Love Wears No Disguise

LOVE WEARS NO DISGUISE
Naked desire, it’s plain to see every time you look at me
I already know what’s on your mind, your love wears no disguise
Images of the night before, burning trails where your fingers were
Gold bands reflect the candlelight when your love wore no disguise
Clearly I can see the flame that’s burning in your eyes
Every time I look at you, your love wears no disguise
Naked truth is so hard to show, but it’s given me life
And it’s man’s last hope
Together we wait for that first sunrise when love will wear no disguise
Clearly I can see the flame that’s burning in your eyes
Every time I look at you, your love wears no disguise

Perfect Summer Day

PERFECT SUMMER DAY
No alarm clock to make me start my day
You’re here beside me
Stretching, yawning, good morning
Not quite awake
How did you sleep, dear
Your breath on my neck is tickling me
But I don’t mind ‘cause I can see
It’s gonna be a perfect summer day
Your pajamas will suit my day just fine
You wear the bottoms
The sun is shining and all we have is time
All else forgotten
My PDA is calling me
Oops, I forgot to charge the battery
It’s a perfect summer day
Sun or rain – it wouldn’t matter
Summer’s here and we’re together
Let’s say only what we want to say
Light the grill, it’s perfect weather
Make mine with a pink umbrella
Holding hands, it’s a perfect summer day
We’ll let the radio just play
A book by the pool would be the perfect way
To spend a summer day
Perfect Summer Day
Perfect Summer Day

I'm In Love

I’M IN LOVE
Well, it seems I might have stumbled on a doorway in the night
It has opened my awareness, another pathway in my mind
I have seen the light surrounded by the darkness of despair
I have witnessed the explosion of darkness shattered by the glare
Don’t try to save me, ‘cause it’s already done
Don’t try to blame me – I’m on a pathway to the sun
I am alive, I have arrived, I’ve found the key
I am in tune with the most wondrous mystery
I’m in love, I’m in love with you
Well, I have lived my life a visionary in disguise
You came in and saw the person buried deep inside
A little love, a lot of time, the perfect word to say
You are every reason that I am standing here today
Don’t try to stop me, I will have my say
Don’t try to stop me, I’m telling everyone here today
I am alive, I have arrived, I’ve found the key
I am in tune with the most wondrous mystery
I’m in love, I’m in love with you
This is who I’ve waited for, more than I could ever dream
This is who I’ve waited for, more than I have ever seen
I am alive, I have arrived, I’ve found the key
I am in tune with the most wondrous mystery
I’m in love, I’m in love with you

Let Me Tell You

LET ME TELL YOU
Another quiet dinner - We stare into our wine
There’s so much here between us - That feels like empty space
All these bits and pieces - Secrets tucked away
The driftwood of our feelings - Pushed down beneath the waves
I’m so tired of keeping secrets - I hide my life away
I don’t know what you need to hear - I just know I need to say
We can’t fly with all these secrets
Let me tell you something you don’t know
I’ve got dirty little secrets
Let me tell you something you don’t know
Always the entertainer – you’re always in the light
My dear, your mask is slipping - I can also see your face
I’m so tired of keeping secrets - I hide my life away
I don’t know what you need to hear - I just know I need to say
We can’t fly with all these secrets
Let me tell you something you don’t know
I’ve got dirty little secrets
Let me tell you something you don’t know
I wanna fly with you - Up in the sky with you
No more secrets - No more lies with you
Don’t want to hide from you - Or give fake smiles to you
I just wanna be mesmerized
We can’t fly with all these secrets
Let me tell you something you don’t know
I’ve got dirty little secrets
Let me tell you something you don’t know
Let me tell you

Secret Vineyard

SECRET VINEYARD
As we enter the scene, through the door he is dancing
Almost near enough for her to touch
There’s a dark pink bottle and two subtle glances
And she is the fruit in its very first crush
The vines in the ground now, the roots spreading out underneath
The grapes that are promised to come with the rain and the heat
As the viewer can see, the young man is pouring
Trying so hard just to wait to discuss
All the red & the whites of their consummate longing
The burgundy passions that mean so much
The vines are beginning to climb and their stems interweave
The grapes are just starting to show if you pull back the leaves
So let’s drink to the grapes, raise a glass to the seed
And toast the young lovers, may they all their lives be
The sweetness of love through the times
They will see around this table
In their secret vineyard
This limited vintage is not meant for sharing
It comes from a vineyard deep & lush
Respectfully now the daylight is fading
May the two lovers be each one of us
The vines have all thickened, the trellises starting to lean
The grapes are grown heavy with all the expectancy
So let’s drink to the grapes, raise a glass to the seed
And toast the young lovers, may they all their lives be
The sweetness of love through the times
They will see around this table
In their secret vineyard
The vines have been harvested, left now to wait for the spring
And the grapes that will ripen will be even sweeter next year
So let’s drink to the grapes, raise a glass to the seed
And toast the young lovers, may they all their lives be
The sweetness of love through the times
They will see around this table
In their secret vineyard

Where Has The Love Gone?

