GIVE YOU SOME

Lyric and Melody by

Tina Tufts-May




I know I ain't been the kind of man
You've always known I could be
Seein' all the goodness way deep down
I never ever saw in me

I've taken roads that I regret
And I've hurt so many on my way
I lost count I guess
Sure did my best
To sabotage you and me

But you just smiled
kissed me on my cheek and said

(Chorus)

If you're thirsty and want water
I will bring you some
If you're cold and lonely boy
I'll give you my love
But if forgiveness is what you're lookin' for first-
You gotta give you some


I asked her girl what you mean by that
She said take a look in the mirror
You can't love no one till' you love yourself
How can I make that any clearer

Then she hugged me and grabbed my hand
Brought me to a little church and said
You can hide from the world
But not from me
Not from God and not from yourself

(Repeat Chorus)

If you're thirsty and want water
I will bring you some
If you're cold lonely boy
I'll give you my love
But if forgiveness is what you're lookin' for first
You gotta give you some


(Bridge)

For the first time I got on my knees - and started stumblin
through a prayer
Said, I'm so tired of hatin' who I am - Hey God....are you really there...that's when I heard...


(Chorus)

When you're thirsty and want water
I will bring you some
When you're cold and lonely boy
You have my love
And my forgiveness has always been yours my son
So give you some
That's when I gave me some...

MOONLIGHT BECOMES YOU
Tina Tufts-May/Germain Brunet




AT THE END OF A LONG HARD DAY
I LOVE THE WAY YOUR SMILE LIGHTS UP MY WORLD
ON OUR BACKYARD DECK WITH A GLASS OF WINE
THAT’S THE SWEETEST TIME WHEN IT’S JUST YOU AND ME GIRL

AND AS THE SUN GOES DOWN AND THE STARS COME OUT
YOU’RE SPARKLING EYES SHINE SO BLUE

CHORUS

MOONLIGHT BECOMES YOU, SURROUNDS YOU
DANCING, RISING WITH THE TIDES
YOU MOVE ME LIKE A SOFT BREEZE
THERE’S A MYSTICAL AND MAGIC LIGHT
THAT GLOWS AROUND YOU
BABY IT’S TRUE
MOONLIGHT BECOMES YOU

IN THE STILL OF A NIGHT LIKE THIS AND YOUR SWEET KISS
WHAT COULD BE MORE RIGHT
IT’S LIKE THE WORLD JUST DISAPPEARED, JUST TWO SHADOWS HERE
AS WE HOLD EACH OTHER TIGHT

AND AS I LAY YOU DOWN, LIGHT POURS ALL AROUND
SURROUNDING US IN A LOVE SO TRUE

CHORUS

BRIDGE
YOU FILL MY WORLD WITH A PASSION I’VE NEVER KNOWN BEFORE
HOW COULD I ASK FOR MORE

(CHORUS)

MOONLIGHT BECOMES YOU
MOONLIGHT BECOMES YOU

WHERE THE TRUTH IS
Tina Tufts-May

Lyric, melody and lead vocal Tina Tufts-May



Love is dyin’ every day
Relationships just go astray
Bitter words too many fights
Then turning away into the arms of another

So here we are - yes – me and you
Walking in those kinds of shoes
Don’t follow where they lead
Don’t believe the lies
Believe what’s in my eyes

(Chorus)

That’s where the truth is
That’s where the truth is
That’s where love and life and hope and faith-
And strength….and trust lives
I’m here – I’m real – I’m yours
Not just now but for ever – ever more
I’m reachin’ out – believe our love
Believe that this…..
Is where the truth is

I had known it for some time
You drifted away – I was not blind

Sometimes I feel – there’s only good-bye
But instead I stay – to win this fight
Remember how we touched
The promise of one kiss
Let’s get back to this

(Chorus)

To where the truth is
To where the truth is
To where love and life and hope and faith
And tenderness… and passion lives
I’m here – I’m real – I’m yours
Not just now but forever – ever more
I’m reachin’ out – believe our love
Believe that this…
Is where the truth is…

(Bridge)

We made vows before God’s eyes
Heaven smiled down on a man and his wife
We had so many dreams – got lost along the way
It’s never too late – to come back home….

To where the truth is
To where love and life and hope and faith
And most of all….where my forgiveness lives
I’m here – I’m real – I’m yours
Not just now but forever – ever more
I’m reachin’ out – baby just believe that this
That love…our love
Is where the truth is

Love…is where the truth is

2500 Sundays
Tina Tufts-May

Lyric and Melody written by: Tina Tufts May


It's not your average Sunday
She's not your average girl
She's everything I ever prayed for
She's the center of my world

I got the ring - I got the place
The mood is set - so now I wait
Till she comes walkin' through that door
Man my heart is racin' ('cause)

(Chorus)

Everything depends - on what she says tonight
And my whole world revolves -
Around the answer - to a - question - 'cause I -
I wanna spend with her - forever and one day
For the next - the next- twenty-five hundred Sundays
Oh yeah


She sees that I am nervous
She says I'm actin' strange
'Cause I'm stumblin' fumblin' over
All the words I want to say

Like girl make me a happy man
Slide the diamond on her hand
Then watch the tears fall down her face
Sit anticipatin' (cause)

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)

Well all those days - add to close to fifty years
When we reach the end I'm gonna say
Let's add twelve hundred more - my dear (but)

(Repeat Chorus)

Everything depends - on what she says tonight
And my whole world revolves -
Around the answer - to a - question - 'cause I -
I wanna spend with her - forever and one day
For the next - the next- twenty-five hundred Sundays
For the next - oh yeah - twenty five hundred Sundays
Whoa yeah

It's not your average Sunday

Lead Vocal: Tina Tufts-May


Johnny had an office in the sky
On the fourty-second floor he was riding high
On a six figure dream - and a yacht called "The Glory Queen"

Well Bobby he stayed in his home town
Built his home from the roof to the ground
And swore he'd never leave - it was where he'd build his dreams

And I was the girl they both wanted to have
One could buy me the world - one just held out his hand and said, " I'll -
I'll show you what it means to - make your memories"

(Chorus)

'Cause you can't buy a ray of sunshine
On a warm summer day
There's no price for walking hand in hand
Or feel the wind blow on your face
But sometimes you get blinded by
All the glitter and the glam
So how do you decide what kind of man provides
The kind of love that lasts
Yeah yeah!


Johnny swore I'd have the happiest wife
I'd never want for anything - there's nothing money can't buy
"Well my oh my" - I said, "Ain't that a tempting life?"

But a brave - gentle - tender lovin' man
The proof of what he stands for - all calloused in his hands
Told me you can't buy someone's love - NO! It's not what forever's made of

( Repeat Chorus)

Whoa! The kind of man that provides that kind of love-
Is the kind of man I'm gonna have...

(Repeat Chorus)

The kind of man that provides that kind of love -
is the kind of man I'm gonna have

The kind of love that lasts- yeah - that's the kind of love
The kind of love that lasts - whoa yeah! - whoa yeah!

I wrote this song based on my life and the lives of many other women out there who've lived/and made it through the same kinds of experiences. This is MY anthem....and others out there like me.
Lyrics
HEAVEN HELP HANNAH
Tina Tufts-May/Germain Brunet

She has a bruise for every single time
That she did something wrong - in his eyes
She has a pillow stained with all the tears
From all those sleepless nights - when she cried

Today she finally got her courage up
Quit her job and packed all her stuff

CHORUS

Heaven help Hannah - she needs an angel tonight
She's bound for Atlanta - She needs someone on her side
Heaven help Hannah - not to turn around this time
A brave new star - is shining so bright
Heaven help Hannah tonight

She's waiting tables working every night
And going back to school - gettin' back her pride
She's made a friend or two and found that she
Could smile and laugh again - feels good inside
She struggles hard to keep him off her mind
Some days are still - an uphill climb

CHORUS

Heaven help Hannah - she needs an angel tonight
Down in Atlanta - She needs someone on her side
Heaven Help Hannah - To make it on her own
A brave new star - is shining so bright
Heaven help Hannah tonight


BRIDGE

Looking back she wonders
Why leaving him took so long
It's the best things she's done
Now she's light as a bird free to sing - her song

CHORUS

Heaven help Hannah - using brand new wings to fly
Down in Atlanta - She's gonna spread them wide
Heaven help Hannah - her life is now her own
A brave new star is shining so bright
Heaven sure helped Hannah - Alright

KISS YOUR SOUL GOOD-BYE

na na na na na na na - na na naaa

I swear my buddy John’s become an Athiest
‘Cause he lives like no one’s watching him at all

All the drinkin’ all the cheatin’ – every week a different woman
With a wife and kid at home to take the fall…..

