Premium Member Morning Sunshine Song

Another day is dawning
and the Sun is rising high
he's dancing in the gentle breeze
across the morning sky!
The birds call out their greetings
as the Sun winks his hello
and I'm happy just to be here
to watch this morning grow!

I see the little flowers
as they're shaking off their dreams
my spirit swims among them all
within their rainbow streams!
The air sings with their perfume
in a fragrant melody
and I float in their sweetness like
a love struck bumble bee!

Another day has started
all its wonders I behold
the Sun is smiling down on me
he's filling me with gold!
Everything is beautiful
when Sunshine lights the skies
I know I'm blessed to see the world
through these enchanted eyes!

Premium Member Gamblin' Fever

Card playin' around in Reno,
Bettin' all day long,
With good ol' gamblin' fever,
What everyone's gamblin' on,

Get it up, get it down,
Get it on, every round,
With good ol' gamblin' fever,
Everyone's gettin' down,

You know who has the fever,
When playin' gets bettin' strong,
Sometimes being too eager,
Can have ya bettin' wrong,

Get it up, get it down,
Back on off, 'til next round,
With good ol' gamblin' fever,
It's good to be bettin' sound,

Card playin' around in Reno,
Gamblin' all day long,
With good ol' gamblin' fever,
What everyone gambles on.

The Day My Daughters Grow Up

Yesterday
I could see their births as if it was just
Yesterday
A time when all I knew was love 
Yesterday
I’d no thought for tomorrow, just the day
Yesterday
How they changed the world in every way
Yesterday

Little smiles
How they melted this man, their father’s heart
Little girls
How they instantly became a needed part
Little hands
That held tightly to the palm of mine
Little babies
How they’ll always be this man’s sunshine
Little girls

But when they grow up
 I’ll be so sad…
My world will then lose 
the babies I had…
I’ll have just the memories 
of their touch…
The day my daughters… 
grow up…

Maybe
They’ll never fall in love with any boy
Maybe
But, then they’ll never learn of all that joy
Maybe 
They’ll wait until they reach old forty two
Maybe
But, that’s a dream that won’t come true
Maybe

But when they grow up
 I’ll be so sad…
My world will then lose 
the babies we had…
I’ll have just the memories 
of their touch…
The day my daughters… 
grow up…

One day I will walk them down the aisle
They’ll look at me with that little girl smile
I’ll do everything to hold back the tears
Forced by the memories of all their years

The day my daughters… 
grow up…

One day
When I am old and they come to visit me
One day
I’ll still see them as kids, though with families
One day
Despite age, they’ll always be my little girls
One day
Is every day that I’m alive in this world
One day

The day my daughters… 
grow up…
Is the day, 
I’ll grow up…too


Christmas In July

It is no wonder why
Oh happy day in July
When I sing of peace and love and joy
I of’t recall the birth of Mary’s baby boy
Born that first Christmas day when angels did proclaim
“O Earth, to you, a savior born; Jesus is His name.”

Oh joyous day in July
When yards turn brown and get too dry
I read again the story Bibles tell
Not like the Christmas advertisers sell
I know a time angels to shepherds came
And sang, “…a savior born; Jesus is His name.”

Oh festive July day
When I take time to pray
I am glad the Christmas spirit still remains
As I lift my voice with sweet angelic refrains
Christmas came years ago from heaven above
God’s gift given; precious Jesus, wrapped with love.

It's An Island Ting

In the Islands day talk like you sing

I Aim (Song)

Staring at shadows,
Squeezing my pillow,
Trying to forget 
you are gone,
Refuse to let go of,
The faint taste of true love,
Your presence
is lingering on,

Since you walked 
away from me
I cannot bear
to see the day,
The waking sunlight
through my window
Takes your
memory away,
 
If I could
see you again
I'd say..
For you,
I Aim,

I aim to be
I aim to see
The day your love
once again belongs to me,
Since you left,
I'm just not the same,
because its for your love
I Aim

The friends 
who still know me
Know
 I'm fading slowly
Baby, I'm not 
doing too well,
Each day 
as I'm waking
For you I'm waiting,
Loving you
 and no one else,

When I, wake up 
in the morning,
All I feel 
is empty space,
Each second 
I spend breathing,
is me thinking
 of your face,

If I could
see you again
I'd say..
For you,
I Aim,

I aim to be
I aim to see
The day your love
once again belongs to me,
Since you left,
I'm just not the same,
because its for your love
I Aim

Down By the Boardwalk - My Version

ENSEMBLE
Oh when the days seem long, and when the sun shines bright
We step out the door, and stand in the light
We walk down the street and go around the corner
The sun is shining brighter, and the day is getting warmer.

