Audrey 04:10
Before I called you up I had to be edged on. You know I hate being fixed up but everybody said you’re nice. So I picked up the phone and asked you out for Friday. Wasn’t just another date as I soon found. The door it opened slowly and what did I see? A very pretty dark haired girl looking up at me. I guess the time was right for me and my mood was right and when we kissed I felt that something special. Chorus- Audrey .Audrey. How could I know, that you’d become, such a part of me. Holding you, it’s plain to see, oh Audrey you’re the one for me. We don’t have to talk much we just trade eyes and smile. Our meeting had to be just right we’ve grown so close in a short while. I kiss you goodnight and I’ll speak to you tomorrow. Sleep well baby and dream of me. Chorus

I love you 04:00
I never thought it could happen to me. I never thought that it could be like this. Guess I just found out what love is really all about and all it took was your sweet kiss. I can’t believe t was just yesterday. ‘cause it feels like I’ve known you so long. I can’t hide the truth there’ve been other girls before But never a feeling like this, this strong. Chorus -I feel so damn good. That I’ve just got to say that something I’ve never meant before. I know it’s crazy feeling this close in such a short time can only mean my time has come. It’s real this time. I love you. I’m scared ‘cause this feeling’s so new. I just want to spend my time with you. If something happened and we couldn’t share more time together I just want to thank you for letting me know how love feels.

What can you do when the world where you live has left you and your friends unimaginative. And schools out for summer, it’s raining today. Where can you go when there’s no place to play? Chorus -Open up the wardrobe of your mind. Push away the cobwebs and you’ll find. There are more worlds than you’ll ever know. Keep dreaming and you’ll find a Narnia of your own. When you’re alone and your world it is blue. Do you sit and wonder what’s got into you? Are circles all round us are one and one two? Why should it be so it’s all up to you. A king is forever, a queen she is too. Go where your mind takes you and you’ll see it through. You’re one individual you must decide when the times right to take that magic ride. Chorus There are more worlds than you’ll ever know. Keep dreaming and you’ll find a Narnia of your own.

Just got in. Out of touch for some days and I realized that time doesn’t stop. Everything catches up to me in a short time, too short to pick up every drop. Chorus- Can’t you see? Time waits for no one. It’s got to be. Time just keeps rolling. I step back into a place that has changed, just a small bit but change has occurred. Being there would have made all the difference but I wasn’t for me the changes hurt. Chorus Children grow but we still feel the same. They get older. Where do the years go? They’ve grown up now they are adults too. Memories fill our heads and they all show

life goes on 03:36
Crying yourself to sleep really doesn’t help ease the pain. And dreams that don’t come easy are the ones that drive you insane. I can’t and won’t accept defeat. How dare you just give in? No pain that cannot be soothed if you fight it from within. Chorus- You’ve got to be strong. You’re not alone. Though it cuts so deep that you feel you can’t go on. You’ve got to be strong. You know life must go on. First you feel it, then the pain will be gone. And life goes on. Everybody feels it but you always feel alone. That hurting helpless feeling that you think is just your own. Don’t hide within your feelings, turn to the people that you love. Their help will make you see that together you can rise above Chorus

In the morning when I see you with the sleep still in your eyes you’ve no worries and no problems yet it comes as no surprise. It’s a new day dawning, sort of a fresh start. Morning sun bathes you turns you to a piece of art. Chorus -And it’s all very clear to me. It’s all very clear to me. We’re all very near to it now. And it’s all very clear to me that natures a symphony. We’ll reach it by singing along. Take a walk out in the country feel the coolness of the air. Feel the warmth of the flowers smiling at you with no care. Don’t it make you kind of wonder. Don’t it make you want to share? But your world is quite another and it seems we can’t get there. Chorus Sing along. Well come on everybody got to sing along. Singing da da da da da da, da da da da da da.

the park 06:56
I took three friends we packed my car, took two canoes and headed far up north to a place that we all love deep inside. After Le Domaine we were off again up north still, now to Lac Granet. We unloaded at 4:00 and put out to a great little island. Early the next morning we put into the water then up to the top then into the Ottawa River where we paddled the rest of the day. For two more days it was only us we saw some wildlife and said this place should be kept from the fishermen who don’t give a damn. The park is a place that is truly a treat There’s no other thing that I’d like better Than to spend an afternoon at Big Chute And stories live forever of times and things that happened while On, a canoe trip. Around our campfires we sat and talked Of other trips and portages we’ve walked. Hey how ‘bout the one at the Bourque Dam.The weather was great as we got to the rapids Below Lac Granet and the end of the circuit. We all got undressed and went in for a cool little swim Lac Grant was angry as we got upon her Three foot waves and winds said we weren’t going to Make it to the top where we started a week ago. We pulled off to a beach and waited till the wind died It was now 8:30 and the sun was gone So we paddled across in the calm and the twilight Fighting the waves on Granet or Victoria Hoping the wind’ll change and be going for ya but loving every minute of it. I would trade all I’ve got for a life in the park The sun after rain and a cold starry night You know what I’m talking about La Verendrye

Can you hear me when I’m saying that I can’t believe it’s happening this way. But I can see that you’re happy so it must be sunshine smiling down on me for everyone to see. Chorus -That I can see with my eyes what I never thought could happen. Feel with my heart what I always wanted to see. Reach out and touch so I know I’m not just dreaming. How it should be. Well it’s late now, but you’re staying. Your decisions one on which we both agree. Though I can’t see what brought this change on I’ll just say must be rainbows reaching down to me for everyone to see.

Well I put you on a plane today heading for the west coast sun. And for you I hope the sun would shine and your days would be such fun. But for me I know the office waits. I’ve got to keep on paying my dues. While you pass your days checking out LA I’ve got the Kathy’s not here blues. Well I’d love to get away from here but I doubt I’ve got the time. So I sit at home, watch the sun go down and a thought comes to my mind. Well the sun is going your way so I’ll send a message with him telling you all the news. While you pass your days checking out LA I’ve got the Kathy’s not here blues. Oh, the years have passed and the name has changed but the sentiment remains. Now it’s conventions or it’s girl’s retreats and it’s Audrey riding planes. So instead of feeling empty I just pick up my guitar and write some words for you. While you pass your days, I stay here and play. I’m with Eric writing tunes.

sad song 04:08
Old man looks up from his dying bed, sees a tear in your eye. Reaches out and says my turn is over now. He says, I’m not the only one you know. This world still has its problems but I’m free. Close friend cut down in his growing years. Still don’t know what to say. Letter written just before the end said I’m not the only one you know. This world will just keep going once I’m gone. When my time comes I know I’ll not regret the past. Please don’t cry over me. I went out and lived my good times to the end. But I’m not the only one you know. This world will just keep going once I’m gone.

visions 06:36
Morning and a cold wind tells me that I’ve not found what I seek. Too late, all the leaves are turning and a cold tear on my cheek. Still, I’ve come to believe in. Still, I’ve got to believe in. Still, I have to believe in. Trying, still not one step closer but I can’t see giving in. Maybe springtime brings a new day, brings a new chance to begin. Still, I want to believe in. Still, I have to believe in. Still, I’ve got to believe in. I see fiery colors as the trees line my way back home. Soon the white blanket tucks the world in, we’re all alone. Still I know that the world don’t sleep it just lies real still. I look forward to seeing you all again, I will. I look forward to seeing you all again. I will.

about

I write songs about being happy. I write songs about being sad. I write songs about hope and strength. Sometimes I even write about being sad then being happy. Regardless, I believe in the good in everyone and I want to believe that in the end everything does work out.
Peace
Teddy