(Chorus)

Now I’m not sayin’ that I’m better
I’m as human as my neighbor
So I’m bound to make a few mistakes
But knowin’ right from wrong ain’t college grade
I know what God expects from me
And it’s not to waste my life
If I don’t live it right- I can kiss my soul good-bye
( na na na na - na na - na na -
na na na na na na na - na na naaa)

Now me and him ain’t close like we used to be
He’s a million miles from the man that I recall
So in a fight we threw it down – I stood my ground
I said, this road you’re on is headed for a wall…

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)

The Devil waits at every turn to lead a man away from Heaven
I hate to break it to ya friend – You’re headed in the wrong direction…

(Chorus)

Now I'm not sayin' that I'm better
I’m as human as my neighbor
So I’m bound to make a few mistakes
But knowin’ right from wrong ain’t college grade
I know what God expects from me ....yeah!
If you waste your life – stop livin’ right- you can kiss your soul good-bye
( na na na na - na na - na na - na na na na na na na - na na na
Kiss your soul good-bye

JUST LISTEN

Lyric and Melody -Tina-Tufts May

There's a message from your mind- floatin' in the air tonight
So cold it cuts me to my soul...
We can't go on like this - Your touch is something that I miss
You're here but still I feel alone

Now I'm a desperate man - doin' everything I can
To save a promise that- is slipping through our fingers

(CHORUS)

The flame we had is nearly out
Communications broken down
I don't believe - it's too late for us
When what we do is not enough
And every moment comes undone
Let me tell you what's been missin'
Baby please just listen...

Fingertips run down your spine - to proclaim that you're all mine
That's me sayin' that I love you
Close your eyes and hear my hands - They're tryin' to make you understand-
Let them find a way to get through

We need to finally see - what our busy lives have done
We give it all to everyone - but not each other...

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)

Tell me you still believe- I'm the kind of man you need
You're the woman I adore - it's time to show each other more....

(CHORUS X2)

Oh just Listen ...Baby please just listen...

DON'T LEAVE OUR BED

Lyrics
DON’T LEAVE OUR BED
Tina Tufts-May



The fights’ gone on – for what feels like a week or more
No one’s bendin’ – no one’s cavin’ – no one’s talkin’ anymore
And we tip toe ‘round each other- like a mine field in a war
Where hurt becomes the armor - with every slammin’ door

And then the night falls on our home like some unwelcome guest
You look at me – I look at you - you clutch a pillow to your chest

(Chorus)

Don’t leave our bed
Don’t drive that wedge
Leave the day to fight our devils
And use the night to sleep with angels
Don’t leave me here alone
To let our love grow cold….don’t leave our bed

Layin' back to back- Can you hear my ragged breath?
While I'm cryin' -are you lyin there - With a heart filled with regret
All the stubborn pride I'm holdin’ – I can feel it melt away
And I want so bad to touch you – but I don’t know what to say..

My fingers brush across your shoulder – I pray the storm is blowing over
You look at me – I look at you – you say I’m sorry – as I say it too…

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

I know it's hard to find forgiveness when the sun goes down -
But baby try - don't let the place - the place we make our love- become our battle ground....

don’t leave our bed….
Don’t’ drive that wedge
Use the day to fight our devils
Leave the night to sleep with angels…..

(Chorus)

LIVE ENOUGH

Plays: 0
Backstory
Years ago I worked in a nursing home on the night shift. One of my patients was a new man that had just been admitted with cancer named Joe... I remember he was so sweet and so kind. He had the cutest laugh and it was so infectious and he loved to talk...especially about God.
I asked him one night if he was scared of dying, and his answer just brought me to tears because it was such a beautiful answer and yet so sad.
We became friends and I told him that someday I was going to write a song about him and I did... But in my mind as I was writing the song I always pictured a video where it was a male nurse who would stop by Joe's room on the night shift and talk with him...
That was over 20 years ago and I have never forgotten Joe.
Lyrics
LIVE ENOUGH
Tina Tufts-May



(VERSE 1)

JOE ARRIVED AT THE NURSING HOME WITH ONLY - SIX MONTHS TO GO
HE’D BATTLED ALL HIS DEMONS - BUT HIS BODY JUST SAID NO
HE WAS TIRED AND I TOOK CARE OF HIM - WE TALKED FOR HOURS ON THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT
I ASKED HIM ONCE IN THAT TIME WE SHARED, “HEY JOE....ARE YOU SCARED? “

WELL HE GRABBED MY HAND AS HE – STARED ACROSS THE ROOM
I COULD SEE THE TEARS FORMIN’ AS HE SAID, “THIS CAME TO SOON…
BUT I GUESS THE BED YOU MAKE IN LIFE IS WHERE IT ALL COMES TO AN END
AND ALL YOU HAVE ARE FRAGILE MOMENTS - UNTIL THE GOOD LORD TAKES WHAT’S LEFT…(BUT)


(CHORUS)

“I’M NOT AFRAID TO TAKE MY LAST BREATH
I DON’T HAVE ONE DOUBT GOD’S WAITING THERE BUT WHEN-
HE ASKS ME, “ DO YOU HAVE REGRETS?”
WELL I’M AFRAID I’LL HAVE JUST ONE.....(pause)
THAT I DIDN’T LIVE ENOUGH..”

(VERSE 2)

I ASKED, “HEY MAN, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? YOU’RE TWICE MY AGE HITTIN’ EIGHTY THREE”
HE SAID, “ALL THAT TIME DON’T MATTER NONE, IF YOU WASTE IT NEVER KNOWIN’ LOVE...

I WAS A MAN AFRAID TO TAKE A RISK - NEVER GAVE MY HEART- NEVER HAD NO KIDS
NOW I’D -TRADE MY SOUL - ‘CAUSE I KNOW – WHAT I LOST LETTIN’ ALL THOSE CHANCES GO....(BUT)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)

SO NOW I’M TELLIN’ YOU – MAKE SURE THAT YOU
HAVE THE COURAGE TO NEVER KNOW
WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE LIKE ME
A MAN WHO LEAVES THIS WORLD ALONE

‘CAUSE WHEN HE ASKS ME , DO YA HAVE REGRETS
I’M AFRAID I’LL HAVE JUST ONE…
(SPOKEN) SON REMEMBER ME….
REMEMBER ME….AND LIVE ENOUGH…

CHOCOLATE
Tina May/Germain Brunet


I bet you think that time has made me desperate
Well a broken heart don’t make me masochistic
So don’t cozy up to me – I’m not the fool I used to be
If you think I’m gonna fall again - I’d rather fall in chocolate

(Chorus)

‘Cause It’s So Sweet
And It Makes Me Feel Good
Every Bite Don’t Disappoint Me
Like You Always Would
What’s Underneath The Wrapper
Ain’t Some – Tasteless Imposter
When It Comes To Loving You
Or Gain A Pound Or Two
I’ll Take The Chocolate……….

So you like the way I’m fillin’ out my blue jeans
Well that’s due my consumption after you and Sara Lee
Were caught sneakin’ round all over town – Did ya think I’d not find out?
You drove me straight to what I knew would never – let me down…

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

So you can - step aside…and watch me leave
Tonight I got a date with Mr. Hershey…

(Chorus)

Cause he’s so sweet
And he makes me feel good
And he don’t disappoint me
Like you always would
What’s underneath his wrapper
Ain’t some – Tasteless Imposter
When it comes to lovin’ you
Or gain a pound or two
I’ll take the chocolate

(Tag)

When it comes to lovin’ you or gain a pound or two
Heh---I’ll take the chocolate…

NOTHING FEELS LIKE HOME
Tina Tufts May/Germain Brunet

I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S BEEN A YEAR
MY KNEES ARE SHAKING STANDING HERE
I MIGHT HAVE TO TURN AROUND
BEFORE MY TEARS START COMING DOWN

THIS PLACE DON’T FEEL THE SAME AND I CAN’T CONCEAL THE PAIN
THAT COMES WITH EVERY MEMORY
NOW THAT YOU’RE GONE AWAY, DON’T KNOW IF I COULD EVER STAY
I SWEAR IT EVEN HURTS TO BREATHE

CHORUS

IT ISN’T HOME ANYMORE IF IT AIN’T IN YOUR ARMS
WHERE DO I FIND MY PEACE IF THESE WALLS DON’T HOLD YOUR HEART
THIS HOUSE IS SO COLD, AS BARE AS MY SOUL
AND WITHOUT YOU, NOTHING FEELS LIKE HOME


IT KILLS ME JUST TO LOOK AROUND
EVERY ROOM IS LIKE HALLOWED GROUND
I WANNA FALL TO MY KNEES AND PRAY
FOR YOU TO COME BACK SOMEDAY
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE, NEARLY LOST MY SANITY
I GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE

CHORUS

BRIDGE

I PUT THE SIGN IN THE GROUND, IT’S SOMEONE ELSE’S NOW
I’M LEAVIN TODAY
JUST LIKE THE NIGHT YOU LEFT WHEN YOU TOOK YOUR LAST BREATH

IT ISN'T HOME ANYMORE....NO....OH NO

ROOMMATES WITH RINGS ( Female Version)
Tina Tufts-May/Martin Lide




You havn’t touched me in forever -I quit sayin’ I Love You
And for the life of me I can’t recall - The last time you said it too
Lately life has been so empty – We just play the same sad song
Now politeness so heart breaking – makes us pretend there’s nothing wrong (we’re)

(CHORUS)

Roommates with rings –no longer lovers
Married to each other – bound together
But still so alone....
Days come and go – while we tip-toe
Around good-mornings and good-nights
We once lived a dream- but now it just seems
We’re roommates with rings….


