sea breeze, as the golden drops of sun
give way to paint from a silver moon
sea breeze, before the hour when we must part
and waves will break my heart
sea breeze, your shadow is an empty shell
i know your voice so well, see breeze

a fool in california

I am a fool, I am a damn fool,
for being on this plane flying me home tonight,
it would've been so easy to just miss my flight,
maybe next time, I just might.
I am a fool, I am a damn fool,
for letting my heart get ahead of my mind,
it used to be so easy to keep it in line,
but since the day I met you,
it's been keeping its (own) time.
I am a fool, I am a damn fool,
for falling so hard when I knew it would end,
it took me down so easy, no way that I could defend...
I knew the day I met you, I couldn't pretend...
I am a fool, I am a damn fool,
'cause seeing your face makes my heart race again,
it should've been so easy...
if we could just be friends...
But here I am, a fool in love again.

take a little chance
00:45
|

i think it's time
to tell her how i feel
get my feelings hurt
and learn to love, and deal
but no other love, I know
will ever move me so
so it's time
to take a little chance
out on both left
let's try this little dance
romance just may be waiting in the wings
jump in and see what fortune brings

i've fallen in love
01:28
|
|||
|
why does my heart feel so tender
whenever you're by my side
why can't i find the right words to say
when i have nothing to hide?
i play the fool, but you know me
i've fallen in with you
fallen in love
with you, it's you

After joy and laughter,
smiling through the tears,
when the party's over, something still remains.
In a bar in New York City, he still sings for all the world,
through the nicotine formation, squints his eyes
and sees a face, is that the girl?
He regrets not saying all the things he sings about her now
to the smoke-face strangers in the bar, who don't care
what he sings or sings about.
As he stumbles through the music, he can't entertain the doubts
yes the girl he failed, so long ago, created all
the music he pours out.
The source of his music is something he lost
that he thought he'd die without,
he's finding some solace
in falling apart.
(New York's prettiest flower—it seems,
is in my dreams, I dream.)

we dance forevermore
01:28
|

|
i know a dance is just a dance
it doesn't have to mean romance
and when you sway and lean on me
that's not especially unique
it's just a dance
so i propose
we dance forever
and evermore

it's all for you

lately, i've been thinking about the past
summer days and moments that never last
lately i've been thinking about your smile
i've been dreaming too sweetly, it seems
though we be miles apart
oceans can't part our hearts
my love is yours, love
wherever you be
you can not lose me, you can not lose me
at all
all of the songs and the poems
all through the years, it's all for you
all of the hoping and waiting
all of the tears, it's all for you

winter's here
01:25
|

|
to those warm summer days
we say farewell
winter's here
the season of teardrops
under glistening lights
and mournful, mournful skies
the sun feels feel oh so very far
and when your frozen heart
can take no more
she appear
the one that you long for
only, cold as ice
around her, the mournful sky
the sun feels oh so very far