Down by the boardwalk
We’ll be having some fun
Down by the boardwalk
You should come join along
Down by the boardwalk
We’ll be dancing all day
Down by the boardwalk
C’mon you know the way
To the boardwalk. 

MAYOR FREDERICKSON
Ahh, what a beautiful day. A day to be out and about. What do you say, Officer Johnson.

JOHNSON
Oh, I couldn’t agree more, mister Mayor. 

MAYOR FREDERICKSON
Gosh, we are so blessed to have a day like this, not too hot, not to cold, but good enough for 
a day at the beach.

JOHNSON
If only I were off duty.

MAYOR FREDERICKSON
(Spoken) I’ll tell you what Officer Johnson
(Sung) When the wind hits your cheek and the sun hits your skin
Its oh so clear, to know that the water is where we should be.
When the clouds divide, and the sun starts to shine
We race down to the boardwalk, and dive in.



ENSEMBLE
Down by the boardwalk
Laying in the sun
Down by the boardwalk
Down the street we will run
Down by the boardwalk
We’ll be having a blast
Down by the boardwalk
Join in while it lasts
Fun on the boardwalk.

ENRIQUE
Enrique’s flower shop is now open for business!

ENSEMBLE
Today, we celebrate the sun and heat
Today, is not like any other, it cant be beat
Today, we pray will never come to an end
We’ll pay a visit to the boardwalk, with friends

Down by the boardwalk

ENRIQUE
Stepping into the sun

ENSEMBLE
Down by the boardwalk

JULIO
We’ll be having some fun

ENSEMBLE
Down by the boardwalk

JOHNSON
I’m stuck on duty all day

ENSEMBLE
Down by the boardwalk

FREDERICKSON
Patrol the beach all day

ENSEMBLE
Down by the boardwalk. DOWN BY THE BOARDWALK!

Hard Ice For Days Like Cocain

as a child
It felt a bit safer 
knowing that everything
would eventually work itself out
and in the end 
though we failed 
to remain concise 
in-between darkness
we were only men

i'm looking at my little red gauge 
sitting peacefully on E
looks like it will be 
another empty day for me

and i apologize 
for the wrong turns
all the long sermons
and the little wishes
that hold life in format
the cold winter nights
that left me at your doormat

when i was alone
you brought my days comfort
a touch that misery couldn't sponsor
a tragedy to never disappoint
and now i wonder
was it us or the fact that together 
we'd never go under

in correspondence to my 
thoughts dancing along the windshield
i'm moving fast and forward 
despite the rain indoors 
it feels i'm going nowhere
my little red gauge sits at the back of E
looks like another empty day for me

"just like motivation everything else fades"

Be Nice To Me

Tomorrow comes
It’ll soon be here today
Be nice to me
speak softly dear
Don’t push me away
No, Don’t you push me away

My angers up 
My day is gone
My time has tired
I slept alone

Everybody’s got someone
I need my songs
I’m going to get someone
My day is gone

Tomorrow comes
It’ll soon be here today
I’m going to call you 
When I know
It’s going to be too late

I’m going to see you there
Back where 
I knew you’d tear
I’m going to see you there
If you ever cared

Everybody’s got someone
I need my songs
I’m going to get someone
Don’t you know this song

Confessions of a Heartbreak

IF a had a dollar
For every second I thought of you
I’d have so much money
I wouldn’t know what to do
Because you’re always on my mind girl
From my waking moments 
Till the day is done
Yeah always on my mind girl
And I just know...
You’re the one (end of chorus)

I spend every minute
Of every hour
Of every day
Thinking about what we had
What we were 
And what I’d change
Like all the cheating
All the hurting
All the lying
And all the rage
But now I’m to the point
Where it’s locked me in a cage
Full of my own venom and deceit
But this is a battle
Where I cannot accept defeat (end verse)

Because if I had a dollar
For every second I thought of you
I’d have so much money
I wouldn’t know what to do
Because you’re always on my mind girl
From my waking moments 
Till the day is done
Yeah always on my mind girl
And I know...
You’re the one (end of chorus)

