(1st Verse) If my heart was an open book Would you turn the pages, take a second look Or would you close the cover And say I wasn't your cup of tea Would you could you love me (2nd Verse) I bite my nails and pick up stray dogs I'm a mess in the morning, I'm a bed hog Just so much you don't know I'm afraid if the whole naked truth is seen Would you could you love me (Chorus) Would you could you ever be All I want and I know I need I'm afraid to pray, I'm afraid to believe Would you could you love me (3rd Verse) I like your eyes and I love your lips You could steal my soul with only one kiss I'm a bundle of need Find it hard just to breathe til I see Would you could you love me (Chorus) Would you could you ever be All I want and I know I need I'm afraid to pray, I'm afraid to believe Would you could you love me (Tag) I wonder baby If you really knew me Would you could you love...

New emotions, a summer night Hungry bodies holdin’ tight Innocence released with a young girl’s sighs Clouds unfold an August Moon September's bound to be here soon But tonight belongs to love beneath the desert sky (1st Chorus) Oh this moment has the magic hearts can't help but memorize Though the future is just a blur far down the line Should tomorrow come between this Oh, they'll always have this night, this bliss They'll always have this time This time This time Mmmm (2nd Verse) My mixed emotions have disappeared Love's the road that brought me here Still can see that young boy in your eyes Our bodies answer that same old moon Tomorrow's bound to come too soon But tonight belongs to love with no questions why (2nd Chorus) Oh this moment has the magic hearts can't help but memorize Though the future is just a blur far down the line Should tomorrow come between this Oh, we'll always have this night, this bliss We'll always have this time This time This time Mmmm (Musical Bridge) (Last Chorus) Oh this moment has the magic hearts cant help but memorize Though the future is just a blur far down the line Should tomorrow come between this Oh, we'll always have this night, this bliss We'll always Oh always We'll always have this time This time This time Mmmm This time ©Mary Coppin True Vision Music (ASCAP)Marycoppin@gmail.com www.MaryCoppin.com |

True and very painful to try to make a difference and end up making very little difference.
I talked to the parents, the father promised to make it stop. It just escalated. I talked to neighbors and my Mom and they said I had to do something. I did. And the authorities so dropped the ball. But as painful and scary and frustrating as it all was for me, if it happened again, I would have to do it all over again. Only sooner. Knowing now what I know. |

Easy to say I chose the right path My life has worked out well But since you called me, those long lost maybe’s They’ve been puttin’ my heart through hell You’re a bridge that I left standing If I’d been wiser I’d have burned One phone call and all my doubts return (2nd Verse) Easy to see I’m not that same girl Who’s whole world your moods defined No, I’ve recovered, there’s a new lover And he inspires me heart and mind But I can feel old feelings stealing All this confidence I’ve earned One phone call and all my doubts return (Bridge) You’re a wire I used to dance upon With some hard lessons learned Thought this battle won Things were dead and done Mmm but one phone call And all my doubts return (3rd Verse) Easy to hear In words that weren’t said you still hope that We’ll dance again I won’t be lured back, wouldn’t walk your train track Now that I know what’s on the other end You’re just ground already covered I was so sure this court was adjourned But just one phone call and all my doubts return (Repeat Bridge) You’re a wire I used to dance upon With some hard lessons learned Thought this battle won Things were dead and done Mmm but one phone call And all my doubts return ©Mary Coppin Marycoppin@gmail.com www.MaryCoppin.com |

Finished 9/21/07 yeah! That bridge seemed to take forever to get just right.
Had this song in mind and then started really writing it 9/13 the day after dancing in a barn up on Mamalahoa Hwy, just me and this elderly and very wise woman. Cool story. Shoulda blogged it. Oh and p.s. I'm supposed to make it VERY clear that this song has nothing to do with Raymond. |

I guess I am a little bit strange. Sometimes I hear colors.
This song came out of a phrase that I had forever rolling around in my brain "I am floating on a blow-up crocodile". I didn't know what it meant. I loved the image... but didn't know what it meant. And then eventually, the song told me it's name. |

©2007 Music and Lyrics by Mary Coppin I seldom saw my shoes past the last day of school Endless days of play and swimmin' lesson at the pool Me and the cousins racing bikes up and down my block Spent all my quarters on wax lips and swizzle sticks My favorite music was the ice cream truck Oh I remember the summertime And I remember the feeling when all the world seemed mine In the summertime Seems like yesterday, the summer I was 17 Thought I was hot, a tube top with cut off blue jeans Me and the boyfriend cruisin' Main Street most every night Holding hands up on the Ferris wheel, such a thrill First time he kissed me was the Fourth of July Oh I remember the summertime And I remember the feeling when all the world seemed mine In the summertime But these days, sometimes the fun gets lost Grown-up life can be a grind But when I hear that old Frosty Man's music coming round the bend Oh it all comes back again... And I remember the summertime I remember the feeling when all the world seemed mine In the summertime I remember the summertime Yeah, I remember the feeling when all the world seemed mine In the summertime I miss the summertime, I love the summertime (I'm gonna whistle now) ©2007 Mary Coppin True Vision Music (ASCAP) |

