Until You
STYLE: Jazz Vocal
THEME: When you came into my life, I came alive!
LYRICS:
Until you, skies were hazy,
Calm and cool ruled the air.
Lonely nights didn’t faze me,
Love was not my affair.
Until you, every morning
Seemed the same as the last.
Passion heeded my warning,
Love belonged to the past.
Then one day the wind blew in
And tossed you by.
One fine day the wind blew in
And you caught my eye.
Now I see the horizon,
Now my future is clear.
My heart rose like the bright sun
When I saw you appear.
Life was cloudy and gray
Until you took my breath away.

Can’t Seem To Find My Way
THEME: Looking for direction after breaking up.
STYLE: Slow ballad
LYRICS:
A dead-end street, that’s what I’m on,
Wearing a rut in the ground.
It’s clear I’m going nowhere fast
And need to turn myself around.
It’s not the first time and won’t be the last
I’ve had to start over again.
I’m sure I’ll regain my direction,
Just not so sure of how or when.
Sleepless past midnight,
Still up at dawn.
Swear by the first light,
Today’s the day I’m moving on.
Easy to say, but I
Can’t seem to find my way.
No point remaining,
She’s gone for good.
No use in hanging
Around the same old neighborhood.
Don’t mean to stay, but I
Can’t seem to find my way.
Like a leaf blown by the north wind,
More adrift than I imagined.
I’ve never been quite so lost
Before I lost her.
Friends say to get out,
Meet someone new.
Take the first step out
And walk on down the avenue.
Maybe someday, but I
Can’t seem to find my way.

SUMMARY
I still think of you sometimes even though time has passed.
STYLE
Jazz Ballad
LYRICS
Now and again,
I imagine your
Soft knock upon my door,
Just like it was before
You went your way.
Now and again,
A sudden spring promise
Fills the air,
Catching me unaware,
But it won’t stay.
The sky wasn’t the limit,
My heart took quite a fall.
One day, every wild dream fit,
Next day, nothing at all.
There was a time
I would find myself
Glancing round each room,
Thinking I might see you,
But that was then.
Still, I can’t help but look
Now and again.
