Father Time Gazing in a looking glass Who's that staring back at me I don't recognize the face Of who I used to be What happened to that boyish look Used to turn girl's heads around Now I'm gray and older Time flew like the speed of sound Why didn't I see this coming As I traveled through the years Lived my life in the fast lane Always hiding my doubts and fears How come I never noticed Life was getting away from me Guess if you're not looking There's nothing there to see Oh oh oh father time will get you There's nothing you can do or say We're only here for a moment in time Then we're on our way I ain't in no hurry to go There's so much I need to do Got to grab onto every minute That I can hold onto to Time can be a friend or foe Depending on the road you choose Live out each day at a time Don't care about what you'll lose CHORUS Then we're on our way

Travel time Published by timothymichaelmusic 28 JUL 2023 V1. Has it been ten years already? ‘Cos I ain’t where I’m supposed to be All the hopes and dreams I had back then Turned into babies and memories Now Tommy is Dr. Jacobs Dave’s out from his felony And I’m the same old singer Searching for a melody Chorus I was going out for just one drink But I had it twenty times ‘Cos the alcohol distorts the truth And blurs all of the lines I know they’re gonna leave me And get back to their old lives But the stories just keep on flowing Like we all could travel time V2. I’ll be right here in this small town When they come back in another ten years And we’ll tell the same old stories And drink way too many beers I’ll find the road out of town by then Leave this small dot on the map But the wheels on my old tour bus Always follow the gravel back. Chorus I was going out for just one drink But I had it twenty times ‘Cos the alcohol distorts the truth And blurs all of the lines I know they’re gonna leave me And get back to their old lives But the stories just keep on flowing Like we all could travel time Bridge I’m Going through the motions, but I ain’t getting anywhere Thought I’d be much further by now, and it kinda don’t seem fair Everyone around me is becoming their best self Guess I’m stuck here forever so pull that bottle off the shelf Chorus I was going out for just one drink But I had it twenty times ‘Cos the alcohol distorts the truth And blurs all of the lines I know they’re gonna leave me And get back to their old lives But the stories just keep on flowing Like we all could travel time Outtro Like we all could travel time Yeah we’re drinkin’ and tellin’ lies

V1 I met her when she was all of seventeen. I was a young man going on eighteen. We fell in love and thought it was everything. The world was ours and we lived inside a dream. CH Under the moonlight, in the fields of wheat We’re making love and not thinking of tomorrow And every day was a perfect memory We didn’t think of a world so full of sorrow. And those memories come back to me In the distant mist of those lost summer days. Ah, of those lost summer days. V2 The summer yielded to the chill of autumn. And winter snow was soon upon the streets. The years went by, and we moved on to others And life was never like it used to be. (Chorus) (Bridge) We were in our teens, and we were full of dreams, And we thought that our love would never die. We were full of hope, but we would come to know So many more lovers and broken hearts. (Chorus) (Outro) We were on the edge of meeting the world head-on. We would come to know the loss of childhood innocence. We were on the edge of meeting the world head-on. We would come to know the loss of childhood innocence, yeah….

These Days These days It seems everything Moves at the speed of sound These days The people I use to know Don’t come around Sittin’ here on my back porch Alone with these thoughts Watchin’ the world go ‘round 1st Chorus And all the headlines Seem to reappear In some playback scene That I’ve done seen The more things change The more they stay the same And so they spend their time Lookin’ for someone to blame For the mess we’re in In These days These days We don’t talk things Over anymore These days Been thinkin’ bout the waste of time And what it’s all been for Just reachin’ for the dreams we had We’ve lost everything Searchin’ for something more 2nd Chorus And all the headlines Seem to reaffirm We don't change our ways With our lessons learned The more things change The more they stay the same And so we spend our time Lookin’ for someone to blame For the mess we’re in In these days These days I sometimes wonder ‘bout the things that slipped away These days I’m down on my knees More and more each day Stuck here in this same old place Alone with these thoughts Lookin’ for some savin’ grace 3rd Chorus And all the headlines Bring to my mind How that things have changed In this life gone bye And time moves on But I can’t change a thing And so I spend my time Holdin’ myself to blame For the things I’ve done In these days For the things I’ve done In these days Oh…Oh...Oh...the things I’ve done…In these days

