I have a been a songwriter most of my life. I am also a playwright and one of my musicals has been produced locally three times. Because I am a playwright, my songs are centered on character and story.
I love a cello
I love a cello
I love to hear somebody play
The cello
A mellow cello
The timbre carries me away
I'd love a glorious Stradivarius
I'd love to pluck the strings
Then slide the bow so very slow
And with vibrato or pizzicato
I'd play the Robert Schuman way
I'd be elated, exhilarated
If I could hear the great Ma play
So I just can't let it go
Give me a C-E-L-L-O oh, oh
I’ll always listen;
My eyes will glisten
When I hear that mellow sound
I love a cello
I love a cello
I love to hear somebody play
The cello
A mellow cello
The timbre carries me away
I'd love a glorious Stradivarius
I'd love to pluck the strings
Then slide the bow so very slow
And with vibrato or pizzicato
I'd play the Robert Schuman way
I'd be elated, exhilarated
If I could hear the great Ma play
So I just can't let it go
Give me a C-E-L-L-O oh, oh
I’ll always listen;
My eyes will glisten
When I hear that mellow sound
[chorus]
I am going to fight
And I am going to win
Take a look at where I've been
It's time
Time to fight and win
[verse]
Taking stock of my life
What have I to show?
A broken heart
Abandoned dreams
And a fear of letting go
But I feel my life is changing
It will be better somehow
For the past is not my future
And my future's starting now
[chorus]
I am going to fight
And I am going to win
Take a look at where I've been
It's time
Time to fight and win
[verse]
There’s a new road ahead
Where the sun will shine
I will find
Where it is
And my life, I’ll make it mine
When I reach my destination
I’ll know it’s where I belong
And my past will be behind me
And my future will be strong
[bridge]
I won’t be moved like a pawn on a board
My life is mine alone to command
My sense of purpose is restored
The power is in my hand
[chorus]
I am going to fight
And I am going to win
Take a look at where I've been
It's time
Time to fight and win
I am going to fight and win
[verse 1]
When I saw you standing there I got a feeling
That feeling everybody’s talking about
When it hit my head my heart just started reeling
And it’s a feeling I don’t wanna live without
[chorus]
Maybe I’m crazy
Maybe I know
Maybe I’m falling
Maybe it shows
Maybe there’s a chance that you feel it too
So crazy or not I’ve got
A feeling about you
[verse 2]
There’s a fire deep inside, Oh how it dances
Your glances add a little more to the flame
Is there a chance that you can feel the fire
I won’t tire until I know you feel the same
[chorus]
Maybe I’m crazy
Maybe I know
Maybe I’m falling
Maybe it shows
Maybe there’s a chance that you feel it too
So crazy or not I’ve got
A feeling about you
[bridge]
It only took one look
And there’s one thing I know
Now that I’ve found you
I can’t let you go
[chorus]
Maybe I’m crazy
Maybe I know
Maybe I’m falling
Maybe it shows
Maybe there’s a chance that you feel it too
So crazy or not I’ve got
A feeling about you
[verse]
Wasn’t it good while it lasted
Didn’t we have a ball
Walking in the moonlight
And dancing till dawn
We had a good thing going
But all that was good is gone
[chorus]
For it was never forever for you
You never intended to see our love through
Now I must start picking up the pieces of my broken heart
Cause it was never forever for you
[verse]
Didn’t I feel it ending
Didn’t I see the signs
You gave me no warning
Or was my heart blind
Time fades the memories
But can I leave it all behind
[chorus]
For it was never forever for you
You never intended to see our love through
Now I must start picking up the pieces of my broken heart
Cause it was never forever for you
[bridge]
There will come a time
When you meet someone new
When she’s head over heels
Should I warn her of you
[chorus]
For it was never forever for you
You never intended to see our love through
Now I must start picking up the pieces of my broken heart
Cause it was never forever for you
[verse 1]
It isn't easy to do
With just so many hours in the day
There's so much to get through
And things just get in my way
[verse 2]
It isn't easy to say
Not when you look at me like that
I'm doing the best I can
And that's where I'm at
[chorus]
Just give me time
It'll be done when it's done
Just give me space
It’ll be fine in the long run
No one knows the future
We know what’s past is past
Just give me time
I’ll have that breakthrough at last
[bridge]
Tell me I can do it
I’m depending on you
Together we can make it
One is fine
But it’s better with two
[verse 3]
It isn't easy to do
With just so many hours in the day
But I know I’ll get through
And then I’ll be on my way
[bridge]
Tell me I can do it
I’m depending on you
Together we can make it
One is fine
But it’s better with two
[chorus]
Just give me time
It'll be done when it's done
Just give me space
It’ll be fine in the long run
No one knows the future
We know what’s past is past
Just give me time
I’ll have that breakthrough at last
[chorus]
Just give me time
It'll be done when it's done
Just give me space
It’ll be fine in the long run
No one knows the future
We know what’s past is past
Just give me time
I’ll have that breakthrough at last
[verse 1]
Many’s the time I wonder where you are
Many’s the time I cry
I let you go
How I miss you so
And as each day goes by
[chorus]
My heart goes out to you
Wherever you may be
When you left
You took a part of me
I’ll never love another
The way that I love you
And each moment of every day
My heart goes out to you
[verse 2]
Now my poor heart has nothing left to give
Now my dear love has gone
I try to see
What my life will be
But every day I live
[chorus]
My heart goes out to you
Wherever you may be
When you left
You took a part of me
I’ll never love another
The way that I love you
And each moment of every day
My heart goes out to you
[bridge]
If you can hear my plea
Please bring my heart back to me
[chorus]
My heart goes out to you
Wherever you may be
When you left
You took a part of me
I’ll never love another
The way that I love you
And each moment of every day
My heart goes out to you
