1] Smiles in Smallville

I want to see beyond this mask

I’ve been wearing for a while

but the saddest part of all is If we try to look at all

We can’t see each other smile

There’s crazy times in Smallville

We’re wondering where to turn

we don’t have time to cry or even give a passing sigh

but we just have time to burn

When the evening rain … greets the morning dew

And there’s never gonna be another day like the one in front of you

Well, the rain clouds wane … and the sky grows blue

And there’s never gonna be another day like the one in front of you.

what we’re movin toward

is so very hard to see

Life doesn’t have to be so hard Always being on our guard,

no use fretting how it used to be

if I smile at all of you …and you smile back at me

When the evening rain … greets the morning dew

And there’s never gonna be another day like the one in front of you

Well, the rain clouds wane … and the sky grows blue

And there’s never gonna be another day like the one in front of you

I want to see beyond this mask

I’ve been wearing for a while

but the saddest part of all is If we try to look at all

We can’t see each other smile

When the evening rain … greets the morning dew

And there’s never gonna be another day like the one in front of you

Well, the rain clouds wane … and the sky grows blue

And there’s never gonna be another day like the one in front of you

And there’s never gonna be another day like the one in front of you

2-Pause Button

Wish I had a ‘pause’ button ….for days when I don’t have a clue

Wish I had a ‘pause’ button …. to learn the things I wish I knew

Cause if I had a ‘pause’ button I’d stop …

and think things through

Wish I had a ‘rewind’ button …For things that happened just because

Wish I had a ‘rewind’ button … for “what a stupid move that was”

cause if I had a ‘rewind’ button I’d cut and paste …

over all my flaws

You can’t go back …. to make it rhyme

Just try to do it right ….. The very first time

Wish I had an “undo “ button …….for little things I tried to say

Wish I had an “undo “button …for “shouldn’t have said it quite that Way

Cause if I had an “undo” button I’d make it …

a little better day

You can’t go back …. to make it rhyme

The very first time

Glad I don’t have a ‘fast forward’ button… To let me see what’s coming slow

Glad I don’t have a ‘fast forward’ button …To take the fun out of tomorrow

I don’t want to have a ‘fast forward’ button…Cause …..

I really don’t want to know

I don’t want to have a ‘fast forward’ button…Cause …..

I really don’t want to know

3-Hits and Misses

I’d spent years writing love songs, through the day and into the night

but I’d always missed the target, just never could hit it right

but I finally wrote one for the gal who’s become my perfect fit

Cause of all my hits and misses… my Mrs. … is my greatest hit

Hoped Cupid’s arrow might hit me, but just where I don’t know

he tried to hit the bull’s eye, but he must have aimed too low

cause the lonely heart was the body part that Cupid just couldn’t hit

But now of all my hits and misses … my Mrs. … is my greatest hit.

I longed to write that hit song, one I could call mine

Not care ‘bout the top forty, write it right between the lines

Tried to hit my inspiration, hoped to strike the perfect rhyme

Find the perfect melody that always stays in time

I was trying to hit a double, as I stepped up to home plate

But I always wound up single, a no hitter was my fate

I was swingin’ hard at screwballs, I was missing all the signs

All my sure hits just went foul, never hit a good line drive……

Now I finally made good contact, she’s become my perfect fit

Cause Of all my hits and misses … my Mrs. … is my greatest hit.

I’d missed on many lyrics, songs sung out of time

missed hits in the top forty, Grammy red carpet lines

Now I’ve hit my inspiration, wrote the perfect rhyme

strummed the perfect melody that always stays in time

She’s always right on target, She’s pretty and she’s smart

And when she’s smilin’ at me, She hits me in the heart

Now I’ve finally found the lady who’s become my perfect fit

Cause Of all my hits and misses… my Mrs. … is my greatest hit.

Cause Of all my hits and misses my Mrs…. is my greatest hit.