(Still in progress) ©2008 Music and Lyrics by Mary Coppin www.myspace.com/marycoppin (1st Verse) My friends keep buggin' me where I've been But baby I ain't tellin' them Nothin' yet They say they come around, I'm never home Hard to get me on the phone Grinnin' like I'm hypnotized What's that funny look now in my eyes (Chorus) It's you, you, you My cheeks hurt from smilin' It's you, you, you Baby every time I think of you I just melt I do I do Baby it's you (2nd Verse) I always dreamed of feeling like this MMmmm your sweet lips Kissin' on me So when did that sky get so blue Baby I'm so gone for you I see your face in every star I'm just a silly walking Hallmark Card (Chorus) It's you, you, you My cheeks hurt from smilin' It's you, you, you Baby every time I think of you I just melt I do I do Baby it's you (Bridge) Knowing you has changed the world around me Oh yeah, love has finally found me... (Chorus) It's you, you, you My cheeks hurt from smilin' It's you, you, you Baby every time I think of you I just melt I do I do Baby it's you (still in progress) ©2009 Mary Coppin True Vision Music (ASCAP) |

Love's Umbrella
©2009 Music and Lyrics by Mary Coppin (still being tweaked, lol) Ice cold rain drops Pounding the sidewalk tonight Worry worry, scurry scurry The whole world hurries inside But baby here with you We're laughing and warm Here under love's umbrella Yeah we can get through The crankiest storm We make the rain so jealous mmm, mmm, mmm Cuz there's just no getting us down Most days are sunny But sometimes the money Plays hide and seek We just cuddle up close Cuz baby we both know We always somehow end up with even more than we need But baby here with you We're laughing and warm Here under love's umbrella Yeah we can get through The crankiest storm We make the rain so jealous mmm, mmm, mmm Cuz there's just no getting us down ©2010 Music and Lyrics by Mary Coppin |

Not This Time
(Still being tweaked) ©2009 Music and Lyrics by Mary Coppin (1st verse) You called today left a message hoping I was fine My music on your mind There in the breath between your words My heart heard yours reaching out Sorry, but I can't answer now Yeah, I can hear You're still working too much And I can feel You're not quite okay But I still know My love was not enough So things are best just left this way (chorus) All your what-ifs and shoulda-beens If only this and maybe-thens Used to tire my mind But not this time Talk of soul-mates and destiny Inner voices and meant-to-be Once stole me blind But not this time Not this time (2nd verse) I close my eyes and your voice is gravel road on a summer day With a far off radio playing A song about a rag-top And love that would never stop But damn it did With barely a goodbye kiss Took me a long, long time Not to miss you so much And I still have days I'm not quite okay So you can want what you want But I know my love's still not enough So things are best just left this way (Chorus) Yeah, all your what-ifs and shoulda-beens If only this, and maybe-thens Used to tire my mind oh, but not this time Talk of soul-mates and destiny Inner voices and meant-to-be Once stole me blind But not this time Not this time (Bridge) (Chorus) Yeah, all your what-ifs and shoulda-beens If only this, and maybe-thens Used to tire my mind oh, but not this time Talk of soul-mates and destiny Inner voices and meant-to-be Once stole me blind But not this time Not this time ©2009 Music and Lyrics by Mary Coppin |

I feel so satisfied Here in paradise I do But you say I'm insatiable Well maybe I can't get enough Of your wonder-lust But it's all your fault you know I'm insatiable (tag) Don't blame me YOU started it ©2007 Mary Coppin True Vision Music (ASCAP) |

Bar Stool Prophet (in progress) ©2010 Music and Lyrics by Mary Coppin
I'm searching for some answers here And you sound like a bar stool prophet So maybe you can set me clear When I went wrong, yeah where I lost it, lost it Thank you, yeah I'll have a beer My heart sure needs a big, big, big bandaid The one I loved was just smoke and mirrors Quite a picture that he painted, he created A vision of Love All the things I dreamed true life could be A vision of love Or was my heart just playing tricks on me Tricks on me |
For now, here are some lyrics, at this moment anyway. . I'm literally tweaking daily. And no, they aren't all about me, and they aren't all about you either, hah!
JK, they are all about you! (I know, I'm so bad).
Hi you...
