Smoke in My Eyes

She walked away  I got nothing to say 
Somebody asked me ‘Why do I cry?’
I tell you no lies. I got smoke in my eyes
So long ago I guess we fell in love
I’d give her the moon and  the stars above
I’m not good with goodbyes. I got smoke in my eyes
 
I got smoke in my eyes  I got smoke in my eyes
I got smoke in my eyes  I got smoke in my eyes

Maybe someday I’ll get back on my feet
But until then I’ll keep smiling so sweet
I’ll hide my disguise.  I got smoke in my eyes
I sit by  this  fire, crackling wood
I’ll carry  on. Please tell me  I should
There’s clouds in the skies I got smoke in my eyes
I got smoke in my eyes  I got smoke in my eyes
I got smoke in my eyes  I got smoke in my eyes

 Track # 18 from the album “Remember”

Sky's The Limit

YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR ME TO COME IN
BUT YOU DON’T KNOW OH WHERE I’VE BEEN
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME BUT WHAT DO YOU KNOW
JUST SITTING AT THE DINER NO PLACE TO GO
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR LOVE             
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR LOVE

YOU EAT YOUR LUNCH WELL  IT’S NOT THE SAME
I’M  NOW THERE NOW WELL WHO’S TO BLAME 
A PICKLE WITH A SANDWICH SERVED WITH FRIES
THERE AIN’T NO COMPASSION IN THOSE STONY EYES
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR LOVE             
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR LOVE

“HAVE FAITH IN YOUR MAN” THE WOMAN ON THE T.V. SINGS
YOU’RE LOOKING AT YOUR SANDWICH +YOUR WEDDING RINGS
COULD THIS BE THE TURNING POINT IN YOUR MIXED UP LIFE?
YOU PUT SOME BUTTER ON THAT KITCHEN KNIFE
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR LOVE             
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR LOVE

YOU GOT TO KNOW THAT YOU’RE NOT LIKE ME
WITH YOUR FACE IN THE PAPER WELL THAT’S ALL YOU SEE
IT’S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME FOR YOUR TRANSFORMATION
JUST SITTIN AT THE DINER AT THE RAILWAY STATION             
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR LOVE             
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR LOVE

SHE'S THE NEXT GIRL

He sees her at work most every  day
She works on the floor. What should he say?
She goes for lunch  and he takes a break
They see each other  and they  order cake

She’s the Next Girl on his list
She’s the Next Girl that he’ll kiss
She’s the Next Girl that he’ll miss
She’ll break his heart

He’ll ask her out or so he thinks
He puts it off . What does she drink?
She sits down and he just walks  by 
Maybe tomorrow . He’ll give it a try

She says “Yes” when he asks her out 
She says”Yes” he starts to shout
“I’ve got it made” old love will fade
My broken heart, I’m going to trade

She’ll give him hope . He’ll start something new
Old  memories, well they’re all through
She’s like a rose. She’s like a seed
He’ll falling love . That’s what he needs

Sentimental About You

I’m sentimental, sentimental about you
I’m sentimental,  a sentimental old fool
I  think of your head on my pillow
It’s not a dream just a memory
A whimsical heart in a forgotten world
A torch that you lit when I was young
I’m sentimental, sentimental about you 
I’m sentimental, a sentimental old fool

MISSING HER

                                 
 NO  LOVE  TONIGHT MY  LOVE  HAS  GONE AWAY
 NO  LOVE  IN  SIGHT SO  LONELY  THROUGH  THE DAY

I   WANDER   DOWN   THIS   BOULEVARD
I  MISS  THE  SOUND  OF  OUR  FEET
THE  WAY  WE  WALK  TOGETHER   
I  HEAR  HER  HEART  BEAT

SHE   HOLDS   ME   IN   MY   DREAMS 
SHE   KISSES   ME  TO  SLEEP
THE  ECHOES   OF   HER   MEMORIES   
 THE   SILENCE   OF   THE   DEEP                   
AND  I’M   MISSING  HER , YES  I’M MISSING  HER   [tonight]

PARACHUTES, CHINATOWN, BIG CITY PARKS, LIMOUSINES
A BUS  RIDE AT  NIGHT, WEARING FADED OLD BLUE  JEANS

I   WANDER   DOWN   THIS   BOULEVARD
I  MISS  THE  SOUND  OF  OUR  FEET
THE  WAY  WE  WALK  TOGETHER   
I  HEAR  HER  HEART  BEAT

SHE   HOLDS   ME   IN   MY   DREAMS 
SHE   KISSES   ME  TO  SLEEP
THE  ECHOES   OF   HER   MEMORIES   
 THE   SILENCE   OF   THE   DEEP                   
AND  I’M   MISSING  HER , I’M MISSING  HER   [tonight]
