Just when I thought I had it figured out 

Just when I knew I had no more doubts

Just when I knew I needed nobody else in my life  

She came walking up to the bar that night    

Shining just like a star bright sky    

Twisting my heart, blowing my mind apart   

Chorus

Just like ghost she haunts all my dreams   

Just like a ghost she taunts all my schemes   

Bridge

Ain’t it funny how your heart knows

When your mind’s telling you no, no, no

It’s amazing how your heart soars

When your mind opens the doors…to love

repeat first 3 stanzas

So now it’s our time to fade away
We’ve had some good times, we had our days
Lately, it seems it’s just been a dream
Smoke and mirrors, just some fantasy

When did it all start to fade away
Was it when our blonde turned to gray
Hey it’s all right, you’re by my side
It’s just another carnival ride

The smile in your eyes
Has been my paradise
And the tears can’t disguise
The love that’s in your eyes

And I know wherever I go
You’ll be there
Walking alongside me
With your blonde hair

No time for regrets
Just lay beside me now
Engulf me in a sea love
As I leave this shore

The smile in your eyes
Has been my paradise
And the tears can’t disguise
The love that’s in your eyes

So now it’s our time to fade away

I’m so tired of working like a dog
Worrying about all the things
That don’t mean
A damn thing to me

I just want to get away
Take a step back, slip away
You and I, just fade away
Fade away

And on these hazy days
I imagine all the lazy ways
I can spend in your arms
Spellbound by your charms

Dancing under the moonlight, our shadows flickering
In the firelight, everything’s all right
Breathing’s getting easier these days
There’s a freedom in the winds that stray our way

And on these hazy days
I imagine all the lazy ways
I can spend in your arms
Spellbound by your charms

I just want to get away
Take a step back, slip away
You and I, just fade away
Fade away

Seems these days we don’t agree on most anything
Even our hearts seem to be lost in futility
We have both abandoned what we’ve always dreamed
A life together, a love so strong, when did it all go wrong

Will you still hear my voice echo through the empty halls
Will my picture still be hanging on the wall
Will you still hear my voice echo through the empty halls
Will you see my shadow on the wall
When I’m gone, When I’m gone, When I’m gone, When I’m gone

We’ve both forgotten the crazy loved we shared
When I looked into your eyes the world disappeared
And just a kiss, one sweet kiss was my great escape
And your body next to mine is still imprinted in my brain

Seems these days we don’t agree on most anything
Even our hearts seem to be lost in futility
We have both abandoned what we’ve always dreamed
A life together, a love so strong, when did it all go wrong

Will you still hear my voice echo through the empty halls
Will my picture still be hanging on the wall
Will you still hear my voice echo through the empty halls
Will you see my shadow on the wall
When I’m gone, When I’m gone, When I’m gone, When I’m gone

She is a dreamer
a sweet unfolding flower
Unassuming, sometimes amusing
What’s the secret to her power over me

She’s just a slight and slender reed
Flowing gracefully in the tall grass
Her long dress billows in the summer breeze
Making her appear as if in flight

She stands on higher ground than I
Gently lifting me to dare
Doing all she can to share
The schemes a dreamer dreams

Simply Sarah, a lover extraordinaire
Simply Sarah, worth more than any billionaire
Has all she needs, wants for nothing
Lives in harmony and peace, she is

Simply Sarah
Simply Sarah
Simply Sarah
Simply Sarah
This song was inspired by a painting by Russian artist Stenka Razin

This waiting is driving me crazy
The tears I’m tasting are just wasting me away
And though I know it’s in your eyes
I can’t help wondering why

I’m bound to lose, bound to lose with you

You’re a melancholy lady
No use trying to disguise it
I can see it’s in your eyes
It’s in your eyes

And though I know you’re not to blame
And I can’t help feeling it’s a shame
That loving you always costs
A tear or two, a tear or two

And you’re a lady lost
Hiding behind a curtain of your memories
Afraid to pull the string
Afraid to sing, afraid to sing

This waiting is driving me crazy
The tears I’m tasting are just wasting me away
And though I know it’s in your eyes
I can’t help wondering why

I’m bound to lose, bound to lose with you
Because loving you darling
Always costs a tear or two

Written in 1974

He’s my angel, a miracle to me
Sees all the possibilities, recognizes no boundaries
And his smile lights up my universe
Brighter than all the stars in the sky

And when he holds your hand
Surrender yourself, he’s in command
And when he holds you in his heart
Heaven is just a breath away

He’s a reflection of all that’s good
Mom’s apple pie, Walt Disney World
And his fantasies are just you and me
We’re along for the ride, can’t you see

And when he holds your hand
Surrender yourself, he’s in command
And when he holds you in his heart
Heaven is just a breath away

This song was inspired and written for my youngest son circa 1990

Just when I think there’s no chance at all
Just when I think it’s the final fall
Through the gray and cloudy skies
There comes a sliver of blue, shining through, that’s you

Paths I’ve chosen seem unimportant these days
Struggling through the morass of disappointing ways
That I’ve chosen to travel
Mysteries I’ve forgotten to unravel

Too busy these days to see my soul
Got lost along a lonely road
On the path of a simple fool
When all I want is a sliver of blue

Suffering sorrow makes me ache in my soul
Struggling each day to attain no sure goal
Think it would help if I knew what to do
I just keep hanging on for a sliver of blue

Chances are I will make my last stand
Fight the good fight and play my last hand
But you know I’m sure I will lose
Then all I’ll have left is a sliver of blue

Too busy these days to see my soul
Got lost along a lonely road
On the path of a simple fool
When all I want is a sliver of blue

Just when I think there’s no chance at all
Just when I think it’s the final fall
Through the gray and cloudy skies
There comes a sliver of blue, shining through, that’s you