We used to talk about the future – now we just don’t talk at all
And we don’t even try to hide no more – that passions’ dead and gone
Sometimes I look down at my finger - and see a plain old golden band
To me it’s just a cruel reminder – That sometimes love don’t last (we’re)

(CHORUS)


( REPEAT CHORUS…..)

We have furniture and things - some boxed up old dreams
We’re just room mates with rings ….. (whoa)


IM STILL HERE

Backstory

My childhood best friend ( who is blessed to of received many wonderful messages from God ) called me one day and told me that God wanted her to tell me that He wanted me to write three songs for him. One of the songs He wanted me to write was to be from Him to all of His children ....to let us know that He is still here no matter WHAT happens in our lives....that He IS our Almighty Lord.

So this song is from our God....to all of us.
Lyrics
I’M STILL HERE
Tina Tufts May

My children…. I hear your cries
Feel me gently - wipe the tears from your eyes
Your pain is Mine - I hold it in My hands
To carry you - if your strength won’t last

But most days you forget I’m there
In the darkness that may fill you with despair
When you need Me the most – In those moments in your life
Don’t turn away – turn into My light

(Chorus)

‘Cause in the chaos and the fear
I’m still here
My love for you remains
Unbroken and unchanged
Just believe – say My name
I’m still here…..I’m still here…



My children….why so much hate
Don’t you know that in My eyes you’re all the same
I made you from Me – Every color in the sky
Your only home is Heaven - so there’s no need to fight

And to those who would take away My name
Remember who I am when I do the same
Your will is strong – But it’s Me who has the power
To have you by My side- after your final hour

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

I know you feel so lost - Every battle has it’s cost
But hold me in your hearts and keep on fighting for your Lord
In Me’s Eternal Life – For you that shines so bright!

(Chorus)

‘Cause in the chaos and the fear
Know that I’m still here
My love for you remains
Unbroken and unchanged
Believe! Don’t lose your faith…
‘Cause I’m here…..I’m still here…

ONE TOUCH – SENDS A MESSAGE DOWN MY SPINE

ONE BREATH – AS IT COMES FROM DEEP WITHIN
LEAVES A TRAIL OF WHAT I’M FEELING
AS IT SKIMS ACROSS MY SKIN (AND)

I SHIVER
AS MY BODY SHOWS THE NEED
I CLOSE MY EYES
TO FEEL YOUR HEART - YOUR SOUL - EVERYTHING
IT'S AN INVOLUNTARY - REACTION TO DESIRE
IT'S WHAT I CAN'T DENY
'CAUSE WHEN YOU TOUCH ME LIKE YOU DO
I SHIVER

SOMETIMES - PASSION LINGERS IN THE AIR
IT'S AMAZING HOW I FEEL YOU
EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE NOT THERE
NO WORDS – ARE EVER NEEDED AFTER ALL
TO COMMUNICATE YOUR LOVING WAYS
WHEN I SIGH AND DON'T TALK….

(CHORUS X2)....WHOA

I wrote this song because you just don't hear too many songs about a woman conveying this to her man; where the woman is the safe haven for him in this crazy world. It's one of my favorites that I've written.
I wrote it, I produced it and I sang it because I had to make sure that the emotion in this song was believable.

(mmmmm…whoa baby)

I'll be your paradise - I'll be your forever
Feel my faithful touch - I'm more than your lover
'Cause when the world outside - does it's best to bring you down
I am your warm embrace - where you can surrender

Sometimes life can be - so overwhelming
And all you really want - is a place to escape it
So I'll turn down the lights - and turn all your senses on
Take you far away - I know you need it...

(Chorus)

I’m your woman
Simply your woman
I’ll lift you up- take you all the way to Heaven
This complicated world – can dissolve around our bed
‘Cause for this moment…I'm simply your woman

(Whoa…whoa …yeah…)


Lay back , close your eyes – Baby I’m your silence
Your day will fade away – with no words between us
And when my fingertips – make that promise to your skin
The all night love begins….mmm…the love begins…

(Chorus X2)

I’m your woman
Simply your woman
I’ll lift you up- take you all the way to Heaven
This complicated world – can dissolve around our bed
‘Cause for this moment
Whoa! Yeah! Yeah!

I’m your woman
Simply your woman
I’ll lift you up- take you all the way to Heaven
This complicated world – can dissolve around our bed
‘Cause for this moment
(mmmmmmmm)
For this moment
I’m simply your woman….

FIVE INCHES HIGH AND CARVED OUT OF PINE
THE BOX BELONGED TO A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE
THE ONLY MAN IN MY LIFE SINCE THE DAY MY DADDY DIED
MR. JOHNSON WAS A HERO IN THIS LITTLE BOY’S EYES

HE TOOK ME FISHING AFTER SCHOOL ON THAT LAKE
AND THERE BY HIS SIDE WAS THE BOX HE WOULD TAKE
NEVER OPENED IT UP, ALWAYS KEPT IT LOCKED
ONE DAY I FINALLY ASKED “WHAT’S INSIDE THE BOX”

CHORUS

HE SAID LESSONS LEARNED DOWN TRAVELED ROADS
SON TAKE YEARS OF FINDING WHERE THEY GO
I’VE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND MY POT OF GOLD
THAT THIS BOX HOLDS
IT’S WHAT I VALUE MOST

THE DAY HE DIED HE LEFT THAT BOX JUST FOR ME
* AND THERE BY IT'S SIDE - A SMALL SILVER KEY
* I COULD ALMOST HEAR HIM SAY WHAT HE TOLD ME THAT DAY
* WHEN I LIFTED THE LID AND LOOKED INSIDE THE BOX

THE UNBELIEVABLE
Tina Tufts-May

(Verse 1)

Two kids, two jobs and a little dog
That was Jamie’s life as a single mom
Her days were hard and it always seemed
Hope and Faith weren’t guaranteed

She wondered if she’d ever find
The kind of love those tales all cry
Instead of only in her dreams
She wondered,
Should I believe in anything?

(Chorus)

Believe in Destiny
Believe in dreams
Believe in proof your eyes can’t see
And all the unexplainable little things
Believe that God has a plan for us
Believe in Him and learn to trust
In the impossible
The incredible
Believe in what you think
Is the unbelievable


(Verse 2)

Joel worked hard for his high class job
Met his goal, climbing straight to the top
Six figures, a yacht and a red sports car
He spent his nights alone staring at the stars

He’d think of things he missed in life
Like kids and a home with a loving wife
Well, maybe it’s just too late for me
He thought,

Should I believe in that kind of dream?

( Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)

The Angels up in Heaven played cupid on one fine day….
When they – saw two hearts belonged together so they reached on down with the - hands of fate…..yeah yeah… with the hands of fate…

SHE NEVER BELIEVED

HE TOLD HER SHE WAS WORTHLESS
WOULD NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING
WHISKEY WORDS POURED IN HER TINY EARS
HE KNEW HOW TO MAKE THEM STING
HE MADE HER FEEL INSIGNIFICANT
NEVER GOOD ENOUGH IN HIS EYES
BUT THE DEVIL THAT LIVED IN THEIR HOME
COULDN’T KILL HER SPIRIT INSIDE

CHORUS

CAUSE SHE NEVER BELIEVED, SHE NEVER BELIEVED
HER LIFE WAS MEANT TO BE A DEAD END STREET
THERE WAS A LIGHT, DEEP IN HER SOUL
THAT SHOWED HER THE WAY DAY BY DAY
BEING TOLD IT WAS SILLY TO DREAM
SHE NEVER BELIEVED

SHE GREW UP DETERMINED THAT HE WOULD SEE
SHE’D MAKE SOMETHING OF HER LIFE
SHE PRACTICED HARD EVERY SINGLE DAY
AND LEARNED TO DANCE LIKE A BUTTERFLY
A GRACEFUL BALLARINA GIRL
TOOK THE STAGE WITH SO MUCH PRIDE
SHE DANCED SO ALL THE WORLD COULD SEE
JUST WHO SHE WAS INSIDE

THEY BUILT LOVE
Tina (Tufts) May © 2008

Vocals: Tina Tufts


(VERSE1)

SO BEAUTIFUL AND STEADY – AS SHE WALKED DOWN THE AISLE
SHE COULD LIGHT THE WHOLE CHURCH WITH HER SMILE
‘CAUSE WAITING AT THE END- WAS HER MAN SO TALL AND PROUD
THEY CAME FACE TO FACE BEFORE GOD’S EYES
GIVING BOTH THEIR HEARTS FOR THEIR WHOLE LIVES…..AND THEY KNEW THEN (THAT)