Cardboard box V1 There’s Dad’s newspaper from the eighties, He read them black and white pages daily, Sitting there ,in his chair, trashing headlines, Now it’s packing paper, inside this cardboard box of mine, V2 Here’s Mom’s Home and Garden recipes, In an old, new cookbook handed down to me, Its where she penciled in her how to guidelines, On cooking secrets inside this cardboard box of mine, Chorus Filled top to bottom with remember when’s, Like I’m right back there all over again, Where old familiar feelings never die, And family and friends forever shine, Four worn out walls, package taped outside, That’s my life, in this cardboard box of mine, V3 Took this Kodak with a Fun Saver, Of my best friend Steve, time made us strangers, Friends like him are hard as hell to find, God knows he was one of a kind, in this cardboard box of mine, Chorus Filled top to bottom with remember when’s, Like I’m right back there all over again, Where old familiar feelings never die, And family and friends forever shine, Four worn out walls, package taped outside, That’s my life in this cardboard box of mine, Bridge As the stories unfold ,my emotions overflow, can’t hold on to letting go....., Chorus Filled top to bottom with remember when’s, Like I’m right back there all over again, Where old familiar feelings never die, And family and friends forever shine, Four worn out walls, package taped outside, That’s my life in this cardboard box of mine, Yeah that’s my life in this cardboard box of mine,

IN TIME TO CATCH THE WIND It's been so long, I've got to see you Lady, You are my friend If you have some time, maybe I'll drop by In time to catch the wind In time to catch the wind Hold on fast, you're moving too slow Those with doubt will never win It's hard to unwind, when you're runnin' behind In time to catch the wind In time to catch the wind It won't stop to let us in So hold on fast and we'll always last In time to catch the wind You have always known, the way I love you so You can count on me to tell the truth Words can sometimes wait, now don't you hesitate Give me your heart and today we'll start Runnin' to catch the wind In some story books and wherever you look The road it never ends Follow that road and watch the story unfold In time to catch the wind Runnin' to catch the wind It won't stop to let us in You and me Girl, we'll always be there In time to catch the wind W.

Footprints On The Beach Today I was still yours, tonight you are still mine, we're still side by side and starry-eyed under the starlit sky. But what tomorrow will bring, no one can foresee, there are no guarantees or promises, that's how life is. CHORUS: The trees will lose their leaves, summer grass its green and the blue sky will lose its sheen. The rains will come in and they will wash away our footprints on the beach. So, come closer to me and let's make believe that this is never-ending. Let's just receive full-heartedly all that life is lending. You're the poem and I'm the page, I'm the ocean and you're the waves, there's not one without the other, that's where we are right now. The world would surely be so meaningless and bleak if you weren't right there beside me with your hang ups and your dreams. CHORUS Bridge: Maybe all the love that we ever feel will be stored somewhere for forever. CHORUS CHORUS ©2019Veli-MattiMurtovaara

Why should I ? Empty room empty bed Broken bottle I can't mend Always living in my own head I'm not listening to what is being said Heavy heart crowded soul Wearing feelings I don't know Feeling lost and breathing slow And I'm not listening to what is being said Why? Why should I? Why should I care When the only one I ever loved has gone away, gone away, gone away. Now love is out of reach so far it seems Only in existence in the sadness of my dreams Needing consolation until things turn alright I say to myself your out of time And tears fall down in heaven in my mind I created you, creating us into the night sky Oh why? So why should I? Why should I care When the only one I ever loved has gone away, gone away,gone away Should I care, should I care, should I? Should I care, should I care , should I? Should I care, should I care, should I? Should I care, should I care? Why? So why should I? Why should I care Why, why should I? Why should I care When the only one I ever loved has gone away,way gone away.

