One Day You'Ll See By Amy Matthew Ascap C)2005

mm you drive my body crazy
down to the VERY last breathe
every touch ooh it makes me want you
its like a craving that I cant fix no no
oh the look in my eyes
when you try to say were "just friends"
baby cant you see my hunger burning
ooh honey and only you can make this end.. mmm cuz


ch) One day you'll see
that you and I were meant to be
these emotions that I'm having
burn through me like electricity ooh yah
One day you'll see
there's no one for you but me no no
just close your eyes and be hypnotized
cuz baby you set my bad girl free ooh
ooh you just set it free yah


(laughing) oh now you say you want me..
ooh that you've been havin urges too
when you watch my body move
(sexy girl voice) ooh it puts you in the mood.. yah yah
and oh my eyes can't lie
no no I don't want to be judged
I just want to take you home
and grind all night boy well never stop no
talking: so do you hear what I'm sayin


ch)repeat


bridge: we can't control it no no. all I wanta do is love you baby ooh. yah honey 
one thing about me that you just can't seem to see talking: is that I've been 
wanting this for a long time boy and I always get what I want in the end. so just 
watch me baby mm lets go..

Fuel the Fire By Amy Matthew

V1) SOMETHIN’S PUMPIN IN MY VEINS 
IT’S OUT THERE CALLIN TO ME 
IT’S A FEELING GRABBIN HOLD 
WITH SUCH INTENSITY.. 
I CANT DESCRIBE IT-BUT IM SURROUNDED 
IT’S TAKING OVER AND WANTS CONTROL OF ME 
SOMETHIN’S OUT THERE PROWLIN 
IT KNOWS MY UNCERTAINTY 
SO INSTEAD IT YANKS ME TOWARDS IT 
AND WON’T LET GO OF ME. 
IT’S A CALLING-IT’S A LONGING 
AND NOW I HAVE TO ANSWER TRUTHFULLY TO 


CH) FUEL THE FIRE 
THEN SEND IT SWIRLING 
LOOKIN FOR A WAY OUT 
IT KEEPS YOU MOVING 
SEEKING PLEASURE 
THROUGH THE PAIN 
IT WON’T GIVE UP TILL YOU MAKE A CHANGE 
FUEL THE FIRE 
AND FEEL ITS BURNING 
THE DRIVE INSIDE YOU 
KEEPS ON YEARNING 
FOR A DESIRE 
TO PRESAVERE 
ONCE IT CONSUMES YOU 
THERES NO OTHER WAY 
SO YOU HAVE TO FEED THE FLAME! 

V2) SOMETHIN’S PRESSIN ON MY HEART 
AND I CAN FEEL ITS BEAT 
A POUNDING IN MY HEAD 
THAT WANTS TO BREAK FREE 
IT’S GETTING HOTTER- AND IT’S BRIGHTER 
TILL I HAVE TO GIVE IN 
TO THAT CREATIVE PASSION THAT FLOWS AGAIN 
SOMETHIN’S TAKEN OVER MY MIND 
AND NOW IM COMING ALIVE 
I CAN FEEL THE NEGATIVITY BREAKING DOWN 
SO NOW I HAVE TO TRY 
CUZ IT’S A HUNGER AND NOW IT’S STRONGER 
EVERYTIME I WANT TO GIVE IN THEN IT PUSHES ME TO SAY.. 

CH) REPEAT 

BRIDGE: EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER HAD A DREAM 
WOULD AGREE 
WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR TALENT 
THEN IT’S A LIVING, BREATHING THING 
I CAN’T EXPLAIN WHY I HAVE TO KEEP GOING 
IT’S JUST A FORCE THAT’S NEVER ENDING 
EVERYTIME THAT I FEED THE FIRE 
IT’S LIKE A DRUG THAT TAKES ME HIGHER!

You Are By Amy Matthew Ascap C) 2005

I look at your face 
and all I see 
is heavens angel smiling at me 
everyday and every night 
I thank God 
for my shining light.. 
you are the one thing that I hold true 
and I hope you feel the same way too girl 
cuz 


 you are 
the one that I adore 
you are 
what life’s worth living for.. 
you are 
everything to me 
the air the earth and under the sea 
you are 
the sun and gentle rain.. only my heart just can’t explain 
the way that I feel when I’m with you.. ooh 
no one makes me feel the way you do.. 


 ooh I watch you sleep 
and all I can do. 
is close my eyes 
and breathe with you.. 
every sight and every sound 
this heart beats with the love we found.. 
ooh you are all I’m livin for and I can’t imagine wanting more no 



 you are 
the one that I adore 
you are 
what life’s worth living for.. 
you are 
everything to me 
the air the earth and under the sea 
you are 
the sun and gentle rain.. only my heart just can’t explain 
the way that I feel when I’m with you.. ooh 
no one makes me feel the way you do..

