LOVE YOU SO BAD
Music & Lyrics: C. Sclafani
I love You
I love you so damn bad
I love, love you,
Everything you do,
I said I love you
I can’t eat, can’t sleep, been up all night since you’ve been gone
I can’t eat, can’t sleep, been up all night since you’ve been gone
Because I love you
I love you so damn bad
I love, love you,
Everything you do, and you know it’s tue
It’s taken all of these years to appear,
but baby it’s here
I love you
I love you so damn much
I love, love you,
Every time we touch
I can’t be, won’t be satisfied until you come home
I can’t be, won’t besatisfied until you come
Because I love you
ALL FIRED UP
Music & Lyrics: C. Sclafani
You can try to steer the conversation
You can tell me what you gonna do
Fall for a superstition
Or surrender to the truth
You can preach from the top of your mountain
You can prophecies of things to come
Pour out into the streets
Or scream at the top of your lungs
Here I am
And hell yeah
I’m all fired up
You can reach higher and higher
Or you can let it crawl under your skin
It’s the start of a revolution,
Or the beginning of the end
Here I am
And hell yeah
I’m all fired up
COME ON
Music & Lyrics: C. Sclafani
Turn it up
Don’t shut it out
Let’s get down to what this is really all about
We could have anything in sight
But it could depend on your mood and type of appetite
We can come together now
Or we can burn it to the ground
Let’s pick it up
Don’t pull it down
Because our disposition seems close to the ground
You could believe that you have seen the light
But you might be confused as to who is wrong and who is right
Come on, come on
We are, we are one
GRAY AND BLUE
Music & Lyrics: C. Sclafani
Get a ticket to ride
Count the days and the night
Try to ease my mind with a song
Cause I’ve got nowhere to hide
Just got you on my mind
Wanting to get back to your loving arms
I wish I knew which way to turn
Maybe there’s more to this that I have to learn
And then I hear the highway call
And know that I’m about to fall back,
into the sun
And the thought of you still lingers,
While cigarettes burn down to my fingers
And it all starts to fade away
Mornings sway between gray and blue
And I find another way to love you
I’m tired of hitting the road
Maybe I could lighten my load
And lay with you for a little while
Tell you ’bout the places I’ve been
Try to change the shape that I’m in
And then start all over again
HANGING AROUND
Music & Lyrics: C. Sclafani
I got a woman who’s good to me
She lives in Nashville Tennessee
She’s a girl who never lets me down
We lay our bodies on the ground
I’m coming east bound now
And pulling into town
I’ll be hangin’ around til tomorrow
I got a woman who treats my right
She gives her love and holds me tight
She’s a girl who always lets me know
We take things easy and slow
And I’m coming east bound now
And pulling into town
I’ll be hangin’ around til tomorrow
I’m hanging around this town
And I’ve got nothing in particular planned
I got a woman who looks so fine
She paints her lips and takes her time
She’s a girl who really turns me on
It’s been two years since I been gone
But I’m coming east bound now
And pulling into town
I’ll be hangin’ around til tomorrow
AFTER I’M GONE
Music & Lyrics: C. Sclafani
When my time has come and gone
And my life, laid out to pasture
Crown my fears for all I’ve done
As I wait for my aching hour
Because I feel that it wont be long
until the dawn brings the dark angel
Am I wrong to want to hold on?
Precious one, I’ll wait by the window
Then all becomes clear to me
When I’m gone,
will I be justified?
For all I know,
I’ll disappear into the light
And love everyone
Pour the wine
Heal my troubled mind,
with every word that echoes in the distance
All the while, I’ll dream of her smile
She can lift the world up to the heavens
And I can hear the siren call
A beautiful star shines soft against her
Could she reveal the fate of my soul?
and if all that we are is lost in a whisper
Then all becomes clear to me
When I’m gone,
will I be justified?
For all I know,
I’ll disappear into the light
And love everyone
But it’s only a matter of time
until we find what’s behind the door
But I believe
after I’m gone,
my spirit will carry on
BEAUTIFUL BOY
Music & Lyrics: C. Sclafani
You can climb a mountain to the top
Sail all of the oceans if you want
Reach for the clouds and never stop
You can make castles in the sand
Fly in a big jet plane to some imaginary land
I’ll try to keep up if I can
Mama’s gonna make sure that you’re fed
Daddy’s gonna tuck you into bed
You’ll fall asleep to the stories they’ve read
Beautiful boy
I can teach you how to throw a ball
Pick you up sometimes when you fall
I’ll always be there if you should call
And I’m gonna do the best I can
But I want you to know that I’m your biggest fan
And I can’t wait for you to be a man
Mama’s gonna make sure that you’re fed
Daddy’s gonna tuck you into bed
You’ll fall asleep to the stories they’ve read
Beautiful boy
