1. Would You Could You Play
Would You Could You
Words and music by Mary Coppin

(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...
Oh, is who I am enough
Would you could you love mmmmm me

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Dee dee dee dee dee dee
Would you could you love.... me

2. This Time
This Time
(1st Verse)
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

Agatha

Lyrics and Music by Mary Coppin

(Chorus)

Agatha

It's killing me that they're killing you

Agatha

In all honesty, don't know what to do

Agatha

But I love you

(1st Verse)

You're almost thirteen years old

Don't you believe those things your told

You're not bad, you're not evil

Just a child around grown up people

Who want to paint you with the colors of their own sins

(Chorus)

Agatha

It's killing me that they're killing you

Agatha

In all honesty, don't know what to do

Agatha

But I love you

(2nd Verse)

They twist your words out of shape

You move and thousand eggshells break

Oh, they walk the line

No, they don't beat you

Still a crime

The Way they treat you

I want to scream wish I knew the thing to make this right

(Chorus)

Agatha

It's killing me that they're killing you

Agatha

In all honesty, don't know what to do

Agatha

But I love you

(Bridge)

Don't take their ways, don't own their scars

Beautiful spirit that you are

Remember

Remember

(Chorus)

Agatha

It's killing me that they're killing you

Agatha

In all honesty, don't know what to do

Agatha

But I love you...

Notes
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.

Crashin' Down
(1st Verse)

BEEN A DEMON LINGERIN' IN YOUR SHADOW

TURN YOUR HEAD, NOTHING'S THERE

HARD AS YOU'VE TRIED YOU'VE LOST THE BATTLE

AND NOW THE TRUTH STANDS BARE



'CAUSE ALL THOSE LIES YOU'VE TOLD YOURSELF FOR YEARS

COULDN'T STOP YOUR DESCENT

IT WAS NEVER A QUESTION OF IF

JUST WHERE AND WHEN



(Chorus)

SO NOW IT'S ALL COME CRASHING DOWN

THAT SCREAM IN YOUR THROAT THE ONLY SOUND

YOUR SANITY LOST, NO WAY TO BE FOUND

AGAIN, AGAIN



(2nd Verse)

A SLEEPWALKER'S DANGEROUS WHEN AWAKENED

A LIVE WIRE WAITING TO EXPLODE

SO NOW THE INNOCENT GET TORN UP AND SHAKEN

FOR THINGS THEY COULD NOT KNOW



OH, ALL THOSE LIES YOU'VE TOLD YOURSELF FOR YEARS

COULDN'T STOP YOU DECENT

IT WAS NEVER A QUESTION OF IF

JUST WHERE AND WHEN

6. All My Doubts Return
All My Doubts Return
(1st Verse)
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

Love's The Thing
Love's The Thing

(1st Verse)
Sometimes a heart needs time
Love won’t shine
And ordinary things seem hard

Most every lover knows
Love can deal some blows
And leave your dreams to die in the dark

(1st Chorus)
Love’s the thing that takes your heart up on a roller coaster ride
Love’s the thing to build you up then steal your pride
Love’s the thing

(2nd Verse)
So many hearts have felt
Afraid to melt
Oh no, fall in love again, that just won’t do

But when the moon turns full
Hearts they feel the pull
And ordinary things seem new

(2nd Chorus)
Love’s the thing that sails your heart across a moonlit summer sky
Love’s the thing to give you wings so you can fly
Love’s the thing

Love’s the thing that sails your heart across a moonlit summer sky
Love’s the thing to give you wings so you can fly
Love’s the thing

9. A Room Up For Rent
A Room Up For Rent
A Room Up For Rent

(1st Verse)
Inside this heart of mine
There’s a room I keep for loving you
On the walls you’ll find
Smiling memories and lost dreams too
It’s a room painted blue for all the tears I have spent
I know I should put that room up for rent

(2nd Verse)
A music box is there
It plays the song we sang when we first danced
Your whispers fill the air
Promises that made me take a chance
And there’s a drawer filled with every love letter you sent
So it’s hard to put that room up for rent

(Chorus)
Oh maybe there’s someone
Who could move in for awhile
Help me gain my ground again
Find my smile
If only temporarily
Someone could be there for me
And hold me closely I might mend
Oh but I can’t put that room up for rent

(3rd Verse)
I step inside the door
And I can feel your breath behind my ear
In your arms once more
Memories make the illusion clear
In this room you seem real, I can feel love again
So I can’t put your room up for rent

