To Get Me To You
(Lyrics by Diane Warren)

A Good Thing
Lyrics By Monica Marie

I'm watching you as you're watching her
And though I try to ignore it - It really hurts
So many times I've turned my back
But if you smile one more time
I'll have a heart attack

CHORUS

You've got a good thing
And you don't even know it
A good thing - oh why don't you show it
You've got a good thing - you're about to blow it.

All my friends think you're crazy
And me too for staying with you
You see a good good woman is
So hard to find - I'll be the one for you
Leave your cheating behind

(Chorus)

You know I love you - but I've got my honor too
You've got to realize the deal
I leave it up to you

I think your condition's called your
Cake and eat it too and your only excuse
Is you're misunderstood

(Chorus)

Dream Weaver
(Lyrics by Gary Wright)

Love For The Child
Lyrics by Monica Marie

Make me feel like I belong
Give me your hand
Teach me to be strong
Give me the hope for a bright future
And love to endure

CHORUS

Love love love - for the child
Love love love - feel love when they smile
Love love love - give them a chance
Love love love - to love a child - be the uplifting hand

Show me you care in your eyes
Help me develop
So I'll have pride
Bring me into your world
It's too lonely outside

(Chorus)

Hold me when I'm sad
Explain away the bad
Build me a foundation to rely on
Give me a place to run and hide

Please don't let troubles weigh you down
Let my laugh be
The sweetest sound
Humble yourself in happines
With my trust you've been blessed

(Chorus)

Don't Look At Me That Way
(Lyrics by Diane Warren)

Can U Tell Me?
Lyrics by Monica Marie

I didn't get to be naive for long
I had to grow up - be strong
Many nights still fresh in my mind
I waited for your lights that never shined

PRECHORUS

There you are - a mystery to me
They say you love me but I still don't see
I wonder why I don't feel worthy
Could it be this tragedy is why I lived insecurely?

CHORUS

Can you tell me what went wrong?
Why some days seem so long?
Why some days inside I'm dying?
Why some days I keep on trying?

Now I have a choice to move on
And fix what is broken
Though we never really talked
So many words never spoken

I'd like to know you before it's too late
You're the only one I can't relate
Silly that I've come from you
And we're both so misunderstood

CHORUS (ALT)

Can you tell me what went wrong?
Why some days seem so long?
Why some days inside I'm dying?
Why some days I keep on trying?

Can you tell me how to let go?
Can you tell me how to go on?
Can you tell me how to start anew?
And it's o.k. to love you?

How do I repair what I don't understand?
Looking for answers in other men
All the answers lie in you
You've life to live - don't want to hurt you

(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus-Alt)

Out Of My Head
Lyrics by Monica Marie

I tell myself it's just a fantasy
And you're not really anything I need
But it's a lie - 'cause you know you make me come alive

And I keep saying I like to be free
With no one around to make me crazy
But it's a lie - 'cause you know
I miss you all the time

CHORUS

Get out of my head
Get out of my heart
Get out of my dreams
When we're apart

Get out of my head
Get out of my love
You must be sent from heaven above

Cause I'm hooked on you
Hooked on you in love

I tell myself there's lots of babes around
But you just keep me laughling like a clown
Oh what to do - 'cause you know
I'm loving you

You bring me up whenever - I am down
And when I'm nervous - you keep me sound
Oh you're a dream - can't stop thinking about you it seems
Have mercy

(Chorus)

So here I am - at square one
Just when I thought aloneness was fun
If I could bottle thoughts of you all day
Then I'd be feeling O.K.

How do I stop this trance I'm in?
What you've done I can hardly begin to tell you
Got me acting like a fool - in love

(Chorus)

Live Life
Lyrics by Monica Marie

Watching your heart break
When you let the world pass you by
Is like waiting for your ship to come in
While your dreams all run dry

Well you've got to learn
That time waits for no one
So baby don't waste time anymore

CHORUS

And you've got to live life to the fullest
Take care somehow
Don't wait for tomorrow
Live for now

So you've had some hard luck
Hey - haven't we all
And it seems sometimes it won't end - no

But stay true to yourself
You've lots of love inside
So spread your wealth

(Chorus)

Things don't always go as we wish
But we can change our lives
We have that gift
To make a new world
Full of love

Seize the moment
And make it happen
Don't give up hope - keep the faith
And remember you're in control

(Chorus)

You
Lyrics by Monica Marie

What's it like to be inside your head?
What's it like to be you?
And how does it feel when you're happy?
Is it anything like me?

