Disappearing Angels
Voices in my head – They tell me how to feel – I seldom cross the line beyond the sand
I tiptoe through the day – Inhibited by fear – Confusing what I see with what is real
I listen to the silence and I hold my breath – Waiting for a sign beyond the past
I close my eyes and try to find the answers – To the questions I haven’t even asked
Images are flying all around my brain – People passing by that I don’t see
Walking in a daze, Don’t know my name– All I see is what I don’t believe
I listen to the silence and I hold my breath – Waiting for a sign beyond the past
I close my eyes and try to find the answers – To the questions I haven’t even asked
Disappearing Angels got a hold on me – Disappearing Angels all around
Disappearing Angels, they’re controlling me – I cannot see
Floating through the atmosphere – Dancing on a cloud
Pinch me now ‘cause I’m not here – My feet don’t touch the ground
Lock the car and go inside – Leave your demons here
It’s now or never you decide – Temptation or your fears – Temptation or your fears
I listen to the silence and I hold my breath – Waiting for a sign beyond the past
I close my eyes and try to find the answers – To the questions I haven’t even asked
Disappearing Angels got a hold on me – Disappearing Angels all around
Disappearing Angels, they’re controlling me – I cannot see
Disappearing Angels - let go of me – Disappearing Angels hear me now
Disappearing Angels clear the way for me – Have faith in me
Standing Tall
Rolling like thunder – The wind at my wheels
I can turn on a dime – I’ve got the touch and the feel
I live for this moment – No stopping me now
Perpetual motion – They can’t keep me down
Against the odds – I’m living my dream
Breaking down barriers – I’m a moving machine
Half of the battle – Is strapping into the seat
There are so many winners – In victory and defeat
Rising up… / I won’t fall / I’ve got my eyes… / on the ball
I’m gonna answer the call
‘Cause I’m always standing tall
I’m spinning in circles – I’m fighting for ground
I’m playing for keeps – I’m not messing around
Together we stand – Together we climb
Together we drive – to push it over the line
The boundaries have been set – The rules carved into stone
But the limits don’t apply - When you step out - on your own
Never give up – Never give in
Let’s get what we came for – We’ve got the power to win
It’s all on the line now – We’re in the zone
I’m taking my best shot – I’m driving it home
Rising up… / I won’t fall / I’ve got my eyes… / on the ball
Watch me now / I’ll show you all
That I’m always - standing tall
Head of the Harbor
Now the leaves are turning and the autumn winds are blowing
There’s a glimmering light of winter in the breeze
As I lay down by the fire
And I think of younger days
The North Shore of the Island meets the sea
The old white house and the rustic gates surround me
With the beauty of the countryside abound
Like a peaceful serenade
In a lovely kind of way
I can lose myself in the visions all around
It’s my home - at the Head of the Harbor
It’s my home at the foot of the sound
Wherever I may roam, to the reaches of my soul
It’s the Head of the Harbor I’ll call home
Now the land is mine forever, there’s no question
Like the fifty acres deeded once before
The polo fields, they’re gone
But the history lingers on
As the Head of the Harbor hugs the shore
It’s my home - at the Head of the Harbor
It’s my home at the foot of the sound
Wherever I may roam, to the reaches of my soul
It’s the Head of the Harbor I’ll call home
It’s a home that will never die
It’s the place my heart resides
The children they were born, and my whole world transformed
In that home under Long Island skies
It’s my home - at the Head of the Harbor
It’s my home at the foot of the sound
Wherever I may roam, to the reaches of my soul
It’s the Head of the Harbor I’ll call home
Wherever I may roam, to the reaches of my soul
It’s the Head of the Harbor - I’ll call home
Papa Was a Dreamer
Papa was a dreamer, his dreams made of tin
His pain and his battles, he’d dream he could win
All alone in his time, he’d look for the answers
To questions that I would plant in his brain
He’d plan and he’d strive to find all the treasures
For ones who would live long after his time
Papa was a schemer, he’d scheme in his mind
Searching for words out of reach, out of rhyme
I can’t remember his voice or his laughter
But I can recall his message to me
Whether he said it, he surely ingrained
His legacy lives and his honor I see
He left within me the essence of righteousness
Courage to be who I am
Making my journey to uncharted places
Believing that I could withstand
Upon me I know is his hand
And his dreams
Papa was a dreamer, his dreams made of tin
His pain and his battles, he’d dream he could win
All alone in his time, he’d look for the answers
To questions that I would plant in his brain
He’d plan and he’d strive to find all the treasures
For ones who would live long after his time
He left within me the essence of righteousness
Courage to be who I am
Making my journey to uncharted places
Believing that I could withstand
Upon me I know is his hand
And his dreams
Lonely Winter Storm
There’s frost on the windows – The wind whistles by – There’s a storm in the mountains – Snow in the sky
