Different From The Rest
Alice Peacock
Heard you’re getting married today
Well that’s just great and I’m okay
Cuz’ everyone deserves a day in the sun
And I’m not the type to come undone
I hope she loves you
I hope she cares
And when you need someone to hold you
I hope she’s there
God speed, God Bless, I guess
You were different from the rest
I still can remember that night
On the hill
I wore your bomber jacket
The one with all the patches
You asked me if I could tell the truth
I said I could and that I didn’t love you
(chorus)
I’ve often wondered how I’d feel
To finally let you go
I said I’ll cross that bridge
When I come to it…when I come to it
Baby Come Back
Alice Peacock
Baby come back, baby come back, baby come
Baby come back, baby come back, baby come
Baby come back, baby come back to me
I was wrong and I know it
So much pain in your eyes
And I’ve no way of knowing
If you’re leaving this time
(chorus)
I’ve got no excuses
What good would they do?
I’m empty on the inside
I’m losing you
In my heart of hearts I pray
You’ll find forgiveness for me someday
If it’s not too much to ask
Baby I want you back
(chorus)
Here I Go Again
Alice Peacock, Andrew Williams
Every now and then I find myself back in old
familiar places
And I look into the mirror and I can’t quite recognize
who that face is
I’ve been talking in my sleep
Think I’ve fallin’ in too deep
Here I go again – dancin’ round and round the edges
Here I go again – tempting fate out on the ledges
Here I go again – could be flirting with disaster
Here I go again – I should slow down but I’m going faster
Sometimes I throw caution to the wind guess I’m
drawn into the drama
And I try to tell myself that I should stop but it
looks like I don’t wanna’
Cuz’ I love flyin’ high
And the look that’s in your eyes
(chorus)
I’ve been blind-sided and sanctified it feels
Good and bad at the same damn time
I know it’s wrong but I just hold on
This addiction to you is keeping me alive
But I have to let you know
That I have to let you go
Cuz’ every now and then I catch a glimpse of who I am
And I don’t like what I see
Time
Alice Peacock
And so I wept and raged and cried
And came through on the other side
I thought what is this that dissolves to dust
What remains of the two of us
You have left an empty space
A memory that’s hard to trace
A momentary flash of light
In Time
And all across the universe
Everything expanding
At once a blessing and a curse
A beginning and an ending
I don’t know the mystery
Of why we’re here or how we came to be
I think we’re measured by our heart
If we’ve been kind and done our part
Will anyone remember me?
I guess my friends, my family
We’re intertwined – their lives and mine
In Time
And all around the world tonight
People are embracing
Cause it’s all about the love you give
And you don’t want to waste it
Time
Taught Me Well
Alice Peacock
You hate to be ignored
Or maybe you’re just bored
So I opened up my mail and there’s a note from you
You say you’re checkin’ in
To see how I have been
Hey I’m doing so much better if you’d like to know the truth
You taught me well
You were my teacher and I thank you
For the hell you put me through I’m very grateful
Cuz ‘ I finally really learned what was important
In my life
And I thank my lucky stars everyday I’m not your wife
You’re selfishly absorbed
You’re childish and a bore
And I used to hold the anger in my stomach like a fist
But in time it was quite clear
That only I was suffering here
And having gratitude for you was the way out of this
(chorus)
You taught me well…that life is for living
It’s not about taking, it’s all about giving
You taught me well that sometimes what we
Want is staring us right in the face
And the power of forgiveness, the power of
Grace…of Grace
Anyone But Me
Alice Peacock, Keith Follese
I’m finding it hard to live with my heart
And look at you straight in the eye
To know what I know
And know that you don’t
It’s getting harder and harder to hide
Baby I’ve tried and tried to make it real
But I can’t lie about what I can’t feel
You should be in love
You should have the Sun and Moon
And all the stars above baby
You deserve someone
Who can give it all to you
The way that I can’t seem to do
In love is where you should be
In love with anyone…anyone but me
I’ve lied to myself and everyone else
And I can’t keep lying to you
Cuz' I loved you once, I loved you so much
So I need to tell you the truth
Baby you need to know
You’re my best friend
So I can’t fake it, I can’t pretend
(chorus)
Someday you’ll smile again - I know
Think of me then
(chorus)
Runaway Day
Alice Peacock, Ted Bruner
Watching the waves wash across the sand
Sharing a smoke as I hold your hand
You’re here, with me there’s no where else
I’d rather be
This is the best day I’ve ever had
Just for the day let’s runaway
Won’t you play with me
Down by the sea I’ll show you how happy
We can be
Let’s just drift away on our runaway day
My baby works hard he works all day
Sometimes at night I can hear him say
I wish, we could, go back in time
When things were good
You know we don’t have to live this way
(chorus)
Whenever I’m blue, I know what to do
