Comet Boy 03:41
I see a comet streaking by Could that be you up there in the midnight sky? Here for a season and gone too soon I swear I see you playing on the moon You blazed into my world so unexpectedly Radiating light like a celebrity Your wounded spirit, only I could see You wanted nothing more than just to be Your aching soul was so far beyond my reach You had so much to give, so much to teach Tormented by demons that you kept inside Then you let me in, that night you cried You were my once in a lifetime comet boy You brought music, tears, and joy Sometimes sunshine, sometimes rain The mask you wore belied your pain Where are you now…..my comet boy? Where are you now…..my comet boy?

He was ageless, he was timeless An old man, and a child Complicated, underrated He was jaded, crazy wild I saw rain clouds, he saw sunshine Everything was brighter through his eyes   I left my world…. walked in his  Each step, a new surprise I never met someone like this Each step, a new surprise When I saw the world through his magic eyes Oh the shapes and hues Like a rainbow…….A psychedelic point of view Thru his kaleidoscope Everything just looked brand new  We laughed at sad things, cried at glad things He saw life in a way Far beyond my comprehension Play was work and work was play He would love me then forget me Come back to love again He kept his heart protected Cast his feelings to the wind I never knew how he did Cast it all into the wind When I saw the world through his magic eyes Oh the shapes and hues Like a rainbow…….A psychedelic point of view Thru his kaleidoscope Everything just looked brand new  When he closed his eyes, he left his kaleidoscope to me From this point of view……  the world has changed for me

Build a Bear 02:23
Sitting all alone in an oddly empty bar, Feeling very low and very small The gin wasn’t helping, didn’t have a thing to do So...I want to the mall The mall was full of happy, it was better than a drink The lights were bright, with music everywhere The food court smelled like tacos, didn’t need a frickin thing Except...a cuddly bear The build a bear store is where i love to be I can choose the friends I want to make I tell them what to say, they never let me down And my heart, they’ll never, never break He never will desert me, no matter what I do He’ll stay with me until the very end Every time I squeeze his paw, he always say to me I’m a bear, you want to be my friend? A happy build a bear with a heart inside his chest Never argues with anything I say Sitting on my bed, he’s there when I come home I know he’ll never go away

Your smile reveals so little of what you’re going through Your eyes reflect a sadness that always follows you Hoping for acceptance, you wear a happy face Feeling isolation………. in that lonely place A man’s deflective humor made the whole world laugh Now engraved in stone, is this, his epitaph: Behind his smile, this tortured man lost his way The tears that fell within his heart…... told him not to stay A mystery, the look in your eyes I wonder what’s behind your smile, is it telling lies? A thin disguise?  A mask you wear Hiding all the secrets you won’t share If only I could see…….what’s behind your smile When Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa All those years ago He created an illusion An artist trick so no one would know What’s behind her smile What’s behind her smile Will we ever know?
5.
Don’t talk, can we turn down the chaos We don’t need to speak at all Let’s sit on our bench in the graveyard And wait for nighttime to fall My mind is so craving silence Still, I want to be with you Conversation is so overrated Sometimes there’s nothing new Let’s watch the sunset, wait for moonrise See a dazzle of stars in the clear midnight skies Words only complicate, only confuse A mind full of nothing to use I’ll share in this silence with you  The noise in my head keeps on screaming Please make it all go away I’m trying to leave it behind me Words always get in the way

Dream Away 03:14
What if we had never met? What if you had never heard my name? Would we just have different regrets Stand here lost and broken all the same, Wondering why the hell we came? Close your eyes You know there’s nothing left to say It’s time to dream It’s time to dream away Hearts in hand and arms entwined Down the road together all our days Doubts and fears and houses divided This is where we go our separate ways We’re in and out In and out of phase sorry no one told me sometimes love comes in disguise This cold surprise Isn’t what I meant to say

What If 02:21
What if you didn't listen to Rufus? Let Fiona bring you down? Let Meloncholia ruin your week? Would we be doing the town They slipped into your dark side Took away your light What if you had waited till morning That sad and rainy night What if? Oh, damn, What if What if there was something I could say? What if? My heart cries What if? I had found a way to make you stay What if I'd taken a left turn Driven out of your sight? What I took you with me Would we be alright What if I'd picked up the telephone When you called that day Was there something you needed? Something you had to say
9.
This Town 02:44
This town has lost its luster, this town has lost its shine Long before I met you, this town was mine You came and turned the lights up, made this whole place glow We found adventure, everywhere we’d go Yellow leaves have turned to brown, Winter chill is here  The ghost of you is everywhere, Although it’s been a year If I stay here any longer, I’m gonna lose my mind Gotta travel on and leave this town behind Lifted up on angel’s wings, you must be looking down The city was your playground, now it’s just a town The chair beside me’s empty, still I see you there But it’s just lonely spaces and memories everywhere The symphony is silent, the movie house is dark Rose’s bench is empty in Olbrich Par The market where we stole the clock, has closed its doors, that’s true The bookstore that you loved will sell, the book I write of you
10.
The music man in black king of melodies Could write a song that brought you to your knees When I was feeling down, he would sometimes stay And say let’s make some music today CHORUS: The music man in black, and I don’t mean Johnny Cash Blazed into our hearts, burned too bright to last We gotta’ keep the beat, we gotta stay on track Cuz the music man in black………….He ain’t never comin back He passed our way too fast, wasn’t here for long But the demons that took him can’t silence our song His melody is ours, his legacy lives on Burning in our souls, even though he’s gone
11.
Eternity of seasons, always on parade Never ending changes marching on Frozen here in time, I wonder where I’d be If had waited until dawn The world keeps on turning, tricks around the sun You’re chasing dreams, my dreams are done Now I wonder, if I should have never Cuz I will be 30 forever Never knew I’d miss so much, dreaded growing old Still had much to do, my story wasn’t told I regret the night, I penned that note, Now I’m just watching, but I don’t get a vote Mom and Dad are growing older I see the pain they feel If only this were just a bad dream I’m sorry oh, it’s real
12.
New Normal 03:02
When you were you you brought the colors Found in the flowers of the fields  Oh it was normal for you to chase all of the colors you could embrace to weave tapestries, paint future memories But now normal has changed To something new  It's the new normal, but it's not the same You can't come over when I call your name You're laughter, it can't ring through the air It'll never be the same but I'll always care Because in my new normal our love is still there Our love is still there  Now people say death makes the phoenix rise anew And there's new music playing because of you But if it were up to me, I'd make the old normal do 
13.
When you went away my world turned dark Thought the sun would never shine again Living here without you seemed impossible It was so unthinkable but then I heard the song you used to sing now I will sing it I felt the joy you always brought, now I will bring it The power of our love will keep you near Your memory will live on as long as I am here Going down the path we used to walk Nothing's changed here yet you're gone The sun comes up the birds still sing and seasons change I'll keep moving on I heard the song you used to sing now I will sing it I felt the joy you always brought, now I will bring it The power of our love will keep you near (your) Your memory will live on as long as I am here So I will take all this anger, pain and sorrow And I'll try to let it go I'll let love and forgiveness fill this hole in my heart Even though I miss you so