(Chorus)
Oh maybe there’s someone
Who could move in for awhile
Help me gain my ground again
Find my smile
If only temporarily
Someone could be there for me
And hold me closely I might mend
Oh but I can’t put that room up for rent

My Baby Loves Me
(1st Verse)
My baby tells me that he loves me
With the simple things that he does
A single rose, a kiss on my nose
Just because

(2nd Verse)
Oh if I only got a penny
For every time he makes me smile
That boy and me and all our family
We’d live in high style

(Chorus)
My baby he loves me
So sweetly, completely
All my riches are easy to see
My baby loves me
My baby loves me

(Instrumental Bridge)

(3rd Verse)
Well Valentines, they are for lovers
And every year he gives me three
Says it’s too hard to find just one card
Right for me

Because my baby he loves me
So sweetly, completely
All my riches are easy to see
My baby loves me
My baby loves me
My baby loves me
My baby loves me

(1st Verse)
Take it on the chin boy
Blue and gray
Hold that leather wheel so tight
Heaven told you good-bye
Would come one day
Turn the music up, just drive

(Chorus)
Some silly, sweet girl
And now seems the whole world
Will never quite taste the same
Stop, put the top up
That dark sky
It's looking like rain
And every song sings her name

(2nd Verse)
Waiting for your coffee
A new song plays
Wrap your heart around each line
Damn it's so peculiar
This golden ache
Hasn't dulled a bit with time

(Chorus)
Some silly sweet girl
And now seems the whole world
Will never quite taste the same
Stop, put the top up
That dark sky
It's looking like rain
And every song sings her name

(Bridge)
Such a mystical thing
What your heart's so missing
It's the man
You could be
In the air
That she breathes

(Chorus)
Some silly sweet girl
And now seems the whole world
Will never quite taste the same
Stop, put the top up
That dark sky
It's looking like rain
And every song sings her name

Head Shaped Hole In My Wall
©2008 Music and Lyrics by Mary Coppin

Who'd have dreamed you'd be the worst monster under my bed
Had my heart tucked in so safely
Believing every single sweet word you said
Nightmare, down the stairs, I'm falling
Finally waking up to all the messed up thngs you are
She's nothing,
you're swearing you don't love her
But I've hit the wall
Your lies have gone too far

Don't even bother
No you don't have to
We're so over
She can have you
There's a head shaped hole in my wall
Saying you
You're not the one for me

You say your mama didn't love you right when you were a kid
And you're still tangled in those bedtime stories
Of all the evil things your ex-girlfriend did
Up down, push pull, it's all you know
And that's just no good way to live or love
The chaos you cause, it's so addicting
Oh I wish you luck
But my heart's had enough

Don't even bother
No you don't have to
We're so over
She can have you
There's a head shaped hole in my wall saying you
You're no good for me

So now you're begging just to see me
Yeah you're jonesin' so bad
Sounds to me like that same crazy roller-coaster
You only love
What you can not have

Don't even bother
No you don't have to
We're so over
She can have you
There's a head shaped hole in my wall saying you
You're not the one for me

Don't even bother
No you don't have to
We're so over
She can have you
There's a head shaped hole in my wall saying you
You're not the one for me

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.

In a meadow a glow
With fireflies
I pulled you close to me
In the magic
Dancing there in your eyes
I learned what love could Be

Oh I
Still smile
Thinking of you
And those firefly nights

I loved running my fingers
Through your hair
As I cradled your head in my lap
Surrounded by sparkles of light in the air
We shared every wild dream we had

Oh I
Still smile
Thinking of you
And those firefly nights

I just look in my heart
And there you are
In that meadow with me
And those flutters of fire
Still so inspire
How easy and sweet
Love's meant to be mm mm

Oh I
Still smile
Thinking of you
And those firefly nights

Yes I
Still smile

And those firefly nights

(1st Verse)
I am floating on a blow up crocodile
Indian Summer, October’s surprise
You, you’re the sun, you make my body smile
With your warm orange glow coming through my closed eyes

(Chorus)
I feel so strange, strange
I feel so strange, strange
And oh, I swear that where you touched me
My molecules are rearranged
I feel so strange, strange

(2nd Verse)
Purple yellow, feeling things I’ve never felt
You're beside me, breathing, even thinking gets tough
Oh, I’m fried ice-cream, for you an easy melt
All my plans an etch-a-sketch that’s been all shook up

Haven't figured this out don't wanta try
I think I just saw myself floating by

(Chorus)
I feel so strange, strange
I feel so strange, strange
And oh, I swear that where you touched me
My molecules are rearranged
I feel so strange, strange

(Bridge)
Aww, there's this hurky-jerky, cool and quirky
Kaleidoscope of sound
Racing through my veins
Whenever you come around

(Chorus)
I feel so strange.....

