It Was Just A Miracle

© 2013 Mark Cote

Cry in the night I heard your call
with gentle wings I won't let you fall
heart driven by thanks into love
neither of us were thinking of

held your hands 'til you were strong
never wanting this feeling to be gone
something that we both need
but looking back my heart it bleeds

would risk it all just to be with you
if we saw it all if we only knew

(chorus)  Can't live in your world
                  you can't live in mine
                  but something in the middle is what we find
                  when the stars collide all that I can say is
                  it was just a miracle

though I wanted you to be mine
too many pieces circle entwined
so into the shadows I will return
though my heart will forever yearn

tears are invisible in the dark
and like a dream that's where we are

(chorus)

Boys Will Be Boys

back then in our teens
brake pedals and gasoline
football rings and beauty queens
boys will be boys

t-shirt girls and cut off jeans
drive-ins we made the scene
we lived out the summer dream
boys will be boys

(chorus)  when I look back now
                  I wonder how
                  we ever made it through those years
                  through all the fun
                  through all the beer
                  we still made it
                  made it here
                  boys will be boys

muscle cars and pickup trucks
cruise the strip to try their luck
show 'em all what you've got
boys will be boys

cheap perfume and boyhood dreams
a melody a moonlit sea
my first love her and me
boys will be boys

(chorus)

Her Heart Is Not Cold It's Just Broken

© 2012 Mark Cote

Wandering
like the moon in the sky
and love is all above her

been hit hard by the dark side of life
in one way or another

(chorus) Her heart
                  her heart is not cold it's just broken
                  with the words
                  that were and were never spoken
                  don't judge what you cannot see
                  her heart is not cold it's just broken
                  If the breeze that blows is too chilly
                  you better leave
                  if you cannot see

she clings
to the spark in her heart
like a pirate's buried treasure

it sinks
deeper and deeper in the sand
almost too deep to measure

(chorus)
(instrumental)

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)