Forever Might Not Do It After All written by Carin Fradin and Andrew Bundy We’d been in that park together Many times before you leaned on in With that first kiss on my lips I knew we could never go back again Time floated like a feather Champagne secrets and magnolia skies Then seasons changed and you pulled away But I, I can’t get you out of my mind Pre Chorus: I don’t know if I did something wrong But here’s what I’ve been thinking ever since you’ve been gone Chorus: I wonder if, someday soon I’ll wake up not missing you Not wishing for another call Or hoping the final tears will fall Though they say time’s what it takes to fix a broken heart Forever might not do it after all Verse2: Still have that picture on my desk Can’t bring myself to put it in a drawer I didn’t see it then, you were looking at me instead Of that pink sunset we’d been waiting for Pre Chorus: I don’t know if I did something wrong But here’s what I’ve been thinking ever since you’ve been gone Chorus Bridge: I wouldn’t trade a single day we had Even knowing we would never last But my smile’s never been the same without you Chorus

A Legend In His Time C2024 Karel Daniels It lasted only seven seconds Few made it out alive With broken bones and painful moans They were lucky to survive Many cowboys rode him And many cowboys fell That old bull was raging full of A red-eyed demon from hell Chorus He was a legend in his time The cost to challenge was a dime With a bull-rope wrapped around a fist They'd pray and hold on tight But no one could beat that wild beast He was a legend in his time The prize to win was farmland An acre near a lake Enough to make the sanest man Try to take the stake In a corner of Wyoming A town they call Cheyenne The people came to win a claim That's where it all began Chorus He was a legend in his time The cost to challenge was a dime With a bull-rope wrapped around a fist They'd pray and hold on tight But no one could beat that wild beast He was a legend in his time Bridge Some say on a rainy day You'll see his spirit in the fog Still thrashin' round that old fairground And so the legend lives on Chorus He was a legend in his time The cost to challenge was a dime With a bull-rope wrapped around a fist They'd pray and hold on tight But no one could beat that wild beast He was a legend in his time

I remember it all like yesterday Just two young kids on a one-way street Thought we knew it all but we knew nothing And we were crazy Singing Alabama Shakes on the Florida Georgia Line Running out of money in a never-ending sky Planning and scheming so our dreams could fly And we were crazy And if I could turn it back You know I would so fast Right to the beginning And if time stood still I would turn that dial Right to the beginning And if I had one wish with you It wouldn’t be a happy ending I’d want another beginning We hit a few bumps on a narrow road But that’s all now fifty years ago We wished away the fear But chased away the time I remember when I first called you mine And if I could turn it back You know I would so fast Right to the beginning And if time stood still I would wait until We could go to the beginning I’ll always hold your heart as the miles roll by And promise to until the day I die Wanna know our whole story, but I’ll let it play out Just wish there was a way to make it slow down And if I could turn it back You know I would so fast Right to the beginning If I could choose one day Baby, I would stay Right at the beginning And if I had one wish with you It wouldn’t be a happy ending I’d want another beginning

Verse 1 I drove to see you one last time My heart was racing, memories filled my mind Childhood games and nature walks, dancing till dawn We were always close friends I choked back the tears and tried to catch my breath Then I walked through your door Chorus 36 minutes that's all we had And I held you close in my arms We talked of life and love, laughed at all our fun And we cried about the times you wouldn't see 36 minutes just you and me Verse 2 We talked about your family and your fears We talked about the things we wished we'd tried Twenty minutes passed, I'd still so much to say, then your breath began to change The nurse came to the door, I could feel you slip away Sixteen minutes the hardest of my life Chorus Bridge You were gone and my soul cried out in pain Here in my heart you will always remain Chorus

Come on better days V1 I remember the endless rays of summer A trip to Galveston as a “date” Jumping sea weed in briney water Star fish on the Promenade A sweet kiss and water ice CH We all want to get back to living Through disease and decay Come on better days No limit to our believing As our sea anchors drift away Come on better days V2 I can remember days of wonder Colored chalk scratched out on the concrete Whimsical words and colors Children playing stickball in the street Wet sneakers and ice cream CH BR All the wisdom that passes Like fragile blown glass Come on better days We still set our sights on the stars Through the interstellar dark Come on better days Our hearts still spark and blaze Through the Pea Soup misty haze Come on better days V3 Now ache concern for the family Old and new life huddled in darkling shadow I play board games to kill the anxiety Anybody remember how to play Uno? Hog the controller and popcorn CH CH

