Tell Me Now © 2010 - 2013 Amy Dixon-Kolar Tell me now, about the smile on my face Tell me now, how I walked the world with grace Tell me now, about my spirit in this place Don’t wait until I’m gone, tell me now Tell me now, of all I used to do Tell me now, if I’ve offended you Tell me now, how to give the world its due Don’t wait until I’m gone tell me now Please don’t wait ‘til I’m ashes in a jar Or lying in the cold, dark ground Tell me what you’re thinking, the ugly and the good It’ll mean more to me now, I wish you would Tell me now, how I’ve helped my fellow man Tell me now, how to follow some great plan Tell me now, if I’ve done all that I can Don’t wait until I’m gone, tell me now Tell me now, what my words have meant to you Tell me now, if there’s changing I must do Tell me now, what I mean to you Don’t wait until I’m gone, tell me now Please don’t wait ‘til I’m ashes in a jar Or lying in the cold, dark ground Tell me what you’re thinking, the ugly and the good It’ll mean more to me now, I wish you would Tell me now, come on, what you gonna say? Tell me now, before I’ve gone away Tell me now, while we’re standing here today [Repeat 2x] Don’t wait until I’m gone Could be before the dawn If I’ve been right or I’ve been wrong Tell me now

Magic Potion 02:54

Magic Potion © 2013 Sue Fink You say that as of late you’re feeling listless The colors of your world have gone to grey Your spirit sags, your love-life is quite… kiss-less And what’s the use of romance, anyway? You say you’re tired of crying, tired of trying My friends, once I was that same shade of blue I was just some sad-sack hound, until the day I found This potion, which I now offer to YOU! (magic potion, magic potion, magic potion) It comes in a tiny vial, and it’s very versatile: Just one Droplet every night ensures good dreams If you spray some on your mirror you will see things so much clearer/ Rub it on your silver, and your silver gleams! Sure, it cleans your shirts and pants, and if you give it to your plants, within minutes you can watch them bloom and grow (bloom and grow!) Just a little dab’ll do ya, you’ll be singin’ Hallelujah as your suitors woo ya ’neath the mistletoe (magic potion, magic potion, magic potion) So many ways to use it – impossible to abuse it – it can Heal broken bones, and hearts, and more And I’d gladly jump through hoops if I could give it to our troops: My friends, it’s guaranteed to end all war! Now you’re lookin’ at me twice, and you’re thinkin’: what’s the price? I know this is not easy to conceive: For you, it’s absolutely free – money matters not to me – But: It will not work… unless: you do BELIEVE! (believe, believe, believe…) Yes, it is an oddity, faith as a commodity, but If you have NONE, this potion’s just fool’s gold Just a smidge is all you’ll need (no more than a mustard seed) Then the potion will increase it seven-fold! And once you have conviction, you’ll find it’s an addiction You’ll keep desiring more, and that’s the catch: Our own supply is running low, that’s why we need some of yours now / So we can mix us up a brand new batch… Of Magic Potion (magic potion) Magic Potion (magic potion) Magic Potion (magic potion) Magic Potion (magic potion)… Believe, believe, believe, believe, believe…

I Don’t Do Country © 2007 Patti Shaffner I’d like to write a country song The kind that folks could sing along The kind of song that they might buy Down in Nashville Tennessee The kind of song that Garth might sing Think of all the money that would bring That might be just fine for me But I don’t do country And can’t you see me at the Bluebird Singin’ the blues ‘Bout the man who left me And the way I’ve been abused Blue jean skirt and a sequined sweater I could be the next Loretter Maybe fate would treat me better But I don’t do country Now if I was gonna make it big I’d have to buy a big blonde wig The kind of hair that Dolly wears And I’d have to change my name I’d do a spot on TNN Then they’d have me back again Think all the money I could spend But I don’t do country And can’t you see me at the Bluebird Singin’ the blues ‘Bout the man who left me And my troubles with the booze Tight black jeans and a sequined sweater I could be the next Loretter Reba, Tricia, I’d be better But I don’t do country Now every Dick and Jane and Joe Would all come out to see my show I’d be making so much dough, I’d buy the Country Hall of Fame I’d buy half the State of Texas Where I could hide out from all my exes I’d have Willie do my taxes But I don’t do country And can’t you see me at the Bluebird Singin’ the blues ‘Bout the man who left me And the way I’ve been abused Cowgirl boots and a sequined sweater I could be the next Loretter Maybe fate would treat me better But I don’t do country But I don’t do country But I don’t do…… country

