Guess I shoulda known by the way you looked at me
Guess I shoulda heard, a change was in your voice
Guess I shoulda seen by the way you hid your smile
You were playing safe and I was the one so deep in denial.

I know that you wanted me to be something that I'm not even though I wanted to,
But I let you so far down I don't know if I can ever make it up to you.

Guess I never knew how good it feels to be in love,
Cuz I never been in this deep before.
I remember when we'd laugh, we'd cry into tomorrow
These days they come, they go, leaving me nothing more than sorrow.

I know that you wanted me to say the words I've never said,
Three words so little and so big.
If I told you all the things I want to
Would you never let 'em go hold on from now until the end?

I'm just a man painting his life outside the lines
I'm hoping all the love I've lost someone else might find
Here I am again, almost out of time.

I know that you, wanted me to say the words I've never said,
Three words so little and so big.
If I told you all the things I want to
Would you never let 'em go hold on from now until the end?

I want you to know that if the world turned upside down
You know in your heart I would stand my ground
Its no surprise you knew ,
I'd never let you down .

Hoping I'll always be the one that you dream of
Where I can hold you and raise you up
Looking into my heart in love and so complete
There's no other soul in sight just me

And you know if I could I would
Be the one who would run to you
Any time that I hear you call my name

What I do I do for you
In words I write just for you
I pray forever you'll be by my side

We will rise above
In the arms of love
They will sing the song of our lives

Things that I wished I'd said, things I wish I did,
Wanna do it all over, the things I missed
At times we would fight like hell, we knew we'd never end
Together forever, side by side again

But you know if I could I would
Be the one who would run to you
Any time that I hear you call my name ,,

What I got I give to you
What was old feels so brand new
The man I am its because of you and what I feel inside ,,

We will rise above
In the arms of love
They will sing the song of our lives !!!!!

Heres one from the past, written many moons ago ! Kinda deep,,,,

I'm the one who'd rather turn and walk away than fight, never the hero,,
Hurt my pride and then pretend to be the one whose right, I should have known.

Kill a dream and then you walk right out of place and time, without a thought,,
Its best without you and your hate for those who faith relies on the same God.

I believed that as we grew our hearts would rule our minds
But I never thought about your heartache
I used to sit outside your window wishing I could stop your screamin
But inside I knew you weren't there
We'd escape to a place where nothing there could hurt us
Now its gone to where,, I search so blind

Would you catch me, if I fall ?
Would you know my voice if I called ?
Would you like me now, not like before ?
Cuz I want to be what we are supposed to be,,,

We are supposed to be,,,, We are,,

Well I'm the one that told you hope was just a step ahead, the last to complete
Though they tempt you and prevent you as they laughed you bled,, so bittersweet

Many take and so few give the lesson of their life is win, take what they can,,
To lose and then admit defeat its harder still than to convince. Who'd be this man ??

Repeat chorus--

A love stands so accused
My heart torn and confused
A slave for your abuse, I tried..

To lift myself above
The stranglehold of love
Well I have had enough of you

Well I played your way,
While I prayed for love
Well I weigh this day,
When I say its done..

Some time ago my friend Anthony from Unity Gain Studios in Ft. Myers Fl. hit me up to do some session work. It turned out to be one of the most meaningful recording sessions I've probably ever done.
Anthony had a client whose wife was in hospice slowly drifting away, her husband knew that one of her favorite songs was by Elvis Presley, a song called "Sweet Angeline" so he wanted to recreate this classic into a song with his wife's name, Carolyn, put in, so with the help of some great local musicians, we totally re-created from scratch this awesome tune.
I contributed the vocals and harmonies (Elvis was one of my favorites and I loved emulating him in song especially for something like this). I was told she heard it before she passed and she loved it. What a feeling. Rest in peace Sweet Carolyn xxoo.
