Album - New York State Of Mind

Verse 1
Where has all the time gone by
Wasn’t it yesterday when you caught my eye
Could this be just an alibi for love
Again

Verse 2
The first time that we met I knew
That happiness meant being with you
Can my heart ever bring me to
Love you

Chorus
Will you be the one who stands beside me from now on
When the world gets a hold of me and everything feels wrong
Just know I’ll always be there for you, this I guarantee
Put your hand in mine and take a chance on me

Verse 3
How do lovers keep the moon
From vanishing a moment too soon
Are we both just giving way to our fears
My ear

Chorus
Will you be the one who stands beside me from now on
When the world gets a hold of me and everything feels wrong
Just know I’ll always be there for you, this I guarantee
Put your hand in mine and take a chance on me

Verse 1
The night fall and brings your silhouette
And now all I have is this regret
For If you only knew I thought the world of you, back then
And no matter how hard I tried, to move on without you by my side
There’s a piece of me, that needs to see your eye’s

Chorus
Tell me are you blue
Girl you need to know, I’m missing you
And I want your love again
Can we see this through, cause my heart is broke in two?
Tell me are you just as Blue

Verse 3
I can’t help but wish that you were near
Cause life seemed so simple when you are here
Lying in my arms, you’re my lucky charm
my dear

Chorus
Tell me are you blue, girl you need to know
I’m missing you
And I want your love again
Can we see this through, cause my heart is broke in two?
Tell me are you just as Blue

Bridge
You know my questions, and I know your answers so why
So why do we have to play these games
You know my secrets, I know the things that make you fly
We need to take a chance on a good thing, cause I never ever want to say goodbye

Chorus
Tell me are you blue, girl you need to know
I’m missing you
And I want your love again
Can we see this through, cause my heart is broke in two?
Tell me are you just as Blue

VERSE 1
Hey Don Juan I’m movin’on
It’s time for me to Skedaddle
There’s never a night when there isn’t a fight
I don’t want this war or battle
I gave you my best you couldn’t care less
So what’s a girl to do?
Gonna swallow my pride and hit my stride
And walk away from you

VERSE 2
I opened my heart from the very start
But now I have to lock it
Been playin the fool givin’ you the fuel
Though ya never really launched my rocket
I didn’t want to be the one to say
But I think that you should know
I ain’t looking back
Cause you don’t know jack
and I’m stepping out your back pocket

CHORUS
Do me Wrong, Do me right
You had your chance you had the green light
Do me Wrong Do me Right
I’m packing my bags and bookin’ the next flight
(I said) Do me Wrong, Do me Right
Ain’t no way I won’t be on that plane tonight

VERSE 3
So Chapter and verse it doesn’t get worse
That’s why we need to stop it
When push came to shove you were fresh out of love
A bible without a prophet
When I am gone you’ll think hard and long
And wish that I Had stayed
So call off the band and the big night we planned
Don’t mean to rain on your parade

Rap Section..

There’s two sides to a story you def aint the jury.
I did what I could do.
If it wasn’t enough then gather you stuff I hope the next Jon treats you to,
The life, the dream, the endless whip cream, whatever your heart desires.
I’ll cut to the chase you were from outer space, on a mission
That’s about to expire.

Verse 1
Buddy came back, in search of greener pastures
It seemed as if he cracked, and is looking for some answers
The road that led out of town, has only let him down
And now he’s chasing his past
He’s going nowhere fast

Verse 2
He paid his dues, much longer than he needed
Was never understood, no matter how he pleaded
If ever there was a man, who simply had no plan
Like a sail without a mast
He’s going nowhere fast

Chorus
This old boy has seen a few disasters
He’ll mention them in the middle of his laughter
Still with all that he’s been through
He finds the time to do
Whatever life asks
While going nowhere fast

Verse 3
His weathered hands, can paint a thousand stories
From the look in his eyes, there was(is) much more pain than glory
Now it’s so hard to see, a man so lost as he
As he runs out of gas
He’s going nowhere fast

Verse 1
All Of Life Has Been Such A Maze, Chasing Rainbows, Day After Day
As Hard As I Try, The Colors Would Fade, Just When I Needed Luck To Go My Way
I’ll Always Fight It, Even Though The Cards Never Favor Me

Chorus
Why Can’t Fate Be My Friend, Give My Soul A Chance To Mend
Who Can I Turn To When I Need Somebody
Love Has Made A Fool Of Me, For The Whole World To See
So The Question That Lives Inside My Head
Will I Ever Love Again

Verse 2
A New Day Has Come, And Happiness Is Here, Bringing Me Closer To A New Frontier
Whatever It Takes, My Heart’s Here To Say, I’ll find That Angel In The Most Heavenly Way
I Spent Life Waiting For Lady Luck To Shine On Me

