Your Eyes (from the 2008 Prom Night Soundtrack)
beautiful girl
with the beautiful smile
i can’t help but stare at you baby
please don’t pass by
won’t you stay for a while
there’s so much that i wanna say to you
and when i’m lonely
and i’m by myself
when i need a little help
to make it through
all i need to see is
your eyes
are more than beautiful baby
your eyes
are a window to my soul
baby
tell me your dreams
tell me your fears
are you scared love won’t last through the years, girl?
it’s not what it seems
i’ve been there before
there’s so much that i wanna say to you
and when you’re lonely
and your by yourself
when you need a little help
to make it through
just remember what i saw in
your eyes
they’re more than beautiful baby
your eyes
are a window to my soul
shoulder length hair
such a beautiful girl
i can’t help but stare at you baby
a beautiful smile
won’t you stay for a while
there’s so much that i wanna say to you
and when i’m lonely
and i’m by myself
when i need a little help
to make it through
all i need is
your eyes
are more than beautiful baby
your eyes
are a window to my soul
i see my hopes and my dreams
when i look in your eyes
in your eyes
in your eyes
your eyes
White Blip on my Radar Screen
Verse 1
I’m pleased to know you though I never know what you’re gonna say
On any given day, you’re a clown, you’re a thief
Borrowing sheets of loose leaf
So you can write down your thoughts, or maybe finish that screenplay
Chorus
You’re that white blip on my radar screen
And everybody thinks you’re the perfect dream
And you come in and out of my life
And I never know where you are
That white blip on my radar screen
And you’re only happy when you have a new routine
And you come in and out of my life
Like a Hollywood movie star
Verse 2
Diagnosed with ADHD when you were fourteen
You became a self-proclaimed drama queen
You know they say time waits for no man
But she surely waits for you—well at least I do
I don’t know why, I guess it’s because….
Chorus
Verse 3
So there you go again checking yourself out
The mirror never had a better friend
And what am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to smile for you?
Or maybe I’ll just lie to myself for you once again…
Chorus
Bridge
Look at me, I’m alone tonight
Once again I’ll wait and see
If you’ll come home to me
Chorus (Fade Out)
What Will I Do
Verse 1
Four o’clock in the mornin’
And I can’t wait for love any longer
The sun’s almost up
She’s rising like my hope
Pre-Chorus 1
Something tells me
There’s a change in the wind
And if I’m right and then I’m wrong again
Chorus
What will I do
When I see the truth?
What will I do when it’s clear to me
Whatever the truth may be?
What will I do when I
Look into your eyes?
What will I do
When I see you again?
Verse 2
Follow intuition
It’s gotten me this far
Though some of my friends say
Are you sure you don’t wanna walk away
Pre-Chorus 2
Something tells me
There’s a change in the wind
And if they’re right and then I’m wrong again
Chorus
Bridge
Only love can take away the pain
Only if you let it
And only love can make you heal again
Only if you let it….
Chorus (Fade Out)
Missing U 2 Long
Verse 1
Drivin’ my car down this old street again
Don’t know where I’m going or where I’ve been…for so long
Should I go or should I stay and fall
Do you ever think of me at all
When you’re alone?
Chorus
But I don’t wanna miss you in the morning
I wanna watch the sun rise in your eyes
I don’t wanna miss you in the evening
Dreams without you by my side…are wrong
Baby I don’t wanna be missing you too long….
Verse 2
Ain’t no use tryin’ to pretend we’re not together
Baby don’t you want me to stay
In a sense this is the way we’ve played forever
A beautiful game of tag for two
Chorus
Bridge
Don’t wanna miss this chance
Don’t wanna throw away this fine romance
There’s nothing I’d rather do
Then spend all my time being with you
And there’s no one I’d rather love
Than you….
Baby I don’t wanna be missing you too long
Chorus (Fade out)
Victim of Ur Love
Chorus
I wish I was a victim of your love
That would be so nice
I’d give most anything if you could see
You wouldn’t have to ask me twice
To be a victim of your love
Verse 1
Only yesterday, I came across your name
I wrote it in my book
It seems I wrote your name
Over and over and over and over
It kind of made me ashamed
What a simple gesture of my love
What could I been thinking of
I’m just a friend to you
But still I…
Chorus
Verse 2
So here you come again
Talking ‘bout some friend
Someone you think may like you
The irony is cruel, but nonetheless it’s true
I’m just a friend to you
But still I…
Chorus 2x
Bridge
Though I don’t wanna be a plaything
Just another love that you throw away
After a day or two or three—four at the most
Baby I’m lost for you
And if I had the chance, I’d take it everytime
Even if it meant I was just another victim
Just another victim
Just another victim of your love….
