Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
You think I'm no good, well I know I've been bad
Took you to a place, now you can't get back
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad

Walked together down a dead end street
We were mixing the bitter with the sweet
Don't try to figure out what we might of had
Just two shots of happy, one shot of sad

I'm just a singer, some say a sinner
Rolling the dice, not always a winner
You say I've been lucky, well hell I've made my own
Not part of the crowd, but not feeling alone

Under pressure, but not bent out of shape
Surrounded, we always found an escape
Drove me to drink, but hey that's not all bad
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad

Guess I've been greedy, all of my life
Greedy with my children, my lovers, my wife
Greedy for the good things as well as the bad
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad

Maybe it's just talk, saloon singing
The chairs are all stacked, the swinging's stopped swinging
You say I hurt you, you put the finger on yourself
Then after you did it, you came crying for my help

Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
I'm not complaining, baby I'm glad
You call it a compromise, well what's that
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad

(W. Hector / R. Smith)

Well… Remember when Moses stopped to part the sea
Walking on water down in Galilee
And the changing of water into wine, that no one else could do
Well… My little miracle is you

The mightiest king with magic in his touch
Everything turned to gold and such
Well.. you must be the queen of alchemy, you change me through and through
Well My little miracle is you

Magical mystical, I wouldn't miss it all
All of the things that you do
I made a wish before, wished on that star before
Someone to love me like you do

I remember the bolt that came out of the blue
And I remember the first time I laid eyes on you
And the stars they dance inside my head, Baby that's when I knew
My little miracle is you

Magical mystical, I wouldn't change it all
All of the things that you do
I made a wish before, wished on that star before
Someone to love me like you do

I remember the bolt that came out of the blue
And I remember the first time I laid eyes on you
And the stars they dance inside my head, Baby that's when I knew

(W. Hector / R. Smith)

You're cold as Ice, Dark as night, like a thorn left in my mind
So why should I still long for you
A mistress so impossible, so cruel yet wonderful
Wise men have lost their wits over you

You make me believe you're back for good each time
Then you go and when you leave
You take my pride but I need you still
A man can need love but love never will
You're cold as Ice, cold as ice

And even when you're close to me, you're still a whisper of a dream
What am I to hold on to.
No loyalty in your design, so many lovers left behind
But even though I see right through you

You make me believe you're back for good each time
Then you go and when you leave
You take my pride but I need you still
A man can need love but love never will
You're cold as Ice, cold as ice

You make me believe you're back for good each time
Then you go and when you leave
You take my pride but I need you still
A man can feel love but love never will
You're cold as Ice, but I love you
And I always will
… I guess I always

I sit and stare, and empty chair, another day without you
Each one for me, can only be, another day without you
The tick and tock of every clock seems so long
No good and bad when all you have is gone

I put the street beneath my feet, so not to think about you
But every sound and every sight unlocks a picture of you
Each memory a rush of joy and pain
If only I could hold you once again!

This is the lonely road
This is the lonely road
No signs to lead you home
There's no lights to tell you not go
And nowhere is the only place that it goes
The only place that everybody knows
The Lonely road.

And if we laughed and if we cried we did it all together
It never once crossed my mind it wouldn't last forever
One mistake, that's all it takes and then
You turn around, you're on your own again

This is the lonely road
This is the lonely road
No signs to lead you home
There's no lights to tell you not go
And nowhere is the only place that it goes
The only place that everybody knows
The Lonely road.

INSTRUMENTAL

One mistake, that's all it takes and then
You turn around, youre on your own again

This is the lonely road
This is the lonely road
No signs to lead you home
There's no lights to tell you not go
And nowhere is the only place that it goes
The only place that everybody knows

(Lowis / Lee / Dusk)

He plays the game
Like a moth that finds love in a flame
He's flying high
But desire will burn him alive

This is the price you pay
When you're heart is fooling your eyes

She plays the game
where the hunter turns into the prey
He wants her still
But the black widow's beauty will kill

Caught in the tender trap
Where the story of heartache begins

What makes that man gamble all on love
He's played but never won
The roulette he knows is of the Russian kind
Watch out… 'cause love's a loaded gun

They play the game
Win or lose they're damned either way
He ends up alone
Cause medusa turns hearts into stone

She knows there's no way out
But made him believe he could win

What makes that man gamble all on love
He's played but never won
The roulette he knows is of the Russian kind
Watch out… 'cause love's a loaded gun

What makes that man gamble all on love
He's played but never won
The roulette he knows is of the Russian kind

(Anderson / Nichols)

Cry sad tears, then dry your eyes and mend your heart
Life's too short to waste sweet time, love is gone now you must start
Deep blue eyes smile at you across the room
You say that his brown, and he is not the guy that you once knew

Don't go looking for, that heart you loved before
You cant replace him with the same kind of face
Don't dream that sweet old dream. Its not the final scene
Be open to somebody else, someone new.