Yeah, I swear that where you touched me
My molecules are rearranged
I feel so strange, strange

La la la la la la la la la la, La la la la la la la la la la,
Oh it's all too strange, so strange, so strange, so strange….

Notes
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.

If I Met Me (The Curly Haired Girl Song)
©2007 Mary Coppin True Vision Music ASCAP

(1st Verse)
If I met me at six years old
I think I know what I’d say
They don’t hate you, they hate themselves
But with time and love things change

Curly hair’s a good thing
And different is a great thing
It won’t always hurt this way
So hard to know at six years old

(2nd Verse)
If I met me at thirteen years old
I think I know what I’d say
You won’t always look like a boy
No, you’re gonna bloom one day

Curly hair’s a good thing
And different is a great thing
Yeah, you’re gonna be okay
So hard to know at thirteen years old

(3rd Verse)
If I met me at eighteen years old
I think I know what I’d say
Forget that guy, you weren’t born for such heartache
Believe me you’ll thank God he's gone one day

I know he’s got you crying
Hurts so bad, you think your dying
But the right one is well on the way
So hard to know at eighteen years old

(Bridge)
If I could meet again
Those tender me’s I’ve been
Maybe I could save me some pain
But all those hurts worked through
Were just the journey to
A stronger and wiser, sweeter and kinder
Me that remains

(4th Verse)
Now I meet me and I’m supposedly grown
But I don’t always know what to say
Time’s been sweet but I can still feel afraid
When my life won’t unfold my way

Then I remember….
Curly hair’s a good thing
And different is a great thing
And the world seems to fall into place
Nice to know I guess I’m finally grown

Yeah I’m grown
And it’s good to meet me, yeah yeah yeah
Nice to meet me

Summertime
I Remember The Summertime
©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)

That Kinda Girl
©2002 Music and Lyrics by Mary Coppin

(1st Verse)
It was all so fine
When you just smiled
And listened sweetly to my songs
So why'd you cross that line
Now the air is difficult
So awkward and wrong

I apologize
But I am not those things you think you're seeing
In my eyes

(Chorus)
I might seem shiny, might seem new
But I can't be the cure for you
Gotta make my own crazy way in this world
So whatever answers you think I've got
I'm just so sure I know I'm not
That kinda girl
I'm not that kinda girl

(2nd Verse)
It'd be too easy for me
To swim inside your sad, beautiful smile
But in the end all we'd be
Is a distraction wrapped in
The consequences of denial

So go home to your wife
I am not the thing to fix your life

((Chorus)
I might seem shiny, might seem new
But I can't be the cure for you
Gotta make my own crazy way in this world
So whatever answers you think I've got
I'm just so sure I know I'm not
That kinda girl
I'm not that kinda girl

(Bridge)
I see the question cross your face
Another time, another place
But that will never be
So please don't you fall
You don't know me
You don't know me at all

(Chorus)
I might seem shiny, might seem new
But I can't be the cure for you
Gotta make my own crazy way in this world
So whatever answers you think I've got
I'm just so sure I know I'm not
That kinda girl
I'm not that kinda girl

Baby every time I think of you I just melt

Baby it's you

I never believed in things like this
Til I felt 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

Just kissed your number on my caller ID
Kinda pitiful, yeah sure
Can't escape this gravity
Oh I know most your friends are your ex-lovers
I'll probably end up just one more

All that you want
The one and only thing you need
Silly silly me
Imagining sometimes
Stars are aligned
And you could be all mine
Silly me

Oh you love to say that I think too much
As we're heading who knows where
With every moment, every breath each touch
Oh, you pulled me in and now you're dragging me under
But I just don't care

Because Silly silly me
I'm still hopin' I can be
All that you want
The one and only thing you need
Silly silly me
Imagining sometimes
Stars are aligned
And you could be all mine
Silly me

Oh you do what you do
But you don't hide the truth
So no, you're not such a bad one
Such a beautiful boy...
You just want every girl...
To have some

But Silly silly me
I'm here hopin' I can be
All that you want
The one and only thing you need
Silly silly me
Imagining sometimes
Stars are aligned
And you could be all mine

Makes me wonder why I'm here

But your demons just dig in their heels
You so love to lose yourself in fear

But are you Happy Now
Are you happy now
So you've talked yourself into believing the world's just one dark cloud
Are you happy now