Here in the winter – Here by the fire – I can hear the soft beating – Of my own lonely heart
Reflections from the fire – Cast a glow on the walls – Like shadows softly dancing – In an empty dance hall
Alone in my silence – Alone with my dreams – Alone with my memories – While the winter night breathes
My eyes, they grow heavy – As the fire starts to die – A chill fills the room – And a tear fills my eye
The snow’s falling harder – The snow’s drifting high – The snow covered mountains – Have said their goodbyes
I move to the bedroom – At the top of the stairs – I tiptoe through the darkness – In the cold night air
And there on my pillow – There on my bed – There is my love – Covered up to her head
I lie down beside her – She stirs and she sighs – I move to her body – Her skin touches mine
She’d turned in early – She’d missed the storm – She’d left me lonely – But now, she keeps me warm
Curled up inside - While the cold wind blows – It’s safe with in the walls – In the place we call our home
Feeling her near me – Feeling her close – Feeling her love – Through this lonely winter storm

Suddenly a Woman
Where have all the years gone – Where have all the tears gone from your younger days
It seems like yesterday – A fragile little girl was trying to find her way
Suddenly a woman – Suddenly an angel for all eyes to see
Suddenly a woman – I closed my eyes and time passed right in front of me
Who is that I see now – Who is here with me now, is that really you
The fire that glows inside – Burns brighter as the years just melt away your youth
Suddenly a woman – Suddenly an angel for all eyes to see
Suddenly a woman – I closed my eyes and time passed right in front of me
How was I to know then – How the years would flow then I just couldn’t tell
It happened oh so fast – You’ve grown beyond the stages that I used to know so well
Tracing through the footsteps of your younger days – A sentimental journey in my mind
I can see you’ve finally seemed to find your way – But I still see the child left behind
Daddy’s little girl – Keeps dancing in her innocence all wild and free
Ages passed me by – And all at once you’re grown and I’ve been blind to see
Suddenly a woman – Suddenly an angel for all eyes to see
Suddenly a woman – I closed my eyes and time passed right in front of me
Suddenly a woman / Suddenly a woman / Suddenly a woman
What Did I Do to Deserve You
What did I do to deserve you – I’m not worthy of your love
Nothing can ever unnerve you – Nothing that you can’t rise above
Can you – Be real – I never imagined I’d have it this way
And I know – What I feel – Well there’s something about all the things that you say to make me smile
You’re my Rock of Gibraltar – How do you do all the things that you do
How come you never falter – Lifting me up when I feel blue
Can you – Be real – I never imagined I’d have it this way
And I know – What I feel – Well there’s something about all the things that you say to make me smile
What did I do to deserve you – What did I do to deserve you
You’re my inspiration – To wake up every day
Nothing fazes you, you’ve the strength of a lion and you’re pulling more than your weight
No doubt about it, you’re one of a kind – And I can’t believe in my fate – No I can’t believe in my fate
Seems like a dream that I found you – You’re not above doing anything right
And baby when I am around you – Your faith and your love are my guiding light
Can you – Be Real – I never imagined I’d have it this way
And I know – What I feel – Oh there’s something about all the things that you say make me smile
What did I do to deserve you – What did I do to deserve you – What did I do to deserve you…
This way
Like a Father and Son
From the moment they say “it’s a boy” an indelible bond is formed
The family name, it goes on and a father’s heart is warmed
There’s a special connection that touches the soul from the very start
There’s a common thread that ties the spirit of two beating hearts
Like the wind and the rain / Like a heart on a chain
Like a song and a dance / Like a perfect romance…
Like the seasons that change / Like a home on the range
Like a hole in one…………..Like a father and son
The apple that falls from the branch never ventures too far from the tree
A chip off the old block, he follows the footsteps deliberately
Two peas in a pod, There’s a place in the stars where they both reside
They talk on a level where nobody else can read the lines
Like the wind and the rain / Like a heart on a chain
Like a song and a dance / Like a perfect romance…
Like the seasons that change / Like a home on the range
Like a hole in one…………..Like a father and son
Time after time, moving mountains together
They’re friends for life
Carrying forward a right of succession
The legacy thrives … Through a father and son
Look in the mirror and see the image staring back at you
It may look familiar, The likeness it grows with age, it’s true
But more than appearance, Your manner and presence resemble someone
A diamond’s forever and so is the love of a father and son
Like the wind and the rain / Like a heart on a chain
Like a song and a dance / Like a perfect romance…
Like the seasons that change / Like a home on the range
Like a hole in one…………..
