Temptation


I know if I remove myself from possible harm
Temptation won't bear its charm
And I'll endure this volatile hour
But I don't think safety's the highest ideal
I'll risk a slip on the forbidden fruit's peel
And there can be a thing as too much will-power

Chorus:
I'll take temptation
I think I would've like Eve if I'd met her
If I do what I should than it's all good
If not, sometimes it's even better
I'll take temptation
Go ahead, give the Devil a foothold
I'd rather be singed by the heat than left out in the cold

I know: keep a crowd away from a riot
Avoid chocolate shops when on a diet
Keep temptation far at bay
But to not even have a choice
It's like losing your voice
I'd rather risk going astray

Chorus

Bridge:
Go ahead, go ahead
And tempt me
I think I will be okay...

I'll take tempation
Go ahead, give the Devil a foothold
I'd rather be singed by the heat than left out in the cold

Song In My Head



I've this song in my head and I know the tune
But I don't know the words
To say that the song in my head is you 
And it's the best I've ever heard

It keeps me humming with a grin on my face
I even tap my foot if there's enough space
But...

If you don't feel the same way just let it be said
And I'll get this song out of my head

But if somehow this song thing is going both ways
And I'm in your mind too
Much for you to be happy with me far away
Then we both know what to do

And think of all of the fun
If we played each other on repeat one
But...

If you don't feel the same way just let it be said
And I'll get this song out of my head

What if I'm the only one of us who fell
How will I find a song that I love so well?
But...

If you don't feel the same way just let it be said
And I'll get this song out of my head

Da Vinci II


I've found my new love


He's got the intellect, yes, he's got the mind of


A great philosopher or artist so sure of his place in history


He's a mystery... (dadadada)




I saw him on t.v.


He looks so handsome and he's in a new movie


In which he really does all of his own stunts and his eyes are so green


He knows how to do everything but love me




He paints, writes poems, takes amazing photographs


But he's still humble, kindly signing autographs


His qualities so numerous, his flaws are so few


What's a girl to do? (dadadada)




And he's got strong views


Against all wars, against all human abuse


Quotes Joseph Campbell and he is trilingual fluently


He knows how to do everything but love me





He loves children and (of course) they love him back


Can sing, compose and can fend off an orc attack


His qualities so numerous, his flaws are so few


What's a girl to do? (dadadadada...)




Maybe one day he'll meet me


And I just know that I'll be tongue-tied completely


How could I ever let him know my devotion? It's such a shame


He knows how to do everything but love me.

Mailbox


Your name's still on the mailbox


I can't restart, I gave you my heart


But I refuse to shrug my shoulders and sigh


Or say goodbye to you


Cause what if you come back?


What if you come back?




Your name's still on the mailbox


I still buy your soap, I've still got that hope


But I refuse to shrug my shoulders and sigh


Or say goodbye to you


Cause what if you come back?


What if you come back?




How could you run? You said I was "the one,"


You said we'd be together come rain, come sun


Whether scaling the highest rocks


Or sorting through piles of socks


Was it the day-to-day made you not want to stay?


Chores to do and the bills to pay?


But, see, that's when I loved you best


And that's why I must confess that




Your name's still on the mailbox


The address change went through: I get nothing for you


But I refuse to shrug my shoulders and sigh


Or say goodbye to you


Cause what if you come back?


What if you come back to me?


What if you come back?

Fred Astaire


Now I live day to day


Most of us live that way


We've jobs to work and chores to shirk


And those bills to pay



I've tired of this routine


I want a different scene


To sit and sigh as life goes by


Just isn't for me




Chorus:


I'll dance backwards in high heels and perfect hair


Twirl my twirls in satin negligee if you'll be my Fred Astaire



Martinis and champagne


Dancing in the rain


At each soiree gay repartee


Each summer in Spain




Why be content with less


Than Life lived at its best?


The safe and sane may choose mundane


But let's effervesce, baby




Chorus




Bridge:


Let's have a glamorous romance


Who cares if we dance to the beat of a different drum?


Parumparumparumparumparum...



Chorus

Alice in Wonderland Sheet Music


I have had several people request sheet music for Alice in Wonderland so I had the sheet music made up! The person I hired wasn't able to get the accent marks for the Spanish section in the music, unfortunately, but you can see the correct lyrics here.

If it doesn't turn out on your computer, just email me and I'll send you the pdf!

Come Here to Me (The Ice Cream Man Song)


I've heard that what you seek you will find


And it's not, it's not like I mind


But what if I'm not so inclined? What then?


I ask, well, I ask is it a sin


If I asked, I asked the wind to fly my kite


Even though I haven't taken it outside




Chorus:


And I say come, come here, come here to me


Why, oh why, why must it be


I am the one who has to find you?


Early to bed and early to rise


May make you so wealthy and wise


But what if I like sleeping past nine, praytell?


I think, well, I think it would be swell


If I could win the Nobel for the books I'd read


When instead of getting up I'd stayed in bed


And I say...


Chorus



If nothing's ventured, nothing is gained


But it's not all so clear and so sane


What if what you gain brings you pain, what for?


What if I asked for a little bit more


The ice cream man to come to my door


And if he hands me a treat instead of having to chase him down the street?


And I say...


Chorus
