Its 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, its doing me no good
But I dont change the station, no I never do
Cause no one sings a love song better than you
This time, youll see, Ive convinced myself
Chorus: Its not about me,
its not about me
So your song wont work this time cause its 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 wont turn around, like I always do
Cause no one sings a lie better than you
So this time, Im free
Ive convinced myself.
Chorus: Its not about me (you
dont know what love is)
Its not about me (youll never know what love is)
Your song is just a bunch of lines and its not about me.
I just have to tell myself
This songs for someone else.
Chorus.
Youll never do the things you say
So Ill 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 theyve been together
And she gives him what he needs.
Chorus: Its better than
lonely
Its better than being alone
Its better than lonely
Hes got someone waiting at home
The world is full of people
Holding on to second best
Cause its better, its better than lonely.
She planned to find a man who was handsome,
dark and tall
She tried to make it happen, but shed always
end up taking the fall
One day she met a guy who didnt knock her off her feet
But hes always by her side and gives her everything she needs.
Chorus: And its better than lonely
Its better than being alone
Its better than lonely
Shes got someone waiting at home
Sometimes she thinks she settled for less
But she knows its all for the best
And its better, its better than lonely.
Aint 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 youre 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 cant seem to figure out
So youve got to go this one alone.
Well, Im not afraid, you know
Im ready to let you go
Cause Destinys guaranteed
Its all under control
No matter where you land
Someday youll understand
All that we have is all you need.
Chorus: Baby, through time and space
Through space and time
You wont 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, youll never find
A universe like ours
When youre light years away
Not even a cosmic display
Can touch the beauty that weve known.
Chorus.

Dont 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 doesnt give you
love
All that youre deserving of
Dont give your heart away
If he doesnt give you proof
That his heart belongs to you
Dont give your heart away
Deja vu
Thats what I feel when I look at you
See, I did the same thing too, its 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 Ive gained.
Chorus.
I know its 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 cant let you end up like me
Ive gotta try til I get through
Cause nothing less will do for you.
Chorus.

Ill 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: Ill think of you that
way
When I need to see the way it used to be
In better days
Ill think of you that way
When darkness fills my dreams with sad
and painful scenes
Ill 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: Ill think of you that
way
When I need to see happy memories
In better days
Ill think of you that way
When I need to replace the last look on your face
I dont want to see
Ill 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: Ill think of you that
way
The little boy at play, the smile from yesterday
That lit up your face
Ill think of you that way
The way you used to be
Will always be with me, day after day
Ill think of you that way.

Comin and
Goin
(Written by Sharon DiFronzo & Michael Nolette)
Southbound again, Im on Route 95
Just yesterday I was on the other side
This didnt last long, guess Im coming home
All it took was your voice on the phone.
Chorus: Youve got me
comin and goin, goin and comin
I never know which way Ill be runnin
Goin and comin, comin and goin
Changing direction like the wind thats blowin
Im tired of this game, youve got me half insane
Comin and goin.
Pulling in again, that old familiar drive
Just yesterday I thought Id 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?
Its a case of mistaken identity
And loves final decree
Is youre free to go
Cause now I know
Its 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 dont 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 strangers been living here since
Its 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 youve 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 didnt want to see
What you were doing to me
What you were doing to me
How did I last so long?
Guess I just didnt want to know
Didnt want to let go
Didnt want to let go.
But now you are free
The way youve always wanted to be
The deception is through
Now she can have you.
Guess Ive 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 Ive opened up these eyes
And now I realize
Now I realize
That Im finally free
Dont worry bout me
Im starting my life anew
And she can have you
She can have you
Yes, Im finally free
Dont worry bout me
Ive paid all my dues
Now she can have you
She can have you.

Corners
(Written by Sharon DiFronzo & Michael Nolette)
Were good at hiding what we feel
With such disguise so they cant tell
What we cleverly conceal
Weve got it worked out very well.
We never tied up our loose ends
Never really settled out the score
Maybe thats why our wounds wont 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 dont 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 Im in a corner of your mind.
You went your way, I went mine
You found her and I found him
And were 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 theres nothing we can do
At least youre in a corner of my mind.
We have to take what we can get
Even if its just a glance
And since they havent caught on yet
Why let go of our little touch of romance?
Chorus: Out of the corners of our eyes
Well steal those looks at every chance
Yes, its 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 Im drifting back again
A fire was burning like the fire in your eyes
I could have sworn that you were satisfied.
Chorus: And Ive tried to find
an answer
But I still dont 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.

Whats
Goin On?
(Written by Sharon DiFronzo & Michael Nolette)
I think wed better have a talk
Somethings not right
Lets go outside and take a walk
Its warm out tonight
Cause I feel a change and its crystal clear
That we have a problem here
Before we drift apart and things get out of hand
Lets take the time and try to understand
Whats goin on.
Chorus: Whats goin on?
Youre not holding me as tight
I stopped kissing you good night
The smiles we both once wore
Are not there anymore.
Im not sure when it started changing
It happened gradually
But cant we try some rearranging
To help save you and me?
Cause were headed in the wrong direction
Whats left of us needs our protection
Before it gets out of control
Lets search our hearts, lets search our souls.
Chorus: Whats goin on?
The love that was so warm
Has turned into a storm
We used to share so much
But now were out of touch.
Here and now, weve got to face it
Our love is on the line
Weve come this far together, it seems so long
Lets work out out, lets find out
Chorus: Whats goin on?
Im not holding you as tight
You stopped kissing me goodnight
We used to have so much
But now were out of touch
Whats goin on?

High Expectations
(Written by Sharon DiFronzo & Michael Nolette)
I expect youll be a sight for sore
eyes
When you walk through the door
Youll say hello by gently kissing my cheek
Leave me wanting more
So long, yearning
My hearts burning with
Chorus: High expectations
Passions gonna take to the sky
Love is getting ready to fly
Ive got high expectations.
Its been a long time and weve both learned
the hard way
Now we know this is right
Well find a way to make it last this time
And well start tonight
So long, yearning
My hearts burning with
Chorus.
Fires burning
Were both yearning with
High expectations
Passions taken off to the sky
Love is getting ready to fly
Weve got high expectations.