The Little Whiles by James Trask Intro: Weighing pros and cons Can’t seem to move on V1: I don’t hang out with royalty You were the closest thing to that to me You dazzled with culture and fancy clothes I saw only your beauty I didn’t guess the cost to win I never dove so deep or will again All that I’ve paid only God knows I just keep on payin’ Pre-Ch: I don’t need you anymore 'cause it hurt too long And I don’t even want you anymore 'cause you don’t deserve Ch: But the sound of your voice still makes me smile And the feel of you near still clears my soul And I don’t know if you’ll come or go But I take the little whiles I take the little whiles V2: Never had nothing good 'fore then I never felt so loved or will again But now I count the nights alone Wondrin' if you'll pop in You fed me truth wrapped in a lie You taught me how to love then how to cry You made me a prize that you could show Then thrust a spear in my side Pre-Ch: Ch: Br: Some say all prayers are answered But I'm still not free Ch: Outtro: I take the little whiles

ONE MORE DAY Writer: Ricki E. Bellos V1 The skin has softened Underneath my chin All my muscles loosened In a battle I can’t win A new ache in my shoulder When I turn a certain way I don’t mind getting older When we share the same fate CHORUS One more day, one more day How many more we’ll share no one can say One more day, one more day On a calendar of many I’m happy to stay One more day V2 Your face across the table So beautiful to me Although no longer able To see you perfectly I still like to stare Your hair is just as long As the day we married Now white instead of blonde CHORUS One more day, one more day How many more we’ll share no one can say One more day, one more day On a calendar of many I’m happy to stay BRIDGE What a fearful thing To love what death can touch CHORUS One more day, one more day I want tomorrow more than yesterday One more day, one more day As long as it’s you I can take One more day © Ricki E.

Soundtrack of My Life I find it fascinating how the human mind works There’s a limited capacity inside the brain I wonder what criteria it utilizes To determine which memories it needs to retain Hey I remember hearing a freight train rumbling through the night When that whistle blew, it cast a spell onto the soundtrack of my life I don’t remember what I had for supper last night But I remember the words of songs from long ago If it’s true that we only use one tenth of our minds There’s no telling what we might have the power to know Hey I remember hearing a freight train rumbling through the night When that whistle blew, it cast a spell onto the soundtrack of my life Pop tunes tend to fade out quickly and drop right off the charts But the sweetest songs linger on and on forever in our hearts Hey I remember hearing a freight train rumbling through the night When that whistle blew, it cast a spell onto the soundtrack of my life The soundtrack of my life © 2016 Michael T.

"Here" Written by Katie Knight V1 We're driving down the road Windows rolled down Wind blowin' through my hair And I'm thinking about Pre Ch How life's too fast And I wanna make it last Ch So what if we just sit here And let hours turn into minutes Watch the world spin around As we reminisce All of our memories The ones we hold dear What if time just stopped And we kept sitting here V2 We’re parked with a front row view To watch the sun sink down My head’s on your shoulder And I’m thinking about Pre Ch How life goes by In the blink of an eye Ch So what if we just sit here And let hours turn into minutes Watch the world spin around As we reminisce All of our memories The ones we hold dear What if time just stopped And we kept sitting here Bridge We’re slow dancing under stars Soft music in the background You kissed me and whispered We’re in forever right now Ch So what if we just stay here And let hours turn into minutes Fall more and more in love As if we’re infinite Living in this moment Let the world disappear What if time just stopped And we kept sitting here Ooh what if time just stopped And we just kept sitting here

Breakaway V.1: We’re in a place that I, didn’t expect today we’d be Where over days, and weeks and months, now into years We’ve seen much of the unusual, and many good surprises How a friend framed it all explains so much so well Chorus 1: Time—is a straight line. Life—is a curvy rocky road And you’re not the only one trying to ride it out To breakaway. Break-a-way V.2: Outside I had too much. Inside I was poor as church mice The more I scrambled after more happiness eluded me Time came I’d had enough. Pulled over on life’s rocky road I bumped into you out there, you were doing the same Chorus 2: You—I wanted more of you. You—and be in your life And together you and I would ride, ride it out And breakaway. Break-a-way. Bridge: Oh, you and I. Oh, you and I. Straight lines on a curvy road Trying to ride it out. Oh, what a ride. We are on The rearview mirror doesn't lie. It reminds us where we've been Outro: Since our breakaway. Breakaway--straight lines on a curvy rocky road. :

