I Won't Be

© 2011 Mark Cote

no more living in the shadows
no more living in doubt
gonna see what life has in store
gonna see what it's all about

break theses ties that bind
break these chains that choke
and when the morning comes
you will never know

(chorus) I won't be your monkey wrench
                  I won't be your paper clip
                  waiting at your beckon call
                  or hung upon your hip
                  you're no more a mystery
                  and I won't be...
                  no baby I wont be

are you so clever
are you so smart
you thought you had charmed me
and fooled my heart

whose playing who
whose under the spell
I thought I knew you
you thought you knew me well

(chorus)

Magic In The Moonlight

© 2012 Mark Cote

I spent my time in the arms of summer
her breath gently on my skin
with a love like no other
I wondered where in my life she had been

In her eyes I felt her passion
like the longing in the night
although I know it may be wrong
what I felt I knew was right

(chorus) She was my magic in the moonlight
                  I was the fire in her heart
                  she gave me something to remember
                  a love I know I can't forget
                  In my heart is says it all
                  of the rise and of the fall
                  of a moment in the night

then one night like the seasons
summer changing into fall
she left without a warning
and the coldness of it all

each year I pray a reason
she'll come back to me once again
though I know a love this special
is like a million out of ten

(chorus)

A Little Bit More Than That

© 2012 Mark Cote

felt the sun as it kissed your face
or a snowy scene of winter lace
nature's love makes rainbow hues
I feel a little bit, more for you

Romeo and Juliet
had a love we can't forget
all these words I say are true
I feel a little bit more for you

(chorus) I love you just a little
                  love you just a little
                  love you just a little bit
                  a little bit more than that

                  I love you just a little
                  love you just a little
                  love you just a little bit
                  a little bit more than that


When I see you by my side
I feel so proud I cannot hide
though I'd give the world to you
I feel a little bit, more for you

In cartoon worlds and circus clowns
thinking love can't be found
from poets dreams of hearts renew
I feel a little bit, more for you

(chorus)

Whatcha Gonna Do With Me

© 2011 Mark Cote

Baby's life was so organized
even that gleam in her eye
no dotted "I" or crossing a "T"
whatcha gonna do with me

baby's life was always on time
never took the time out to smile
never did you plan about me
whatcha gonna do with me

(bridge) what beautiful wonders
                  rings sweet on the ears
                  just beyond the lines
                  just beyond the fears

(instrumental)

hiding in one of your files
happy never goes out of style
it was something you had told me
whatcha gonna do with me

(bridge)

whatcha gonna do
whatcha gonna do with me
whatcha gonna do we'll see
do I show something in you you are wanting to be
whatcha gonna do with me

This Girl's In Love

© 2012 Mark Cote

She sees his smile
she likes his style
but she's so shy

but does he know
he never shows
what's on his mind

and this girl's in love

she dreams of him
and where he's been
during the days

an office chair
she wonders where
she's in a haze

and this girl's in love

(chorus) This girl's in love love love
                  this girl's in love love love
                  what he does to her heart will he ever know
                  and this girl's in love

( instrumental)

one summer night
by moonbeam light
could she believe

he smiled at her
he walked to her
is this a dream

and this girls' in love

(chorus)

Eyes Of Saturn

© 2012 Mark Cote

Pieces of color from out of my past
your love warms the moon to a honey glow
come together forever at last
I feel it with me wherever I go

you know how to reach me wherever you are
the softness that I only dreamed I could hold
as far as the stars but as near as my heart
the warmth of the sun without you's so cold

(chorus) If I bought you a rose
                  kissed you on the nose
                 now lost in time
                 my heart is in space
                 when I see you face
                 and your gentle grin
               and oo..oo..oo.. those eyes
               those eyes of Saturn
               and oo..oo..oo.. those eyes
               those eyes of Saturn

Hold my hand and we'll walk forever
so devoted to you in so many ways
being with you through all kinds of weather
How you turned my nights into sunny days

(chorus)

It's A Hippie Day

© 2012 Mark Cote

summer dreams and paisley mornings
watch the clouds and the shapes they're forming
the dew, glistens all around
and the incense fills the air

waterfalls of colors melting
flowers smile and so it's helping
to wake, to the dawn
and live without a care

(chorus) ba da da da da it's a hippie day
                  ba da da da da it's a hippie day
                  feeling so groovy it's a sunny day
                  yeah baby, it's a hippie day

hear the music songbirds singing
walk with you you're arms I'm clinging
look, into your eyes
and it all just fades away...

(chorus)