What are you thinking the whole day through?
And how do I know how to get to you?
Do you imagine the things I do?
What's it like to be you?

CHORUS

If only you could feel the way I do
My love for you grows stronger each day
You'd know how easy it is to love you
I wish that I culd show you the way
If only you could know what it's like

What's it like to be inside your head?
Do you ever feel sad when things are good?
And do you cry inside at sad movies?
Do you ever fear being alone?

To kiss your cheek and to hold you tight
Feel the love inside
You and I could be, are we
The happiest two alive?

(Chorus)

If I could be you and you be me
Only for a day you'd see
The love I have for you is strong
Even when you're away

(Chorus)

What's it like to be inside your head?
What's it like to be you?
And how does it feel when you're happy?
Is it anything like me?

My Solace
Lyrics by Monica Marie

Although it seems like sometimes
People aren't as we hoped
And the faces that we look at
Have stories untold - I trust in you

PRE-CHORUS

Cause I now as long as you're inside me
Nothing could go wrong

CHORUS

Cause you were meant to be my sunshine
To light my fire through the rain
And I'll always burn for you
My Solace

I'm feeling a little low today
Cause my world has got me down
So I'll close my eyes and think of you
And escape for a while

(Chorus)

The places that I travel
Aren't always so kind
And when another so called friend drifts by
With accolades gone sour

I turn to you and say - Thank God

(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus-Repeat Chorus)

Passion
Lyrics By Monica Marie

You always were the fortunate one
And sunshine follows you wherever you go - and I wonder
What is it you have that shines so bright?
Love surrounds your life

CHORUS

(Passion) - Must be a fire inside
(Passion) - Or a sparkle in your eyes
(Passion) - It's a softness in your voice
(Passion - Passion)
It's Passion - it makes me love you more

You never ask to receive
And yet you give yourself continuously
And I wonder how can you be sweet?
Even when you're hand in hand with adversity

(Wish I were more like you)
Teach me how to pull though
And still be me - more at peace
(Wish I knew how to be)
Easy going - always sweet
And oh I'll try - to feed the fire in me

(Chorus)

And here I am - in awe of your touch
And you're so calm and well - I am so not
And I wonder - how long will this last?
Just promise me - you'll stay Passionate

(Chorus)

Eyes
Lyrics by Monica Marie & Will Rogers

What does he tell her - what does he say?
What words does he use when he says my name?
Does she know about me?
Is her love allowed to be free?
Or am I the only one drowning - in this triangular sea?

CHORUS

I want to know what he tells her
I want to hear
I want to know what he tells her
I want to hear

Does he tell her we laughed?
Does he tell her we've cried?
Does he tell her we made love?
Does he tell her we see ourselves in each other's eyes?

What does she tell him - does she touch his heart?
Does he tell her I'm a memory - is he still in love with me?
And it's all in the eyes - you don't have to say a word
The place where the truth lies - if only we could see inside

(Chorus)

Am I fooling myself - saturated in lies?
Looking in the mirror - I lost myself this time

Does he tell her we laughed?
Does he tell her we've cried?
Does he tell her we made love?
Does he tell her we see ourselves in each other's eyes?

And is he open - does he tell her truth?
Can he look in her eyes when he says my name?

(Chorus)

Change
Lyrics by Monica Marie

Visions, somehow I lost mine along the way
Caught up, in just existing every day
Sameness, has become my only friend
Want to break out - of the space I'm in

CHORUS

Change - the only thing for sure
Change - in a world so insecure
Change - we become what we mirror

I'm going down to place I've never been
Coming around and learning to give in
Elation with the start of something new
Frightened to let go of what I'm through

(Chorus)

(It's time to change, are you ready to change?) - I'm ready
(It's time to change, are you ready to change?) - Are you?

(Angry no more) - It's a tired emotion
(Angry no more) - You've lost my devotion

(Chorus)

Back To You
Lyrics by Monica Marie

The wind in my hair soothes the pain
In between times when we're one again
And it seems like forever my longing for you
I can't think of anything else - I'm lost in myself

When did this happen this union that makes me
So crazy I can't sleep nights
Come back to me as soon as you can
Time is too long away that I don't feel
Your loving hand

CHORUS

I want to get back to you
There's no place I'd rather be
Cause I need you here with me
Life is more enjoyable with you near

Friends call but my thoughts are with you
Their stories elude me - I know it seems unfair
But you're in me more than myself at times
I can't imagine what it was like before you mine

And I know we have our lives to lead
But when I get back to you time passes slower
And I will need you still when I'm older
More than you could believe

(Chorus - Chorus Repeat)