Take Time writer: Michael Ian Newton chorus Take time to savour tastes in the food that you eat. Take time to hear the music, beyond the simple beat. Take time to look in the eyes of friends that you greet. Take time to appreciate what life lays at your feet. Verse 1 Do you hear the message in the songs crafted words? Do you hear the passion in backing singers’ thirds? Do you hear the players skills honed over many years? Do you hear the soundscape crafted for your ears? chorus Take time to savour tastes in the food that you eat. Take time to hear the music, beyond the simple beat. Take time to look in the eyes of friends that you greet. Take time to appreciate what life lays at your feet. Verse 2 Do you taste the salty, the sour, bitter, sweet? the wafting aromas, feeling replete? Do you feel textures, crumbly or firm? Or do you just see the food as calories to burn? chorus Take time to savour tastes in the food that you eat. Take time to hear the music, beyond the simple beat. Take time to look in the eyes of friends that you greet. Take time to appreciate what life lays at your feet. Verse 3 When you greet your friends or neighbours each day When you say 'how are you' do you listen what they say? Do you look them in the eye when they say, 'I'm fine'? or avoid contact in case it takes time? chorus Take time to savour tastes in the food that you eat. Take time to hear the music, beyond the simple beat. Take time to look in the eyes of friends that you greet. Take time to appreciate what life lays at your feet.

V1 October folds into November  Leaves begin to turn and shades replace Orange, red to brown  I know it's something I should remember  But somehow, I just don’t  V2 My time slips on and brown hair turns grey And my thoughts seem to run as I chase Things that distract me I lose focus and just seem to forget Maybe December it’ll come to me Prechorus There was a moment when time moved slow But that was pretty long ago Maybe I should pause and reflect To remember all the things that I forget Chorus Life is like an hourglass Time sifts too fast When we're upside down Maybe we could start again And take a moment To watch the moments pass Each grain is gone in an instant Unless we watch the colors fade V4 The changing of the guard comes in a flash So enjoy watching the colors change Every dog has its day Its time for me to slow down and enjoy It's December and I'm remembering Chorus Life is like an hourglass Time sifts too fast When we're upside down Maybe we could start again And take a moment To watch the moments pass Each grain is gone in an instant Unless we watch the colors fade Outro Distractions are just that Nothing more, nothing less Enjoy the hourglass And the colors that quickly pass

TIME Time was a moment slowly passing A sunset that never seemed to set Each day held no special feeling If it did I seem to forget I didn’t know what time was for Until you knocked upon my door I let you in let the memories begin Now, I know, you’re what time is for Time was an ageless bunch of summers A notion that Winter wouldn’t come Seasons were scattered and wind tossed And fluttered frolicsome CHORUS BRIDGE Minutes and hours go quickly now And show no slowing signs I hold dearer to my heart The precious moments love finds CHORUS ©Carol Coffey tiptoetunes@everestkc.net

A Little Slower It’s time to grab your backpack and get on the bus Your first day of kindergarten has finally come Where’s that baby your mom and I brought home? Drifting off to slumber we held you close And every now and again Wish I could put it in slow motion CHORUS 1: 3, 2, 1 - a new chapter and then it goes I can’t believe how fast you’ve grown But I’ll enjoy the moment while it’s here It’s like 3, 2, 1 -yeah I can’t stop you getting older If only time would go just a little slower It’s time to pack your suitcase and get on the plane First day of your new job across the sea awaits What happened to that princess, my little girl? You’ve outstretched your wings and you’re seeing the world CHORUS 2: 3, 2, 1 - a new chapter and you’re on your own Now you’re doing what you love the most Hope you’ll enjoy the moment while it’s here Cos it’s like 3, 2, 1 -it’s too bad your childhood days are over If only time would go just a little slower It’s time to take my arm and walk down the aisle Matrimony, white dress you’re a beautiful bride I try to hold it in though it’s hard letting go But you said, “daddy, you’re still my number one hero” CHORUS 3: 3, 2, 1 - a new chapter’s come and your last name’s changed I hope you’ll have children of your own someday And enjoy the moment when it gets here 'Cause 3, 2, 1 - yeah you can’t stop them getting older And you’ll be wishing time would go just a little slower

