Sometimes We're Wrong But We're Always Right

girl asks the boy what will your love guarantee
is it filled with wonder is it filled with purity
girl said to boy will my world keep spinning 'round
is it an endless summer or will it all just tumble down

the boy knowing he can't see in the night
said sometimes we're wrong but we're always right

the girl asks the boy what if at times we disagree
what if it seems summer dreams aren't meant to be
girl looks at boy while they just sit on the fence
am I asking too much am I making it too tense

the boy says even if we fuss and fight
sometimes we're wrong but we're always right

(instrumental)

girl asks the boy what I'm not in perfect health
tell me now boy what if I'm not blessed with wealth
girl looks at boy wonders can this love be true
after all these years after all that I've been through

boy says sometimes the clouds aren't always white
and sometimes we're wrong but we're always right

Not Until The Day

We all have a dark cloud
we've all had lonely nights
but as sure as the sun's gonna break the night
we'll see the light

we've all cried a river
we've all felt the shiver
of a heart broke in two when love's taken from you
we all see the light
yeah, we see the light

(chorus) but not for tonight
                  not until the day
                  as I cry in the dark it's my way to pray
                  not for tonight
                  not until the day
                  I'll be alright by tomorrow as I find a way
                  but not until the day

we can't bring it all back
the way it once was
if they can't see you without some clouded view
they won't see the light

We learn by the new dawn
what the dark was about
when something's taken away something's better for you
then we see the light
yeah, we see the light

(chorus)

Leap Of Faith

when you think all hope is lost
don't let it get to you
you can't afford the cost
I know you'll make it through

so you wanna get away
when the shadows claw and bite
they get darker every day
But I know you see the light

(chorus) so take a deep breath
                  take a leap of faith
                  I will never let you fall....
                  so won't you lean on me
                  baby can't you see
                  you're gonna stand tall...

from a world you've known
if you trust in me
to the great unknown
it's not a fantasy

(chorus)

Is Somewhere Alright With You

© 2012 Mark Cote

we've thought about this for a long time
and we've talked a lot about it too
I know my heart's been on the fence
but I'm ready to take that jump with you

(chorus) Is somewhere alright
                  is somewhere alright with you
                  tell me tonight
                  when the moment is right
                  is somewhere still alright with you

you made my heart stop and take a breath
didn't know I even had one left, girl
I know my heart's been on the fence
but I'm ready to take that jump with you

(chorus)
(instrumental)

and if you feel the same as we did
I wish that we had done this before
now neither one is on the fence
and I'm ready to take that jump with you

(chorus)

Just Beyond The Headlights

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

© 2013 Mark Cote

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...
