BEAUTIFUL LIFE (Claire Ulanoff/Will Hopkins) Shreveport on a summer evening Screen door is barely breathing Outside the pavement's steaming after a pounding rain She's in a rush getting supper ready Second try at his mom's spaghetti First time was a bust but he said he loved it anyway He honks his horn as he's pulling into the drive She's on that porch waiting with a big old smile And they're so young, barely starting out Learning what life's about Writing their story one page at a time So in love and so amazed At the beautiful life they've made They can't quit talking all through supper Catching up with one another A gentle kiss shows he loves her more than words can say Later on in their tiny kitchen They're cutting up and washing dishes When she feels the baby kickin' it takes her breath away She grabs his hand, places it on her side Then she laughs out loud, watching his eyes get wide (Chorus) They've got a second hand sofa and a brand new bassinet There's so much they don't know, but they don't know that yet (Chorus) © Copyright Ulanoff/Hopkins

Oh, I can’t wait to get home Chorus Where the evergreens wave And people know each other by name There’s just no better place For a good old fashioned holiday A mountain top Christmas Bridge And Santa’s first stop Will be on the mountain top (Instrumental) Chorus Oh, I can’t wait to get home Where the evergreens wave And people know each other by name There’s just no better place For a good old fashioned holiday A mountain top Christmas For a good old fashioned holiday A mountain top Christmas A mountain top, yeah a mountain top, oh a mountain top, a mountain top Christmas

TOY TIN SOLDIERS V1 It wasn’t meant to be, meant to be like this Roses on a battleground Nothing cuts deeper than a cold sharp kiss One more dream, one more lie Same ending every time Chorus Playing with hearts like toy tin soldiers Acting like love is just a game One by one Knocking them over Stand them up just to watch them fall again V2 Why do I keep on keep on trying What am I fighting for I’m still hung up on your sweet barbed wire Try to leave, then you smile I’m bleeding all the while Chorus Playing with hearts like toy tin soldiers Acting like love is just a game One by one Knocking them over Stand them up just to watch them fall again Let me go Bridge One last dream, one last lie Will you ever be mine Chorus Playing with hearts like toy tin soldiers Acting like love is just a game One by one Knocking them over Stand them up just to watch them fall again

BIRD OF STONE (Claire Ulanoff) V1 She was a bird, a wild free spirit He was a rock, both feet on the ground He said that taming was what she needed She thought her love would bring him 'round Lift No big surprise, love couldn't change him What she'd give to fly again Chorus She's a bird of stone Her colors fading, lost her song Like a bird of stone Living in shades of gray Just another day A bird of stone V2 Deep down inside she's still remembering The beat of her wings, the wind on her face Any day now she'll stop pretending That she don't ache to fly away Lift That rocky road will reach an end Her heavy heart will soar again Chorus And that bird of stone With colors blazing will find her song Not a bird of stone No living in shades of gray She'll never face another day Like a bird of stone Out Like a bird of stone Her colors fading, lost her song Like a bird of stone Living in shades of gray Just another day Like a bird of stone She'll be going...going gone... She'll be going...going gone...
