Just Beyond The Headlights

© 2012 Mark Cote

I was dreaming just the other day
of the things that we might say
on the day we meet
just outside my dreams

perfumed moonlight tasting so sweet
with a beauty I cannot yet see
just around the bend
until I reach the end

(chorus) Out on the shoreline
                  just beyond my reach
                  in my daydreams
                  forever it seems
                  in every sunset I never forget
                  out on this road somewhere in the night
                  just beyond my headlights

Leave your calling card here in my heart
dreams of tomorrow is a kind of art
only love can bring
painted by angel wings

Thought I caught a glimpse of you today
or was it the dawn's morning rays
that give me hope
and keep my heart afloat

(chorus)

A Day Without Your Love

© 2013 Mark Cote

With a sparkle in her eye
even when she does not smile
she shines...

Cupid came along
said this love it won't be wrong
not this time...

no starless sky above
or a day without your love
for me

in a gentle caring touch
never knew love meant so much
to me....

reaching in my soul
she already knows
she feels...

no starless sky above
or a day without your love
for me

(chorus) she just makes me fly
                  like Springtime through the night
                  I'm free...
                  I'm blinded by your love
                  and taking this chance
                  I can't see...
                  a day without your love
                  the stars won't shine above for me

(instrumental)
 (chrorus)

a day without your love
the stars won't shine above for me

Alternate Yesterday

She keeps her eye on her day to day
sweeps the thought to the corner of her mind
he dreams of love in a heart-felt moon
and the warmth he hopes he will find
in another yesterday
an alternate yesterday
another place and time...

she has no time for such idle dreams
to fantasize what could not be
his romantic heart knows that it's true
maybe in some other reality
in another yesterday
an alternate yesterday
another place and time...

(chorus) dreams don't ask you why
                  they just show you how it could be
                  it, could, be...
                  when two worlds collide
                  there is so much for two souls to see...
                  in another yesterday
                  an alternate yesterday
                  another place and time...

(instrumental)
(chorus)

 in another yesterday
 an alternate yesterday
 another place and time...

You Get To Me

© 2013 Mark Cote

Little bird in the Spring
happy with each day
gently dancing flapping wings
like the angels when they play

talking in a soft voice
whisper in my ear
no my heart had no choice
so subtle and sincere

(chorus)  I... could listen to you talk all day
                  I... don't know you have a way
                  to get to me
                  but girl you're like the magic in a song
                  and my heart just plays along
                  I could listen to you talk all day
                  you get to me
     
summer rain feels so warm
when you're by my side
hidden love has been reborn
this I cannot hide

sending out a message
on a dove to you
with my heart expressing
with love from me to you

(chorus)
