What You Don’t Remember
(Rick (Sudi) Karatas) I can still taste the soup you made While I was home sick from school I recall the day you taught me to swim In our next door neighbor’s pool I saw you stand and applaud When I was on stage in my cap and gown You still mean so much to me But to you, I’m a stranger now I won’t forget what you don’t remember Each precious moment we were together You’ve been robbed of your memory Slipping further away from me But that won’t stop my love for you That will last forever, I won’t forget what you don’t remember |
You were there when my bride and I Nervously walked down the aisle I was proud when you held your new grandson On your face a radiant smile Repeat Chorus The light once in your eyes Has been replaced with a blank stare But in my mind are all the good times we shared Repeat Chorus copyright July 2020 |

Kings For The Night
Kings For The Night
KINGS FOR THE NIGHT
Brother and me Used to dig up lead At the trooper trainin range We’d hear those shots when the firin stopped Pick Em out of the sand and clay Haul Em back in an old red wagon Wash Em off as the sun would set Daddy drive us down to get our pay From the man at the tackle and bait We were Kings Kings for the night It was long ago It was once upon a time Had a pocketful money Not a worry on our minds Bein Kings We were Kings for the night Cranes in Dusty arcades That were loud as Jersey Thunder Wet dollar bills sandy change Pin ball machines sneaking in late |
Pay was ours To do what we want Always came home with empty pockets Spinnin wheel shoulda been been a toll For the time I spent and the quarters it stole We were Kings Kings for the night It was long ago It was once upon a time Had a pocketful money Not a worry on our minds We were kings Kings for the night Took a walk down the beach The other night where we used to roam Between father time and the hurricanes There was nothing left unchanged But the moon and the ocean breeze Made me close my eyes I could feel that free I could hear those sounds I could see my brother and me Bein kings Kings for the night It was long ago It was once upon a time We were Kings Kings for the night |

Forever With You
Lyric by Mary Ann Daugherty Carl E. Baldassarre Verse If somehow each hour could last a day That wasn't meant to fade away I would need more time to say How much I love you in every way Every single way If I had a thousand wishes granted There is only one that I would need That's because the day I met you Was the greatest gift I've ever received Chorus There is nothing I'd rather do Than spend forever here with you There is nothing I'd rather do Than spend forever with you |
Verse
When we're together nothing else exists You've got a smile I can't resist Let's tune the world out while we're dancing slow You feel so good you know I can't let go Chorus There is nothing I'd rather do Than spend forever here with you There is nothing I'd rather do Than spend forever with you There's nothing I'd rather do Nothing I'd rather do What I wouldn't do To spend forever with you To spend forever with you Contact Mary Ann Daugherty Mdaugherty1313@gmail.com 440-836-2669 |

Angel City

Amy Loftus
Amy Loftus Angel City I stand on the ocean beaches are my seams I am filled with dreamers dreamin up their dreams I’ve made room for millions over three centuries Girls on trains from Kansas their dads in factories Junkies smoking in afternoon sun out on balconies And queens and kings made out of mail room employees i’m a city of angels angel city i’m a city of angels I’m 1 i’m 10 i’m slower when i am 405 I’m waiting for the call with you and i am on your side I’m the air up on Mulholland that is still pure and clean You who drove from Tennessee on faith and gasoline You who cry in small apartments hoping to be seen I am here look at my mountains and breathe you’ll know what i mean |
I am ladies of the canyon a horse in a blooming meadow I am more than sportscars, stars and 90210 I am also gangs in south central, people sleeping on the street Mothers behind bars on windows son covered in a sheet Housewives on the golf course ignoring gunfire heat And you who know solution is no a diplomatic feat |
Take Back Your Love