Chorus (Fade Out)
She
Verse 1
She’s at it again
Holding on by a thread
She’s carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders
She’s giving a smile
To everyone that she sees
She’s holding the hand of somebody who loves her
She…
Chorus
She’s a giver of love asks nothing in return
She’s a giver of hope someone you can learn from
She’s a fighter who never ever gives up
An inspiration to us all
She’s…
Verse 2
Calling a friend
Giving her hope and her strength
She’d give all that she has to make someone feel better
Chorus
Rap
Yo, check it
I remember being at the mall
When your twin, V, got the call
And I watched Ma drop her jaw
Saw tears in her optical
Next scene at the hospital
Jace, the queen, on life support
Heart racing, pacing halls
Couldn’t even talk at all
And nerves were raw
You still smirk and nod
Girl, your charm’s the work of God
You all that, Jace
Word is bond
Show cats how to stay strong
Stay storms
Put your game-face on
Type humor that erase the wrong
Think of this when your days are long
And remember what we say in this song
Chorus (Fade out)
All the Luv in the World
Verse 1
I don’t wanna wake up alone
I don’t wanna feel that empty space beside me
All I wanna do
Is lie here beside you baby
But if you should happen to leave
Don’t leave without kissing me goodnight
All I wanna do
Is be with you…
Chorus
Don’t wanna have all the love in the world
With nobody caring
Don’t wanna have all the love in the world
With nobody sharing
Don’t wanna have all the love in the world
With nobody knowing
Don’t want all the love in the world
Without you loving me
Verse 2
Now there was a time when I knew
That maybe I’d fallen way too soon
I was always blind
Until I met you
And now that I have you alone
There’s something I’ve wanted to say for so long
Your love’s what sustains me…ooooh
Chorus
Bridge
Ah, baby no no
I don’t want all the love
Without you, without you
Baby tell me you’re the one for me
For the rest of my life
Baby tell me you’re the one I’ll see
When I wake up late at night
Baby tell me you’re the one I’ll be with
For the rest of my life
Chorus (Fade Out)
Baby (I’m a Better Man)
Baby, I keep cryin’ about you all night long
Ooh baby, and I’m wonderin’ when it’s all gonna end
And lately, I keep wonderin’ if I can go on without you baby
And I’m wonderin’ if we can just be friends
Is it too much to expect you and me
To move on without regret?
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see
Baby, I seem to remember something you said to me
Ooh baby, and it had to do with love
You said maybe, if we had met in another time and place
Ooh baby, we wouldn’t be given up
Was it too much to believe you and me
Could have found love so true so easily?
Ooh baby, I’ll only take the good times with me, ooh baby
And I hope you do the same thing too
For you once saved me
And it’s a debt I can’t ever begin to repay
Baby, and all I ever wanted to do…
Was to thank you for loving me
I’m a better man for knowin’ you
Cause now there’s love in me
All of My Love
All of my time baby
I’m a better man (fade out)
Crayons
Verse 1
Brown, like the color of your eyes
It should come as no surprise
That I only wanna be with you
Like there was only one true Navy Blue
In my box of crayons
Chorus
Verse 2
Blue, like the color of the noon sky
Reflected in your eyes
As I’m leaning over you
The orange sky turns into a starry night
And the silvery moon takes the place of a yellow sun
Chorus
Bridge
My box of crayons was my very best friend
And I certainly shared them with all the kids back then
But I never ever wanted those days to end
But then she came along and I said
You can sure use my crayons if you want to
I said you can sure use my crayons if you want to
Verse 3
Oh yes and green was the choice color of the kindergarten scene
When I got my very first box of crayons
And Wanda was my very first girlfriend and we said we’d stay together ‘til the very, very end, but then she met Ben and I lost my best friend
But I still had my very first box of crayons
Chorus
Vamp
Of course there was magenta
Burnt siena
Mahogany and Olive Green
And I remember melon, maroon, and maize
But then I saw her pretty face
And the bittersweet color….of love
Yes the bittersweet color….of love
Even though the colors change, some things always stay the same (repeat)
Chorus (Fade Out)
Lady Love
Verse 1
Lady love, where do you come from?