THEY’D BUILD SOMETHING THAT WOULD STAND THE TEST OF TIME
BRICK BY BRICK AND YEAR BY YEAR
A GREAT FOUNDATION TO REACH THE HEAVEN’S UP ABOVE
THEY’D BUILD IT STRONG….THEY’D BUILD LOVE…

(VERSE 2)

NO IT WASN’T EASY STARTIN’ OUT SO YOUNG IN LIFE
WHEN THE BABIES CAME THE BILLS PILED HIGH
BUT THEY HAD EACH OTHER TO COMFORT EVERY NIGHT
‘CAUSE THEY WERE DETERMINED..THROUGH ALL OF THE STRUGGLIN'
TO FIGHT FOR WHAT THEY MARRIED FOR….. THE PROMISE OF FOREVER MORE…

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)

NOW THEY DANCE - TO A SONG THAT NEVER ENDS
IN A HOME THEY FILLED WITH FAITH
AND WHAT THEY'LL LEAVE BEHIND- IS A FLAME THAT NEVER DIES
IT’S IN THEIR CHILDRENS’ EYES! (CAUSE)

( CHORUS)

THEY BUILT SOMETHING THAT STOOD THE TEST OF TIME
BRICK BY BRICK THROUGH ALL THESE YEARS
A GREAT FOUNDATION THAT REACHED HEAVENS UP ABOVE
THEY BUILT IT STRONG….THEY BUILT LOVE!

THEY BUILT LOVE…….THEY BUILT….LOVE

OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES
Tina Tufts-May


See that guy sittin' over there - On that park bench
With tattoos from his wrist to his chest
I was thinkin' "man this guy's a mess…
I bet he's sittin' there all strung out on cocaine
Bet he's done some time – Bet he's got no place to stay" -

(CHORUS)

QUICK TO JUDGE -TOO BLIND TO SEE
THAT THE PAGES OF ONE LIFE AIN’T ALWAYS-
WHAT THE TITLE READS
SO TAKE THE TIME - TO WALK A MILE
AND OPEN YOUR EYES – OPEN UP
TO OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES….

She's buyin' food with a little card the county gave
The cashier's thinkin' "here's another case..
Of my taxes all just gone to waste”
What he doesn't know is how she ended up that way
How she was left with three kids on her own
And all the bills she couldn't pay

(CHORUS)

QUICK TO JUDGE -TOO BLIND TO SEE
THE PAGES OF ONE LIFE AIN’T ALWAYS-
WHAT THE TITLE READS
SO TAKE THE TIME - TO WALK A MILE
AND OPEN YOUR EYES – OPEN UP...OPEN UP!

(BRIDGE)

IF WE CAN STAND TO POINT THE FINGER
WE CAN STAND TO LEARN A LESSON
AND SEE THE WORLD WE SHARE UNDERNEATH THIS SKY
AIN’T ABOUT ONE FIRST IMPRESSION…..

(VERSE 3)

He gets that look from strangers - Who pass him by
He can see that time's not color blind
‘Cause the fear is there behind their eyes
What they don't see in him is the doctor he became
And how he fought against the prejudice
In a world so filled with hate-

(CHORUS)

QUICK TO JUDGE TOO BLIND TO SEE
THAT THE PAGES OF ONE LIFE AIN’T ALWAYS-
WHAT THE TITLE READS
SO TAKE THE TIME - TO WALK A MILE
AND OPEN YOUR EYES –
TO OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES….

ME WITHOUT YOU

Lead Vocal : Tina Tufts May



I CAN CHANGE MY HAIR
CHANGE THE COLOR WHEN I GET THE URGE -TO BE SOMEONE NEW

AND I CAN BUY SOME CLOTHES
BUY A BRAND NEW PAIR OF SHOES - AND A NEW ATTITUDE

AND IF I DON’T LIKE HOW I’M FEELIN’
I CAN CHANGE MY ATMOSPHERE
TO THE WAY I WANNA BE LIVIN’

IT’S TIME FOR NEW BEGINNINGS
AND A LOVE THAT I DESERVE
BEFORE I STOP BELIEVIN’

(CHORUS)

I CAN’T LIVE THIS WAY
NOT ONE MORE DAY
I FEEL LIKE I’VE BEEN DYING
AND MY HEART WON’T PLAY
YOUR GAMES THAT WAY
I’M TIRED AND DON’T LIKE CRYIN’
SO I’M TRYIN OUT MY LIFE
TO BE ME WITHOUT YOU…..


FIRST I’LL SAY GOOD–BYE
AND WON’T BOTHER LOOKING BACK – ‘CAUSE I ONLY LOOK AHEAD NOW

AND THEN I’M GONNA LEARN TO SMILE
AND BE A STRONGER ME – NOT THE WEAKER GIRL YOU MADE ME BE

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)

BET YA THOUGHT YOU HAD ME – UNDERNEATH YOUR THUMB
DID YA THINK THAT I WAS DUMB – WELL YOU DON’T CONTROL ME

SO I’M STOMPIN’ OUT THE HURT AND I'M BREAKIN’ FREE
FOR ONCE I’M GONNA LOVE ME FIRST-

(CHORUS)

I WON’T LIVE THIS WAY…..

(TAG)

NO MY HEART WON’T PLAY – YOUR GAMES THAT WAY

I’VE HAD ENOUGH
AND IT’S TIME THAT I MOVED ON
‘CAUSE WE CAN’T SAVE
WHAT’S BEEN LONG SINCE DEAD AND GONE

DON’T TELL ME YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT ME
I SEE YOU’VE DONE JUST FINE
SHE’S STANDIN’ OVER THERE TRYIN’ NOT TO STARE
SO DON’T WASTE MY TIME (BUT)

(CHORUS)

YOU CAN CRY- IF YOU WANT TO
YOU CAN CRY
AND LEAVE A TRAIL OF TEARS BEHIND YOU
I’M STRONGER NOW SO LET THEM FALL
I KNOW THEY'RE NOT SINCERE AT ALL
BUT YOU CAN CRY
YOU CAN CRY
IF YOU WANT TO


TOO MANY TIMES
I TURNED AND WALKED AWAY
THEN YOU'D THROW A LINE
AND WREEL ME RIGHT BACK IN

IT’S HALF MY FAULT - BUT GUESS WHAT
I’M WHERE IT’S GONNA END
I DON’T WANT YOU IN MY LIFE NO MORE
NOT EVEN AS A FRIEND (SO)

WHAT LOVE DOES

(SPOKEN INTRO)

“OK NOW….THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTS”

JIMMY HAS A KILLER SMILE THAT DRIVES THE WOMEN WILD
HIS TATTOOS SCREAM “A REBEL BOY” WHEN HIS HARLEY FIRES TO LIFE
A BRAWLER AND A RAMBLER FROM THE HILLS DOWN TO THE COAST
HE’LL NEVER SETTLE DOWN…THAT’S WHAT HE LIKES TO BOAST
(WELL GUESS WHAT SON....)

(CHORUS)

WHEN THE PLANS YOU MAKE ALL CRUMBLE
HITS YA’ RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES
TURNS YA’ STUPID MAKES YOU HUMBLE
SEEIN’ LIFE IN ANOTHER LIGHT
TAKES THE WILL TO STAND RIGHT FROM YA
BEGGIN’ MERCY FROM ABOVE
IT CHANGES EVERYTHING... WHOA!
THAT’S WHAT LOVE DOES!....

(SPOKEN) “UH HUH IT MIXES IT ALL UP…OH YEAH HERE WE GO”...

(VERSE 2)

BABY'S GOT A LAW DEGREE AND A SHINY NEW MUSTANG
SAYS SHE’S MARRYING A RICH MAN WHO CAN GIVE HER EVERYTHANG
PRETTY THINGS LIKE DIAMOND RINGS IT’S NOTHIN’ BUT THE BEST
DADDY’S GIRL AIN’T SETTLING FOR LESS
(WELL GUESS WHAT HONEY....)

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE - spoken)

YEAH,YOU MAY THINK YOU GOT YOUR PERFECT LIFE ALL FIGURED OUT
UNTIL LOVE STEPS IN...OHHHH WATCH OUT NOW.....