4-You and Me

I’ve been out to see the Grand Canyon

Caught beads at Mardi Gras

Counted down in Time’s Square New Years Eve

Watched the tide roll in at Fundy

Walked the Boardwalk on Venice Beach

Stood and watched the Mississippi

Rushing just beyond my reach

I’ve been from Portland to Portland

Cedar City to Cedar Key

But nothing’s touched me better

Than being …

You and Me, You and me

By the sea, Just You and Me

You and Me By the sea

Livin’ free Just You and Me

Smelled April orange blossoms

Saw Tennessee dogwoods in bloom

Watched a mist float ‘cross the Smokies

Like a lonesome guitar tune

Now that tune’s no longer lonesome

In my travels far and wide

With you to share them with me

As we’re riding side by side

I’ve been from Portland to Portland

Cedar City to Cedar Key

But nothing’s touched me better …

Than being…

You and Me, You and me

By the sea, just You and Me

You and Me, By the sea

Livin’ free, Just You and Me

I’ve been from Portland to Portland

Cedar City to Cedar Key

But nothing’s touched me better …

5-The Muse

The Muse asked me to take a chance

And join the world where shadows dance

Where no one gave a backward glance

To hard affairs of seeming

She made no sense, no recompense

But told me to drop my defense

Don’t be afraid to cross the fence

And give in to your dreaming

The muse said it was for the best

I’d share my heart, be ever blessed

Our gift of sight we should invest

I took her for her meaning

I told her that her ends were free

That didn’t sit quite right with me

And she could see all she might see

I’d just see what I could

The Muse said that the other side

Was too aflame for me to hide

And that I’d have to take the ride

Or stay behind for good

I told her ‘No, I’ll stay right here’

I backed away, and showed my fear

I said I held survival dear

I thought she understood

The Muse said it was mine to choose

Her face was frowned, she dropped her clues

She didn’t want us both to lose …

…And then I said I would

…And then I said I would

6- Greedy Man

He’s a greedy man, he’s a greedy man

Grabs what he wants however he can

He thinks he’s clever, but he’s not that smart

His soul’s as cold … as a … bi-Polar bear’s heart

One day he decided to make a run

So he ran out on his wife and infant son

Didn’t give them a dime to pay his part

His soul’s as cold … as a … bi-Polar bear’s heart

All your happy days are through

We’ve all had it with you

Left them on their own and thought it was funny

Then demanded she give him half of her money

He’s a greedy man right from the start

His soul’s as cold … as a … bi-Polar bear’s heart

He smashed the tv, punched the wall

Wrecked the garden and that’s not all

He yells and screams as he departs

His soul’s as cold … as a … bi-Polar bear’s heart

All your happy days are through

Everyone’s wise to you

He’ll meet his Karma, that Gator boy

When she smiles and tells him “see you later, boy”

He’s a greedy man, but not very smart

His soul’s as cold … as a … bi-Polar bear’s heart

His soul’s as cold … as a … bi-Polar bear’s heart

7-This Getting Old Is Really Getting Old

Today I'm feeling three kinds of blue

yesterdays are gone forever, todays down to a few

and all tomorrow’s dances I might never get to do

this getting old is really getting old

Find myself awake, before the sun arose

hurry - sip my coffee, because it's getting cold

stranger in the mirror says I’ve got stories yet untold

this getting old is really getting old

another friend has passed, another chapter slips from view

more of my life story fades away

just another ghost that I find myself talking to

wondering should I swear or should I pray

I’ll live inside the memory of ones I hold so dear

their memories define our heaven or hell.

a backward glance to know that they will always keep me near

and hope that I'm remembered well

another friend has passed, another chapter slips from view

more of my life story fades away

just another ghost that I find myself talking to

wondering should I swear or should I pray

but living in today, I’ll share everything I know

got a toddling generation that I've got to teach and hold

I'll teach them to go fast enough, to know they should go slow

I've got memories still to be told

this living life never will get old

living life never will get old
