It’s Not About Me
(Written by Sharon DiFronzo & Michael Nolette)

Your voice would always get to me, you know it could
And as I drive away, it’s doing me no good
But I don’t change the station, no I never do
’Cause no one sings a love song better than you
This time, you’ll see, I’ve convinced myself

Chorus: It’s not about me, it’s not about me
So your song won’t work this time ‘cause it’s not about me

Tears, they always fill my eyes, you know they do
When I hear this melody that only comes from you
But I won’t turn around, like I always do
‘Cause no one sings a lie better than you
So this time, I’m free
I’ve convinced myself.

Chorus: It’s not about me (you don’t know what love is)
It’s not about me (you’ll never know what love is)
Your song is just a bunch of lines and it’s not about me.

I just have to tell myself
This song’s for someone else.

Chorus.

You’ll never do the things you say
So I’ll do everything my own way.

Chorus.

Better Than Lonely
(Written by Sharon DiFronzo & Michael Nolette)

He used to dream about a woman whose beauty
     could leave a man blind
Met his share of pretty women but they always
     seemed to leave him behind
Then along came a lady who was nothing like his dream
But for years they’ve been together
And she gives him what he needs.

Chorus: It’s better than lonely
It’s better than being alone
It’s better than lonely
He’s got someone waiting at home
The world is full of people
Holding on to second best
‘Cause it’s better, it’s better than lonely.

She planned to find a man who was handsome,
     dark and tall
She tried to make it happen, but she’d always
     end up taking the fall
One day she met a guy who didn’t knock her off her feet
But he’s always by her side and gives her everything she needs.

Chorus: And it’s better than lonely
It’s better than being alone
It’s better than lonely
She’s got someone waiting at home
Sometimes she thinks she settled for less
But she knows it’s all for the best
And it’s better, it’s better than lonely.

Ain’t it funny how it all works out
Not exactly like you thought that it would
But when you start having those doubts
Just think of all the ways you’re having it good

Chorus.

Through Space and Time
(Written by Sharon DiFronzo & Michael Nolette)

You say that you need space
And you need time
To think about you and me
And clear your troubled mind
Seems you are having doubts
You can’t seem to figure out
So you’ve got to go this one alone.

Well, I’m not afraid, you know
I’m ready to let you go
‘Cause Destiny’s guaranteed
It’s all under control
No matter where you land
Someday you’ll understand
All that we have is all you need.

Chorus: Baby, through time and space
Through space and time
You won’t forget my face
My voice will fill your mind
The suns and the moons
Will whisper our song
‘Til you are here where you belong.

So fly off to Jupiter
Go dance with the stars
But baby, you’ll never find
A universe like ours
When you’re light years away
Not even a cosmic display
Can touch the beauty that we’ve known.

Chorus.

Don’t Give Your Heart Away
(Written by Sharon DiFronzo & Michael Nolette)

It breaks my heart
As I watch you falling apart
Mr. Right is now Mr. Wrong again
You say you give and you give and you give
And it always ends up like this
But love can never be sweet
On a lonely one way street

Chorus: If he doesn’t give you love
All that you’re deserving of
Don’t give your heart away
If he doesn’t give you proof
That his heart belongs to you
Don’t give your heart away

Deja vu
That’s what I feel when I look at you
See, I did the same thing too, it’s true
It took me way too long to see
That I was giving too much of me
So maybe I can save you pain
With this wisdom that I’ve gained.

Chorus.

I know it’s hard to listen now
But take it from a fool who was a
little bit too proud to hear this very advice
And when I finally understood
It was too late, my heart had closed its gates for good
What a tragic sacrifice.....

So you see, little sister
I can’t let you end up like me
I’ve gotta try ‘til I get through
‘Cause nothing less will do for you.

Chorus.

I’ll Think of You That Way
(Written by Sharon DiFronzo & Michael Nolette)

I see you sitting by the ocean
Building a house of sand with your little hands
I see you in the school yard gliding on a swing
Blue eyes shining brightly, holding on so tightly
I still can hear the way your laugh would ring.

Chorus: I’ll think of you that way
When I need to see the way it used to be
In better days
I’ll think of you that way
When darkness fills my dreams with sad
     and painful scenes
I’ll turn away
And think of you that way.

I see you dressed up for your prom now
You looked so handsome in that tux you had on
I see you smiling at me on my wedding day
You held my hand so tightly
Your blue eyes shining brightly
Said everything that words could never say.

Chorus: I’ll think of you that way
When I need to see happy memories
In better days
I’ll think of you that way
When I need to replace the last look on your face
I don’t want to see
I’ll think of you that way.

We never know where life will lead us
We never know what waits around each bend
The way that you were taken
Has left me lost and shaken
I have to chase these visions from my head
So instead

Chorus: I’ll think of you that way
The little boy at play, the smile from yesterday
That lit up your face
I’ll think of you that way
The way you used to be
Will always be with me, day after day
I’ll think of you that way.

Comin’ and Goin’
(Written by Sharon DiFronzo & Michael Nolette)

Southbound again, I’m on Route 95
Just yesterday I was on the other side
This didn’t last long, guess I’m coming home
All it took was your voice on the phone.

Chorus: You’ve got me comin’ and goin’, goin’ and comin’
I never know which way I’ll be runnin’
Goin’ and comin’, comin’ and goin’
Changing direction like the wind that’s blowin’
I’m tired of this game, you’ve got me half insane
Comin’ and goin’.

Pulling in again, that old familiar drive
Just yesterday I thought I’d made up my mind
That leaving you for good was what I had to do
Why am I running back to you??

Chorus.