TAKES THE WILL TO STAND RIGHT FROM YA
BEGGIN’ MERCY FROM ABOVE

OPPOSITES RELATE
Tina Tufts-May

Lyric and Melody written By Tina Tufts-May



(VERSE 1)

BOBBY LIKES TO RATTLE AMY’S CAGE
GET HER MADDER THAN A SPITTIN’ CAT
SEND HER FLYIN’ IN A RAGE
‘CAUSE BOBBY, WELL, HE’S THAT KIND OF GUY
LIKES TO STIR THE POT THEN DUCK AND RUN
‘SAYS THE MAKIN’ UP’S REAL NICE


(CHORUS)

NORTH AND SOUTH
EAST VS. WEST
PESSIMIST AND OPTIMIST
WELL, MORE OR LESS
IT’S A HE SAYS, SHE SAYS BATTLE
BASED ON LOVE AND HATE
THAT’S THE BEAUTY OF RELATIONSHIPS
WHEN OPPOSITES RELATE


(VERSE 2)

AMY’S NEVER WORKED A SINGLE DAY
IN A HAY FIELD TILL THE SUN WENT DOWN
SHE’S A HIGH CLASS CPA
BOBBY NEVER CARED FOR THE RICH GIRL TYPE
HE WANTS A WOMAN WHO CAN KEEP IT REAL
BUT DANG HER LEGS LOOK NICE

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)

HE’S A SOUTH-WEST GOOD OL’ COUNTRY BOY
SHE’S A DADDY’S GIRL FROM EAST DETROIT
AS MUCH ALIKE AS DAY AND NIGHT
SEE THE WAY THESE TWO IGNITE…..

‘CAUSE YOU’D THINK WITH ALL THEIR DIFFERENCES
THEY’D OF BUILT A TEN FOOT WALL
BUT THE BRICKS THEY LAY DON’T KEEP EM’ OUT
IT’ KEEPS THEM COMIN’ BACK FOR MORE!


(SPOKEN……”SEE, WHAT WE HAVE HERE FOLKS IS A MAGNETIZED BI-POLAR RELATIONSHIP”

NOT ONE TEAR
Tina Tufts-May

YOU UNDRESSED ME WITH A SINGLE STARE –YOUR LYIN’ EYES - COULD STRIP ME TO MY SOUL
LEAVIN’ ALL MY INSECURITIES – FOR THE WORLD – SO EVERYONE WOULD KNOW
YOU BROUGHT ME TO MY KNEES - BUT THAT DIDN’T KILL ME –NO!

CHORUS

WITH A PAIR OF MAKE-BELIEVE-IN WINGS- I MADE THEM REAL-THEN I LEARNED TO SING
IN SPITE LIES AND BROKEN DREAMS – I BECAME-WHAT YOU COULD NEVER SEE
YOU TRIED AND FAILED TO BRING ME CRASHING DOWN – I SWORE I'D NEVER CRY...
NOT ONE TEAR....

YOU COULD POUND ME WITH A VENGEANCE- CURSE ME EVERY SINGLE TIME- BUT THAT DIDN’T SLAY YOUR GHOSTS
IT ADDED FUEL TO YOUR DIRTY DIRTY LIE- OF HOW YOU LOVE- THE ONES YOU HURT THE MOST
HOW DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL TO KNOW - I ROSE ABOVE IT ALL- I DIDN’T FALL!

REPEAT CHORUS


BRIDGE

IT'S SAD YOU CAN'T IMAGINE THAT YOUR ANGEL LEARNED A PRAYER – SHE KEPT INSIDE
THAT SAVED A LIGHT ALL THOSE NIGHTS YOU MADE HER CRY THAT COULD HAVE DIED
BUT BURNED ON AND ON SO BRIGHT!
ON AND ON SO BRIGHT...OHHH YEAH YEAH

CHORUS

YOU TRIED AND FAILED TO BRING ME CRASHING DOWN- I SWORE I'D NEVER CRY
NOT ONE TEAR HIT THE GROUND-
WITH A PAIR OF WINGS – I MADE THEM REAL THEN I LEARNED TO SING
YOU TRIED AND FAILED TO BRING ME CRASHING DOWN – AND I SWORE I'D NEVER CRY
NOT ONE TEAR HIT THE GROUND….

AND WILD KALEIDOSCOPE DREAMS


DEVIN’S GOT A DROP DEAD SMILE AND DIMPLES CAVED IN DEEP
WITH JUST ONE FLASH - YOUNG GIRLS HEARTS - DROP DOWN AT HIS FEET
SINCE HE WAS SMALL HE LOVED TO POSE FOR ALL THOSE CAMERA LIGHTS
HE SAYS “ HOLLYWOOD - SOME DAY SOON - I’LL HAVE YOU IN MY SIGHTS”


CHORUS

DEVON ’S A DREAMER A TRUE MAKE-BELIEVER

I WAS ALWAYS THE KIND OF KID WHO NEVER LIKED TO SHARE

BUT SINCE I MET YOU I’VE GONE BACK TO MY OLD WAYS

PRETTY PINK, GLOSSY LIPS
ALL MINE, ALL MINE FOR ME TO KISS
I GOTTA HAVE YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN
PLEASE DON’T BLAME ME FOR BEING LIKE THIS
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO YOU, I’M KINDA SELFISH

IF ANOTHER GUY TRIES TAKING WAY TOO LONG OF A LOOK
& FOLLOWS WITH A SMART REMARK, HE BETTER RUN FROM MY LEFT HOOK
I’M NOT ONE WHO LIKES TO FIGHT, NOT PRONE TO THAT ABUSE
MY WEAKER JEALOUS EGO AIN'T SHARING NONE OF YOU (and your)

Lyrics
BRAVE NEW GIRL
Tina (Tufts) May © 2010


Well she married a man who was just like her father
And the circle went round with every hit and every holler
He took her self esteem and crushed it underneath his feet
Like a monster…

Well a tiny little voice buried deep in her soul
Fought it’s way to the surface – and took control
She yelled her resignation with her fist raised high
“You won’t touch me again ‘ - I’m sayin good-bye”


(Chorus)

She’s a brave new girl
In her brand-new world
Full of hope and salvation
She’s gonna touch the sky
There’s no time to cry
She wasn’t made to be broken
She wants her piece of Heaven (whoa!)
And she’s ready to climb
She takes one step - then two more
As she gives life a whirl
She’s a brave new girl



In a race with the wind never once lookin’ back
She left her demons and her devils sniffin’ at her tracks
Even when the pain of him and all those memories
Tried to hold her back


Well she found herself in Memphis - got herself a job
Startin’ right down at the bottom – she built herself back up
Now the mirror finally tells her – you’re the bravest one of all
‘Cause the smile that you wear - says you didn’t fall!

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Then Ooooooooo…….One day she met a man
Who’s gentle eyes and tender hands
Taught her how to trust again…..

(Chorus)


Now she’s a brave new girl
In her brand new world
Full of hope and salvation
She's gonna touch the sky
She feels so alive
YEAH!
She wants her piece of Heaven (whoa)
And she’s ready to climb
She takes one step- then two more
As she gives love a whirl
She’s a brave new girl…

In her brand new world…

A brave new girl!

It's such a perfect day - feeling good in every way
The birds are singing a brand new song
Yeah he's the reason why - I'm smiling all the time
He's everything I've waited on for so long
We're makin' plans - my future's in his hands
The funny thing about it is - I'm not even scared
What's goin' on - Is it love in the air?

It's such a perfect day - feeling good in every way
The birds are singing a brand new song
Yeah God's the reason why - I'm smiling all the time
He's everything I live for now and then some
He's making plans - my future's in his hands
The funny thing about it is - I'm not even scared
What's goin' on - I feel His love everywhere!

I’M COMING TO LIFE - SHINING SO BRIGHT
I FEEL I WANNA SING - IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING

(VERSE)

Destination open sky - my heart is flyin' high
A thousand miles an hour at the speed of love
His grace is such a gift - oh what a rush it is
Riding every rainbow - I can't get enough
What faith can bring - It's such a perfect thing
When you know there aint a doubt and everthing is right
I feel so blessed - Knowing God's in my life

DIDN’T WANT TO BOTHER MOMMA

LONG STICK IN HAND SHE CLIMBED THE TREE
THOUGHT It’D BE ENOUGH TO REACH
THEN A SNAP, A CRY OUT LOUD
MOMMA, MOMMA HELP ME PLEASE
THEN MAMMA CAME RUNNIN’.......

I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’D DO - IF YOU WERE TAKEN FROM ME
IF YOU WERE EVER TO LEAVE - IT WOULD KILL ME DEEP INSIDE
THANK GOD I CAUGHT YOU - IN THE NICK OF TIME



BECKY MARRIED RIGHT OUT OF SCHOOL
JUST HAD BABY NUMBER TWO
THIS ONE CAME BEFORE HIS TIME
LIKE THE ONE SHE LOST LAST JUNE
SHE PUSHED WITH EVERYTHING SHE HAD
LAID HIM ON HER CHEST, SO GLAD
WHEN HER BABY TOOK A BREATH
A MIRACLE FOR MOM AND DAD
AND SHE SAID,

THANK GOD I HAD YOU - IN THE NICK OF TIME
I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’D DO - IF YOU WERE TAKEN FROM ME
IF YOU WERE EVER TO LEAVE - IT WOULD KILL ME DEEP INSIDE
THANK GOD I HAD YOU - IN THE NICK OF TIME




BECKY’S BOY FELL IN LOVE
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE
BUT HIS GIRLFRIEND WAS LEAVING TOWN
TO SPREAD HER WINGS & FLY
DOWN ON ONE KNEE FACE BEADING SWEAT
HAD TO KNOW BEFORE SHE LEFT
NEVER BEEN SO SCARED,
THEN SHE SMILED AND WHISPERED YES
AND HE SIGHED....