Can I drive my way back to you? Through the years Through the tears Down to your hometown… I met you at the university in our class on Bible history You used to drink me up Until I drank you away But I have seen the light these days The Lord forgives me But can you forgive me Or am I history? From the Flagstaff peaks that never sleep To the Phoenix desert deep All these years You left a trail of tears And a grand canyon in my heart A grand canyon in my heart Can I drive my way back to you? Rewind the mixed tape I made for you? Do I turn down your old street… Maybe our memories will meet? Or should I throw this mid-life crisis out the window And just let the wind blow? From the Flagstaff peaks that never sleep To the Phoenix desert deep All these years You left a trail of tears And a grand canyon in my heart A grand canyon in my heart Sadly, you were never to be my wife I pray we can be friends in the next life But God only knows my friend If we will meet in the end… But then again, can we begin again? I am outside your door knock-knock Will you open up your closed door? From the Flagstaff peaks that never sleep To the Phoenix desert deep All these years You left a trail of tears From the Flagstaff peaks that never sleep To the Phoenix desert deep All these years You left a trail of tears And a grand canyon in my heart A grand canyon in my heart A grand canyon in my heart A grand canyon in my heart

WIND IN MY SAILS By Sandy Sherman & JoAnne Kurman When I stare at the photographs Of the way that I used to be Is that sweet young girlish figure Just a memory? But I’ve finally come to grips now When a gray hair makes me blue Since I can’t hold back the river of time I might as well sail thru CHORUS: I still got some wind in my sails The open seas of all my dreams are calling me I’ll steer clear where fools will tread Or I’ll steer straight full steam ahead While I still got some wind in my sails I’ve been thru troubled waters And I’ve faced the winds of change Though I’ve added candles to my cake That cake still tastes the same There’s a lot of women out there In the same boat, that I know Hey, there aint no need for droppin’ anchor yet When there’s plenty of miles to go CHORUS: BRIDGE: Somewhere between the Blue Lagoon and On Golden Pond There’s an ocean of happiness my heart is riding on CHORUS: Tag: I’m gonna keep an even keel, with this old heart behind the wheel And the wind in my sails (c) Copyright secured by Sandy Sherman & Jo Anne Kurman Contact: Sandy Sherman inthepinkmusic@cox.net Tel. 310-541-3487

If I Owned Time VERSE: I said I wasn’t ready And a promise wouldn’t work Couldn’t lose my independence That’s always been my curse I don’t have the arrogance To think that you would care again I only want to rule the universe CHORUS: If I owned time I could change history The part that starts with you and me and the day I walked away I’d stop a thousand sunsets Delay a thousand dawns Reverse a thousand turns of earth And you would not be gone If I owned time VERSE: I would take your hand and tell you I’m not going anywhere I’d believe in us together Instead of running scared I don’t have the arrogance To think that you would care again I only want to rule the universe CHORUS

Time to fall (Written by Rebecca Drimmel) Intro chorus: It’s a long way down It’s a long way down Verse 1: I awaken, a little after midnight Rain pouring down After all this time That you’d be gone Is this the call, that would end it all Chorus: It’s a long way down I’m living in tears after all these years It’s a long way down I’m living in fear, cause you’re no longer here It’s a long way down It’s a long way down Verse 2: In my mind I’m fighting these years and fears Maybe a few tears Cause your voice is still here, in my head When I wake up Your shadows appear As I look into the mirror, are you here Bridge: Oh no, no, no Oh no, no, no No, you’re never coming back I got that call Is it time, for me to fall Chorus: It’s a long way down I’m living in tears after all these years It’s a long way down I’m living in fear, cause you’re no longer here

