Seasons of Love
(Verse 1)
Like seasons changing, love's a shifting breeze,
We start with spring, our hearts at perfect ease,
The warmth of summer, passions burning bright,
But as the leaves fall, we face the chill of night.
(Chorus)
Love can change like seasons in the wind,
One moment it's a storm, then calm again,
We'll weather the highs and lows that come our way,
Like seasons, our love changes everyday.
(Verse 2)
In autumn's colors, we may start to fade,
But through the winter's frost, our bond is made,
For just like spring, our love will bloom anew,
In this ever-changing weather, I choose you.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Through storms of anger or a sky so fine,
In every season, we'll find our way and shine,
Just like the weather, love is never sure,
But together, we'll endure, forevermore.
(Chorus)
(Outro)
So let the seasons change, my love, we'll stay,
Through every storm, we'll find a brighter day,
Our love's a journey, through all kinds of weather,
We'll face it all together, forever and ever.

Two O’Clock In The Afternoon
It's two o'clock
in the afternoon
the rains are pouring down
in the distance
a thunder clap sounds
It's too late
to catch my ride
it's too wet to go
so let's have
one more for the road
[chorus]
Just sitting , watching the rain
feeling the rhythm again
It's two o’clock
in the afternoon
who cares about the rain?
I'm here in your arms
once again
It's never too late
to dance in the rain
so let's have
one more for the road

Fall
[Verse 1]
the sun sets earlier and the cool breezes blow
nature starts to prepare for that blanket of snow
wild geese start to queue up and do their v shaped thing
chipmunks gather nuts and seeds and ear mark everything
[ch]
(fall ) is coming soon, and chilly winds do blow
the maples start to put on such a colourful show
(fall) is coming soon, and leaves tumble and roll
looking like they don't know where to Go
[verse 2]
the golden light of evening times keeps the warmth alive
while we sit by campfires and slowly say goodbye
the sweet smell of the leaves and the glow of firelight
we could stay here with a blanket, all through the night
[br]
as the days grow shorter and night time makes its stand
we can stay here all night long, holding hand in hand
[verse 3]
when we dream of summer and long nights of having fun
remembering the ballgames and running in the sun
we can wish that cooler days all those golden nights
and sweet times together that bring autumn delights

If I Told You
02:39

if I told you, "i loved you"
would you be surprised?
would you answer with "me too"?
or something more organized
would you tell me straight out
your response , honest and true
holding my breath,
I hope you would say
I love you too.
One more time, afraid to ask
One more time,into the unknown
one more time, build up to the task
one more time, find my backbone
one more time, I just die inside
one more time, I'm holding on
one more time, I know I tried
In my heart, I know you're gone
[verse 2]
IF I told you, "I'm sorry"
Would you accept my apology
Would you answer with a "me too"?
or would you say we're through
Would you tell me straight out,
your response, honest and true
Holding my breath
I hope you would say
I still love you

Nearing October
[1] Well, I’ve been ramblin’ down these dusty roads
With a heart that’s heavy, that won’t let me go
The leaves are turnin’ and the wind’s grown colder
We’re nearing October, I’m a little bit older
[Chorus] Nearing October, where the memories glow
Like a harvest moon in in the sky aglow
In the amber light of a setting sun
I’m longing for the days when we were young.
[2] I remember sittin’ on that porch swing
With you by my side, and wearin’ my ring
Now the porch is empty, and I’m wondering why
Nearing October, I miss you every day.
[Bridge[ I’ll light a fire, pour a glass of wine
But it won’t warm this heart of mine
Nearing October, and I’m out of time
To mend this broken love of mine
[3] The stars above they twinkle so bright
But t hey can’t outshine your memory tonight
I’ll raise a toast to love that once was true
Nearing October, I’m still in love with you.
[Outro] Nearing October, as the days grow short
I’ll keep you in my heart’s report
In the chill of autumn ,I’ll hold you near
Nearing October, I’ll always be here.