CHORUS

THANK GOD I ASKED YOU - IN THE NICK OF TIME
I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’D DO - IF YOU WERE TAKEN FROM ME
IF YOU WERE EVER TO LEAVE - IT WOULD KILL ME DEEP INSIDE
THANK GOD I ASKED YOU - IN THE NICK OF TIME

HE'LL PAY THE PRICE

I KNOW SOMETHING’S WRONG
I CAN TELL YOU’VE BEEN CRYING
WHAT HAS HE DONE TO YOU THIS TIME?

PUT YOUR HEAD ON MY SHOULDER
THAT’S WHAT BEST FRIENDS ARE FOR
LET ME DRY YOUR TEARS
AND CALM ALL YOUR FEARS

CHORUS

IF HE EVER HURTS YOU AGAIN HE’LL PAY THE PRICE
I PROMISE YOU GIRL I WON’T THINK TWICE
FIRST I’LL CONSOLE YOU UNTIL YOU’RE FINE
THEN I’LL HOLD YOU TILL YOU’RE MINE
HE’LL SEE THE NEXT TIME HE’LL PAY THE PRICE

I CAN’T STOP HOW I FEEL
I LOVED YOU FOR SO LONG
AND NEVER STEPPED ACROSS THAT LINE

BUT I’VE SEEN TOO MANY TIMES
THE LIGHT DYING IN YOUR EYES
EACH TIME HE’S LET YOU DOWN
SO I’M TELLING YOU NOW

WITH ME AT YOUR SIDE AND THE WORLD AT YOUR FEET
JUST THINK OF HOW SWEET LOVE WOULD BE

FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE

AN ANGEL LIVES AMONG US
ABOUT TWO HOURS OLD, A BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL
ALL THE STRENGTH HER MOMMA HAD
LEFT THE MOMENT SHE BROUGHT HER INTO THE WORLD
SO HER DADDY NAMED HER HEAVEN
SHE’S ALL HE HAS NOW, AS HE MAKES THIS VOW

CHORUS
OH HE SWEARS HE’LL BE HER KING HER KNGHT IN ROYAL COURT
BATTLE EVERY MONSTER THAT HIDES BEHIND HER BEDROOM DOOR
ON SPECIAL DAYS THEY’LL DRINK MAGIC TEA
RIDE HORSES WITH FIERY WINGS
AND IF ANYTHING WILL CAUSE HER HEART TO BREAK
HE’LL MAKE IT RIGHT FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE

HEAVEN GREW UP SO FAST
AND WHEN SHE STARTED SCHOOL SHE SOON REALIZED
SHE WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE REST
LIFE WAS HARD ON HER, SOMETIMES IT MADE HER CRY
SHE HAD A RARE HEART CONDITION
(SHE SHARED THAT WITH HER MAMA AND)
IT BROKE HER DADDY’S OWN IN TWO

CHORUS
CAUSE HE SWORE HE’D BE HER KING HER KNGHT IN ROYAL COURT
BATTLE EVERY MONSTER THAT HID BEHIND HER BEDROOM DOOR
ON SPECIAL DAYS THEY’D DRINK MAGIC TEA
RIDE HORSES WITH FIERY WINGS
AND IF ANYTHING WOULD CAUSE HER HEART TO BREAK
HE’D MAKE IT RIGHT FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE

AND FOR ALL OF HIS PRAYERS WOULD IT SAVE HIS BABY GIRL
ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS FOR SURE....

I GET A LITTLE BIT CRAZY
EVERYTIME WE’RE ALL ALONE
I LOVE THE WAY YOU TOUCH ME
THAT’S WHY I ALWAYS HURRY HOME
NO ONE’S EVER MADE ME FEEL
LIKE I’M STARVING INSIDE, YET SATISFIED
MY HUNGER FOR YOU IS OUT OF CONTROL
AND EVERY CORNER OF MY SOUL (WANTS TO)

CHORUS
TOUCH YOU WITH FINGER TIPS OF MY EMOTION (I WANNA)
BREATHE IN YOUR BEAUTY, FILL YOU WITH MY DEVOTION
LOSE YOU IN MY HEART, TAKE YOU FAR AWAY
SLOWLY MOVE YOU TO ANOTHER TIME AND PLACE
I’M GONNA TAKE YOU THERE

WITH YOU HERE LYING BESIDE ME
AND THE CANDLELIGHT REFLECTING OFF YOUR FACE
I WANT YOU SO MUCH BABY
AND IT’S MY HEART TALKING MAKE NO MISTAKE
YOU’RE A MAN EVERY WOMAN WOULD LOVE TO HAVE
BUT YOU’RE HERE WITH ME, OH IT’S SO SWEET
I’LL SHOW YOU THE WAYS I CAN LOVE YOU BLIND
UNTIL YOU SEE THE MORNING LIGHT (I’M GONNA)

WILL HE CANCEL OUT AGAIN OR DO WHAT HE SAID
AND NOT LET HIS BABY DOWN
LIKE OTHER TIMES HE’D BLOWN INTO TOWN

AND AS LACE AND FRILL COME RUNNIN’ DOWN THE STAIRS
SHE’S WAY TOO YOUNG TO LEARN THAT LIFE JUST ISN’T FAIR

PRETTY FLOWERS DECORATIONS IN THE HALL
EMMA’S DRESSED IN WHITE AND NOW SHE’S PRACTISING HER WALK

NOT ON MY SHOULDER

YOU’VE BEEN DEALT SO MANY BLOWS IN YOUR LIFE
YOU TOOK THEM ALL, STOOD SO TALL AND LET NO ONE SEE YOU CRY
EXCEPT FOR ME, I’VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE
CAN’T YOU SEE HOW MUCH I CARE

CHORUS
BUT I CAN’T JUST BE A FRIEND ANYMORE
DON’T WANNA SEE YOUR TEARS FALL UNLESS MY LOVE MAKES THEM POUR
LET ME TAKE THE PAIN AWAY
LET ME HOLD YOU TILL WE’RE OLD AND GREY
AND MAKE EVERY TIME YOU CRY BE IN MY ARMS
NOT JUST ON MY SHOULDER

I’VE ALWAYS BEEN ONE STEP AWAY ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
BUT NOW YOU SEE, I NEED TO BE CLOSER THAN WE’VE EVER BEEN
YOU SAY IT’S CRAZY FOR US TO FALL IN LOVE
WELL LET YOUR HEART DECIDE AFTER WE’VE TOUCHED

LET ME TAKE YOUR PAIN AWAY
LET ME HOLD YOU TILL WE’RE OLD AND GREY
AND MAKE EVERY TIME YOU CRY BE IN MY ARMS
NOT JUST ON MY SHOULDER

IMPOSSIBLE TO ONE
Tina (Tufts) May/Germain Brunet
LIVING DAY TO DAY, KEEPING LOVE AWAY
WITH A FORTRESS BUILT AROUND MY HEART
IF I LET NO ONE IN, I’D NEVER HURT AGAIN
BUT THAT PLAN FELL APART

WHEN YOUR SMILE LAUNCHED MY HEART TO THE SUN
NOW IT’S SO HIGH WHERE I’M FALLING FROM

CHORUS
OH BABY I NEVER THOUGHT I’D FIND
MY HEAVEN, BUT I SEE IT IN YOUR EYES
I’VE NEVER FELT LOVE THIS STRONG
AN UNBREAKABLE BOND
I KNOW THE ODDS OF FINDING LOVE LIKE THIS
ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO ONE

SOMETIMES YOU CAN’T CONTROL, THE WAY THE DICE WILL ROLL
I THANK GOD FOR HIS PLANS
CAUSE WHEN I HOLD YOU CLOSE, HEAVEN KNOWS
I NEVER WANT TO END THIS DANCE

I FEEL SO ALIVE WHEN YOU PRESS YOUR LIPS TO MINE
MY HEART EXPLODES, HAPPENS EVERYTIME

CHORUS

BRIDGE
SOME PEOPLE SEARCH A LIFETIME AND NEVER FIND A LOVE THIS RARE
A LOVE THAT BRINGS THEM TO THEIR KNEES TO SAY A PRAYER

HOPE FLIES
Tina Tufts-May

Lyric,melody, vocals by Tina Tufts-May


(Verse 1)

Sometimes life is not the dream - you’ve been prayin’ for
And the pain of loss - is always more than you ever bargained for

But there’s a hand that reaches out and leads us to a place
Where miracles lie in us all - just waiting for their day (yeah yeah)
Just waiting for their day is a miracle - in us all


(Chorus)

Hope floats
Faith will teach us how to swim
'Cause hope knows
Faith will give us strength within
Hope will pray for better days
And faith will lead the way
Lift up your eyes
Faith will touch the sky
Cause hope flies!