Verse 1: I don't expect time to stop for me But I still wish it would I see the change that's headed my way And it doesn't feel for the good Chorus: If I already have the best thing What could I have to gain If you already know sunlight Why would you settle for the rain Verse 2: I could understand a consequence If I loved selfishly But I live for making memories So this doesn't make sense to me Repeat Chorus Bridge: Let's throw the time off the wall Let's get that under control What if I promise no tomorrow Would you stay living in today 'Cause there's no way I'm settling for the rain Repeat Chorus Outro: No there's no way I'm settling for the rain

What were you thinking when you saw the headlights coming round the road? Did you stand in the shadows by the street lights thinking now’s my time to go? And as the rain came down Did you stand your ground? I looked to the sky I heard the thunder roll by And there was fire in my eyes As I realised This is not my time, not my time, not my time, not my time. What were you thinking when they pulled the blade out meaning only well? Did you know that you would start to bleed out only after you’d been through hell? And as the rain came down How did you stand up off the ground? I looked to the sky I heard the thunder roll by And there was fire in my eyes As I realised This is not my time, not my time, not my time, not my time. I looked to the sky I heard the thunder roll by And there was fire in my eyes As I realised This is not my time, not my time, not my time, not my time. (I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive) I looked to the sky I heard the thunder roll by And though this storm took all my light I realise This is not my time, not my time, not my time, not my time.

Time Will Not Wait by Blue Moon Monsoon Writer: Dan Drew Verse 1: You never missed a chance to take aim The way you feel takes centre stage The second it takes for your eyes to fixate You’re not really there Lost to the wolves of despair. Chorus: Time will not wait for me What was will never be Verse 2: You talk to yourself, cut yourself down, so easy But nothing can make you see a better day The second you take a moment to wait you breathe easy You know the things that keep you down but you do them anyway. Chorus: Then you said ‘Time will not wait for me What was will never be’ Bridge 1: Cant you see, you’re your own worst enemy? Can’t you see, It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy? Don’t you feel the sun? Don’t you feel my love? Don’t you feel the moon and the stars and the sun? Don’t you feel my love? SOLO Chorus: And then you said ‘Time will not wait for me’ And ‘what was will never be’. Bridge 2: I know you said a hundred times before That you couldn’t go on anymore I knew in the end we’d find a way But then you took your life away. Chorus: And then you said ‘Time will not wait for me’ And ‘what was will never be’.

Eternal Love Time flies, rushing on its’ way Sunset, sunrise, wave goodbye Tomorrow, is there another day? One life is not enough, for the heart that gives you love Can’t stop time moving on, but we do what we can Love is meant to last, seems so wrong time goes so One life is not enough We wake up to another day, it could be our last We hope for the best, we work rest and play We can’t win, time takes our future As we’re just beginning One life is not enough, for the heart that gives you love Can’t stop time moving on, but we do what we can Love is meant to last, seems so wrong time goes so fast One life is not enough Time flies, rushing on its’ way Sunset, sunrise, wave goodbye Tomorrow, is there another day? One life is not enough, for the heart that gives you love Can’t stop time moving on, but we do what we can Love is meant to last, seems so wrong time goes so One life is not enough One life is not enough ©2024 Brian George Hanson

Papageorge V1: I got to be on time for the daily grind But it'll never end soon enough I got to stay alive through the nine-to-five But today it's gonna be real tough Cause I stayed out late, I didn't hesitate I just like to have a good ole time But I'm payin' the price for that extra spice Even though it's not really a crime, but tell me CHORUS: WHY CAN’T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON?

CHORUS: WHY CAN’T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON? Why does every week begin so soon? Well, I'm only half awake and not in tune So, WHY CAN’T MONDAY MORNING BEGIN AT NOON?

