Ready To Be Ready
I wasn’t ready to be ready
For what they all said
I was comfortably lonely
Spent my days in bed.
An empty pillow
Unwrinkled sheets
They said soon I’m gonna find
Someone next to me.
I kept on searching, searching for nothing
I wasn’t ready to be tied down
But then I saw you singing Tiny Dancer
Maybe I am ready to be ready now
Yeah, I am ready to be ready now.
I wasn’t ready to be ready
But that’s how it goes
One day you’re lonely
The next you’re saying hello.
To a beautiful girl, who’s gonna change my world.
(CHORUS)
Ooohhh…..
(CHORUS)
Ooohhh…..

Already Mine
I fell in love the minute I saw you
Sitting there in a faceless crowd
Thought it was a dream, but my eyes were open
Couldn’t help but stare in your direction
My mind was quiet but the room was loud
Probably got no chance, but I sure am hopin’.
I just wanna know you
Because I barely know me
You could show me how much better life's supposed to be.
I’ve got no more time to waste,
When I’ve been wasting all my time
Can you see me as yours,
Cause you’re already mine.
Fast forward to a few days later
All I wanna do is see your face
You’re heading over, and I bet you’re looking fine.
Put your weekend plans in sleep mode
Let the nights blur into days
(And we’ll) do it…all again…like we hit rewind.
(CHORUS)
Already mine….Already mine….
(CHORUS)
I fell in love the minute I saw you.

Color Me Blind
You gotta style, full of confidence
I’m in denial, must be happenstance
My life was chaos, ‘Till you put me at ease
Cause I’m a hurricane, and you’re a summer breeze.
Whooo…..
I got that blue sky
Hovering over my head
I wanna see those green eyes
Staring back at me in bed
But I don’t see what you see in me
You must be outta your mind
Whoo….you color me blind.
I say I’m lucky, You say it’s meant to be
I call it lucky, you call it destiny.
Whooo….
(CHORUS)
You’re everything that I want
You put the light in my dark
One day maybe I’ll see
Why you’ve fallen for me.
(CHORUS)

Sweet Southern Girl

Sweet Southern Girl
I grew up in Jersey, Where no one could hurt me
I moved to the south, With my rude northern mouth.
I found an apartment, With coffee stained carpet
I checked out the city, To see if I had it in me.
To turn into someone who could live on their own
To meet some good people, to make this a home
While missing the ones who taught me to grow
I learned that it’s ok to just take it slow.
Thank you Atlanta, You gave me new life
I traded the stars for the bright city lights
I could’ve been lost in
This big open world
Until I found me a sweet southern girl
I’m so glad I found me a sweet southern girl.
In the suburbs of Philly, Is where I could still be
But I quit running that race, For a much slower pace.
Love don’t come easy, wherever you go
But the south has the belles,
Like the north has the snow.
(CHORUS)
(SOLO) (prechorus chords)
(Chorus)
Thank God I found me a sweet southern girl.

Other Side Of The Door
As I write you these words
You’re sound asleep in bed
I’m down the hall, wishing I were next to you instead.
An after dinner fight
Set fire-to-our night
It’s nights like these, I wish I kept my cool and my lips tight.
I ain’t been sleepin’
Floorboards keep creakin’
Wish I was dreamin’
But all I see are words on the Pages….
I really hate this
Let me lay beside you and know that we can make this
I was selfish, and now I’m helpless
There’s no winner in this war
When you’re on the other side of the door.
Before you fell asleep
Did you even think to cry
(Did every word I said) pass thru your head
(And) Did you feel…justified?
I still ain’t sleepin’
Floorboards still creakin’
We keep repeatin’
Every single word on these Pages…
CHORUS

Julianna
The nights last forever, but the hours are few
Each passing moment, gets me closer to you.
My heart’s beating faster, I got a lot on my plate
And when that day comes, it’s hurry up and wait.
Oh Julianna….(Julianna)
We haven’t met, but I already know ya
Don’t put up a fight
You’ve got nothing to fear
Julianna, Love is waiting out here.
An innocent angel, on a falling star
Soon you’ll be guilty, for stealing my heart.
(CHORUS)
Love, love, will come pouring down
When you see your first light
When you hear your first sound -
Oh Julianna!!
(Julianna)…..Oh Julianna (Julianna)…
Don’t put up a fight
You’ve got nothing to fear
Julianna, Love is waiting out here.

Condo
I’m gonna buy you that condo
Off Highway 98
A place to make some new memories
Yeah I can hardly wait.
I wanna show you you’re worth it
I’ll give you everything
You don’t have to keep dreamin’
Beyond just a wedding ring.
It might take a little time….But it’s always on my mind.
I can picture me and you, And a beachfront ocean view
A french pressed sunrise, Under a cabana for two
The girls are grown up, Got kids of their own
We’ll always have somewhere to go…..
I’m gonna buy you that condo.
We all need a little sunshine
And a place to get away
You been lookin’ for a good time
And a suntanned holiday!!
(CHORUS)
I’ve been known to break a promise
But always make it up to you.
No nothings gonna stop us
From making this dream come true.
I'm gonna buy you that condo
Off highway 98
I’m gonna buy you that condo

Nothing Else Matters Today
We’ve seen so much together
And there’s so much more ahead
Nobody will ever know what we’ve seen
Nobody will ever know what we dream
But I think it’s better that way,
Cause nothing else matters today.
We’ll tell stories of tomorrow
Of what yesterday always knew
We’re gonna miss the good times and the bad
We’re gonna wish for days that we never had
There will be more on the way
Nothing else matters today.
Oohhh…..
Nobody will ever know what we’ve seen
Nobody will ever know what we dream
But I think it’s better that way,
Cause nothing else matters today.
Nothing else matters today…..
No nothing else matters today.

Starting Over
I’ll never leave you, Even if you break my heart
Because I need you, To find us if we both get lost.
Sometimes sorry isn’t good enough
Sometimes I worry that you’ve given up
We’ve got a lot to talk about.
Even when the clouds reject the sun
Don’t lose hope, when all I want is –
To be the one you can’t live without.
Before the end gets any closer,
Let’s try starting over.
If you wanna blame me, You’re too late I blame myself
Thought love was easy, but hard to realize I let you down.
Good times, bad times, what’s it mean
When truth lies somewhere in between
Some walk away when hearts get hurt.
I always say that I’ll be better
You reply with what’s it matter
We both know that shit don’t work.
Before the end get any closer,
Let’s try starting over.
(Pre 1)
Even if the end feels closer, we’ll try starting over.

Dying Day
“LaLa LaLa….”
Another cup of coffee
On another early mornin’
Another have you seen my keys
I swear that I just saw ‘em
Another I’ll see you later
Don’t know when I’ll be home
Another where’s the time go when you’re gone.
I’ve never loved you!
I’ve never loved you more than I love you now
It keeps getting stronger
And as we get older
I wouldn't have it any other way
Love will out live our dying day.
“LaLa LaLa”
Another conversation
Another how’d your day go
Another get these kids to bed
Don’t wanna miss the final episode
Another hold me closer
The day’s come to an end
Another get up and do it all again.
(CHORUS)
“LaLa…..”
(CHORUS) “LaLa LaLa”
