart skipped a beat

We talked over pinball
Your eyes I did see
The world stopped, my life changed
You set my heart free

CHORUS:
Beautiful being
So dear
I am at peace when
You?re near
Your heart fits me like a glove
You are the beautiful being I love
Beautiful being I love

How could I have known
The moment we met
That we?d grow together
And closer we?d get

You bring me great strength
And joy you do add
Security, confidence
A trait I never had

CHORUS

Through good and bad times
I?ll never deny
I thank you
I love you
From now till I die

CHORUS

NO
Music & Lyrics by Jay Jacobson
© Jay Jacobson


No - They keep telling me
No - Just how can it be
No - It?s just like a game
No - They are all the same

If they think they?re gonna win
They?ve go something else coming
I?m too short too fat too thin
Their ignorance is numbing
They want me to compromise
To be something I am not
If they?d open up their eyes
They would love all that I got

No - I?m not gonna change
No - You can think I?m strange
No - It?s me I have to give
No - I?m not afraid to live

No - You may think your smart
No - You?ve no clue ?bout art
No - We all start somewhere
No - I?ll succeed I swear

If they think they?re gonna win
They?ve go something else coming
I?m too old too fat too thin
Their ignorance is numbing
They want me to compromise
To be something I am not
If they?d open up their eyes
They would love all that I got

One day they will look up at me
One day they will see what I see

No, No, No, No...

AND I LOVE YOU
Music & Lyrics by Jay Jacobson
© Jay Jacobson


I?m sitting here holding your hand
But you?ve left me in a way I can?t understand
The times we did share you will leave behind
In my mind
And I love you
And I love you

You sit and stare blankly at the wall
It hurts to see you?ve got no more joy at all
All the vibrancy you had just yesterday
Has gone away
But I love you
Yes I love you

CHORUS:
Come on
Hold on
Don?t go
Please stay
By your side
Needing you
I?m here
For you
For you
For you
I?m here for you

Don?t want to let you go, no no not yet
So much that when you?re gone I will forget
You?ve known me so much deeper than anyone
No comparison
And I love you
And I love you

CHORUS

I WON?T LET GO
Music & Lyrics by Jay Jacobson
© Jay Jacobson


Before you go
So many things to say
My heart is low
A piece you stole away

First you came into my life
Then you helped me carry on
Now our time I fear will end
But you?re still my closest friend
I won?t let go

Please think of me
And all that we?ve been through
You?ll soon agree
Our love you can?t outdo

When you think how much you?ve grown
Keep in mind that I was there
I have loved you from the start
From my life please don?t depart
I won?t let go

CHORUS:
Please take my hand, Let?s start anew
And please understand, My world is you

The clouds have come
No sun to light the way
If you could wait
The sun will come one day

I gave all my heart could give
Gave you laughs and strength and love
Can you walk away from this
All our past can you dismiss
I won?t let go

CHORUS

I won?t let go
I won?t let go...

HOME
Music & Lyrics by Jay Jacobson
© Jay Jacobson


Travelin? into the world
I?ve wandered so far away
Determined to find who I am
I?ve forgotten my own DNA

But now I know what?s wrong
And I?m going to fix it today

CHORUS:
I?m heading home
Where peace is staying
Home
For rejuvenating
Home
Where your arms are waiting
Giving me the strength of the world

Here in a city unknown
Can?t find myself anywhere
How did I end up alone
Following my internal prayer

But now I know what?s wrong
And I?m going to fix it today

CHORUS

You are the best thing I had
But what you have you can?t always see
Until you leave it behind
And come upon catastrophe

But now I know what?s wrong
And I?m going to fix it today

CHORUS

SITTING IN LIMBO
Music by Manuel Imán, Lyrics by Jay Jacobson
© Jay Jacobson


As I sit and watch the cars
Passing by my window
My mind won?t stop its? racing round
While I sit in limbo

So many things I?ve yet to do
So many moments gone
This aching need inside of me
Tells me to move on

Afraid of falling
Acting out of line
Crying, lying to myself
In this life of mine

The cars have gone, the street is bare
My mind is somewhat still
The seconds pass by rapidly
No mercy for the will

Longing for the things that were
Hoping for what?s to come
But hope is killing all my dreams
Leaving me so numb

Afraid of taking
Wrong turns that define
Waiting, waiting for myself
In this life of mine

The need to take a giant step
When you can?t feel the ground
To try to sing a song out loud
When you can?t make a sound

Afraid of taking
Wrong turns that define
Waiting, waiting for myself
In this life of mine
