Can't Let Candy Go
03:14

I Can’t let Candy go
Candy, oh Candy
There’s things about me you don’t know
Candy, oh Candy
I think I gotta let you go
That’s what I practice in the mirror everyday
If I could only ever find the nerve to say
Candy, oh Candy
I only want what’s best for you
Candy, oh Candy
Don’t need more time to think it through
But if I told her it would only make her cry
Each time we kiss
I should be kissing her goodbye
I can’t let Candy go
No I can’t let Candy go
I lost the feeling and it’s starting to show
But I just can’t let her go
Someday, no Monday
I’m finally gonna do what’s right
I’d like to cut her loose on Thursday
But I need a date for Friday night
Don’t bother telling me cause I know that it’s wrong
But I can’t help it I just keep her hanging on
I can’t let Candy go
No I can’t let Candy go
My nerve is shrinking when I need it to grow
And I just can’t let her go
Well I know I should set her free
Cause she don’t mean the world to me
But I wouldn’t want to break her heart
And without her I will
But then sweet Candy comes and looks me in the eye
She says “I’m sorry but I found a better guy”
And I can’t let Candy go
No I can’t let Candy go
She doesn’t want to waste her time anymore
But I just can’t let her go
I can’t let Candy go

Behind A Rainbow
03:36
|

Girl we couldn’t be more different
Opposites in every way
I’m a guy who cuts his classes
You’re a girl who gets straight A’s
So your mom and dad wanna keep us apart
Don’t suppose I blame em but it’s
Making life so hard
Doesn’t make much sense on paper
I play poker, you play chess
All your friends play flutes and cellos
All my friends smoke cigarettes
Hard to find some time when
Nobody’s home
Got to find some quiet place
Where we can be alone
Maybe we’ll meet behind a rainbow
Maybe I’ll hold you under the stars
Girl, it’ll be our little secret
Feeling so good wherever we are
Hiding from your friends and neighbors
Seems like no one understands
Girl we’ll be in so much trouble
If they catch us holding hands
Driving us both crazy living like this
Duck inside a doorway just to steal a little kiss
Maybe we’ll meet behind a rainbow
We’ll sail away on the rays of the sun
Girl, it’ll be our little secret
Until the day we can tell everyone
Ba ba ba..
Maybe we’ll meet behind a rainbow
Maybe I’ll hold you under the stars
Girl, it’ll be our little secret
Feeling so good wherever we are
Behind a rainbow

Tell Me It's Over
03:36
|
|||
If you want me please give me a sign girl
If it’s over please don’t waste my time girl
If you’re already gone
Won’t you let me move on?
I’ve been waiting patiently for you girl
But something in your voice tells me we’re through girl
If you want me to go, I just gotta know
Baby, why can’t you tell me it’s over
Won’t you look at me in the eye
Why can’t you tell me it’s over
I’d rather know the truth
Than live a lie, oh baby, why?
If you stay with me we won’t look back, girl
But if you’re leaving my world will turn black girl
I’m beginning to see
You’ve been looking through me
Baby, why can’t you tell me it’s over
Every word you say is ‘goodbye’
Why can’t you tell me it’s over
I’d rather know the bitter truth
Than live a sugar-coated lie
Oh baby, why? Baby, why?
Baby, why? Oh baby, why?
If it’s over please don’t waste my time
Oh, why can’t you tell me it’s over
Won’t you look at me in the eye
Why can’t you tell me it’s over
I’d gotta know
Why can’t you tell me it’s over?
Why can’t you tell me it’s over?

Tracy's Party
02:08
|
|||
Thought I should drop you a line
And say I got outta hand
We met at Tracy’s party
With the big brass band
I was the guy who proposed
And spilled my heart on your sleeve
You were the girl who asked me to leave
But she doesn’t see
I’m really very shy and sweet
She’s in love with everyone but me
The beer was flowing like wine
And we were all having fun
I was just trying to unwind
Instead I came undone
I don’t remember too much
But if the pictures are true
I was the only one, in the pool
If she could only see
I’m really very cuddly
She’s in love with everyone but me
And the big brass band kept playing on
My head was spinning round
Everybody was dancing to the happy sound
Then I woke up all alone on the cold, hard ground
If she could only see
I wanna treat her tenderly
She’s in love with everyone but me
And the big brass band kept playing on
They made such a swingin’ sound
She wouldn’t dance with me once
The whole night long
But if she ever wants to call
I’ll be waiting ‘round.

