Going To The House

© 2017 Mark Cote

The end of the day that's were they go
to a place that only they know
has to be big 'cause everybody is there
I've never been so what do I wear?

(chorus) must be a celebration
                  don't need an invitation
                  seems like everybody knows
                  seems like everybody goes
                  they're going
                  going
                  going to the house

Hear them say but no one says a word
But I had to ask and this is what I heard

over yonder
don't know where
over yonder
over there

(chorus)
(instrumental)

way down south in an uncharted town
is where they live and where they're found
so gather y'all in a pickup truck
never too fast or you might get stuck

(chorus)

As Long As You're In My Heart

some like to drive in cars
drive real far
some like to dance in bars
think their a star
really matter
as long as you're in my heart

some spend their time
and every dime
striving for wealth
an untouched shelf
doesn't really matter
as long as you're in my heart

(chorus) in my heart
                  that's where you are
                  running so high
                  running so far
                  feeling butterflies
                 with every step that you take
                 it's all that matters
                 as long as you're in my heart

raining outside
raining within
living in a fog
can't seem to begin
doesn't really matter
as long as you're in my heart

(chorus)
(instrumental)

Salt In My Coffee

got the words
knows what to say
dripping sweeter than honey
even today

moving around
nobody knows
thief in the night
stealing hearts as she goes

hey, when you slip
when you fall
if they knew they wouldn't help you at all

(chorus) salt in my heart and salt in my eyes
                     though you give me salt in my coffee
                     you give them sugar in their tea

can do no wrong
you're so sly
fooling even my family
you're living a lie

playing around
just for fun
you're halo's too bright
it's drowning the sun

hey, when you slip
when you fall
if they knew they wouldn't help you at all

(chorus)

You Make Me Believe

If I could count the million reasons why
you were brought to me
I don't think I would even try
you mean much more you see

(chorus)  You make me believe
                     that I can soar higher
                     you make me believe
                     I can dance on a wire
                     you make me believe
                     believe in myself
                     make me believe
                     believe how I felt
                     you make me believe


when I up and took a leap of faith
unsure where I would go
you always seem to bring my spirits up
how do you always know

(chorus)

If you call me love
then I'll be love
If you call me sun
then I'll shine above....

(instrumental)

(chorus)
