The Warmth In My Song

© 2011 Mark Cote

It was a happy day back in 63
a silly girl looked back at me
who was to know what you'd become
who was to know you'd be so fun

you held me up when I was small
aww, I can still recall it all
remember all the fun we had
just never tell mom or dad


(chorus) but oh... when I heard the news
                the cutting of your fuse
                took my breath of life away
                and oh... it's still so hard to believe
                that you had to leave
                and we have to carry on
                you're the warmth in my song

While no one ever won your hand
you touched hearts across the land
your heart looked out more than in
We'll meet some day again

(chorus)

Lonely Did Me Wrong

© 2011 Mark Cote

You revived me
I lived in a shell
I was locked up inside
trying to hide
from how I feel

distant sunrise to
the dark of the moon
you, alone held the key
that opened that door
to what I am for...

(chorus) and lonely did me wrong
                I couldn't go on
                'til the love in a song
                 and lonely did me wrong
                 where did I belong
                'til you came along
                 and now that I see...
                 that lonely
                 did me wrong

voices around me
do not say a word
surrounded by fools
who play by the rules
don't see what it means

(chorus)

Especially On Christmas Eve

© 2011 Mark Cote

I miss the subtle
mistletoe
the winter tears
the falling snow
the gift you gave me

sleigh bell sleigh ride
starry night
the Northern lights
were really nice
as we lay together

(chorus) It's Christmas past
               'til you're my present
                within my dreams
                I miss you more
                and more each day
                especially, on Christmas Eve

the snowman tears
melt frozen hearts
it's yesterday
since we're apart
a silent Christmas tree

The snow angels
you and me
we made for
the world to see
are only a memory

(instrumental)
(chorus)

I missed the subtle
mistletoe
sleigh bell sleigh ride
in the snow
The snow angels
you and me
the Northern lights
were really nice
(fade)

Sandy's So Randy

I can see in her come hither stare
I can smell her perfume flow in the air
she don't care what others think
she smiles at me and givers a wink

hang a card on the door, we'll be alright
all through the day and all through the night

(chorus) sandy's so randy
                randy for me
                sandy's so randy in the middle of the night
                she's got the kind of love that get's into me
                sandy's so randy
                she's all that I need

I love the way she's wearing those jeans
The way she walks I know what that means
She don't need the other guys
they stare at her, she'll pass them by

(instrumental)

hang a card on the door, we'll be alright
all through the day and all through the night

(chorus)

she loves everything about me
she even sees things I do not see
she's so silly
she's so sweet
nothing else can compete

(chorus)

Let Me Take You On A Rewind

(chorus) Let me take you on a rewind..
                back into time
                Jane Cool glasses and a bottle of wine
                rewind..
                45's, late night drives, drive-in movies, all that jive
                let me take you on a rewind

from the hustle and bustle of the day to day
and the tossing and turning in the night
I know a place where we can go
where it never rains and it never snows

Girl, I bet you'd like to take me too
to sparkled moments in your arms
It's not really so far away
we'll go tomorrow, we'll go today

(chorus)
(instrumental)

drink in the summer of this dream with me
taste the magic in what it brings
come along, come along with me
if even only in your mind

(chorus)

A Dreamer Like Me

© 2011 Mark Cote

In this bubble I'm living in
can't see those who are looking in
and watching imagination grow
and what the future holds
for a dreamer like me

I keep waiting 'til that day
and when the clouds have washed away
seen the light within myself shine
found the me I was looking to find
for a dreamer like me

(chorus) A dreamer like me....
                what will it be
                the dream that I see
                a dreamer like me....
                see where I belong
                the words of a song
                knowing
                I'm growing
                one day I will be with
                dreamers like me

When the sun rises pink and blue
the horizon comes into view
eyes welcome me through the door
and the hands now reach for
a dreamer like me

(chorus)

In Sydney

© 2011 Mark Cote

Emotional breeze swept us away
a sunrise on a rainy day
dark clouds always reach for the sun
the tears we cried reach for the fun
in Sydney

 across the pond Cupid's arrow was cast
 will it go or will it last
 blinded by love from the start
 to one love I left my heart
 in Sydney

(chorus) Forever with me, in Sydney
                forever with me
                the dream I dreamed, in Sydney
                the dream I dreamed
                In my dreams you are forever with me
                in Sydney

it can warm a soul it can burn a heart
sometimes lover's fall a part
the heart that loves can sometimes burn
today just another lesson learned
 in Sydney

(chorus)
