Story Behind The Song

Wrote this song with a really talented singer some years ago. We never got to record it, but recently I found the backing tapes and decided to record it as a male vocal. Still think it should have Michelle singing on it, but it won Song of the month & Runner up collaboration of the Year at Houston Song writers - so can't complain :-).

Verse 1
I want it all
I want the moon and the stars
I want to stand tall
To understand Venus and Mars
To understand you
And the things that you do
We're so distant now
We may as well be through

Verse 2
Want two to be one
I'm tired of the sorrow and pain
Warm in the sun
I'm tired of the wind and the rain
Of always being at war
Trying to even the score
Everything has changed
I hardly know you anymore

Build 1
But if you want to give our love a second chance
Rekindle romance
Relearn to dance

Chorus 1
If I could turn back the time it took
To turn your heart to stone
I wouldn't have to find the courage
To make it on my own
I've tried to make you see
That I don't ever want to be
A victim of circumstance
So baby, relearn to dance

Verse 3
I want it all
I want you here by my side
Baby it's your call
I got no secrets to hide
Whatever it takes
To repair the heartache
And make good
On all the promises we make

Build 2
Yeah, if you want to give our love a second chance
Rekindle romance
Relearn to dance

Chorus 2
If I could undo the time it took
To turn your heart to stone
I wouldn't have to find the courage
To make it on my own
I tried to make you see
That I don't ever want to be
A victim of circumstance
So baby, relearn to dance

End
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
