The Shark and the Mermaid

Without a moments hesitation
They threw caution to the wind.
He though, she must be blind not to see
He was no Prince Charming, no beauty.
She held flowers at her fingertips,
And honey fell from her lips,
He dived, into the oceans wild
As she swam in the morning mist…

He said, if it’s mine it will be, always yours.
Cast away any doubt and open up those doors…
It was the

Shark and the Mermaid
Falling in love again
It was the shark and the mermaid
Marking love again
It was the shark and the mermaid
Falling in love again

As they grow in mind and body,
And the days turned into years.
He thought one day she might go away,
But her love overshadowed his fears.
Under the liquid sky,
Where they lived they were legends to behold.
Fate distracted by their simple charms,
Left them there to love alone.

Now the angels wait patiently,
in the shadows down below,
They stop and smile because…

It’s the Shark and the Mermaid
Falling in love again
It was the shark and the mermaid
Marking love again
It was the shark and the mermaid
Falling in love again

Nobody thought that the love would last
Everybody looked and everybody laughed
but the Mermaid and the Shark they just slipped away
Nothing stopped them no one got in their way
Standing together as lovers and friends.
They stayed together their love knew no end,
Proving everyone wrong, they grew together
They were strong.
Everybody was wrong.
About the… Shark and the Mermaid

It’s the Shark and the Mermaid
Falling in love again
It was the shark and the mermaid
Marking love again
It was the shark and the mermaid
Falling in love again

You Send Me Flying

I don’t want to make a habit of this
but seeing you is like getting a fix
Every time I kid myself, I’ll never do it again
Definition of love on a cliff
A lemming has no alternative
I want to die in your arms,
That’s my suicide wish

It’s only 13 hours till I leave the ground
And I may never come down again
So will you meet me there on a ride somewhere
Just turn left at the sun, before it sets
Let’s go naked, would you dare?

You, you, send me flying, you send me flying
You send me flying, knocking me over,
You, you send me flying, you send me flying,
You send me flying, flying
Over the moon for joy.

I don’t want to make a fool of myself,
Especially since you’re with someone else,
Outwardly demure I would die for you,
Will you forgive my inclination to tell,
I throw my wishes down your wishing well,
I want you now, in a non too subtle way,
Do you want me too?
So will you meet me there, on a ride some-where,
Just go right at the moon, before it moves
Lets go naked, would you dare?

You, you, send me flying, you send me flying
You send me flying, knocking me over,
You, you send me flying, you send me flying,
You send me flying, flying
Over the moon for joy.

You send me flying,
You send me flying,
You send me flying

You, you, send me flying, you send me flying
You send me flying, knocking me over,
You, you send me flying, you send me flying,
You send me flying, flying over the moon
for joy.

Definition of love on a cliff,
A lemming has no alternative,
I want to die in your arms, that’s my suicide
wish…

Dreaming, but I’m not sleeping
Or have I died, died of life
Swimming as I’m sinking
I’m holding onto letting go, Yeah

Oh, how does it feel
Making love to me like you do

The woman in me, would you like to be
Under my skin

I wanna know what you’re feeling
I wanna crawl under your skin
I wanna know how you feel in me

Naked, oh I like you naked
And when I fake it, you like me more
Exploring, the taste I’m touching
I know you’re watching, I’m watching too, Yeah

You Can Let Go

Wind blowin’ on my face
Sidewalk flyin’ beneath my bike
A five year-old’s first taste
Of what freedom’s really like
He was runnin’ right beside me
His hand holdin’ on the seat
I took a deep breath and hollered
As I headed for the street

You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I’m ready
To do this on my own
It’s still a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I’ll be ok now, Daddy
You can let go

I was standin’ at the altar
Between the two loves of my life
To one I’ve been a daughter
To one I soon would be a wife
When the preacher asked,
‘Who gives this woman?’
Daddy’s eyes filled up with tears
He kept holdin’ tightly to my arm
‘Till I whispered in his ear

You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I’m ready
To do this on my own
It still feels a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I’ll be ok now, Daddy
You can let go

It was killin’ me to see
The strongest man I ever knew
Wastin’ away to nothin’
In that hospital room
‘You know he’s only hangin’ on for you’
That’s what the night nurse said
My voice and heart were breakin’
As I crawled up in his bed, and said

You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Your little girl is ready
To do this on my own
It’s gonna be a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I’ll be ok now, Daddy
You can let go
You can let go

I think about her all the time
She’s my fantasy
An image burnin’ in my mind
Callin’ out to me

While my imaginations runnin’ wild
Yeah things are getting clearer

This time everything is alright
No way she’s gonna get away
This time everything is easy
Any day I’m gonna make her mine

I’ve thought of every word I’d say
Give or take a few
But she turns and slowly walks away
What do I have to do

Hey turn up your radio
Oh there’s somethin’ I want you to know

This time everything is alright
No way she’s gonna get away
This time everything is easy
Any day I’m gonna make her mine

Well it’s hard to take cause she’s miles away
And I’ve waited a long time
But the feelings right and darlin’ one of these nights
Yeah I’m gonna let you know

This time everything is alright
No way she’s gonna get away
This time everything is easy
Any day I’m gonna make her mine

We All Fall Down

Album: America’s Sweetheart Original Soundtrack

I woke up this morning wondering if I slept any at all
I can’t quite remember a struggle so big
or ever feeling so small

it took all my strength just to get out of bed
as the ache in my heart went straight to my head

I just can’t keep my feet on the ground
I guess we all learn the hard way and we all fall down

Sometimes the answers dont’t fall from the sky
Sometimes they hurt too much to hear
and sometimes you sweep the truth under the rug
and deny when it reappears

I know there’s no use in running away
When it’s hard enough to stand up and say

That I can’t keep my feet on the ground
I guess we all learn the hard way and we all fall down

I wish I could find a road out of this place
Somehow I lost my way
I wanna show you a light in my eyes
and a smile up on my face

Maybe tomorrow is counting on me
To learn my lessons today
I’ll start by taking a step at a time
And stop throwing my blessings away

I’ll get myself up and I’ll brush myself off
And take back some of the pride that I’ve lost
‘Cause you can’t always keep your feet on the ground
I guess we all learn the hard way and we all fall down

I guess we all learn the hard way and we all fall down

Travelin’ Soldier

Two days past eighteen
He was waiting for the bus in his army green
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He’s a little shy so she gives him a smile
And he said would you mind sittin’ down for a while
And talking to me,
I’m feeling a little low
She said I’m off in an hour and I know where we can go

So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don’t care
I got no one to send a letter to
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you

I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin’ for the love of a travelin’ soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin’ for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier’s coming home

So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he told her of his heart
It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of
He said when it’s getting kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin’ down at the pier
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
Don’t worry but I won’t be able to write for awhile

One Friday night at a football game
The Lord’s Prayer said and the Anthem sang
A man said folks would you bow your heads
For a list of local Vietnam dead
Crying all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
And one name read and nobody really cared
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