I love you so much
I can’t bear to see you go
And I still feel your touch
When you walk away so slow
You might say my records broken
Or that I’m a little nuts
But no-more will I go unspoken
Baby I love you
So much (bridge)

Cause I won’t sit back
And let you slip away
No I won’t be quiet like before
Not today
Cause I’m asking you
Begging you
Needing you
Baby please
Just give me a chance
Cause hell is nothing
Compared to loosing you (end verse)

Because if I had a dollar
For every second I thought of you
I’d have so much money
I wouldn’t know what to do
Because you’re always on my mind girl
Till the day is done
Yeah always on my mind girl
And I know...
You’re the one (end of song)

*inspired by and devoted to the beautiful Akira Gollihue, please forgive me*

Damaged Goods!

The love I expressed was true and real 
You threw it back, you heal! 
You chose him over me? 
The reasons why I cannot see 
He lie, he cheats, he is a fake 
And him you chose? For goodness sake 
You yap and moan about his ways 
Yet, true love, you cast away 
No sense do your actions make 
Maybe you are just a flake 
I am the best thing ever to cross your path 
You discard my love, like day old trash 
Are you blind? Can you not see? 
The love that emanates from me 
I hope on the day he is through with you 
You sit and cry the whole day through 
You deserve to be hurt and tossed aside 
You are an evil thorn in my side 
When you're done crying and think of me 
Pick up that phone and there I'll be 
You'll ask me to come over, if I could 
And I'll say, "nope... you're damaged goods!"

Modern Day Nightmare

You hear the knock at your door
You hear the creaking of your floor
You believe it's all in your head
And that your completely safe in your bed

A shadow runs across your room
You believe it's all too soon
You scream but it's to late
You're face to face with your fate

It's worse then the monster under your bed
It's nothing like the demons in your head
It's come to take all you own
Take you away from what you've known

It's the Modern Day Nightmare

You're searching for the light
But you can't find it in sight
You can do absolutely nothin
As it starts it's destruction

Life passes before your eyes
And your completely surprised
Look at the time you lost
And look at what it cost

It's worse then the monster under your bed
It's nothing like the demons in your head
It's come to take all your own
Take you away from what you've known

It's the modern day nightmare

The time slipped away
A little every day
You were never there 
For your kids' scrape or tear

You missed band and football games
Saying that they were all the same
You missed their graduation
You missed their life, congratulations

It's worse then the moster under your bed
It's nothing like the demons in your head
It's come to take all your own
Take you away from what you've known

It's the modern day nightmare

Everything starts to fade
And you think about the life you made
About everything you missed
About every lost kiss

Death pulls you closer in
Now you regret your biggest sin
You now are paralyzed
Your death has been finalized

It's worse then the monster under your bed
It's nothing like the demons in your head
It's come to take all you own
Take you away from what you've known

It's the modern day nightmare

Just For the Day

Sunrise starts us on a new day
present tense is pushed away.
mind and body cleansed...
anticipation of the day is sensed

alive...just for the day.

The day lightens upon a meeting place
as the hands of time quicken their pace
Walking the human forged trail, you and I
the canopy of trees throw shadow to sky

shining...just for the day.

Thoughts long past arise, memories awake,
ever answerless about a path we did not take.
Return to today
...yet past thoughts stay
...answerless still
...resolution delayed.

happy...just for the day.

Stories are told, laughter is shared
silent moments between reflect the deepest of care.
Playful and fun, with an otherworldly feel
How many more moments like this can we steal.

complete...just for the day.

Sun dips down through the color streaked sky
already upon the time of goodbye.
As the light is fading, inevitably,
we delay our departure as long as can be.

Just for the day, I finally see.
Just for the day, just you and me.

Alone

Left alone with my thoughts,
Nothing good ever follows,
Emotionally hollow,
As the day grows on.

Left alone with myself,
My mind can't help but pace,
Frozen in this space,
As the days go on.

As the day grows on,
As the days go on...
I'm left alone.
As the days go on...
When the day grows on,
I'll be alone.

Left alone for good,
Unable to defend,
Some wounds can never mend,
As the days go on.

Alone, the pain is clear,
Depression..I can rely on,
Depend on...
As the day grows on.

As the days go on,
As the day grows on.
I'm left alone.
As the day grows on,
As the days go on,
I'll be alone.