Chorus
Why Can’t Fate Be My Friend, Give My Soul A Chance To Mend
Who Can I Turn To When I Need Somebody
Love Has Made A Fool Of Me, For The Whole World To See
So The Question That Lives Inside My Head
Will I Ever Love Again

Bridge
Give Me Strength, So I May Conquer
The Many Things That Life Has To Offer

Chorus
Why Can’t Fate Be My Friend, Give My Soul A Chance To Mend
Who Can I Turn To When I Need Somebody
Love Has Made A Fool Of Me, For The Whole World To See
So The Question That Lives Inside My Head
Will I Ever Love Again

Verse 1
Every time I Close My Eyes, Life Hands Me A New Surprise
Now Hear I Stand, A Lucky Man
And It Has Taken Me A While, But Now I Sit Back And Smile
I Look At You, And See A Future Too
It’s The Little Things You Do
That Make Me Wanna Spend My Life With You

Verse 2
There’s No Reason There’s no Rhyme, For When A Man Knows It’s Time
To Turn The Tide And Make Two Worlds Collide
So I Think It’s For The Best, That we Forget About The Rest
And Spend Our Days, Growing A Thousand Ways
It’s The Little Things You Do
That Make Me Wanna Spend My Life With You

Chorus
You’ve Given Me Reasons, To Keep On Believing
That Loving You Is All I Need To Do
And Even The Heavens, Could Find No Questions
They Simply Know It’s True, That I’m In Love With You

Verse 3
Now Our Journey’s Just Begun, With Our Vows All Said and Done
It’s Everything, I Thought It Would Be
With You Here By My Side, I’m The Proudest Man Alive
Life Couldn’t Be, A bigger Thrill For Me
Cause It’s The Little Things You Do
That Make Me Wanna Spend My Life With You

Chorus
You’ve Given Me Reasons, To Keep On Believing
That Loving You Is All I Need To Do
And Even The Heavens, Could Find No Questions
They Simply Know It’s True, That I’m In Love With You

So I Ask The Stars Above, Is This What Dreams Are Made Of
And With The World On A String, It Still Won’t Mean Anything
Cause It’s The Little Things You Do
That Make Me Wanna Spend My Life With You

Intro
DARK AND DREAMY, SIX FEET TALL
WITH EYES THAT SPARKLED LIKE A CRYSTAL BALL
YOU CHARGED THE STAGE FROM CLEAR ACROSS THE ROOM
I ALMOST DROPPED THE MICROPHONE
FORGOT THE WORDS ,MY MIND WAS BLOWN
THEN I SANG THE SONG LIKE I WROTE IT JUST FOR YOU

V2
I PLAYED THE GAME BUT NEVER WED
I CHOSE THE SINGLE LIFE INSTEAD
I WAS ALWAYS SEARCHIN’ FOR THE NEXT BEST THING
BUT THEN ONE NIGHT MY GUARD WAS DOWN
WHEN YOU CAME CRUZIN’ THROUGH THE CLUB IN TOWN
YOU STOLE MY HEART THE REST WAS HISTORY

CH
I FOUND THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IT’S CRAZY
YOU’RE A 10 OUT OF 10 BABY
I NEVER THOUGHT THIS DAY WOULD EVER COME
HEAD OVER HEALS I’VE FALLIN
NOW THERE’S NO TURNING BACK I’M ALL IN
IT’S PLAIN TO SEE IT’S DESTINY
MY LOVE

V3
BEEN TO PARIS BEEN TO ROME
I FLEW AROUND THE WORLD BUT ALWAYS FELT ALONE
NOW I GOT ALL I NEED BABY RIGHT HERE AT HOME
I HOPE HE’S IN FOR THE LONG HAUL
I’VE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY I’M THE QUEEN OF THE BALL
NOW I THINK I FINALLY FOUND MY MAN
ONCE AND FOR ALL

CH
I FOUND THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IT’S CRAZY
YOU’RE A 10 OUT OF 10 BABY
I NEVER THOUGHT THIS DAY WOULD EVER COME
HEAD OVER HEELS I’VE FALLEN
NOW THERE’S NO TURNING BACK I’M ALL IN
IT’S PLAIN TO SEE IT’S DESTINY
LOOKIN’ OUT FOR YOU AND ME
IT’S PLAIN TO SEE IT’S DESTINY
MY LOVE

I looked back and gaze
At the love that we had
It’s so hard to finally
Admit to love back.
Conclusions, illusions
It seems so sad
To go on from here
Without you.

The promise is broken
And all that remains
Our ideas and wishes
Only hiding the pain.
Forever was never
Our time or place
So let’s move on slow
and all that we know.

