INTRO: “Finally It’s Me” Words & Music by Lisa Desforges I’ve skimmed the ocean’s surface oh for far too long The taste of life’s escaped me, I’ve never wallowed in its song And although I’ve been broken and my heart’s been split in two I’m awake for the first time and these feelings are all so new And I, I’ve taken bad times And now I’ll take the good times I won’t let go of what I’ve got I’m never turning back You see, you’ve unlocked the secret and suddenly I’m free I found the key to my locked heart And finally… Finally….. It’s me “The Life Song” Written by Rod Clemmons & Dwayne Arvinger I woke up this morning, everything is still the same I prayed for something new lastnight At least it’s not raining ‘gonna go back to bed now I don’t care what’s going on But the man on the radio said Go out and sing my song CHORUS I said, oh no life ain’t gonna pass me by Gonna get out today and give it one more try Gonna pull on that dress and put my high heels on Don’t come looking for me because I’ll be gone Now I’m up and dressed Feeling better than before If I only had the courage to get up and go out that door Looking at kids in the street Oh they’re having so much fun I just gotta get out of here And sing my life song CHORUS Sitting here staring out my window Watching people change is all that I do I can’t stand this thought inside me I can’t be the only one To be lost in what I’m feeling Trapped inside my own reality yeah CHORUS….end. “French Wine” Words & Music by Lisa Desforges There’s been dust on the dried up end Of my favorite pen for so long now All my words and all of my rhymes They lye hidden in my mind Buried by rust and un-use CHORUS Tous ce temps Je savais (all along I knew) Qu’ill fallait un homme comme toi (that it would take a man like you) Pour mettre la passion (to ignite the passion) Dans mon ame (in my soul) Tous ce temps Je savais (all along I knew) Qu’avec ce regard coquin (from the mischief in your eyes) Qu’ill fallait un homme comme toi (that it would take a man like you) Qui met mon coeur en feu (to set my heart on fire) You came along and you spoke to me With your foreign tongue like velvety French wine Aged to perfection your finish is smooth and long And oh so sweet And now it seems my pen has run out of ink CHORUS As I speak to you now I’m choking Not on my words but on the innuendo I secretly place beneath each one I articulate tactfully, punctuate my thoughts carefully In my own special way With a loaded gaze uncovering any ambiguous haze Leaving you lingering in and wondering about…me CHORUS…end. “Sweet Love Divine” written by Rob Desforges & Lisa Desforges Every morining you sit in the front row Staring out the window at the world we both know As your eyes they wander about I sit entranced a solit’ry lover devout Do you think about me my sweet love divine Or is this piece of your heart gone with the cold winds of time Is it something only your eyes can see Her mystic light held in your poetic fancy CHORUS And now I just need to find that one pure moment in time To link our lives together Two hearts connect with one brave line Every morning I’m longing to see Your sweet deep eyes looking in me Fulfilling my destiny The way you do in my dreams But it’s fear and it’s doubt that hinder me now And this internal conflict won’t let me go I’m weary apart from this lover Amid desolation, my heart is in need of another (extra verse omitted) It’s my nature I cannot deny So I sit and just stare into your soft eyes And I wonder how I can reveal My heart’s desire in a moment In time so surreal Bridge: In my mind I imagine Placing upon your lips The delicate warmth Of a passionate kiss CHORUS….end “The Color Red” Words & Music by Lisa Desforges You make me so happy, you’ve taught me so much You are a friend forever Somebody who’s touched my heart and my spirit In so many ways How do I tell you deeply you’ve touched my life CHORUS When we share special moments You set me free and my spirit soars And that look that you get in your eyes Tells me you know how I adore you And when we’re alone together I pray these feelings last forever ‘cuz nothing else in this world compares to the love that we share Baby you, you own this secret place deep in my heart It belongs to you Because of everything you do It’s yours always as long as you live I wanna show you how deeply you’ve touched my life CHORUS….end. “Josephine’s Heart” Words & Music by Lisa Desforges CHORUS When Josephine’s heart it did break She made a promise to herself To remain alone and build a wall of stone And look the other way Whenever a cute boy walked on by And looked at her that way The very next day she called to tell me She’d met the very last man of her dreams His name was Vincent He made her breakfast….she felt He would be different Said their I love you’s, exchanged keys And then in two weeks CHORUS Sam flashed her his smile They shared a secret A silent question meant for two She gave her answer and Like a pure moth she was Drawn to his flame She felt the pain as she got burned The same lesson relearned CHORUS She hopped on a plane for A weekend with friends Miami’s South Beach was the spot for her To let her guard down The first night at the club He bought her a drink She left with Brad, thought he’d be the one Her heart could now trust but… CHORUS….end. “Lovesick” Words & Music by Lisa Desforges I feel it inside my bones It’s crawling under my skin Your image won’t leave my head And my heart is trembling ‘cuz you have what it takes to capture my heart make me feel like never before and you do what it takes makes me long to explore your secrets hidden deep in your core… CHORUS I’m in a lovesick, heartache Hi, I wanna get to know you better ‘kind of way’(repeat) (2x) How, how do I talk to this man Whose presence I feel so strong Who’s eyes and voice make me stir I’m afraid I’ll say everything wrong ‘cuz I want you so bad I need you so much I want you in my life And if you took the time And could see me for me I know you’d want me By your side CHORUS Bridge: I wanna shed my skin with you and let you in When I look in your eyes you set my heart on fire I see you, you’re with me I think we’re meant to be CHORUS I’m in a lovesick, heartache Hi, I wish you’d ask to walk me home tonight I’m in a lovesick, heartache Hi, I wanna serve you dinner by candlelight I’m in a lovesick, heartache Hi, I wanna show you what I do to you in my dreams I’m in a lovesick, heartache Hi, I wanna spend all my time with you every