Kathy’s Dance © 2012 Amy Dixon-Kolar Kick your heels up, Kathy Put on your dancing shoes Now it’s your time Kathy To let yourself cut loose Your lover, he’s been waiting Such a long long time For you to leave your heavy cares behind He’s been patient But he’s waited for the chance To sweep you in his arms and Kathy dance Kathy, dance! Have you seen this dance floor? It’s a garden of delight Everything’s prepared for you this night You’ve been patient But you’ve prayed for the chance To be swept up in his arms and Kathy, dance! Kathy, dance! Since I was young I’ve seen the dance in your eyes Now it’s grown to universal size Always waiting for the time to come To be one with your love Now the dance has now begun! Kick your heels up Kathy Your lover’s opening the door We’ll all join you someday Dancing ‘round on heaven’s floor You know that someday Kathy, We’ll be out on this starlit floor There’s room enough for billions more We’ve all been patient We hoped there was a chance To be swept up in his arms and Finally free to dance Kathy, dance! Kick your heels up Kathy Put on those dancing shoes Now it’s your time Kathy To let yourself cut loose Kathy dance Kathy dance I see you dancing Kathy

Take Back © 2013 Sue Fink Like a starlet to fame Like a sinner to shame I call your name I play your game Like gum to a shoe Or like glitter to glue I cling to you It’s what I do But now I Take back my heart, take back my soul Take back my life, make myself whole I’ll find a way It’s a new day I wish I could Take back my pride, take back my tears Take back what’s mine, take back the years I’ve had enough, I need to find love So good-bye Like a fish in a net Like the deepest regret I’ve paid my debt But I’m not free yet And so I Take back my heart, take back my soul Take back my life, make myself whole I’ll find a way It’s a new day I wish I could Take back my pride, take back my tears Take back what’s mine, take back the years I’ve had enough, I will find love So good-bye (good-bye) good-bye (good-bye) Good-bye… ** Alternate melody, sung by Patti Shaffner, begins after bridge, sung at same time as "Take back my heart" etc. [Alternate melody:] [Like a leaf to the vine A thief to the scene of the crime Like a grape is to wine Like a poet to rhyme Like an hourglass to time Like the sun is to shine...]

Dervish Heart © 2013 Patti Shaffner Bright light on fingertips Sweet perfume on skin and lips Rising up to meet the kiss that I know is there And I'm dancing round the room in my bare feet Whirling like a dervish in the desert heat Waiting for the love that I know is true It’s always there (3x) This love is true And we find each other in the dark Speaking the same way Heart to heart And I see myself reflected in my lover’s eyes Dance in the direction of that sweet surprise Open wide the doors so love may come inside And the world is spinning softly as I'm standing still I lean against the moment at my windowsill Watch the stars that fall into my eyes until I see what's true It’s always there (3x) This love is true And we find each other in the dark Dancing the same way Heart to heart [SCAT BREAK] And we find each other in the dark Speaking the same way Heart to heart It’s always there (3x) This love is true It’s always… there…

At the End of the Day © 2012 Amy Dixon-Kolar Too many people Too many calls Too many notes and messages Tacked up to my wall And at the end of the day All we can say is Good night, see you tomorrow Too many places Where I’m supposed to be Too many obligations For just the one of me And at the end of the day All we can say is Good night, see you tomorrow Said with that touch of sorrow Good night We need to run away Down to the river and listen to the wind Call ‘Silence’ It’s alright Too many flashing lights Too many blinking screens Too many noises and emails and texts I know you know what I mean At the end of the day All we can say is Good night, maybe tomorrow I had a dream we walked hand in hand Along the beach When I awoke we’d been holding hands In our sleep Silence Too many people want So many others lost We’ll try to do our best But there’s always gonna be a cost And at the end of the day All we can say is Good night, maybe tomorrow Said with that touch of sorrow Good night We need to run away Down to the river and listen to the wind Saying ‘Silence’ And know it’s right Good night I love you, Good night There’s always tomorrow Good night Silence Good night

If Only You Weren’t You © 2013 Sue Fink We’ve been together since the earth was new We know each other through and through, and Now you say it’s time to go our separate ways You won’t listen to a word I say, well This cannot be true… if only you… weren’t… We should be side by side on the sofa Resting in each other’s arms We could be doin’ a duet together Singin’ ’bout each other’s charms And you would tell me how you appreciate The million little things I do (and I do) Nothing could make you turn away from me – If only you weren’t you We could be strolling hand in hand down the Chilly streets when lights are low Reminisce about the first time we kissed All those stars and moons ago And if you were sad, you would tell me, And not just say that we were through We could work out whatever our troubles – If only you weren’t you If only you weren’t you You could be more like who I’d always thought you’d be If only you weren’t you But you won’t even try, now you’re asking me to set you free… oh no, oh no… Everything always had to be your way – I knew that from the start I’d just swallow my pride and compromise – Guess that wasn’t so smart Now you tell me you’ve found another, well, I just didn’t have a clue, ooohh If you were someone whose word meant anything – But then, you wouldn’t be you If only you weren’t you If only you weren’t you If only you weren’t you If only you weren’t… Darling, we’d be so perfect together… If only you… weren’t… you