Let’s say goodbye, say goodbye
and step into tomorrow
and leave behind feelings of sorrow.
Let’s say goodbye, say goodbye
and find a cure for both our broken hearts.

Each instance the distance
Became harder to bear
Your words left me empty
But I know that you care.
What happened to the passion
We always knew It’s gone, oh so gone.

Let’s say goodbye, say goodbye
and step into tomorrow
and leave behind feelings of sorrow.
Let’s say goodbye, say goodbye
and find a cure for both our broken hearts.

A love so strong
It can easily be wrong
and only now can we see it
Let’s say goodbye and free it

Let’s say goodbye, say goodbye
and step into tomorrow
and leave behind feelings of sorrow.
Let’s say goodbye, let’s say goodbye
and find a cure for both our broken hearts.

Verse 1
You came and stole my heart, just like a work of art
A breath of magic air, that filled the clouds above
With all that we’ve been through, we still deny the truth
When we change our minds, a thousand times, and wish it all away

Verse 2
Love came naturally to everyone but me
I played the role so well but couldn’t land the part
I never tried so hard, but should it be so hard
That’s what I ask myself, each second of every hour of each day

Chorus
So give me one reason why this fairytale must end
When did we decide to put this love aside
We gave up believing in each other’s arms one night
I can only hope that what we did was right
It makes no sense to me, a love so meant to be
Could fall apart

Verse 3
Now here we stand again, the world’s two greatest friends
Counting on time to bring some meaning to it all
And if by chance one day, that I can’t stay away
I’ll be hoping you, can take me to, a place I once called home

Chorus
So give me one reason why this fairytale must end
When did we decide to put this love aside
We gave up believing in each other’s arms one night
I can only hope that what we did was right
It makes no sense to me, a love so meant to be
Could fall apart

There’s never been a better time,
to smell the roses drink the wine.
So raise your glass and make that toast
And tell the ones you love the most

Speak your mind, don’t make them ask
Cause life has a way of changing fast
There is no gift under that tree
That gives the gift of love more honestly

CHORUS
So Open your heart, unlock the door
Give all your loves ones a little bit more
Bring in the new year like never before
Go ahead and Shine, and say I Love you this time

The tree’s all trimmed awaiting gifts
From the man in red , St Nicholas
There is no room upon his sled
For all the things you left unsaid

The best gift you could give this year
Is telling them you love them dear
Make sure to say it every day
And never let the moment slip away

CHORUS
So Open your heart, unlock the door
Give all your loves ones a little bit more
Bring in the new year like never before
Go ahead and Shine, and say I Love you this time

Verse

I thought I knew my Girl, Like no one else in the world

How could I be so blind to what was on her mind

I thought I knew the deal, then everything turned surreal

With a smile on her face she threw down an ace and walked out the door

Chorus

Now I played, unafraid, because love never felt like this

All this time, on cloud nine, It won’t be easy to forget her kiss

I can’t stop, what life’s gonna do, this one came from out of the blue

I thought I knew

Verse 2

I thought I knew the dance, it turned into a game of chance

It’s all upside down, and now we’re the talk of town

I thought I knew the score, she played me like never before

And without a trace , she began to erase the best times of my life

Chorus

Now I played, unafraid, because love never felt like this

All this time, on cloud nine, It won’t be easy to forget her kiss

I can’t stop, what life’s gonna do, this one came from out of the blue

I thought I knew

Bridge

You and me were supposed to be

Making love and history

There would have been much more to see

If you didn’t flip that switch on me

Chorus

Now I played, unafraid, because love never felt like this

All this time, on cloud nine, It won’t be easy to forget her kiss

I can’t stop, what life’s gonna do, this one came from out of the blue

I thought I knew

Verse 1
Come to my show tonight if you’re around

I want to see the gang one last time before I head out of town

Time to pack the car with this ole here guitar

Now I got one more story left to tell you down at the bar

Chorus
Now you’ll be seeing my name

In lights this year

Singing my songs for the whole world to hear

So Say goodbye to my tip jar

Say goodbye to your local star

Verse 2

You were always there, I never felt alone

When I was on that stage barely drinking age you made feel right at home

So many years of throwing shit against that wall

Now it’s start’in to stick, like a magic trick we finally fooled them all

Chorus
Now you’ll be seeing my name

In lights this year

I’ll be singing my songs for the whole world to hear

So Say goodbye to my tip jar

Say Goodbye to your local star

Bridge
You always knew that I would make it

(You said)It’s a matter of time kid, just be patient

You were right all along it just

Took the right song now I’m

Right where I wanna be

So turn the lights down and put that spot on me