You're so good at being miserable
And it's contagious too
Your doubts could dim the brightest light
When you say I'm just naive and the truth is simply alluding me
I wanta scream, I give up, you're right, you're right

So are you happy now
Are you happy now
Are you happy now I'm finally underneath that same dark cloud
Are you happy now

I can't be your therapy
Got to go now, time to take care of me

So are you happy now
Are you happy now
Are you happy now I'm gone, there's an excuse for your dark cloud
Are you happy now

You should be happy now, finally an excuse for your dark cloud
Are you happy now

I'm sleepy
But the answer's yes
Mmm, can't resist your breath
On my neck like that
Just gotta love you back

I'm greedy
Once we're on our way
Oh, every note you play
I feel so understood
Can't get enough though
Boy, you love me so good

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

We snuggle
In a golden haze
Darn alarm wants to start the day
Grown-up things to do
But I stay wrapped around you

You mumble
That you can't be late
Something about a silly meeting at eight
I just hear blah, blah, blah
I need some more now
Gimmy, gimmy boy, come on

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

I'm sorry
Well okay, maybe not THAT sorry
But tomorrow morning I promise I'll be good
And no sweetie,
I don't love you for JUST your body
Oh, but you're so yummy boy, I think I could!

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

And yes, I DO know that "wanderlust" means love of travel, yet I made up my own "wonder-lust" You figure it out... ;)

(1st Verse)
You know that song I wrote
About my heart
Being stuck on stupid things
A stupid boy used to do
Well, it's not about you

Wouldn't waste my energy
On silly used to be's
Like how you nibbled on my ear
God it's been three years
Face it I've moved on without you

(1st Chorus)
Okay I lied
Yeah that song is you
Okay I lied
I'm miserable not even close to being through
I think all this honesty
Is gonna be the death of me
Oh, I hope you're satisfied
Okay I lied

(2nd Verse)
So what, maybe sometimes
You still cross my mind
Don't make too much of it
You're still so full of
Quit thinking it's all about you

For the record there's a new someone
And he's way more fun
And did I mention that he's hot
I'm not saying you're not
But baby he runs circles around you

(Chorus)
Okay I lied
He's everything but you
Okay I lied
I'm miserable not even close to being through
I think all this honesty
Is gonna be the death of me
Oh, I hope you're satisfied
Okay I lied

(Bridge)
It's not like I'd give in to being more than friends
Aint nothing you can do
To make me fall for you again
So baby this is where our story ends
(Sigh.....)

(Last Chorus)
Okay I lied
Yeah I'd come back to you
Okay I lied
I'm miserable not even close to being through
I think all this honesty
Is gonna be the death of me
Oh I hope you're satisfied
Okay I lied

©2008 Music and Lyrics by Mary Coppin

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

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

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
We sang along so loud
But those dreams are far gone now

Took me a long, long time
Not to miss you so much
And I can still have days
When I'm not quite okay
But I do know
My love was not enough
So things are best just left this way


Yeah, 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

I roll outta bed
Write down the words to a song from a a dream
Still rolling round my head
Another sweet day dawns
Well, actually, it's the break of noon
So baby, gonna wake you soon
got some kisses for your eyelids
I feel a lovin' comin' on

It's the secret that the world is after
Music, making love, and laughter
Makes every day a sweet day.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...
Life is good, life is good
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, baby
Love feels like it should
Life is Good
La, la, la, la, la life is good.

(in progress) ©2008 Music and Lyrics by Mary Coppin

I wore you like my winter jacked
A curtain from the cold
Wrapped us in this perfect package
We couldn't help out grow

So all the anger you denied
Ate up the oxygen
Now Resentments turn to lies
And their blocking out the sun

So where do we go from here
Now the atmosphere
It's so dark and the world doesn't feel the same
Where do we go from here
Not a think seems clear
Even the air in the universe has changed

And part of me just wants to die, here and now
And part of longs to try
But I don't know if I know how


Where do we go from here
Now the atmosphere
It's so dark and the world doesn't feel the same
Where do we go from here
Not a think seems clear
Even the air in the universe has changed

Even if we do outrun this blast
Can we outrun the fall out.....