Change brings fear as clouds will always bring the rain,
But when it finally clears their sun will shine to make it bright again
Let love in, you might feel it deeper still,
But if you hide away, I swear you never will

Don't go looking for, that heart you loved before
You cant replace him with the same kind of face
Don't dream that sweet old dream. Its not the final scene
Be open to somebody else, someone new.

Don't go looking for, that heart you loved before

(Bart Howard)

Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what Spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand!
In other words, darling, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true!

(John Lennon / Paul McCartney)

Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try girl
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
Please please me like I please you.
You don't need me to show the way love
Why do I always have to say love
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
Please please me like I please you.
I don't want to sound complaining
But you know there's always rain in my heart.
I do all the pleasing with you
It's so hard to reason with you.
Oh yeah why do you make me blue.
Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try girl
Come on, come on, come on, come on,

(Robin Smith / Mark Niedzwiedz)

When love is young
The tallest tree
Is there to climb
Is evergreen
In summer fields we dream our dreams
When love is young

When love is young
The air is sweet
Forbidden fruit is all we eat
An august moon is your conceit
When love is young

These are precious years
Such intoxicating years
When our innocence slowly comes undone
Hearts are spilt on purest silk
When love is young

INSTRUMENTAL

These are precious years
Such intoxicating years
When our innocence slowly comes undone
Hearts are spilt on purest silk
When love is young

When love is young
The glass is full
No empty chairs, no silent walls
Like warriors, we conquer all
When love is young

These are precious years
Such intoxicating years
When our innocence slowly comes undone
Hearts are spilt on purest silk
These precious years
These precious years
Never will grow old

(Matt Dusk / Terrance Sawchuk / Erica Emm / Ron Lipatta)

Can I have a moment of your time
And leave this far behind
Can you find the time to take a chance
Just walk with me tonight

Even though the rain must fall
Baby that will pass
Listen to the words I say
I've saved them just for you

You're safe with me tonight
And Always
As sure as this full moon
And Always

Lets sit around and shed those lonely tears
While days turn into years

Even though the rain must fall
Baby that will pass
Listen to the words I say
I've saved them just for you

You're safe with me tonight
And Always
As sure as this full moon
And Always

Nothing lasts not the good times or the bad
They all just become the past
Sometimes your heart can turn on dime
What made you cry will one day make you smile

You're safe with me tonight
And Always
As sure as this full moon
You're safe with me tonight

(Smith / Niedzwiedz)

Life Goes On like a carousel,
Life goes on a never-ending tale
Of love reborn, from the cradle warm
A web is spun for every mother's son

Life goes on like a spinning wheel
Life goes on never standing still
The gods decide how blessed am I
The days to come for every mother's son

And these footprints in the sand maybe nothing grand
But if we leave a mark in somebody's heart, what more can I say
Than I was a king for a day
Once the web is spun, for every mother's son

Life goes on like a tapestry
Life goes on each thread a part of me
That master plan of who I am
A day will come for every mother's son

And these footprints in the sand maybe nothing grand
But if we leave a mark in somebody's heart, what more can I say
Than I was a king for a day
Once the web is spun, for every mother's son

A thorn a winter rose, some highs and then some lows
That's the way it's spun, for every mother's son

(Matt Dusk / Terry Sawchuk)

Just Five minutes to your house
It took five hours to say goodbye
Five weeks to wonder why
And five months of just rain

I had a path
That led me home
It gathered no moss
But now I'm alone

There was five minutes without air
Five hours without meaning
Five weeks without insight
And Five months 'till I sing

No simple words
No warning signs
To pause for justice
No peace for a while

Its been a year
I see that you've called
I've braved my first winter
This chapter is closed

I'm gonna fly
Out of this town
I'll love again in time
