Home Depot Girl
Every single weekend there’s something new
That he finds around the house to do
Maybe in the workshop, out in the yard
He’s got all the tools, nothing’s too hard
But there’s one person that he’s got to see
To make sure he’s got everything that he needs... yeah!
It’s that girl at Home Depot
She's always there every time he goes
She’s so helpful and looks pretty fine
Her friendly advice always makes his work shine
Lately he’s finding more things to do
Go’n for some sheet rock or a bottle of glue
Maybe a new hammer, his other one’s old
That Home Depot bill’s get’n out of control
‘Cause those aren’t the things he really needs
I think he’s really going ‘cause he wants to see…
you guessed it.
Now something’s changed in him I know
And something’s go’n on at Home Depot
He's got her number when he comes in
Cause he knows that she’s got the answer for him
Now after her shift, he’s picking her up
That Home Depot girl’s go’n home in his truck!
He’s in love with the girl at Home Depot
She’s always with him every time that goes
He’s gonna get her help the rest of his life
That Home Depot girl’s gonna be his wife
Like Me
The first time she said it, I did a double-take
‘Cause I already liked her, must have been a mistake
She said it again to another friend standing next to me
Something ‘bout a book of friends she likes,
makes no sense to me
She said, Like me… Don’t forget to now
She said, Like me… Do you even know how?
Just get on-line, Like me now, and as soon as you do
I’ll see that you like me, then I’ll reply, that I like you too!
The other day my friend said, the strangest thing to me.
He’d been my life long buddy, known him since I was three
He said it again I just scratched my chin,
with eyes rolled to the sky
Talk’n ‘bout his on-line faces and friends…
what’s wrong with this guy
He said, Friend me… Don’t forget to now!
He said, Friend me… Do you even know how?
Just get on-line, Friend me now… and as soon as you do
I’ll see that you Friend me then I’ll reply, and I’ll Friend you too!
With anti-virus cyber wars and virtual reality
Now my face is in their book where all my friends can follow me
Like me… c’mon, don’t forget to now
Like me… Do you even know how?
Just get on-line, Like me now, And as soon as you do
I’ll see that you Like me, then I’ll reply, that I like you too!
Just get on-line, Friend me now… and as soon as you do
I’ll see that you Friend me then I’ll reply, and I’ll Friend you too!
Familiar Stranger
How could I have known when she walked into my life
Her eyes only reflected the image of a happy wife
But the music and the wine, only serve to fade the truth
And it wasn’t long before I forgot about you
Now when I look into the mirror
My heart is filled with dread and danger
Cause I’m looking in the eyes of a once…
familiar stranger
Forbidden love so appealing, exciting, thrilling, new
She sparkled like diamonds, like silver I hoped I’d shine through
The person I once knew is, forgotten nearly gone
And I feel the image slipping, knowing I can’t hold on long
Now when I look into the mirror
My heart is filled with dread and danger
Cause I’m looking in the eyes of a once…
familiar stranger
Now when I look into the mirror
My heart is filled with dread and danger
Cause I’m looking in the eyes of a once…
familiar stranger
Right now I’m looking in the eyes of a once…
familiar stranger
Give Love Away
Stood on the sidelines, day by day
Life passed me by, the clock ticked away
The answer was simple, but I was paralyzed
So I sat up, stood up, and then I realized, that…
Now, it’s time to live. Now, it’s time to play
Now, it’s time to give - Give love away, yea
I looked in the window, all the happy people
I was invisible, I wasn’t even there
The answer was simple, why should I even care
I did not, belong there, so…
Taking the field now, stepping inside
Living each day, with time on my side
The answer so simple, only to decide
To love and live, and get myself out in the light
Now, it’s time to live. Now, it’s time to play
Now, it’s time to give - Give love away, yea
Now, it’s time to give - Give love away, yea
Pick Your Heart’s Desire
What do you want? What is your wish?
Come now don’t be shy, to ask or fear to try
What, what can you see? Dare, dare to believe
All within your reach. Or did you fall asleep?
Pick Your Heart’s Desire,
do it right now don’t you wait another minute
Pick Your Heart’s Desire,
don’t let anyone try to talk you out of it
Pick Your Heart’s Desire,
don’t let your dreams slip by before you know it
Nothing stops you now if you choose.
You’ve got nothing to lose.
Anything near or far you seek. It’s all within your reach.
Don’t believe a lie, When there’s so much more.
What ‘ya waiting for? Deep down in your sweet heart
Now won’t you be true? In all that you do
I believe in you, it’s now all yours to choose
~ Lyrics ~

Welcome to the website of
There is a Place
These are the times of expectation,
when there’s something new in the air
I know these are troubled times,
but I don’t seem to care
These are the days of exploration,
looking in and finding out
I know the things you can change
but still I don’t know how
And there is a place, somewhere in your heart
It’s deep in space, yet not very far
And it’s nowhere that I can describe
No need to care, there’s no need to hide
It’s everywhere and that’s the reason why
It’s a difficult situation,
when you over think it all
If you get stuck just
raise your hand and make call
Life is full of anticipation,
after now what will be next?
The future is more than ours to see
I must confess
All the Love you need is right in plain sight
But has been hidden
By those who would steal your birthright
It’s already yours just breathe!
And there is a place, somewhere in your heart
It’s deep in space, yet not very far
And it’s nowhere that I can describe
No need to care – I’m not gonna hide
It’s everywhere and that’s the reason why
You Lift Me Up
When I’m far away from you,
and there’s nothing I can do
There’s a place that I turn to,
picks me up when I feel blue
When I’ve been gone for a while,
I just think about your smile
When I’m in another place,
close my eyes and see your face
And you lift me up, just thinking of you
Our love is enough, to see us through
So tonight I’ll dream of you,
when this long hard day is through
Even when we’re far apart,
your love is in my heart
And especially when I’m gone,
I will never never do you wrong
My promise good as gold,
when we’re young when we’re old
And you lift me up, thinking of you
Our love is enough, to see us through
So I’m gonna dream of you,
when this long hard day is through
And even when we’re far apart,
your love is in my heart
And you lift me up, thinking of you
Our love is enough, to see us through
Our love is enough, To see us through
The Last Dance
When I saw you sitting over there,
I never thought I’d have a chance
But I walked right up next to you,
what the heck, asked you to dance
Then to my delight you stood up,
walked me out onto the floor
And the music played while everyone swayed,
and I hoped this would not be my…
Last Dance – So glad that I got the chance
The Last Dance, oh my!
It was getting late, you looked at me;
that smile put me in a trance
So I took your hand and led you out,
as I asked for that last dance
I held you close, I held you tight,
your head soft against my chest
Ran my hand through your hair and knew right there,
I didn’t want this to be our
Last Dance, what a crazy circumstance. Last Dance.
The Last Dance, will there be another chance.
Last Dance, oh my
I walked you to your car,
and with a kiss goodnight,
You said you lived so far away,
but I still sing about it today
The Last Dance, The Last Dance,
The Last Dance, The Last Dance, oh my