Solitude Saturday
03:13
|
|||
A cloud covered sky, birds flying high
All alone I sit and wonder why.
Shade of a tree, feels wintry to me
Sunlight is a distant memory.
My thoughts meander away
Where I once remember the way our love was
Solitude Saturday
Waiting for you in the park
Waiting till dark
Looking back on the day I let you into my heart,
Into my heart
Leaves they will fall In spite of it all
This lonely feeling hush as I recall
The red of summer turns blue
Could time have colored my view, I wonder
Solitude Saturday
Waiting for you in the park
Waiting till dark
Looking back on the day I let you into my heart,
Into my heart

Now It's All This
02:37
|
|||
From the moment that I saw you
Till our first official kiss
I have really fallen for you
And now it’s all this
When we both first said ‘I love you’
I had never known such bliss
Oh, I can’t stop thinking of you
Now it’s all this
Funny how love songs promise rainbows
And sunshine guaranteed
Real life kisses turn to contracts
And passion turns to mouths we have to feed
One day when we’re much older
I will surely reminisce
‘Bout the day that I fell for ya
Now it’s all this
Ain’t it funny how love songs promise rainbows
And sunshine guaranteed
Real life kisses turn to contracts
And passion turns to mouths we have to feed
Now it breaks my heart just thinking
Of all the things I might have missed
If I’d never fallen for ya, that would be that
Now it’s all this
Oh yeah

Genevieve (Unplugged)

I knew this day was bound to come
You’re saying that you should be moving on
Nothing I could say is gonna make you stay I know
I see you stole that photograph
The one where you were trying to make me laugh
You were so much fun
I’m gonna miss the times we had
Genevieve
Please don’t leave me now
Genevieve
I’ll miss you
I guess the world caught up to you
So many things you said you still needed to do
I hope you find your dreams before they get away from you
Genevieve
Please don’t leave me now
Genevieve
I’ll miss you
So many nights we couldn’t let go
It felt so right you even said so
Nothing I could say is gonna make you stay
I know
Genevieve
Please don’t leave me now
Genevieve
I’ll miss you
Genevieve, yeah
I knew this day was bound to come

As far as yesterday goes
I’m really sorry for causing you pain
As far as anyone knows
You left before me, no need to explain
It didn’t work out like we hoped it would
I said some things that weren’t so good
And you may still regret the path you chose
As far as yesterday goes
Won’t you forgive me for losing my head?
You came a little too close
Brought back bad memories
Awakened the dead
Like one too many mornings after too much wine
We had ourselves a few good times
But did the high make up for all the lows
I don’t know
But your secrets are safe with me
Locked away forever in my memory
As real as you’ll ever be
Sad, I suppose, but
That’s as far as yesterday goes
It didn’t work out like we hoped it would
I said some things that weren’t so good
And you’ll still come out smelling like a rose
Like a rose
But your secrets are safe with me
I’ll never say a word about what used to be
Agreeing to disagree
One too many lows brought things to a close
But your secrets are safe with me
Locked away forever in my memory
As real as you’ll ever be
It’s sad I suppose
But, that’s as far as yesterday goes

Picture (Unplugged)
04:05
|

I saw a picture of you just the other day
I don’t know where it came from
You were smiling as you looked the other way
It was summer or autumn
I saw a picture of you just the other day
I don’t know where it came from
Thought of all the things I never got to say
I had words but I lost em
And though it seems like only yesterday
You stood beside that wall
The world has changed in almost every way
You haven’t changed at all
You haven’t changed at all
I heard a tape of all the songs we used to play
I don’t know where it came from
Thought of everything we almost gave away
We won some and we lost some
I know we still got lots of things to see
And places left to go
But in the end we’re left with memories
And things we’ll never know
The things we’ll never know
I found a letter that you sent me long ago
Still can’t read your writing
You said you didn’t know if you’d be coming home
Guess you’re still deciding
And when I phone you every other day
You don’t return my call
I know we said all that we need to say
We haven’t changed at all
We haven’t changed at all
I saw a picture of you just the other day
I don’t know where it came from
Thought of all the things I never got to say
I had words but I lost em
It was summer or autumn

I used to think I was so hard to read
But now I know my heart was right here on my sleeve
Everyone can tell by the way I look at her
All the times that I denied it
Now there's no point in trying to hide it
It's no secret that I care
It's no lie I'm always there
If I asked her back she would
Turn away from me for good
You can tell her that I'm lonely
And she's the one that I'm dreaming of
It's no secret who I love
It's not that I'm ashamed or that I feel unsure
Just that I can't forget I lost her once before
But I've got this smile even tears can't wash away
Every moment I stand near her
My intentions just get clearer
It's no secret that I care
It's no lie I'm always there
If I asked her back she would
Turn away from me for good
You can tell her that I'm lonely
Tell her she’s the one I'm thinking of
It's no secret who I love
It's no secret that I care
It's no lie I'm always there
If I asked her back she would
Walk away from me for good
Won't you tell her that I'm really lonely
Tell her she's the one I'm thinking of
Oh, it's no secret
It's no secret who I love
Who I love