Where do we go from here
Now the atmosphere
It's so dark and the world doesn't feel the same
Where do we go from here
Not a think seems clear
Even the air in the universe has changed

I used to second guess
Every single step
Over analyzed until my feet were afraid to move
Oh but I'm movin' now
And yeah, sometimes I fall down
But I'm back up so fast I put holes in the soles of my shoes

Oh it's kinda funny
The things we do trying to stay safe
Can just waste
Our time
I'm finally in the running
Living a life that's mine, all mine
It's all mine

I used to sacrifice
Thought it made me nice
Standing there with two ends of a smile with no me in between
No one ever made me
It was just my own brand of crazy
But God finally saved me and showed me what real love means

Oh it's kinda funny
The things we do trying to stay safe
Can just waste
Our time
I'm finally in the running
Living a life that's mine, all mine
It's all mine

Ice cold rain drops
Been hitting the side walk tonight
Worrying, scurrying,
Everyone's gone hurrying inside

But me and you
Stay happy and warm
Here under love's umbrella
Yeah we make it through
The crankiest storm
We make the rain so jealous
Uh, huh
Cuz there's just no getting us wet

Most days are sunny
But sometimes the money
Can still run out
We just cuddle up close
Cuz baby we know
All the good, good things life is all about

Oh me and you
Stay happy and warm
Here under love's umbrella
Yeah we make it through
The crankiest storm
We make the rain so jealous
Uh, huh
Cuz there's just no getting us wet

I'm searching for some answers here
And you sound like a bar stool prophet
So maybe you can set me clear
Where I went wrong, just when I lost it, lost it

He was 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

Thank you, yeah I'll have a beer
This bar feels like a damn good bandaid
The man I love was just smoke and mirrors
But I fell so fast I drank the Koolaid, Koolaid

He was 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

I'm up late watching TV
Bet you're watching TV too
Baby I still think of you
Most every single day

Friends say you've been calling
Crying, you're still missing me
And how we match so perfectly
Most every single way

I guess you just forget the part
Where you broke my heart in two
Memories do funny things
Rewriting the truth
Sweet forgetful you

There Goes another potato head
Talking politics on the TV
I think my brain is full
Give me that darned remote
I need to see
Something sweet

Now I Love Lucy's got some 'splainin' to do
Cracks us up, oh it's so me and you
I'm such a brat you say
Cuz I can cute my way
Out of anything
I don't know what you mean

But baby I love playing with you
My all time favorite Sunday afternoon thing to do
And baby I love the way you play with me too
Baby I love playing with you

Come on now sofa boy lets go for a ride
Not that, you know I meant on our bikes
I'll race you to the beach
Okay if you win me
You're the man
Catch me if you can

Baby I love playing with you
My all time favorite Sunday afternoon thing to do
And baby I love the way you play with me too
Baby I love playing with you

Mrs Thermopolis hasn't been gardening much these days
Riding a Harley and sporting a brand new tattoo
Her son, he's so upset "come on Mom a grandchild is on the way"
Back to the garden stop dating the pool-boy Raul

She says You
You're not the boss of me
You
You can't tell me what to do
No no

Once Upon A Time (The End)
Once Upon A Time (The End)
Once Upon A Time
(c)2008 Mary Coppin

Once upon a time
We were magic
Once upon a time
We shined like gold

And all who knew us, how they loved to say
They only wished they were loved that way
Blessed by destiny
A love so meant to be
No one dreamed we'd ever see
The end

Once upon a Time
You loved me
Now your body
Sleeps here in my bed

But your spirit keeps tossing, turns away
I can feel it, oh you're leavin' me more each day
You say nothing's wrong
But something's going on
The silence moves us along
Toward the end

Can you feel it
Disappointment
Carving a canyon
Can you feel it
Resentment
Draining the well

Once upon a time
I loved you
Damn, you silly man
Everybody knows I love you still

But I'm weary of trying to get you in the game
And you clearly aren't feeling the same
I've tried, tried, and tried
But I'm finally out of fight
Goodbye
The End

Can you feel it
Disappointment
Carving a canyon
Can you feel it
Resentment
Draining the well

Once upon a time
We were magic

Coming very soon hopefully, garage band versions, (thanks buddy, Warren Kaneao).
For now, here are the lyrics, at this moment anyway. I'm literally tweaking daily.
And even more songs are coming that I am working on this week (some even this morning). I'm in a bit of a Renaissance, writing/playing sometimes 8 plus hours a day (yes Dr Darren and Dr Jesse, I'm stretching my hands and sometimes icing). I'm really happy with how the songs are flowing these days. Tying up loose ends on older songs and new ones that I plan on pitching.
And yeah, a new CD is definitely on the way. Deciding on producers. I want to use multiple producers.
Hope you enjoy the lyrics.
P.S. Yeah, I know some of the other newest songs have been "now you see it, now you don't" here. Sorry about that. Email me for new songs not listed that you might have heard me just play. I'll send you the latest lyrics and new recordings too :). Before the CD is out. marycoppin@gmail.com
