RING RING RING
(Vs.1)
Say that you're leaving
Thin as a shadow
Don't walk away Don't walk away
There's still waters to travel
Planted a garden
Filled it with flowers
We dug a hole We dug a whole
Now we're praying for showers
Went for a short walk
Found you some new shoes
I hope they fit I hope they fit
Please let me tie them for you
(Chorus)
Ring Ring Ring
We have all the things we need to make it work
Ding Ding Ding
Please don't give up even though I know it hurts
Tweet Tweet Tweet
Listen to the happy flying birds outside
Let their song fill you up
We are young and we have
Plenty of time
(Vs. 2)
Say the you're leaving
Fat as an apple
Don't walk away Don't walk away
I can't eat well without you
We built a new house
For our pet mouse
Now he is home Now he is home
The roof keeps out the owls
Went to the movies
Got us the best seat
Don't fall asleep Don't fall asleep
Monsters are really scary
--(Chorus)--
(Bridge)
I think we can I know we can oh yes we can can
I think we can I know we can oh yes we can can
I think we can I know we can oh yes we can can
we can tune a piano but we cant tune a fish fish!
--(Chorus )--

Bigger Man

BIGGER MAN
Takes a bigger man to stand by his woman
When her heels stand taller than his boots,
Takes a bigger man to stand by his woman
When her dress shines brighter than his suit.
And when they’ve all gone home
And the stage is clear
There’s only one that I want here
You know I’d give it all up, all the fortune and the fame
If you would just, just say you’ll stay….
Takes a bigger man to stay and hold you
When everyone else walks away
Takes a bigger man to say “I still love you”
When no one else says the same.
And when they’ve all gone home
And the stage is clear
There’s only one that I want here
You know I’d give it all up, all the fortune and the fame
If you would just, just say you’ll stay….
You say, “you’re too to hold, too far to see,
That I don’t know anymore who you are to me”.
And you say, “I can’t catch up with you,
I can’t run anymore. I’m all worn through”.
Takes a bigger man to stand by his woman
When her heels have grown taller than his boots.

SMILE
So late in the night
Oh I loved him for a while
If there’s only change, then nothing lasts.
He asked “where’ve you been my dear?”
“Oh I was just out with some friends”.
“None of your friends smoke cigarettes.”
So say it with a smile
Don’t try to hide it
With every white lie
The distance just widens
So say it with a smile
Please, say it with a smile.
He did everything wrong
But at least he was honest
I was always right
But I took something
I never wanted.
So say it with a smile
Don’t try to hide it
With every white lie
The distance just widens
So say it with a smile
Please, say it with a smile.
I saw a girl
She was knitting a scarf
She said it was for love.

ORPHAN
V.1)
“Funny dress you’re wearing” you said,
As you slipped between the doors of the almost moving F train
On the first day of our love
The smile you had in your eyes, the look that caught me by surprise
Felt like I’ve always known you, like you were always mine.
You used to start a sentence, that I would always end
The way that lovers do, but you also were my closest friend
You knew just when to hold me, and when I need to be alone
And how to show your weakness, and how to be strong…
Ch.)
Like a petal in the wind
Like the thought of giving in
Like the magic we once had
I am orphaned, orphaned
Like a flame that’s losing it’s spark
Like an arrow missing its mark
Like the love we used to share
I am orphaned, orphaned…
V.2)
When time goes by so quickly, and we are not the same
What yesterday meant nothing, could mean the world to us today
You wake up in the morning, and wonder where it all went wrong
And how you didn’t notice till the love you had is gone…
Ch.)
Like a petal in the wind
Like the thought of giving in
Like the magic we once had
I am orphaned, orphaned
Like a flame that’s losing it’s spark
Like an arrow missing its mark
Like the love we used to share
I am orphaned, orphaned…
We are unraveling
We are unraveled.
Ch.)
Like a petal in the wind
Like the thought of giving in
Like the magic we once had
I am orphaned, orphaned
Like a flame that’s losing it’s spark
Like an arrow missing its mark
Like the love we used to share
I am orphaned, orphaned…

3/4 and 6/8
I hear your heart
And it’s the best beat I’ve found.
I like ¾
You like 6/8 even more.
One, two, three, follow me
Catch me please
If I fall in love
With you.
Here put your hand
Here put it on my heart
Can you feel the dance?
Each piece plays its part.
Four, five, six,
I can’t believe that it’s
Falling in love with you
Falling in love with you…
One, two, three, follow me
Catch me please, if I
Four, five, six
I can’t believe that its
Falling in love with you.
Falling in love with you.
Falling in love with you.

The Most

Long before the winter had passed
While we still had our dreams
You used to say “There’ll be better days
Just you wait you’ll see”.
Chasing Victorian dreams of roasted apples
And the smell of morning scones
Of candlelight and carriage rides
Of wintergreen and snow
He slept for days
He never changed the clock
At daylight savings time
Till spring had come
The hands had caught up
My love was left behind.
He said “You never do enough for me”
I said “Well you never pull your weight”
He said “How can you leave in such desperate times?”
I said “Babe, it’s not gonna change.”
I’ve learned more than I wanted about how to win a fight
Nothing that I would boast
I’d rather have learned to be more kind
To those I loved the most
I’d rather have learned to be more kind
To those I loved the most
I wish I’d learned to be more kind
To you who I loved the most.