(Verse 2)

You know it's always dark- before you see the light of dawn
And you're bound to feel the cold - before you ever feel the sun

But every darkened hour - has a moment where the light-
Can warm the coldest heart -and love makes a brand-new start...

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)

The reality is life can turn to make a sudden change in plans
Look up and say a prayer - you're not alone
He's reaching down....can you feel God's loving hands
He has you in His hands!!


(Repeat Chorus)

(Tag)

Keep the hope - keep the faith
You are strong and you will rise - Hope flies!

Sometimes life is not the dream - you've been prayin' for
Keep the faith - look inside - and hope will fly

THE COOLEST THING ABOUT ME

Lyric Tina Tufts May & Bruce May

Melody by Tina Tufts May

(Verse)

I've got a - big truck - with big tires
That makes a hell-of-a noise when the engine fires
All my buddies all say - "Hey Man- that's real cool" (yes they do)

I've got a - dog named Jake - a house on the lake
A little money in the bank I saved for - rainy days
And lots of time for catchin' fish and some rays - that's cool too

But those are just material things...
I wanna tell ya' - the coolest thing about me...

(Chorus)

Ain't my money ain't my Chevy
Ain't my house or what's inside
It's you my little darlin'
When you're standin' by my side
'Cause when you're hangin' on my arm I feel
Ten foot high ( My my my)
I love to take you 'round town
How'd I get so darned lucky
'Cause even a blind man can see -
You're the coolest thing about me

You really - got some style - you got a lot of class
That smile of yours is somethin' - stoppin' people in their tracks
There's a spark that's makin' me wanna be - a much better man

I'm feelin' better than - I ever have
And when they ask - "Hey whats your secret man"... (spoken)
HUH! I'll say, I'm glad you asked...

(Repeat Chorus)

Ain't my money ain't my Chevy
Ain't my house or what's inside
It's you my pretty darlin'
When you're standin' by my side
'Cause when you're hangin' on my arm I feel
Ten foot high
I love to take you 'round town
How'd I get so darned lucky
'Cause even a blind man can see -
You're the coolest thing about me yeah!


(Bridge)

(GIRL I HOPE YOU KNOW I'LL ALWAYS TREAT YOU RIGHT)
(BECAUSE THE ONE THING I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT THE REST OF MY LIFE)

(Repeat Chorus)

Ain't my money - ain't my Chevy
Ain't my house or what's inside
It's you my little darlin'
When you're standin' by my side
'Cause when you're hangin' on my arm I feel
Ten foot high ( My oh my)
I love to take you 'round town
How'd I get so darned lucky
'Cause even a blind man can see - (it)

Ain't my money - ain't my Chevy
Ain't my house or what's inside
I'm certain that without you
I'd just be an average guy
'Cause when you're hangin' on my arm I feel-
A hundred foot high (that's no lie)
I love to take you round town
Girl you really are something
You're the love of my life and by far
The coolest thing about me...yeah!

( Spoken Tag )

Yeah baby you're the coolest thing about me

HEAR MY PRAYER
Tina Tufts-May

Lyric, melody and lead vocal Tina Tufts-May
Harmonies by Bruce May


Father I’m on my knees
Battered and torn I pray
For you to save my soul tonight
I’m humbled at your feet
I surrender my life to your hands
And to your son who died for me

(CHORUS)

Jesus- Jesus
Your mercy is so great
Save me with your loving grace
Help me stand to walk – forever in your light
Lord hear my prayer tonight

Without you life is so cold
I’ve tried it on my own but now I see
How much I need you in my life
And what you sacrificed for me
Your shed your blood for all my sins and in your Holy name
I’m born again – to be – redeemed

(REPEAT 1ST CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)

I will stand – I will stand for you
I believe – I believe in you
I will turn – I will turn to only you
You’re all I’ll ever need
I cry out to you
Jesus – Jesus
Jesus – Jesus

(LAST CHORUS)

Jesus – Jesus
Your mercy is so great
In your forgiveness I am saved
My heart and soul
Wants to walk inside your light
Lord hear my prayer….tonight

Lyrics
THE LAST TIME
Tina Tufts/Germain Brunet

HIS SHIP WAITS IN THE HARBOUR
SHE’S CRYING PLEASE DON’T LEAVE
LIPS GENTLY BRUSH ACROSS HER FACE
HE SAYS “DO YOU HAVE A SMILE FOR ME”

HE GATHERS HER IN HIS ARMS
AND SAYS “BABY I WON’T BE FAR
WHEN YOU NEED ME JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES
I’LL BE EVERYWHERE YOU ARE

CHORUS
THIS AIN’T THE LAST TIME
IT AIN’T OUR LAST RIDE
IT’S ONLY GOODBYE
FOR A LITTLE WHILE
SO DARLING DON’T YOU CRY
IT’S NOT THE END
THIS AIN’T THE LAST TIME
I’LL BE WITH YOU AGAIN

(Verse two)

A small girl on his shoulders
Can't be much more than three
Her little hands - they pat his head
She said, "Just one more ride for me"

ROSES ON A PILLOW
AN OLD MAN ON HIS KNEES
HIS HANDS ARE SHAKING, HIS HEART IS BREAKING
HE DOESN’T WANT TO LEAVE

FOR FIFTY YEARS THEY SANG A LOVE SONG
TODAY THE LAST NOTE PLAYED
JUST BEFORE SHE PASSED SHE WHISPERED “PLEASE DON’T CRY
WE’LL DANCE TOGETHER AGAIN SOMEDAY”

CHORUS

TAG - THIS AIN’T THE LAST TIME

DONAHUE ROSE
Tina (Tufts) May and Germain Brunet

SHE WAS A SHY YOUNG GIRL SEVENTEEN AND FULL OF WONDER
A BUDDING ROSE NOT YET A FLOWER
HIS NAME WAS DONAHUE, WHEN HE SMILED HER HEART WOULD THUNDER
CHANCE MEETING ON A SUMMER BREAK IN JUNE
( they met on a summer break in June)

THEY SPENT THE NEXT TWO MONTHS LAUGHING UNDERNEATH THE SUN
AND THEIR LAST NIGHT TOGETHER CRYING UNDERNEATH THE MOON

CHORUS
HE PICKED A PURPLE FLOWER PLACED IT IN HER HAIR
AND SAID “I HATE THAT WE’LL BE FAR APART
BUT I WANNA KEEP IN TOUCH” AND SHE SAID “I DO TOO
YOU ALREADY HAVE MY HEART
BY TOMORROW I’LL BE MISSING YOU SO
MY DONAHUE ROSE”

HE WAS COLLEGE BOUND LIVIN’ CLEAR ACROSS THE COUNTRY
HE PROMISED HE WOULD WRITE AND SHE WOULD CALL
THEY TRIED TO MAKE IT LAST, STILL IT ENDED WITH GOODBYE
YOUNG LOVERS LEADING VERY DIFFERENT LIVES

SOMETIMES HER HEART TAKES HER AWAY BACK TO WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
ON THE MOONLIT SAND BOTH HAND IN HAND, HE’S HOLDIN’ HER AGAIN

CHORUS

LAST CHORUS
HE PICKED A PURPLE FLOWER PLACED IT IN HER HAIR
AND SAID “I HATE THAT WE’LL BE FAR APART
BUT I WANNA KEEP IN TOUCH” AND SHE SAID “I DO TOO”
SHE REMEMBERS EVERY KISS BY HEART

( VERSE)
SHE HAS BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL AND ONE PRAYER ON HER LIPS
DOES SHE EVEN HAVE IT IN HER – T0 GO BACK TO WHERE HE IS
SHE PUSHES BACK THE MEMORIES BUT IT GETS HARDER EVERY MILE
AND AS THE WHEELS BRING HER CLOSER – HER ANGER FIGHTS TO STAY ALIVE (SHE’S)

(CHORUS)

HOLDING ON TO LETTING GO
THEN GIVING IN
IT’S WHERE THE HEALING IS
FROM WHERE THE PAIN BEGINS
ASKIN’ GOD TO GIVE HER STRENGTH
TO OPEN UP HER HEART
FORGIVENESS….
WAS THE FIRST PLACE SHE WOULD START

( VERSE)

HE HAS BOTH HANDS ON THE BOTTLE- CHASIN’ THE DEVIL FROM HIS MIND
HE WAS SO DARNED TIRED OF HATING – THE MAN HE WAS INSIDE
HE THREW DOWN THAT DRINK AND HIT HIS KNEES – CRIES, I DON’T WANT THIS LEGACY
I’M GONNA LOVE ME AGAIN – BUT WHERE THE HELL DO I BEGIN…(HE’S)

(CHORUS)

HOLDING ON TO LETTING GO
THEN GIVING IN
IT’S WHERE THE HEALING IS
FROM WHERE THE PAIN BEGINS
ASKING GOD TO GIVE HIM STRENGTH

(BRIDGE)

THROUGH THE NIGHT THEY FOUND THEIR ABSOLUTION….IN EACH OTHER’S ARMS….IN EACH OTHERS ARMS…..(THEY WERE)

(CHORUS)

HOLDING ON TO LETTING GO
THEN GIVING IN
WHERE THE HEALING IS
FROM WHERE THE PAIN BEGINS
ASKING GOD TO GIVE THEM STRENGTH
TO OPEN UP THEIR HEARTS
(MMMMM..MMM..MMM)
FORGIVENESS….
WAS THE FIRST PLACE THEY WOULD START

HOUSE WITHOUT A WINDOW
Tina Tufts May

To see a person's soul look in their eyes
The windows straight to everything inside

That's what they say - but it don't pertain to you
You said it seems you're the exception to the rule...(you said)


(Chorus)

Your heart lives in a house - where you took out all the glass
And boarded up the holes - to hide a painful past
You said your soul is dark and cold
I said there's love where there is hope
You say it's safer just for you to live alone
In a house without a window

I know you gave her everything you had
And she threw it in your face to have a laugh

I can imagine how that - must have made you feel
'Cause I could see the wounds that you refused to - let heal

(Repeat Chorus)


(Bridge)

But the sun finds a way inside - where there's a crack
You walked to the light and felt the wamth ..
And it bring you back....You said I brought you back...

