A Daughter Raymy Krumrei and Warren Sellers Verse 1 Years of praying, months of waiting Days spent contemplating how your life is gonna change Hours of labor then a second later You’re staring at a person who before was just a name You got the blankets, the crib and the pink paint You think you’re ready but you ain’t Chorus 1 What is this? It’s like Christmas Your heart is blowing up You feel somewhere between Superman and man you’re not enough It’s crazy amazing and scary beautiful There’s so much you want to be for her, so much you still don’t know It’s a game-changer, a man-maker, a life-starter When you have a daughter Verse 2 Soon her crawlin’ leads to walkin’ Then she climbs up on your lap like she’s a princess on her throne One day you wake up and she’s wearing make-up Instead of doing Barbie’s hair, she’s working on her own Then it’s boys and some honest conversations And at times you’re gonna test each other’s patience |
Chorus 2 What is this tough business To see her growing up? Some days you’re still her Superman, somedays you’re out of touch It’s crazy amazing, she’s scary beautiful You’d like to lock her up somewhere but love to watch her go. Yeah It’s a real roller-coaster, a heart-stopper When you have a daughter Verse 3 When you have a daughter, you swear much less and open up more doors When you have a daughter, some jokes aren’t that funny anymore When you have a daughter It’s worth the changes that you both go through When she says, “Hey Dad I hope I find a guy who’s just like you” Chorus 3 What is this? It’s like Christmas ‘Cuz when she’s all grown up You’ll swear that you’ve received the greatest gift there ever was It’s crazy, amazing, she’s still so beautiful And how a guy like you could be so lucky you don't know But you thank God every day that you’ve got her When you have a daughter Raymy Krumrei (661)733-9451 raymski@msn.com raymykrumrei.com |

Take it Slow Lyric by Brian Ramsay and Mary Ann Daugherty Verse 1 We’re like two ships in the night that seldom meet Time is full and love is incomplete Now we’re down beat, back seat, repeat Can we change this pace Pre Chorus I want you to dance with me Make some plans with me But let’s not go fast Chorus We should take it slow we don’t need to rush things now I want you to know I’ll always be around I won’t let you go. ‘Cause you’ve got everything I need We should take it slow Slow down with me tonight Down to feel alive To feel alive |
Verse 2 Roof top, our spot where we can groove Put your records on but keep it smooth All night, starlight, skin tight Can we keep this pace (Pre Chorus) (Chorus) Bridge We can put on Marvin, hear him sing Baby there ain’t nothing Like the real thing (Chorus) Mdaugherty1313@gmail.com |

My Flowers Look Good I wanted to stay in bed all day cause last night you told me goodbye Decided to work in my garden instead Got dressed and dragged myself outside I don’t need to go far to change how I feel Morning Glories in my yard help me heal My flowers look good From the seeds I have sewn Like them I will grow I’ll be okay on my own You were bad for me, that’s understood I feel better now, like my flowers, I’m good |
Sunflowers remind me I’m meant to shine Daisy Chains whisper now you’re free The red and yellow roses make me less blue Show me how bright my future can be When I went back inside, called it a day Found a vase tall and wide for this bouquet Repeat Chorus You’re gone like the weeds, Now I can attend to my needs Repeat Chorus Written by Sudi (Rick) Karatas and Ardis Olson copyright May 2020 |

West Coast Bound by Nathan Jacobson Verse 1: She’s chasing after tomorrow like no other day She’s dropping everything like the summer rain Going into the next day after the sunset fades She’s ready to escape from all of the pain Chorus 1: She’s heading for west coast bound Not letting anything hold her back now She’s heading for west coast bound Ready to set foot on new ground She’s heading for west coast bound The vines of her past won’t thorn her down |
Verse 2: Hot tears melted mascara down her face She begged on her knees for a saving grace After feeling lost after her man of 5 years walked away Blindsided with no reason stormed more rain Chorus 2: (Same as Chorus 1) Verse 3: She began to wonder where true hope lies Felt content centering Jesus in her life Smiling as the breeze stroked her blonde hair Lighting her heart with an adventurous flare. Chorus 3: (Same as Chorus 1) |

You Look Good on Me Raymy Krumrei VERSE 1 I was the guy, a little bit shy, who nobody knew was there But now I cruise in like a rockstar grinnin at a red carpet affair My friends all see a brand new me and they want to know why It’s not your style to take credit But girl I’ve changed and you did it CHORUS You are the smile that I’m wearing from my head to my toes Yeah you dressed me up in your big ol’ love and now it’s startin’ to show Ooh clothes might make the man but you took my hand, and made me the man that I want to be Everyone can see that you look good on me. |
VERSE 2 I never thought I could find someone who fits me like you do I swear I thought you were putting me on when you said you that loved me too Now I could see a house and three kids in their Sunday best It shows you never can tell then Who knew I’d clean up well when… CHORUS C 2020 Raymy Krumrei raymskji@msn.com raymykrumrei.com |

This Town's Not Me Without You Karen Yates and Andy Sells (VERSE 1) This town has always been my home sweet home. Everybody knows me – it’s my comfort zone. Why’d you have to move in just down the street… Turn my head and sweep me off my feet? Our love was easy, like a river flow Then came the hardest thing, to let you go I knew your destiny was beyond my world I told you, “I’m just a small-town girl”… (But) (CHORUS) This town’s not me without you-- Doesn’t fill me up like it used to. I guess this girl can change more than she knew, ‘Cause this town’s not me…without you. |
(VERSE 2) Since you’ve been gone, I’ve come to realize The only home I need is right there in your eyes Can you forgive me, can we start again? Re-invented... from the love we had back then? ('Cause...) CHORUS BRIDGE My roots are in this town, it's made me who I am... I thought I'd stay here all my life, but love changed all my plans-- I hope it's not too late for us, now that I finally understand… CHORUS Without you. Without you. Without you. |

Who Needs Love? Brie Burns VERSE 1 Wasted my prime Pining over men Didn’t know any better Had somebody told me The truth about love And how it’s like a fetter Well I wouldn’t’ve spent my heydays Trapped in emotional jail Now I spend my time Usin’ music as a form of bail CHORUS Who needs love? (when there’s rock ‘n’ roll) I said, who needs love? (when there’s rock ‘n’ roll) Again, who needs love? (when there’s rock ‘n’ roll) Who needs love? (when there’s rock ‘n’ roll) |
VERSE 2 Haven’t looked back Since I made my great escape Heartbreaker on the run Fillin’ my soul with Sex, drugs, and Axl Rose Livin’ like I’m twenty-one Fuck if I give it up For hugs, cuddles, kisses, and lies I was born to be wild And I ain’t one to compromise (CHORUS) BRIDGE Rock is the fruit of the forbidden tree Take a bite and soon you will see The road to hell is what sets you free Now abandon Jesus and follow me (CHORUS) |

VERSE 3: I remember your beautiful smile I’d say a silly thing Your eyes would be right on me VERSE 4: I don’t see you laugh anymore Oh spring seemed to pass us by Now we’re here in mid-July PRE-CHORUS CHORUS BRIDGE: I think I saw it coming a month ago We were lying in bed together but I felt alone Time to face the truth and say goodbye There’s nothing more to do but leave it all behind CHORUS “Low” ©2020 ASCAP Mobile: 619-286-2837 / Email: AndieMackenzieMusic@gmail.com https://www.instagram.com/andiemackenzie / 13343 Fallen Leaf Rd., Poway, CA 92064 All rights owned by Andie Mackenzie.