Take Back Your Love
Jessie Lark Verse I know I’m not without my faults But I try so hard to give you all of me It doesn’t mean a thing My hands are sore from tug of wars Tear stained night and keeping score of all we’re lacking Pre-chorus I just want to hold you And make you know I care Haven’t I told you I’m not going anywhere Chorus It just hurts too much When you take back your love I need you to stay If you keep pushing me away I won’t be strong enough to take back your love |
Verse 2 I can’t live this way forever When loving you gets hard to weather you’ll Cind me Swept up in the tides Do you think that I deserve this? To be pushed around for your sole purpose to hide from anything that shines? Pre-chorus Chorus Bridge Please let me come home Please let me come home, Please let me come home Don’t make me come home Chorus |
What Would Jesus Do
Paul Jacques
Paul Jacques
What Would Jesus Do? Verse 1: Lately I've been seeing some things coming out of my TV Too many people crying Too many chanting, “Only we!” I can hear your anger And it makes my heart go still Jesus spoke of a sword, it’s true was it really for blood to spill? Pre-Chorus: Heard a saying while back And it seemed to make some sense Maybe I’m just naïve But I think it went something like this |
Chorus: Tell me what, just what Tell me what would Jesus do? If it’s all about love and justice Is it just red, white, and blue? Were He really God’s son, once come Are you sure that He’d carry a gun? ‘Cause from what I’ve seen, obscene And I’m really just not so sure that if He knew Tell me what would Jesus do? If He were you Verse 2: It doesn’t always seem it’s true Have we really come a long, long way? The moral arc of history Does it really bend justices’ way You see the passion and anger It’s hard to quell all the doubt and fear I’ll never stop dreaming of the day That our peace is finally here Pre-Chorus / Chorus / Solo / Chorus Words & Music by Paul Jacques & Scott David Kissack |

Like Like Famous
Written by: Cameron Walt and Elliott Wilde Verse 1: On my phone, on scrolling spree When the premonition came to be I guess you’d say it was programmed fate Cause the algorithm showed you to me Pre Chorus: I don’t care about these likes because they’re not from you I’ll keep on posting every night until you see me too Chorus: I wanna be Like Like Famous A million followers would probably do I wanna be Like Like Famous It’s all a waste unless you follow me too |

Amour (Lyrics)
Brie Burns
Brie Burns
Amour
Brie Burns VERSE 1 Stay a little longer Don’t break the illusion Star-crossed lovers Play along with my delusion Dreamers trapped in reverie Rebels of reality But eventually truth will meet fantasy When the worlds collide Oh, won’t you greet me on the other side? Amour, you’re the muse in my heart Forevermore, you’ll live on through my art Phantom composer of my score You hold me ransom as your troubadour |
VERSE 2 Fall with me Into the season of reason Where the rain beats a gentle sweet rhythm Showered with pain; a lamenting lyricism Tell me, my love Which is more regrettable: Cutting our fairytale short Or prolonging the inevitable? CHORUS BRIDGE We stomped out the fire But the embers still remain Extinguish them Before they reignite the flame CHORUS ________________________ Brie Burns (253) 219-5545 sgburns1991@gmail.com |
Straight To The Good Part
Cameron Walt
Cameron Walt
Straight to the good part By Cameron Walt VERSE One of us left the ice cream out One of us left the coffee boiling Somehow we forgot about dessert Cause tonight just drew us in With tension or adrenaline Couldn’t have gone better if rehearsed oh we did our best to take it slow But we both knew where we wanted to go CHORUS Straight to the good part when we just can’t help ourselves Straight to the good part Straight to the good part Yeah we don’t need nothing else Straight to the good part |
VERSE 2 It takes two to play the game And with you it never feels the same Not when you look at me that way A little race from both our chairs A little chase on up the stairs I love it when your wild side can play Cause right now we’ll give the urge no fight save the candles for another night BRIDGE CHORUS |
Life's On Standby

Singer/Songwriter: Sabrina K Sapal
Guitar: Rio Grande Music: StringVibe Is there a place that we could meet right now because of these changes? I finally know what it feels like for those poor things in cages We could say hi on zoom but there will be no hug exchanges How do we feel right now And what do we do right now (We will fly up to the sky Like free little butterflies Yes our life’s on standby But I’m still waiting for our cup of chai) 2x |
How do we make up for the time we didn’t have together? We’ll smile a little bigger around a fire in cold weather And make some crazy jokes about each other altogether That’s what best friends do And that’s how we carry through (We will fly up to the sky Like free little butterflies Yes our life’s on standby But I’m still waiting for our cup of chai) 2x |