You said your soul was dark and cold
But my love it brought you hope
Then said, I can't believe I ever lived alone

I said with me I swear you'll never call your home
A house without a window....
A house without a window....

(Tag)

To see a perons's soul - look in their eyes
the windows straight to everything inside

NEVER BE LONELY

Vocals: Tina May

(VERSE 1)

LONESOME....IS MORE THAN JUST A WORD
TO DESCRIBE THE SOUND OF NIGHT FALL
WHEN YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE THAT’S HEARD

AND TEARDROPS...LEAVE A WARM TRAIL ON YOUR FACE
BUT THEY’RE A BITTER CONSOLATION
FOR THE TOUCH THEY CAN’T REPLACE..(BUT)


(CHORUS)

THE ARMS THAT HOLD YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT
ARE SO WARM AND KIND AND STRONG
THEY PROTECT YOU FROM A COLD DARK PLACE
WHEN THE NIGHT FEELS OH SO LONG
IN YOUR MIND HE’S ALWAYS BEEN
WHERE HE NEEDS TO BE
WHERE YOU’LL NEVER BE LONELY


(VERSE 2)


YOU THINK A GOOD MAN...IS JUST TO HARD TO FIND
YOU’VE BEEN SEARCHIN’ FOR A LIFETIME
UNTIL YOU'VE NEARLY LOST YOUR MIND

BUT FINALLY YOUR SUN’S ABOUT TO SHINE
AND MELT THOSE PLACES IN YOUR HEART
THAT HAVE NEVER SEEN THE LIGHT ...('CAUSE)

(CHORUS)


(BRIDGE)

HE’S THE COMFORT YOU’VE BEEN PRAYIN’ FOR...SO DRIFT AWAY
TO A BETTER PLACE

THE PREACHER’S DAUGHTER
AN ANGEL IN HER DADDY’S EYES
MY SOUL WAS IN HER HANDS
NO STOPPING HER PLANS
SWEET DEVIL WOMAN IN DISGUISE

CHORUS
SHE LED ME TO THE FIRE
HUNG UP HER HALO
HER WICKED EYES BROUGHT ME TO MY KNEES
PURE SATISFACTION
HAD ME YELLIN’ AMEN
SHE MADE ME FEEL SO ALIVE
OH THAT WOMEN KILLED ME

SHE SANG IN SUNDAY CHOIR
MY MOUTH GOT DRYER
WITH EVERY LOOK SHE SENT MY WAY
I WENT THERE FOR SALVATION
FOUND ONLY TEMPTATION
SHE BROUGHT.. MATCHES AND WANTED TO PLAY

CHORUS

BRIDGE
HELL FIRE ABLAZE IN THE PREACHER MAN’S EYES
HE YELLED OUT “SINNERS MUST REPENT”
BUT WHAT WOULD HE SAY IF HE FOUND OUT TODAY….
JUST WHERE MY HANDS HAD BEEN……(WHEN SHE)

HUNG UP HER HALO
HER WICKED EYES BROUGHT ME TO MY KNEES

GROWING UP MOMMA ALWAYS SAID
BELIEVE IN DREAMS CHILD - GOD DOES THE REST
I GRADUATED WHEN I TURNED NINETEEN
AND IN PLACE OF HER LITTLE BOY STOOD A PROUD MARINE

WHEN IT CAME TIME TO LEAVE I COULD HARDLY SAY GOODBYE
TO THE ANGEL WHO HAD FAITH IN ME
AND ALWAYS STOOD BY MY SIDE (SHE SAID)

CHORUS
I HOPE WHEREVER YOU ARE
YOU’LL ALWAYS SHINE LIKE A STAR
CAUSE YOU’RE THE BEST GOD MADE BY FAR
A NEW JOURNEY STARTS HERE AND NOW
WISH I COULD KEEP YOU SOMEHOW
BUT THE TIME HAS COME I KNOW
I KNOW IT’S TIME TO LET YOU GO

YEARS WENT BY – ONE FIRST TOUCH
SHE’S GOT HIS MAMA’S EYES, I LOVE HER SO MUCH
THE DOCTOR SAID “YOUR WIFE ISN’T PULLING THROUGH”
AND I COULD TELL SHE ALREADY KNEW

LAYIN’ IN MY ARMS SHE HELD OUR BABY AND PRAYED
“PLEASE LET HER HEAR ME GOD WHEN I SAY”

OUR LITTLE GIRL’S ALL GROWN UP TODAY

WHEN YOU TOUCH ME LIKE THAT
Tina Tufts May


You found me in a moment where my life – wasn’t lookin’ so pretty (mmm..mmm)
And the rose colored glasses I’d been wearin’ – were all broken and gritty ( yeah)
‘Cause when a heart has been shattered – the pieces all scattered
There’s cracks and there’s holes where they heal

I found you in a moment where my life - wasn't lookin' so pretty (mmm...mmm)

LORD lay - lay your hands on me
And show me - just what they can do
Let them fill me - with light and with hope
It's a new day - I surrender to you you
I can feel - my strength coming back


Lay your- hands on me baby
And show me – just what they can do
Let em’ fill me – with light and with hope
For a new day – of loving with you
I can feel – my strength coming back
When you touch me like that….

You caress my lost faith back to life – without ever even tryin’ ( mmm…mmm)
If I said I wasn’t needing your touch –well baby I’d be lyin’ (yeah)
You whisper a promise – As night falls upon us
That leaves me with nowhere to hide! (so)

When you touch me like that

YOU LOVE ME
Tina Tufts-May

Lyric,melody and vocal - Tina Tufts-May

Harmonies - Bruce May

I’ve followed some roads – I’ve done some things – and I have sinned
I’ve hung my head – so no one could see – my shame within
And on my knees - Lord I have prayed – for your forgiveness more than once
I’ve felt Your Grace – I’ve felt the touch – of your perfect boundless love

So nothing holds me back…
From being who I am
‘Cause In your hands I’m free
To be who I was meant to be
When all my fears and pain
Come pouring down like the rain
I turn to you
Take shelter and believe
That Jesus you love me

Your mercy is great – Your heart is pure – And Your light shines
To light the way – when I am weak – in troubled times
‘Cause when I’m down – evil will try – to lead me to despair
But I’m not alone – I call your name - And know you’re always there

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
Even when I’m not at my best
When I turn right instead of left
You love me still – so faithfully

(REPEAT CHORUS X2 )
(TAG)
I know that You – That Jesus You love me

Backstory
My husband and I are always joking around and one of our favorite things to do is joke with a "play on words"...So he was saying something to me on the phone on his way home from work and I was distracted and did not hear what he said. The I heard, "You couldn't care less if I come home late or not?" And I replied with, "Well I COULD care less"...We both laughed and he said, "I outta write a song about that" and I dared him to. Well, he had most of the lyric written by the time he got home...LOL...
Lyrics
Oklahoma Weather

Bruce May/Tina Tufts-May


(Verse 1)

She could care less if I come home late but she doesn't
She could cry less when I hurt her if she tried
She thought I was the perfect man but I wasn't
Still she loves me just a shade more than she doesn't

(Verse 2)

I could care less if she runs off with another man
I could hurt a lot less when she says goodbye
I could give up on her fickle heart but I won't
'Cause I love her just a shade more than I don't

(Chorus)

And our love as I remember is as tough as it is tender
But we never could surrender to our fate
And the days we spent together
Were like that Oklahoma weather
Sometimes too rough and cold
But sometimes great


(Bridge)

So she'll keep running back to me 'til she doesn't
And I'll keep loving her until I change my mind
We thought we had the perfect love but it wasn't
They say love is as love does
And ours does just a shade more than it doesn't

(Chorus)

And our love as I remember is as tough as it is tender
But we never could surrender to our fate
And the days we spent together
Were like that Oklahoma weather
Sometimes too rough and cold
But sometimes great