Sitting here inside my car
Wondering how it got this far
As I pull out, I catch your eye
Just in time to say goodbye.

Chorus: No more comin’ and goin’......
I must have been insane to ever play your game…

Mistaken Identity
(Written by Sharon DiFronzo & Harry King)

I could have sworn you were the one
Who gave me a love that was next to none
Your face looks the same
And you have the same name
But as I look into your eyes
I see nothing I recognize

Chorus: Oh, how wrong could I be?
It’s a case of mistaken identity
And love’s final decree
Is you’re free to go
‘Cause now I know
It’s mistaken identity.

I could have sworn you were the man
Who told me "I do" with a wedding band
But your finger is bare
Like the life we don’t share
I was begging a stranger for love
What was I thinking of?

Chorus.

The jury is surely convinced
Someone I knew slipped away
A stranger’s been living here since
It’s all been a big mistake.

Chorus.

Now She Can Have You
(Written by Sharon DiFronzo & Michael Nolette)

Well the damage is done
You have finally won
Like you always do
Congratulations to you
Congratulations to you
For a long time you’ve tried
To push me aside
Well your message finally got through
Now she can have you
She can have you.

Oh I was blind for so long
Or I just didn’t want to see
What you were doing to me
What you were doing to me
How did I last so long?
Guess I just didn’t want to know
Didn’t want to let go
Didn’t want to let go.

But now you are free
The way you’ve always wanted to be
The deception is through
Now she can have you.

Guess I’ve known all along
But I chose to close my eyes
To the hurt and the lies
To the hurt and the lies
But the day has finally come
When I’ve opened up these eyes
And now I realize
Now I realize

That I’m finally free
Don’t worry ‘bout me
I’m starting my life anew
And she can have you
She can have you
Yes, I’m finally free
Don’t worry ‘bout me
I’ve paid all my dues
Now she can have you
She can have you.

Corners
(Written by Sharon DiFronzo & Michael Nolette)

We’re good at hiding what we feel
With such disguise so they can’t tell
What we cleverly conceal
We’ve got it worked out very well.

We never tied up our loose ends
Never really settled out the score
Maybe that’s why our wounds won’t mend
And deep inside our hearts
We both still hope for more.

Chorus: Out of the corner of my eye
I always catch you watching me
When you don’t think I see
And in a corner of your mind
I know that you must think of me
Though our love can never be
At least I’m in a corner of your mind.

You went your way, I went mine
You found her and I found him
And we’re both happy with our lives
But when we meet, it all begins again.

Chorus: Out of the corner of your eye
You always catch me watching you
I can tell you feel it too
And in a corner of my mind
I keep my secret thoughts of you
Though there’s nothing we can do
At least you’re in a corner of my mind.

We have to take what we can get
Even if it’s just a glance
And since they haven’t caught on yet
Why let go of our little touch of romance?

Chorus: Out of the corners of our eyes
We’ll steal those looks at every chance
Yes, it’s all said in a glance
And in those corners of our minds
That spark will always be alive
A piece of us will still survive
Inside the corners of our minds
Inside the corners of our minds.

This Time Last Year
(Written by Sharon DiFronzo & Michael Nolette)

The snow is falling, creepin’ up the window panes
I hear you calling as I’m drifting back again
A fire was burning like the fire in your eyes
I could have sworn that you were satisfied.

Chorus: And I’ve tried to find an answer
But I still don’t understand
Why you never even told me of your plans
Still I always will remember
As I long to hold you near
Every time I think about this time last year.

Same Christmas carols playing on the radio
We hung decorations, you were singing "Let It Snow"
The tree was beaming, like the smile upon your face
These moments that time will not erase.

Chorus.

The note taped to the door
Said you needed more
I gave you everything I had.

Chorus.

What’s Goin’ On?
(Written by Sharon DiFronzo & Michael Nolette)

I think we’d better have a talk
Something’s not right
Let’s go outside and take a walk
It’s warm out tonight
‘Cause I feel a change and it’s crystal clear
That we have a problem here
Before we drift apart and things get out of hand
Let’s take the time and try to understand
What’s goin’ on.

Chorus: What’s goin’ on?
You’re not holding me as tight
I stopped kissing you good night
The smiles we both once wore
Are not there anymore.

I’m not sure when it started changing
It happened gradually
But can’t we try some rearranging
To help save you and me?
‘Cause we’re headed in the wrong direction
What’s left of us needs our protection
Before it gets out of control
Let’s search our hearts, let’s search our souls.

Chorus: What’s goin’ on?
The love that was so warm
Has turned into a storm
We used to share so much
But now we’re out of touch.

Here and now, we’ve got to face it
Our love is on the line
We’ve come this far together, it seems so long
Let’s work out out, let’s find out

Chorus: What’s goin’ on?
I’m not holding you as tight
You stopped kissing me goodnight
We used to have so much
But now we’re out of touch

What’s goin’ on?

High Expectations
(Written by Sharon DiFronzo & Michael Nolette)

I expect you’ll be a sight for sore eyes
When you walk through the door
You’ll say hello by gently kissing my cheek
Leave me wanting more
So long, yearning
My heart’s burning with

Chorus: High expectations
Passion’s gonna take to the sky
Love is getting ready to fly
I’ve got high expectations.

It’s been a long time and we’ve both learned
     the hard way
Now we know this is right
We’ll find a way to make it last this time
And we’ll start tonight
So long, yearning
My heart’s burning with

Chorus.

Fire’s burning
We’re both yearning with
High expectations
Passion’s taken off to the sky
Love is getting ready to fly
We’ve got high expectations.
