Safe House Rick Lane / Dan Mayo I wanna be that place you run to When you need a hideaway Where the world won't ever find you When you’re looking for some space No one will know And you can lay low I'll be there to hold you close No matter what I won’t let go Chorus My heart will be your safe house And you hold the only key I can be the sanctuary That puts your mind at ease Free from worry, to feel at home Where you’re loved and safe from harm Nothing’s gonna happen to you now My heart will be your safe house You've been living like a refugee Feeling lost and out of place Worn down by negativity That keeps getting thrown your way You’ve felt misjudged Not good enough And taken advantage of But I’ll save you from how it was Repeat Chorus Come in, make yourself comfortable Be yourself and nothing more My arms are wide open like a front door Repeat Chorus Contact: DMayo1203@yahoo.com 843-685-6226

Should Have Been © 2014 Marty Lehr (music & lyrics) V1 I will survive if only one day at a time I catch myself setting your place at the table old habits die hard Chorus you haunt my heart night and day if I had begged, would you have stayed? we were naïve, we should have learned when you play with fire you get burned like a scene from a Shakespeare play but without the right lines to say I can hardly stop thinking about you maybe someday we could start again my lover friend, until then, think good of me and what SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAG: (I can hardly stop thinking about you maybe someday we could start again my lover friend, until then think good of me and what SHOULD HAVE BEEN) V2 As days crawl by like a mantra I keep asking, why did you leave me? was it fear of losing yourself or needing more space and time? Chorus Bridge am I falling, free falling right out of my mind? praying I get to see your face before I lose my faith gonna be three long months tomorrow Chorus

Lovin' Who I AM Writers: Bob Love, Alan Mueller V Never looked so good in the same dirty clothes No matter what I do, I'm smelling like a rose People stop and stare when I walk into the room with her on my arm and love in full bloom Ch I'm lovin who I am when she's by my side I'm walking so tall, I've got a brand new stride Making lots of friends, I never had before Everyone's so nice they're opening up doors lovin who I am, people seem to like the change I just keep saying, I'm still the same man V She snuggles up close no matter where we're at I'm every guys envy, now just imagine that What a boost of esteem for a guy who had none My stock is on the rise, I'm soaking up the sun Ch I'm lovin who I am when she's by my side I'm walking so tall, I've got a brand new stride Making lots of friends, I never had before Everyone's so nice they're opening up doors lovin who I am, people seem to like the change I just keep saying, I'm still the same man Bridge She was a debutante at the top of her class I'm just a country boy who was lucky to pass It seems everything I do has a fresh new flair I'm a real late bloomer who came from nowhere Ch I'm lovin who I am when she's by my side I'm walking so tall, I've got a brand new stride Making lots of friends, I never had before Everyone's so nice they're opening up doors lovin who I am, people seem to like the change I just keep saying, I'm still the same man (c) 2024 Bob Love

Never Did V1 We were high on honeymoon low on money,  Bittersweet love, that was our twenties, Old enough, but too young to commit, Thought we’d always stay together, But we never did, V2 Yeah we held each other so close, danced when it rained, Shared the tears, through our laughter and pain, Dreamed of a big house and little kids, Promised to give her the world, forever,  But I never did, Chorus Never did undo our done and gone, She learned to let go, I tried to moved on, But I still pray like hell to learn to live, With all the things we were gonna do, to the why we never did, V3 Just looking back now, on us then, Wishing we were one all over again, Can’t forgot them last words from her lips, Swore she’d stay in touch when I left, But she never did, Chorus Never did undo our done and gone, I let her go she tried to hold on, And I still pray like hell to learn to live, With all the things we were gonna do, to the why we never did, Bridge She went out into the world, Thought I lost my country girl, God brought her back in the end, Never thought she’d be back in my arms again  Chorus Cause I.. Never did undo our done and gone, I let her go, she tried to hold on And I still pray like hell to learn to live, With all the things we were gonna do, To the why we never did, Never did I pray like hell to learn to live, With all the things we were gonna do, to the why we never did, We never did, Never did....

