When the Music Starts
01:17

Rising goes the curtain song
I've held my breath for far too long
And here a chance has come along
Let's take it now before it's gone
Welcome to the notes and chords
From tuned-vibration sounding boards
And to the songs I learned by rote
I'll play them too, and I'll leave no note
And when the music starts, will I know what to say
Without any doubt standing in the way?
One day soon I might sincerely try
But I can't find words to fit my heart's reply

An Honest Mistake
02:39
|

I thought I heard a song in the evening
And I thought the woodwinds had carried the tune
Playing a melody that I knew
And I thought it was you
I thought I'd been in love for the last time
And I thought I'd left what was good in the past
And as so many dreams came so fast
All I knew couldn't last
But oh, it was an honest mistake
I can't rue or regret it
I can't find fault with the errs of my heart
In your case
Am I the first to be fooled
Or the last to admit it?
I freely admit my mistakes
Won't remain in the past
And when I took a walk through a garden
With all of the flowers in varying hues
There was a quiet song coming through
And I thought it was you

I wrote a song of love
I wasn't really sure
I wasn't in-the-know
I didn't know the score
I played it when we met
And how could it be true?
It felt like all the words
Were always meant for you
But a sail is a rag
When the wind doesn't blow
And a seed like a stone
Without water to grow
They were words from my heart
And I felt they were true
But they didn't make sense
Till I sang them for you
And had it been my wish
The feeling to describe
I doubt that on that night
I could have even tried
But if life is like a stage
And I must play my part
Then it was by some grace
I knew the words by heart
As a sail is a rag
When the wind doesn't blow
And a seed like a stone
Without water to grow
They were words from my heart
And I felt they were true
But they didn't make sense
Till I sang them for you
And please don't think me false
And sentimental, too
To say before we'd met
I wrote them all for you

Time Won't Be Wasted
03:12

The Sun may pass through the sky
And hours may pass me right by
But time won't be wasted
If I waste time with you
In morning, daytime, or night
I don't need to put up a fight
'Cause time won't be wasted
If I waste time with you
Each day I start
And new loves fill my heart
But your love is better than these
With every day that is new
I hope I can spend it with you
'Cause time won't be wasted
If I waste time with you
No, time won't be wasted
If I waste time with you
The dreams that never came true
Are only the one's without you
And time won't be wasted
If I waste time with you
No, time won't be wasted
If I waste time with you

The Star of St. Angelo
03:09
|

Day was on the edge of night
When something killed the light
But that was fine with me
Set against a dying day
Some lightning bugs to light the way
Are all I really need
I followed a road of twilight 'till I hit the stars
You get to a spot that's clear, look up and there they are
And as the world was passing by, I was too amazed to wonder why Why I had never seen so many stars in all my life
Somewhere up where I can't see, is there a star for me?
'Cause oh, it won't come down
Can I tell the meaning of a love my heart keeps dreaming of
Can those words be found?
I'm thinking about the things that almost brought me down
I'm thinking about the times when no one was around
And when I thought that I was through
Well, if I only really knew
That the Star of St. Angelo was watching over you
Is it true?
