SOMEDAY LOVE (READY FOR YA)

(Kipp Lennon, Michael Lennon)

My love, you cannot hear me
But one of these days
You're gonna step through the haze and come near me

My love, you do not know me
But isn't it strange
How it's all gonna change when you do?

How long will you wait?
As long as it takes
And how will you know?
I'll just know
By the look on your face

Ready for ya
Ready for ya
I've been waiting so long
Ready for ya
Ready for ya
So come on . . . Someday Love

My love, isn't it funny
That I'm singing for you
And I don't even know who you are?

And sleeping somewhere
Or combing her hair
And sometimes she cries
Oh, those eyes
They'll mean so much to me

CHORUS

REPEAT THIRD VERSE

ME YOU’RE PLAYING WITH

(Mark Lennon, Michael Lennon, Kipp Lennon)

I have seen the way
That you treat other men
Filling them with hopes
And how much will they spend?
But that won't work with me
I'm sure that you will see in the end

Suckers to the left
Suckers to the right
How far will this sucker go
Before you have to bite
But that won't work with me
I'm sure that you will lose the fight

We both know that I see through
The faces that you wear
So wear them for somebody else

Because it's me you're playing with this time
'Cause it's me you're playing with tonight

Can't say I'm impressed
With what I see in you
But something keeps me holding on
The little things you do
They seem to work on me
I'm sure that you will see in the end

REFRAIN

CHORUS

REPEAT SECOND VERSE

IT’S ONLY JANUARY

(Kipp Lennon, Michael Lennon)

There's a place inside of me for you
With all the words and phases we've been through
For every sea and every strand
For every touch of every hand
There's a place inside of me for you

I know you've heard it all before
And wound up on the sad side of the door
So I won't paint with promises
And I won't even try to guess
'Cause I know you've heard it all before

We can't be less than what we are
But don't be scared
We've come this far

Don't cry, it's only January
The change is hard to carry
But spring is coming soon
Don't cry, it's only January
The pain is hard to bury
But always hope for June
(don't cry)
It's only January

Hello is harder than goodbye
To let it go, to really let it fly
Don't wanna lose, don't wanna win
If just to say goodbye again
Hello is harder than goodbye

I'll be the first to say it's true
You never know, you never do

CHORUS

 

 

 


TEARS

(Kipp Lennon, Michael Lennon)

All I ever gave to you
Was watercolored pink and blue
Did you think I didn't see you
Turn your head away from me
But that's alright, that's ok
If the face you lost comes back to you someday

Blinded by the blind are lead
Watercolored black and red
Still you choose to make no sound
While everybody's leaving town
But that's ok, that's alright
If the love you lost comes back to you some night

Tears . . . making me cry again
Tears . . . making me cry again
Tears fall for you, fall for me

Stranded on the redeye flight
Watercolored white on white
Short on truth and long on lines
Got to learn to read the signs
But that's alright, that's ok
If the face you lost comes back to you someday

CHORUS

But that's ok, that's alright
If the love you lost comes back to you some night
