All Of A Sudden ©2015 Going 'bout my day in work and in play, I'm doin' ok Day turns to night, still doin' alright [chorus] Then all of a sudden I needed to see her I started to need her much more, All of a sudden my heart opened wider I'm deeper inside her than before Callin' out her name, doesn't sound the same, echoes round my brain I can heal you & know you feel it too [chorus 2x] Out for a drive, feelin' all alive with that smile inside Then I look again, I'm wearing a big grin [1/2 chorus] music And all of you here, remember the cheer when you knew they were dear You couldn't walk away & neither could they! When all of a sudden you needed to see them You started to need them much more & All of a sudden your heart opened widened You're deeper inside them than before [chorus]

2) Leap o' Faith 3:28 When these tears well up in your soul What part is missing from the puzzle makes you whole The tired groan of defeat & surrender to the night the candlelight is fading out of sight When these tears are chasing down the rain And these windows reflecting only pain Looking past branches twisting dancing whispering December What woke me now, trying to remember [chorus] I won't ask you to walk in my shoes Take a leap of faith baby, what do you got to loose no, I won't ask you to walk in my shoes so take a leap of faith baby, nothing else to choose [chorus] When these tears well up in your soul

Spellbound 03:37
Spellbound 3:37 [chorus] Spellbound, just keep me spellbound what keeps me spellbound We're talking 'bout what's paramount what makes life worth living and what makes you wanna jump and shout? Recognize these feelings of such joy & wonder Rockin' & a-reeling with this spell I'm under Shooting stars are louder than a clap of thunder Watching from the shoreline w/ both moon & sun here spellbound, what keeps me Gazing out to the horizon line, reaching toward infinity can lead us out of time Just keep me, keep me spellbound, just keep me spellbound Ever on a quest thru time suspension Ignited and caressed in a new direction Some of us can beam about the picture's story Other ones are following their muse's calling, spellbound 'Cause you never wanna be fading away lost in the shuffle Always wanna be rising free of all this mediocrity Just keep me, keep me spellbound, just keep me spellbound what keeps me Mesmerized and fantasized that you would find me Open mind and heart what's gonna set my soul free Peace be found within a daydream waking slumber Grateful for the feeling of this spell I'm under, spellbound 'Cause you never wanna be fading away lost in the shuffle Just keep me, keep me spellbound, Spellbound

Up On The Bluffs 4:17 ©2015 Kim De Meo & Larry Saklad Up on the bluffs Winfield stands waiting greeting weary travelers as they arrive Up on the bluffs Winfield’s handshake is ready welcoming patrons up the cobblestone drive This gentleman’s journey began in life early He carried their bags for a dime His smile warmed the tough ones and melted the gruff ones He offers to capture their snapshot in time [chorus] Up on the bluffs Winfield stands waiting Up on the bluffs, Up on the bluffs This gentleman's journey began in life early And now he’s a real dapper Dan His smile warms the tough ones and melts all the gruff ones Offering bottles of coral pink sand Timeless and gracious he’ll journey to places So many friends ready to see him again [chorus] ...Winfield stands waiting Up on the bluffs...

You said my name like a sweet benediction A moth and a flame, we danced around fire Despite any doubt or others' prediction We feel much more than just burning desire You said my name like a sweet proposition Charter our course no map is required Turn up the sound babe, you said with conviction Love's taken flight and I'm feeling inspired Stuck in the labrinth reversing direction Not knowing which way to go Changing direction, no end to this darkness Desperate to find our way home You said my name like a need or addiction Heating my bloodstream, man I'm on fire Despite any doubt and others' prediction Love's taken flight and I'm feeling inspired See thru a bird's view the path is revealing Clarity is the way to go Free of the labrinth, forward direction Finally find our way home You said my name, since you said my name You said my name like a sweet benediction

6) Oh Philadelphia ©2010 4:20 Why's this old piano make me sad when all I wanna feel is glad But every note just makes me weep Out on the corner there's a man and he's missing his band His horn just echoes down the street (chorus) Oh Philadelphia, why can't we come together You've been my rock since my youth Oh Philadelphia, we've come through stormy weather Only to find all your guns cocked, ready to shoot Fear, if it's just illusion what's the chaos and confusion With our embrace all shadows gone You know I've ridden every rail walked down every dead end trail Come face to face with all alone (chorus) Mistakes, you know I've made my share but there's no punishment there Always thought that Kharma collects it's due No, it's a myth all wrong it's how we drag us along Keeping us from happiness and true, oh baby... Oh Philadelphia, why can't we come together You've been my rock since my youth Oh Philadelphia, starting now and forever This city of Love holds the truth

Don't You See? 4:05 Waking to the sounds of the thunder and lightning the winds of doubt all around Listen to all the voices from my inside fighting so focused on the lost and the found I want to know the best way to go so sure there's so much more so just gotta find that door I have looked far and wide open eyed on this journey faith unswayed- Your will be done I've prayed & I've strayed but never lost sight of the story lately the dream seems like another re-run then you said, Don't you see, there's no mystery All I've ever wanted lay hidden right in front of me Don't you see? Don't you see, try as we must but all we ever wanted lay hidden right in front of us Don't you see, it's just boom or bust All we ever wanted is to share what's inside of us Don't you see?

What If?! 03:35
What If?! 3:34 What if this whole world's our dream and nothing's what it seems an illusion of flesh and bone What if all we see is wrong and everything all along has been to keep from Heaven's home (coming home) where we belong What if perception's a choice with power to hide love's voice who speaks the truth of who we are What if there is no death life continues without breath maybe home was never far never that far All our life just hangin' by a thread, hangin' by a thread And don't get stuck in the web 2x What if we're all of one mind but that memory left behind and feeling so afraid What if all this is true I must be joined with you Would this erase the myth we made? (what we made) to be separate All our life just hangin' by a thread... What if, what if What if we remembered heaven?

"Christmas On The Block" © Alan Mann 1983 [rip '87] by permission- Mann family, Robin (Alan Mann’s sister)- “You did a fantastic job with Christmas On The Block... would love for you to do this, anything to keep his name, voice, memory alive”. There's a streetlight that sits above the night and it shines it's grey light on the midnight air and the houses twinkle on the block but there's one house that shines a special way out there It's Christmas in the city and the trees are lighted pretty but the prettiest Christmas tree of all, They can see all the colors that we cannot and theirs' is the most beautiful Christmas on the Block Though they cannot see the light of day and their night is forever the fact still remains In this world of confusion there is peace There is hope in despair sometimes the beauty is a beast And they cannot see the lightning and they cannot see the thunder But they know what no-one understands The beauty is a blessing, love is all we got And theirs' is the most beautiful Christmas on the Block In the darkest corner of the night only dreams illuminate their eyes They can see all the colors that we cannot And theirs' is the most beautiful Christmas on the Block The cannot see the lightning and they cannot see the thunder but they know what no-one understands The beauty is a blessing, love is all we got And theirs' is the most beautiful Christmas on the Block
