"Again"

Composed and performed by Test of Will

Sunlight is crashing amongst the waves
These ships are shining silver and gray
Nowhere to run to; a silent stray
But I’m seeing where my love will lead today

I’m coming back again
And the sea’s my only friend
And I’m searching with the tide
But it never goes away
Seeing where my love will lead today
Again

I’m searching for something
I can’t look back the other way
I know where I’m going
All that I can do is stay

I’m coming back again
And the sea’s my only friend
And I’m searching with the tide
But it never goes away
Seeing where my love will lead today

I’m coming back again
And the sea’s my only friend
And I’m searching with the tide
But it never goes away
Seeing where my love will lead today
Again

"What's New"

Composed byJohnny Burke & Bob Haggart
Performed by NuBlend

Seeing you is simply grand

What’s new?
How is the world treating you?
You haven’t changed a bit
Lovely as ever, I must admit

What’s New?
How did that romance come through?
We haven’t met since then
Gee, but it’s to see you again

What’s new?
Probably I’m boring you
But seeing you is grand
And you were sweet to offer your hand

I understand
Adieu
Pardon my asking what’s new?
Of course you couldn’t know
I haven’t changed
I still love you so

What’s new?
Probably I’m boring you
But seeing you is grand
And you were sweet to offer your hand
I understand

Adieu
Pardon my asking what’s new
Of course, you couldn’t know
I haven’t changed
I still love you so

I still love you so
Love you so

"You Were Gone"

Composed and performed by Darby Hughes

Common is profane
Contempt is breeding
As it all becomes so plain
Maybe that’s what you’d have been
If you’d stuck around here

But you were gone
Long before familiarity could do his work on you
So you’ll stay just the same
More like a memory
Less like reality

It’s been about a year
The pictures in my head
Have all but disappeared
Maybe it wouldn’t kill me
If you’d come around here

But you were gone
Long before familiarity could do his work on you
So you’ll stay, just the same
With less than a memory
Less like a memory
More like I never knew you

"Baby C'mon"

Composed and performed by Honore

It’s about that time when I think about nothin’ else but you
I really can’t explain but it’s got me goin’ head over heels for you
Just to know what you wanna be here with me
Just to know that you wanna get close to me
It makes me feel so good inside when you’re lookin’ deep into my eyes
Now first let me set the scene
It’s just you and me
And we got nowhere to go
So you best believe it’s the perfect time for me to let my feelings show
‘cause all I wanna do is make you see, don’t worry girl it’s only me
Gonna take my time, keep you satisfied, make you feel alright
Make you feel all right

So Baby C’mon Baby C’mon let me know just whatcha do
It’s about me and you
Baby C’mon Baby C’mon just let me know what you like
Baby C’mon Baby C’mon let me know just do what you wanna do stop wasting time
Baby C’mon Baby C’mon cause I wanna keep you satisfied

My heart is beatin’ fast hopin’ I can last so I concentrate on you
You don’t understand I’ve been waiting for the day when I’d be one with you
The day when our two bodies collide
So buckle on up and enjoy the ride
‘cause I’m gonna make you feel like you’ve never felt before tonight
‘Cause all I wanna do is make you see don’t worry girl it’s only me
Gonna take my time keep you satisfied make you feel all right
Make you feel all right girl, c’mon

So Baby C’mon Baby C’mon let me know whatcha wanna do
It’s about me and you
Baby C’mon Baby’ C’mon let me know
Just to what you wanna do stop wasting time
Baby C’mon Baby C’mon cause I wanna keep you satisfied

We can set this thing off right tonight
We’ll burn some incense and some candlelight
You’ve got to open up to me
Tell me all your fantasies
‘Cause I’m only here to satisfy

"What Do You Do?"

Composed & performed by Ron Suffredini

Every time I see a pretty fact I seem to lose my place
Something seems to shut me down
It’s like she’s looking into my soul and I have no control
She must know that I’m no angel

And then I find the strength within to walk right up to her
But what do you do?

When pretty eyes so blue look the other way
Is there something I can say, is there yet another way
Is there anything at all to save me from the fall
And keep my fragile heard from breaking?

It’s the hardest thing these days and it’s something we all fact
It’s tough to get to know someone
Knowing that there’s no history at all, no reason to be calling
And everything you say is suspect

I’ve got to fid the strength within to walk right up to her
But what do you do?

When pretty eyes so blue look the other way
Is there something I can say, is there yet another way
Is there anything at all to save me from the fall
And keep my fragile heart from breaking?
What do you do…

I look straight into her eyes, she turns her gaze away
Is it something that she read in the lines upon my face
I’m nothing, no how and nowhere with her…
What do you do?

When pretty eyes so blue look the other way
Is there something I can say, is there yet another way
Is there anything at all to save me from the fall
And keep my fragile heart from breaking?