I want to go runaway with you
Ain’t a cloud in the sky
I’m feeling so high
With you by my side, by my side
(chorus)
Love
Alice Peacock, John Baxter
Love, Love is gonna’ get you down
It’s gonna’ fill you up
It’s gonna’ swing you around
There’s nothing to say, there’s nothing you can do
Just stay out of the way ‘til love is through with you
Love, love is gonna’ bring you down
It’s gonna bring you down…
Love, can make a happy home
It can bring you joy
It can leave you alone
How can it be that something so bittersweet
Is all that we’re wanting and everything we need
(chorus)
Love will bend you, Love will break you
Then befriend you, then forsake you
Love will lead you through the fire
And show you all your heart’s desire
(chorus)
Only A Memory
Alice Peacock
Since you’ve been gone it only rains from my eyes
No blue skies
I’m not strong enough to take the pain
It cuts so deep, I can’t sleep
The shirts in the closet still smell of you
I don’t know what I am supposed to do
Now that you’re gone away from me
I am so blinded I can’t see
How I can get through this life without you
When you’re just a memory
I think the weekends may be worst
All that time, it’s a curse
I’ve saved your message on my phone
Makes me feel not so all alone
I pray to God that he will see me through
And maybe in time I’ll get over you
(chorus)
For once in my life
I had a love
The love of my dreams
And that was enough
(chorus)
I’m Still Here
Alice Peacock
You can take what you want
Or leave it all behind
You can listen to your heart
Or give in to your pride
But when the morning comes
And the darkness clears
You’re never on your own, ‘Cause I’m still here
I know that you can’t stay
I know you gotta’ roam
But when you’re far away
Remember this is home
And when you close your eyes and daylight disappears
Imagine me with you – I’m still here
I’m still here for you. You can count on me
Night or day
I’m for real – it’s true
Please listen to what I say
Baby if your dreams have a hard time coming true
You know just where I’ll be – standing there by you
I’ll be at your side
To help you face your fears
No matter where you go, I’m still here
Sunflower
Alice Peacock, John Baxter
Sunflower smiling at the sun
Your time is gonna’ come
Keep your eyes on sunny skies
Your heart soars above the clouds
Sings a song out loud
For a brand new day – not so far away
Isn’t it amazing – what you see
Isn’t it amazing - what you do
Isn’t it amazing – everything
Sunflowers in spring – they’re just like you
Sunflower wipe away your tears
All your doubts and fears
You were born to fly – so high
Sunflower everybody knows
You’re the one that grows in a sunny place
Such a happy face
(chorus)
FINDING MY WAY
Alice Peacock
Remember when we were young and brave
Nothing could tear us apart
Together we’d face a brand new day
Fearless with open hearts
But then life got in the way
Now there’s so much I gotta’ say
Cuz’ while I was finding my way back to you again
I found the way back to me
There were some times my words were hateful
I was so careless and so unkind
And instead of feeling grateful
I felt I’d left myself behind
But through the darkness I could see
All of the light surrounding me
And while I was finding my way back to you again
I found the way back to me
Memories, the ties that bind
The blood inside your veins and mine
The secrets of a family
You’ll always be…a part of me
So why don’t we lay it on the line
And give in to love while there’s still time
Cuz’ while I was finding my way back to you again
I found the way back to me
In finding my way back to you again
I found the way…back to me
Who I Am
Alice Peacock, Dennis Matkosky
I don’t want to play your game
That everyone should be the same
I know who I am
Don’t need your philosophy
It isn’t any use to me
I know where I stand
In the ways of life and art
I trust the wisdom of my heart
I may stumble, I may fall
But I know that through it all
If to my own self I am true
Than I’m sure to make it through
It doesn’t matter what you say
Cuz' I know I’ll be okay
I know who I am
I may not be your fantasy
Or what you think I’m ‘sposed to be
Well I understand
But what you clearly fail to see
Is there’s nobody else quite like me
In this wonderland
My luck begins with these two hands
Cuz' nothing happens just by chance
(chorus)
I’m courageous, I am kind, a contradiction in
Your mind, my sexuality belongs to no one else
But me, I believe that love’s a choice
I trust the power in my voice
(chorus)
If You Could Only See Your Eyes
Alice Peacock, John Greenebaum
This is simple This is basic
There’s no need to complicate it
You’re beautiful and I love you
And if I live for 10 forevers
Here’s a moment I’ll remember
Just watching you in this crowded room
If you could only see your eyes
You’d be amazed just how you shine
How you shine
This is perfect This is easy
This is falling more than deeply
More than true – it’s all for you
(chorus)
No one else can see through me
And see the heart that your heart sees
This is perfect This is basic
Words would only complicate it
You’re beautiful and I love you
So beautiful and I love you
