Lyrics by David Cripps

Why can’t we be like that

Genres: Pop

I see lovers in the park
People holding hands before it’s dark
I see us like that,Why can’t we be like that 
I see smiles that say I want to be with you every day
I see us like that, why can’t we be like that

Chorus
We found one another when we were not free
I love you like you love me
But to own up would cause too much pain
And we could never see one another again

I see couples alone
Or talking on the phone
I see us like that, why can’t we be like that
I see plans being made ,if only we could plan are escape
What a life we could make,what a life we could make

Chorus

Again

Looking in your eyes
The pain you can’t disguise
Will love always be like this ,always be like this
And can we keep are feelings at bay
So many things I want to say



Repeat first verse

Chorus

Why can’t we be like that,
 why can’t we be like that

Here I stay

Genres: Country, Jazz, Oldies, Pop

Do you blame me for all that has gone on
I was weak when I needed to be strong
Tell you the truth I feel like running away
But here I stay

You tell me we are wrong
And every days like a old country song
You tell me to go every day
But here I stay

Chorus
Here I stay, there’s no where I would rather be
There could never be anyone else for me ,for me

We fight over silly things
But not all the time and that’s worth every thing
I wouldn’t want you in any other way
And that’s why here I stay ,here I stay

Music piano

Repeat first verse

Repeat second verse

Chorus

Here I stay
Here I stay
Here I stay

Getting carried away

Genres: Pop

I don’t know what to say
I feel I have been hit by a train
Pulled my feet under me 
I will never be the same

Try as I might ,I can’t resist
Iv tried but not to hard ,I’m willing to take the risk

Chorus
I hope you stay
But I suppose I’m getting carried away

Short music

How can you be interested in me
Am I novelty something new
Maybe I’m putting myself down
Trying to keep my feet on the ground

Chorus
Chorus

Same short music

I know I’m insecure
What if you don’t want meany more
But if that happens oh well
Iv enjoyed every moment under your spell


Repeat second verse

Chorus

Chorus

Same short music

Fade
