That Girl From Queens

© 2018 Mark Cote

(chorus) Never met a girl
                     beat all you've ever seen
                     like that girl
                     that girl
                     that girl from Queens

uptown
downtown
knows what to say
never lets the thunder
get in her way

hailing a cab
or healing my heart
wherever we go
we're never apart

oh, my, my
she's the best girl I found
why, oh, why
she lifts my heart off the ground

(chorus)
(instrumental)

oh, my, my
she clears a cloudy day
why, oh, why
in my heart she will stay

(chorus)

Feeling The Richness

sell myself short of what I could be
lonely at the top
doesn't matter long as you're with me
hope it will never stop
may not fit in with ones at work
but I come home to you
now I know really what it's worth
so I will make it through

(chorus) feeling the richness
                  I feel rich when I'm with you
                  feeling the richness
                  it pulls me through
                  feeling the richness
                  I feel rich when I'm with you
                  feeling the richness
                  it pulls me through

talking to ones who don't really care
like water on a wing
maybe it's so I'll have time to spare
with the love you bring

(chorus)
(instrumental)

maybe I wasn't meant to fit in at all
another point of view
so I'd appreciate what it means
only to be with you

(chorus)

Where You Are

do the leaves still change
in the fall
can you hear
the mourning dove call
in that place
I've never been
I'll visit someday
I don't know when

can you read a rainbow
the colors we can't see
do I miss you more
than you are missing me
tell me

(chorus) what is it like where you are
                  do you follow your dreams
                  do you capture the stars
                  do you wonder awake when you try to sleep
                  or is the feeling of love all you need
                  tell me
                  what is it like where you are

do you touch the stars
from up in the clouds
my heart cries each day
since you're not around

you're in waterfalls
and whispering winds
when I can't seem to start
you help me begin
tell me

(chorus)

you're the part of me
I won't let go
a part of my nights
that will always glow

It's Who I Am

you know there's a sunset
people always chase
it's just a merry-go-round
not a win or lose race

in the midnights
she is holding you
she'll carry your heart and soul
to help you just make it through

(chorus) it's not the dark
                     it's not the light
                     it's who I am
                     not yesterday
                     maybe today
                     it's who I am
                     who I am

my heart bleeds in ink
on an empty page
while some shouted for more
on a bright crowded stage

when the music
is your only friend
sometimes you have to hang on
'til the tunnel's come to an end

(chorus)

hey there sisters
are you looking down
seems the world's lost it's heart
since you were around

it's a covered bridge
that keeps me holding on
and I walk it with you
as we gaze at the dawn

(chorus)
