Foggy Window
Rain is pouring down on the windshield
As we make our way down the 101
And I know (that) you've seen better times
But life is like a roller coaster and all the ups and downs are in your mind
So roll down your foggy window
And feel the rain on your finger tips
Take it all in tonight
And I'll be by your side
I know you pour your soul into everything you do
And when your cup starts overflowing it'll all come back to you
And when you think you're going the wrong way
Just know you're closer to tomorrow than you were yesterday
So roll down your foggy window
And feel the rain on your finger tips
Take it all in tonight
And I'll be by your side
These days will pass you by so breathe it all in tonight
And when the rain stops pouring down you'll know we've arrived
And I'll be by your side
So roll down your foggy window and feel the rain . . .
Take it all in, breathe it all in tonight
And I'll be by your side

One Step Behind
I showed up late to life's party
Fashionably late I like to think
But everyone was already gone
They'd all moved on.
They left the music on
Playing the Faces "Oo La La"
And I could have walked away
But I decided to stay
Seems like I've always been just one step behind
Like someone said go before I reached the starting line
And it gets lonely when you're trailing by a mile
But if you wait for me, I promise you I'll make it worth your while.
We've been together so much time,
Still every day i wake up can't believe I get to call you mine
I want to spend the rest of my life in your world,
Just need a little time to make sure i can give you everything you deserve.
Seems like I've always been just one step behind
Like someone said go before I reached the starting line
And it gets lonely when you're trailing by a mile
But if you wait for me, I promise you I'll make it worth your while.
Sometimes I get off course
I lose my way and pause
That's when you shine your light
You take me as I am because . . .
You know I've always been just one step behind
Like someone said go before I reached the starting line
And it gets lonely when you're trailing by a mile
But if you wait for me, I promise you I'll make it worth your while.


Puzzle
Last night I had the most wonderful time
We had so much fun and you looked so fine
But how did you like it? You've got me confused
Do you feel about me the way that I feel about you
And can't help but to think of all the answers I'd find
If I could take one quick peek inside your mind
Now it's raining outside and there's no place I'd rather be
Than right here inside just you and me
So step into my living room baby
And spread yourself across my table
You'll be my rainy day activity
Don't care if I'm not able
To put you together
So maybe I'll never
But baby we'll have a good time,
You're a puzzle baby, and that's alright
Don't worry you won't hurt me we're just havin' some fun
This could be our little secret I won't tell anyone
Now all the ladies at the bar they think I'm crazy 'cause, you see
They're all these sweet talkin' little mommas tryin' to come home with me
And I can't say I blame 'em, I lay my rhymes down like a mason
But it's your love that I'm chasin' and confusion that I'm facin'
But I can't see me replacin' you with anyone in case that you
Decide to leave me high and dry for some other lucky guy.
Now whenever I see you it just seems so cruel
'Cause I fall more in love with everything that you do.
And the higher you take me the farther I fall
But I just keep going along with it all
So step into my living room baby
And spread yourself across my table
You'll be my rainy day activity
Don't care if I'm not able
To put you together
So maybe I'll never
But baby we'll have a good time,
You're a puzzle baby, I can't figure you out
Such a puzzle baby, but won't you be mine.

Photograph
It's funny how a photograph can take you far away
And make a moment int he past seem like yesterday
But the longer I see this world from behind these hazel eyes
The less I know this face that stares me back, though it was mine.
And like the blink of an eye it slipped quietly by
The life of a child
If I could touch the sun and take it in my hands
I'd hold it in the sky
And just stop time.
And lately I've been wondering will we ever see the light?
There's a broken road ahead of us and we're driving through the night.
And as we travel down this way and take the path unpaved
I look to my rearview and question the choice I have made.
Time burns, time turns a mountain into sand
A boy into a man
And like the blink of an eye it slipped quietly by
The life of a child
If I could touch the sun and take it in my hands
I'd hold it in the sky
And just stop time.
It's funny how a photograph can take you far away.


Home Tonight
Hey baby, whacha want to do tonight
There's a party going on uptown and I'm feeling alright
Or we could head downtown to Cross Street and hang out with everyone we know
And pay way to much money for a Captain and Coke
I don't think so
Let's stay home tonight
All alone tonight
Let's stay home tonight
I know there's so much else to do
But baby I like doing nothing with you
We'll just pretend like we're snowed in
Nowhere to go and nothing we could miss
And though the time may slip us by
We'll steal away the night.
Oh they say that time's so vital don't waste it being idle but I disagree
'Cause though we can't replace it you know it's never wasted
As long as I got you with me.
Let's stay home tonight
All alone tonight
Let's stay home tonight
I know there's so much else to do
But baby I like doing nothing with you

Empty Spaces
You don't have to come around here anymore
Everything is gone that was yours
The April days just crawled along
And I started to move on
But in silence I can hear you
Your voice it lingers in my ears
Like an echo, it reminds me
Of all the better years
Now that everything is gone
I tried to move on
But the empty spaces
Fill my mind with thoughts of you.
Packed up and left all I had known
Traded diamonds for a new life of my own
But do I ever float across your mind
Like you weigh on mine?
I wish that you would come around here some more
Everything is gone that was yours . . .










Chinese Food on Christmas
Santa doesn’t come down my chimney
Or leave presents under my tree
He’s made his list and he’s checked it twice
But nowhere on there was me.
It’s not that I’ve been naughty
I’m a real good kid, I swear
There’s just something you should know about me
Something I’d like to share
I eat Chinese food on Christmas
Go to the movie theater, too
‘Cause there just ain’t much else to do on Christmas
When you’re a Jew
When you’re out with your family
Getting ready for the big day
I’m at home playing dreidel
And eating latkes that Bubbe made
No I’m not dreaming of a white Christmas
It’s not that I don’t like snow (I love snow)
It’s just if we were all snowed in on Christmas
I’d have no place to go.