A Fathers Love By Amy Matthew Ascap C) 2004

I know you’re sad and I know you feel alone 
But please don’t feel bad, just look how much you have grown 
Cause there’s a bigger world outside 
And I’m watching you; you can’t hide from my eyes 
Just know that you’ve got my love to see you through 


Sometimes it’s hard to carry onv The world will knock you down 
And it won’t seem worth the fight 
But don’t give up 
Stand your ground 
Cause a Father’s love will see you through the night 


I know you feel empty inside 
you think nobody hears your cries at night 
Your heart is calling and it leaves you wondering why 
But never think that I can’t hear you 
Or that I can’t understand what it means to be a man 
I’ve been right where you are, so let my life guide your way 


Sometimes it’s hard to carry on 
Some people hold you down 
The road can seem so long 
But don’t give up 
Stand your ground 
Cause a Father’s love will never let you down 


Bridge: I’ll ease your pain 
I’ll erase your sorrow 
Joy comes in the morning and the sun will rise tomorrow 
I’ll be by your side, a Father’s love you can’t deny 


Sometimes it’s hard to carry on 
Some people hold you down 
The road can seem so long 
But don’t give up 
Stand your ground 
Cause a Father’s love will never let you down

when you're near me..
I want you so bad-
it hurts inside..
ooh can't help it
when I look into your eyes
yah it makes me want to cry ooh..

every breath draws me closer to you..
you speak to my heart as were lying in the dark
believe me when I say... only your love girl can move me this way..


ch)(five part harmonies) you bring me to my knees
You're all I ever need.. (I ever need)

The Best Time By Amy Matthew Ascap C)2006

V1) I CAN’T BELIEVE 
HOW FAST THE YEAR’S GONE 
IT SEEMED LIKE ONLY YESTURDAY 
THAT WE FIRST FELL IN LOVE 
NOW HERE WE ARE 
BUT WE ARE ONY GETTING CLOSER 
EACH DAY WE SPEND TOGETHER 
KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER- OH 

CH) THIS IS THE BEST TIME 
THAT WE HAVE EVER HAD 
LAUGHING TOGETHER 
WHILE WE WALK HAND IN HAND 
WE SHARE A BOND THAT 
NO ONE ELSE CAN TAKE A WAY 
THIS IS THE BEST TIME 
AND IT’S ONLY GETTING BETTER 
TWO PEOPLE LUCKY ENOUGH 
TO SHARE THIS LIFE FOREVER 
SO LET’S CLOSE OUR EYES 
AND BE GRATEFUL FOR TODAY.. 
WE ARE STILL HAVING THE BEST TIME ALWAYS! 

V2) I CAN’T BELIEVE 
THAT WERE GETTIING OLD 
AND HERE WE ARE 
STILL HOLDING EACHOTHER CLOSE 
ANOTHER DAY PASSES 
BUT YOU’RE AT MY SIDE 
THERE IS NOTHING I WOULDN’T DO FOR YOU 
IM SO GRATEFUL THAT YOU’RE MINE 

CH) REPEAT 

BRIDGE: SOMETIMES PEOPLE GET LUCKY 
AND THEY CAN TELL THEY FOUND THE ONE 
THE PERSON WHO COMPLETES THEM 
AND MAKES THEM COME UNDONE 
EACH DAY THAT PASSES IS BETTER THEN BEFORE 
BECAUSE I FOUND IN YOU EVERYTHING THAT IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR

Still Hopeful By Amy Matthew Ascap C)2005

v1) oh my heart is beating uncontrollably 
because i dont know how to say this 
there are a million thoughts 
racing circles in my mind.. 
how do you admit a secret 
that could possibly destroy your life 
that could turn even your closest friends against you 
without ever knowing why?? 
yes im afraid but.. 

ch) i am still hopeful 
that your gonna love me 
i am praying out loud 
that you wont desert me now 
i have to get the courage 
to be proud of who iam 
so even if you disagree and are afraid.. 
please remember as i say this 
that i am still a man.. 

v2) many before me 
have died for their individuality 
they fought for their love 
and for their heart to bleed 
so here i am trembling before you 
putting nothing but my faith 
and love in your hands 
so please dont turn your back right now 
when what i need the most is a friend..my friend 

ch) repeat 

bridge: i am stronger now that i have been for my whole life 
i broke the chains that had been tearing at my heart 
i saw you smile 
and a weight was lifted from my shoulders 
when you pulled me in your arms and held me tight 
yah now iam still hopeful..that one day we can all be free!!