Is it smiling time again?
Lady love, why do your eyes shine
‘Neath the color purple sky of night?
Chorus
Cause when you fall before the rain falls
Sometimes you get caught wet on a sunny day
When you hear love’s calling out your name
Sometimes you’re left singing a sad refrain
Verse 2
Lady love, where have I seen you?
That look upon your face seems so familiar
Lady love, where are you going?
May I take your hand and walk with you through the years
Chorus
Vocal Trumpet Solo
Chorus
Bridge
Wasn’t it just yesterday you told me
You didn’t want to see my love again?
And I was wondering what you hadn’t told me
Cause all I ever wanted was to be your friend….
Chorus (Fade out)
Winter Eyes
Verse 1
Goin’ round, runnin’ on empty
She keeps her heart tucked away inside pages
Inside a book
She writes about the silent sounds
That lonely people hear
In the cool of the evening breeze
Chorus
See her winter eyes
See the winter in her eyes
The long shadowy night
Takes her by surprise
Leaving only misty eyes
Only misty eyes
Mysterious
Winter
Eyes
Verse 2
Didn’t ask her name
It’s no surprise
Cause nice guys never ask
We never do
All we do is sit and feel blue
And wonder
Why we finish last
I can still see her eyes
Instrumental Bridge
Chorus (Fade out)
Hopeless in Love
Verse 1
I keep holdin’ on to things
That I can’t hold on to anymore
Holdin’ on to things
Out of my hands
Lord knows I’ve tried
To move it along
And Lord knows I’ve cried
Far too long
Chorus
Cause I’m hopeless
In love
Hopeless in love
With you
Verse 2
The doctor told me take a walk in the park
Without you I seem to get lost
Where the streets have no names
I find myself
Hoping and prayin’
That things were still the same
Chorus
Verse 3
Sometimes I think about the things we said
And all the things left unspoken
Maybe if we had spoken the unspoken baby
I wouldn’t be here and you wouldn’t be over there
And I wouldn’t be talkin’ in circles
And a broken down man
Chorus (Fade Out)
One of the Forgotten
Verse 1
I hear the clock ticking in the dark
Finishing its countdown to the end of the night
And the door to my bedroom is slightly ajar
Allowing bits and pieces of the moon into my room
Pre-Chorus 1
I’ve come so far but still so far to go
And only I know the journey that I’ve made
And only I know the journey that I’ve yet to take
Verse 2
Well I’m almost out of time, at the end of my rope
And all I really want is to restore a little hope
And of all the people and all the places that I’ve ever been
She was the only one I cared to see again
Pre-Chorus 2
The words we spoke weigh heavy on my mind
And only I know the journey that I’ve made
And only I know the journey that I’ve yet to take
Chorus
Give me a little hope in the dreams of the little man
A little hope when it seems there is no more
A little hope in the lives of the forgotten
Oh but baby don’t forget me, I’m one of them
One of the forgotten
Verse 3
Well I finally recognize what I’ve been looking for
And it wasn’t what I thought it was
It was so much more than I bargained for
In the depths of my despair I came to realize what I lost
A love that I once knew became the remnants of this cross
Pre-Chorus 3
The cross we bear when we wait just a little too long
And only I know the journey that I’ve made
And only I know the journey that I’ve yet to take
Chorus (fade out)
Climb Your Mountains
Chorus 2x
Gotta climb your mountains
Gotta keep moving on now do it
Trials and tribulations fail to bring you down
Gotta keep holding on
Gotta climb your mountains now do it
Make your heaven or hell
Verse 1
Don’t be discouraged don’t hang your head down
Ya’ gotta keep movin’ on
Just rest your head on my shoulders and let me…
Let me carry you through
Chorus
Verse 2
You’ve fallen once before and that just made you stronger
Ya’ just kept movin’ on
Don’t lose your courage don’t be so scared
You gotta persevere
Chorus
I never told you ‘bout this story of mine
A man saved my life
He gave me somethin’ that money can’t buy
He gave me pride and courage
Chorus
Bridge
We make the simple choices
Such seeming simple choices
Chorus (Fade Out)