WHERE HAS THE LOVE GONE?
The little things you say and do used to drive me crazy for you
Now they just drive me crazy
The days were long when we were young
Your eyes would always draw me to you
Now they just seem so hazy
Let it go, they tell me, let this go
I can’t let it go
Whoa, where has the love gone? Where has the love gone
Whoa, where has the love gone? Where did our love go
I remember when we were friends, we said we’d run to the very end
Rooting for each other.
Now you never even hold my hand, it’s my fault, too, I understand
But I’m still in this forever
Let it go, they tell me, let him go
I can’t let him go
Whoa, where has the love gone? Where has the love gone
Whoa, where has the love gone? Where did our love go
You don’t have to tell me secrets. I don’t want to know right now
Let’s just have some fun together. We’ll figure it somehow tomorrow
Whoa, where has the love gone? Where has the love gone
Whoa, where has the love gone? Where did our love go

Be Still & Know

BE STILL AND KNOW
What’s it gonna take to cross that line
Leave all the doubts & the lies behind
Push a little harder and see how far I’ll go
Dance a little closer to that edge
Stand a little taller on that ledge
Find our broken love on the rocks below
Arms are crossed, feet firmly planted, steel gaze in our eyes
I’m not going anywhere, It’s time for you to realize
Be still and know – I will always be here
Be still and know – I will always love you
Find a way to hurt me one more time
Always one more trick to try
Maybe this will be the one that makes me go
Have you figured out why I’m still here
Standing in the fog of your fear
Did you think that I’d be far away by now
Name one time that I’ve betrayed you or trampled on your heart
If love and trust are what you’re after, here’s the place to start
Be still and know – I will never leave you
Be still and know – I'm the one who loves you

Say It 'Cause You Care

SAY IT ‘CAUSE YOU CARE
I can feel the fire cooling, the full moon is on the wane
I can see the light is dimming in your eyes
I don’t feel the idle conversation taking us anywhere
I need to know the deeper meaning in your mind
Say it ‘cause you care, make me be aware
Show me that you’re glad to be my man
Take me by the hand, help me understand
That I’ll never be alone again
Say it ‘cause you care
I can face anything just as long as you are there
Say it ‘cause you care for me
I can see the love-light fading when you look at me
I can see the criticism in your eyes
Don’t you know I love to please you
Maybe somehow I forgot
Tell me all the things I need to change, but
Say it ‘cause you care, make me be aware
Show me that you’re glad to be my man
Take me by the hand, help me understand
That I’ll never be alone again
Say it ‘cause you care
I can face anything just as long as you are there
Say it ‘cause you care for me
I can see the subtle changes, the letting myself go
Little things that drew you to me driving you away
Maybe we could fall in love again. Who knows
I can only think of one sure way

Time To Say Goodbye

TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
Wake up on another Tuesday
We both know just how it’s gonna be
But I’m not okay with it today
No, I’m not okay
It’s all right if you think I’m crazy
You might just be right to be afraid
I lose control when you’re around me
Time to say goodbye, time to face the truth
There will never be a time, a time for me and you
It’s time to say goodbye, time to see the light
Fading into grey, turn and walk away
Time to say goodbye
It’s okay if you want to blame me
I know it’s me for wanting more
Than all the things you gave me
Time to say goodbye, time to face the truth
There will never be a time, a time for me and you
It’s time to say goodbye, time to see the light
Fading into grey, turn and walk away
Time to say goodbye
I just wanted to show you
Everything that’s in my heart
To show you who I am in every song
Serenade your soul
But the chase is over now
Time to say goodbye, time to face the truth
There will never be a time, a time for me and you
It’s time to say goodbye, time to see the light
Fading into grey, turn and walk away
Time to say goodbye

GRANDCHILDREN (RED HIGH HEELS)
He just called and said he has reservations
At the finest restaurant in town
Put on your finest dress and curl your hair
We’re going out, so wear your red high heels.
It scared me at first when he said he had reservations
I thought that he was talking about me
I’m glad that I was wrong and we’d be moving on
We’re going out, so I’m wearing my red high heels
My girlfriends say he’ll pop the question - I’m not really sure
Is this the moment history records - to tell our grandchildren
Got so caught up in my preparations
Halfway there, Did I leave the iron on?
He had to take me home just to turn things off
I rushed out and broke my red high heel
The whole day seemed to be against us
A foretaste of our life together, an unexpected tale
Our legacy.
We got there late and lost our reservation
We argued about where to go from there
He threw a box at me, I opened it to see
I’d be walking down the aisle in my red high heels
My girlfriends said he’d pop the question. I wasn’t really sure
This the moment history records - we’ll tell our grandchildren
We’ll tell them all about those red high heels