Not Falling

[Verse 1]
the days are getting shorter
cooler nights are dropping in
the more time i spend with you
the more i'm in aa spin
i cant leave this alone
i gotta make it this time
and never say, "never say i tried"
[ch]
Never tried
not fallin into your arms
Never tried
not fallin in love with you
not fallin like the moonlight
gently high lighting your hair
not fallin like the night time
with cool breezes everywhere
not fallin like the raindrops
landing softly on your skin
not fallin like autumn leaves
when they're taken by the wind
[verse 2]
the signs of fall are everywhere
there's a crispness in the air
and colours jump off the trees
with the slightest passing breeze
i walk along the pathway
but I'm far from satisfied
and never say, never say I tried

Stormy Weather

Stormy Weather
The north wind is blowing
And storm clouds are forming
the leaves keep rolling
and I keep on hoping
That I'll see you again, sometime
But your car is broken
And it's a bad omen
wasn't joking
I was just hoping
That I'd just see you out walking, somewhere
[CH] Stormy weather
Is keeping us apart
I can’t say, I’m sorry
It’s been a wild kind of day
And that smart remark
Wasn't so smart
Well it’s the next day, and I call you
Maybe we can plan a rendezvous
And make a breakthrough
Out on the avenue
When we're together
I try for forever
But we're like September and December
Always months apart from the start
And the wind blows cold
CH Stormy weather
Is keeping us apart
I can’t say, I’m sorry
The flurries and snowfall
Can't mask unhappy
After all
Making my way
To see you my friend
The storm's closing in and I'm lost again
I can't find my way
Don't know what to say
I'll try another day
But I'm out on the road
And the snow keeps a’falling
The wind is blowing and I can't see
What's in front of me
But I can’t stop now
Stormy weather,
right from the start
I can’t say, I’m sorry
I can’t fix a broken heart
The storm keeps on blowing
Us apart

In The Meantime
02:55
|
|||
|
[chorus]
we've split the meantime
between night and day
between you and me
between what you think and say
it's the right time
to go our own ways
in the meantime
don't be mean to me
[verse 1]
feelings unexpressed
feelings that we hide
feelings so painful
we just hold them inside
intentions misunderstood
intentions ignored
intentions abandoned
they're just hollow words
[verse 2]
waiting for a feeling
waiting for a sign
waiting for a reason
to reach the bottom line
just drowning our sorrow
sorting yours and mine
just drowning our sadness
navigating the mean time

Whispering In The Wind

Whispering In The Wind
[Verse 1]
in the stillness of the night
(when the world's asleep)
it dances through the trees
(whispering to me)
the slightest movement, sighing quietly
and tells the story of life's mystery
[verse 2]
There’s a thousand reasons why
(I’m so sad today)
so lonely ince you went away
(gotta find my way)
the on shore winds prevail
you know I tried and tried
listen close to what it has to say
(Hidden deep inside)
[chorus]
There’s an emptiness in my heart
( hopeless Romantic)
Wondering where you are
[verse 3]
There’s a sadness in the wind
(Whispering my name)
reminding me of places we've been
(no one's to blame)
Lonely breezes, constant reality
blowing softly.from the sea
[longer chorus]
lingering breezes, a gentle lullaby
(secrets hidden there)
parting tears at the end of the day
(we dare not share)
the slightest movement
it softly sings
reminding me of you
on silent wings
the endless, ever whispering wind.

Good Morning Darlin'

Good Morning Darling
[Verse 1]
good morning darling
did you sleep well last night?
do you feel rested?
are you alright?
did you have a bad dream?
what were you seeing?
Good morning darling
you were only dreaming.
[Chorus]
Just hold on , take a deep breath
reach out
I'll be right here
when you wake up in a strange place
you have nothing to fear.
[Verse 2]
i didn't hear those voices
who were you talking to?
no I didn't see that mountain
It wasn't in my view
there were no packages
left on the front porch
you didn't need to
go outside and search.
[bridge]
i know you're leaving
i know you're unaware
I understand, and I know
i will always be here.

No Wonder

[Verse 1]
Well, I saddle up my pickup truck
And I drive the dusty road
Where the cornfields sway and the river flows
To the place that I call home
In the morning, I hear the rooster crow
The world awakes and the day unfolds
No city lights, no crowded streets
Just the simple life for me as I grow old
[chorus]
Underneath that big sky where we roam
Stars at night, shining bright
and a love that's grown
You are my heart's delight
No wonder, this land feels like home.
[verse 2]
by the bonfire's glow, we'll share our dreams
Underneath the moon's silver beams
Take my hand, let's embrace the night
In this country life where all is right
No wonder, the time moves slow and steady
In the arms of nature, we find our melody
With open hearts and hands held ready
we'll dance through life, my love, you and me