I wander for hours, in my mind’s eye - I’ve bathed in flowers, but still I am blind I’ve said Hari Krishna, about a million times - But I’m bogged down and asking why I tried religion but still I despair - I tried atheism but found nothing there I’ve tried taking tablets, I’ve taken the lot - But no change, no luck Chorus I’m free, but I can’t find the lock - I’m free but still I seem stuck I’m free, but I can’t do a lot – cos I’ve been ignoring the things that are winding me up/ pissing me off Guided, unguided I’ve tried them all - Hot yoga rhythm, climbing the walls I can’t see the point of it being so warm - And it all ends with me in a sprawl Middle 8 It’s crazy to think, it was only last year -It all fall apart and my hope disappeared Sometimes I think that I should take my revenge - Perhaps I will feel better then Verse I think maybe Patience has got the better of me -I need some action to bring me relief I need some answers and I need them today - So please don’t get in my way

Making Friends with Time V1: We didn't get along well when I was in my teens; I questioned you and struggled to be taken seriously; The doors you closed added to my insecurity; But time's become a bridge for you and me CH: Cause I was in a hurry but now I know you’re not We can take life slower, give it all a lot more thought Things are getting easier going down the line I find myself Making Friends with Time. V2: When I almost lost you, it left it’s mark on me; Challenged me to face the truth I didn't wanna see; All those doubts I had about us gone in a blink Forever changed my heart and how I think CH: Cause I was in a hurry but now I know you’re not We can take life slower, give it all a lot more thought Things are getting easier going down the line I find myself Making Friends with Time. BR: Time is what I need now Time to not forget Time is still my teacher And we are not through yet! CH: Cause I was in a hurry but now I know you’re not We can take life slower, give it all a lot more thought Things are getting easier going down the line I find myself Making Friends with Time. I find myself Making Friends with Time. Alt Bridge: Time, you I need you Time, I won't forget Time, you are my teacher Please don't leave me yet!

WHEN MORNING COMES V1 I tried to step outside my box Sit and listen to your thoughts Slip my feet inside your shoes To walk in the world you knew V2 Is that your voice saying hello Through the quiet of the snow I breath in deep to clear my mind It’ll just take me a little more time CHORUS When morning comes the clock starts ticking Minutes and hours begin disappearing When morning comes make time for those you love What doesn’t get done can wait ‘till the next morning comes V3 Summer flowers have arrived His swing flys into the sky When he laughs or when he cries I see all of you in his eyes V4 So much good you left behind To ease the hurt you send me signs Your way of telling me I know It’s time to wake up and start over CHORUS So When morning comes and the clock starts ticking Minutes and hours begin disappearing When morning comes I’ll make time for those I love What doesn’t get done can wait ‘till the next morning comes

V1 I always lived my life, as if I walked on ice, thin as a leaf But time is people’s greatest thief Of precious seconds It stole my empty yesterday And while I thought I’m on my way It slowly chipped my days away And left no records... CHORUS: A Man and Time Caught between his soul and mind A Man and Time Find the way how these two rhyme V2 I glanced back on rotten rust On something written in the dust Was it faces from my past? Or an illusion? I looked again and thought I heard A long forgotten kind word It was just a mockingbird That caused confusion... CHORUS: A Man and Time Caught between his soul and mind A Man and Time A search for reasons left behind BRIDGE: To forget I looked ahead And I felt the snow land On my hair On my hair I shut my eyelids. They were dry I’d forgotten how to cry Or didn’t care Didn’t care V3 For many days I walked the land Time following behind and Ill regrets without end Kept me company. But this is what was very strange If someone offered me a change My lips bleeding from the clench I wouldn’t want any. CHORUS: A Man and Time Caught between his soul and mind A Man and Time You are deaf and you are blind A Man and Time

Verse 1 & 2: My millionaire friend named Dave had a wife who left him. He chased money more than love. She ran off with a salesman. As boys I saw Dave all the time. As men I saw him once a year. He had two boats and ten cars but had no time to grab a beer. Pre-chorus: The list of things Dave bought is long. His things are but now he's gone. Chorus: I wish that we had bar-b-q's together, Saw the boys and played a round of poker, Drank more Jack and laughed a little longer, You can't buy back time. Wish we went out fishing on a Sunday, Drove out to the races at the speedway. Wish we could reverse cuz believe me You can't buy back time. Verse 3: Dave's from a family of eight. He always wished that he had more. Growing up, kids made him feel left out. He vowed he'd even up the score. Pre-chorus, chorus Bridge: Dave and I grew up poor but we still had fun. Diving in the lake from the bridge didn't cost us nothing. Verse 4: Our town knew Dave for what he owned but I remember him for more. Simple things that we did made life worth living for. Pre-chorus, chorus