Like the wind and the rain / Like a heart on a chain
Like a song and a dance / Like a perfect romance…
Like the seasons that change / Like a home on the range
Like a hole in one
Like a father and son
Like a father and son
Like a father and son
Borrowed Time
When I think – of your smile / It makes me glad – for a while
I was yours – You were mine / Now I look – Back in time
We were young – And alive / But it was only for a while
We were living on borrowed time
Every – one – That you touched / Oh they miss you so much
Even those – Who can’t say / that they knew you this way
We were young – And alive / But it was only for a while
We were living on borrowed time
Then you walked away – On that cold December day
I don’t know where I am – I haven’t found my way
It seems a bitter end – Who knows what might’ve been
Now I’m living on borrowed time
All the love – That we shared / Every step – You were there
Takes me back – To the day / When I thought – You would stay
We were young – And alive / But it was only for a while
We were living on borrowed time
I can’t help missing you / I can’t turn off the tears
There was so much we had left to do / I wish I could turn back the years
Now I think – of your smile / But I’m sad – All the while
I was yours – You were mine / Then it all – Went awry
We were young – And alive / But it was only for a while
We were living on borrowed time
I’m living on borrowed time
I’m living on borrowed time
I'll Be With You
Now it’s time to go to bed – Time to rest your weary head
Tomorrow is another day – So go to sleep – My little one
Let’s turn down the light – The stars they shine and the moon is bright
Close your eyes right now – And you can dream – My little one
I’ll be with you through the night – I’ll be with you in the morning
I’ll be with you as you go through life – To light the way – And watch you grow
In your busy little world – There’s so much you have to learn
So keep an open mind – And find your way – My little one
When you wake up you can play – It’ll be such a lovely day
I may be gone but I’m never far – Away – My little one
I’ll be with you through the night – I’ll be with you in the morning
I’ll be with you as you go through life – To light the way – And watch you grow
So, remember this day – And remember what I say
The choices that you make – Will follow you – My little one
And hear my words tonight – Things are gonna be so very right
Just close your eyes and think of me – I’ll be right here – My little one
I’ll be with you through the night – I’ll be with you in the morning
I’ll be with you as you go through life – To light the way – And watch you grow
I’ll light the way – And watch you grow
My little one
The Music Lives On
Nothing lasts forever, all good things must end
The good times and the heartache, on all the sun will set
It’s been a lifelong journey, to find where I belong
Now with mixed emotions, I’m playing - my last song
The curtain call is coming, here’s my final bow
If I did an encore, would you listen anyhow?
And when my song is over, the stage will fade from view
But life goes on forever, the house lights - they burn for you
But I’ll be in your heart
Through the music that touched me
I’ll be etched in your mind
When the crowd has gone
When you hear the songs
You will be reminded
The show is over now
But the music lives on
When my story’s written, I hope the words are kind
Remembering the good times, and the treasures left behind
I’m not proud of everything, I have my regrets
I’m happy for the good I did, and sorry - for the rest
But I’ll be in your heart
Through the music that touched me
I’ll be etched in your mind
When the crowd has gone
When you hear the songs
You will be reminded
The show is over now
But the music lives on
Raise a glass to the memories
Raise a glass tonight
Let me hear you call my name once more
Before we say good-bye
A toast to the music
A toast to the words
And here’s to the band playing
Like we’ve never heard
Now I look upon the faces, as you watch my final act
I hope I’ve entertained you, and I hope I’ve made you laugh
So thank you for the memories, and the time we’ve had to spend
Keep the faith within your heart, our love – It will never end
