Starlight Serenade

Just a little starlight
you and me
that is all I really need
Quiet, slow and real
I love how you make me feel

Tranquil, supine repose
Let's explore where this could go
I breathe easy
You make me feel at home
Just a little longer
I don't want to go

Starlight
you and me
Is this how life's supposed to be
The world goes by
and here we lay
enchanted by this
Starlight serenade

What Would I Do

What would I do
if you
just went away?
If I were alone
would I be okay?
How can I know
which path to take?
What if I made a mistake?

Oh how I wish
there was a sign!
Something to help
make up my mind.

I need a change!
I need it now!
Somewhere!
Somehow!

Why must every day
leave me confused?
Should I run away
or stay here with you?

What would I do
if you
and I parted ways?
If I were alone
would I be okay?

Can't Be Caged

(I suppose this one is much more "rock" inspired than the rest of my songs.)  :)


You wanna tell me,
wanna tell me what to do?
You wanna make me,
make me love (you)?
You wanna keep me,
wanna make me stay?
Baby don't you know
that I can't be caged?
Noooo I won't be caged!

Oh baby baby
can't you see?
If you want my love
you gotta set me free!

Can't hold me back!
You won't keep me down!
You'd better watch out now
cause I don't mess around!

You can't cage me!
You won't keep me!
Baby don't you know?
If you want me to stay,
that I,
I can't be caged!
Noooo I won't be caged!