In the still of the night demo2019 I can see my baby sleeping in my bed In the still of the night I could never ever have anyone else instead And in the still of the night I'm the luckiest luckiest guy and I Could never ever let her go It's so clear in the still of the night V1 Who could have thought it could be like this Who could have dreamt a dream come true Who could have thought after all this time She's into my life, into my life. Instrumental Chorus And in the still of the night I'm the luckiest luckiest guy and I Could never ever let her go It's so clear in the still of the night. Composer David Will Copyright David Will

V1 Sometimes a guy kisses a girl It really doesn't mean that much Other times he kisses a girl He melts from her touch I melt everytime you walk by V2 The first moment our lips met I knew I had to be with you Leave nothing to chance, no regrets Time for something old, something new I'm so happy I could cry Chorus Because of love, my heart is free I no longer feel alone Undeniable chemistry Like no love I've ever known Life is better than before Because of love, because of love V3 My luck changed from bad to good You're everything I need and more Because of you I feel understood You're as sweet as the girl-next door Gave me a good reason to try Chorus Because of love, my heart is free I no longer feel alone Undeniable chemistry Like no love I've ever known Life is better than before Because of love, because of love

THROUGH THE DARKNESS (STARMAN) Verse 1 I get up each day at the crack of dawn I have a quick shower, put my best clothes on Have coffee and toast, it's the same every day Then I dream of the stars in the Milky Way Pre-chorus Then I drift up into space Chorus Starman, hear me now Take me by the hand Lead me through the darkness To a distant land Verse 2 I go out to work, always catch the train I stand all the way there and back again When I get the job done and I'm back at home I venture out to my astrodome Pre-chorus Then I drift up into space Chorus Starman, hear me now Take me by the hand Lead me through the darkness To a distant land Bridge I must escape when the chance comes around Put my head in the air, take my feet off the ground Leave the world that I know with its hate and its crime When I look through my scope I can go back in time Verse 3 I put on TV, watch the same old stuff Quizzes, news and soaps till I've had enough Some reality show that I can't abide But then the skies clear and I go outside Pre-chorus Then I drift up into space Leave behind the human race Chorus Starman, hear me now Take me by the hand Lead me through the darkness To a distant land Repeat Chorus with counterpoint (counterpoint lyric: Starman listen Help me steer Starman guide me Away from here) © 2018 Music and lyrics by Alex Houston

Our kind of love V1: No golden rings No fancy things No fast cars Or swanky bars No private Safaris Trips to The Canaries Lift We don’t need anything else But ourselves CH: Our love is the force that draws Draws, draws us together All we want is to be close Close, closer than ever We float in the clouds up, up Lifted by our kind of love Our kind of love V 2: There is one rule We play cool Always fair Because we care Make no demands Just holding hands Lift We don’t need anything else But ourselves CH: Our love is the force that draws Draws, draws us together All we want is to be close Close, closer than ever We float in the clouds above Lifted by our kind of love Kind of love Bridge: We often make fun of ourselves Rolling with laughter Burst with joy that captivates We touch, and kiss after CH: Our love is the force that draws Draws, draws us together All we want is to be close Close, closer than ever We float in the clouds above Lifted by our kind of love Lifted by our kind of love Our kind of love

If you weren’t a man You might be an alley cat Sniffing around all over town To find where the action’s at I could put you in a collar Have you eating right out of my hand I’d lock you inside every night If you weren’t a man If you weren’t a man Maybe you’d be a hurricane Blew in one day swept me away And left my heart drownin’ in rain I could have gone runnin’ for cover When you hit me with all I could stand I‘d have known not to look in your eye If you weren’t a man I should have never fallen for you But you drove this woman crazy like only a man can do If you weren’t a man You might be a Cadillac Feedin’ my pride takin’ me for a ride Till there’s no turning back I could have fastened my seat belt Or I could have jumped out and ran But I wouldn’t be singin’ these blues If you weren’t a man
