THERE GOES MY HEART AGAIN
w&m by Dana Countryman
You look so pretty and seem so sweet
You're the kind of girl I'd really like my mom to meet
The kind of girl to make a lonely boy complete,
and I think I might love you
But I'm not ready, 'cause I've been hurt
I had a girl who only treated me like dirt
She said she loved me, but she was a hopeless flirt
And that's why I mustn't think about you
There Goes My Heart Again
I swore that we'd never be more than friends
No more falling in love, and then
There Goes My Heart Again
Oh, I shouldn't look at you
It only reminds me how beautiful you are
And you never notice me,
but I worship you from afar
On the train from Stepney to Kensington
I try not to stare, so you're unaware
of the boy I swear who's not in love with you
I'm sittin' alone,
I'm fine on my own
I sneak a peek now and then
But when I see her face,
my pulse starts to race
There Goes My Heart Again
Well, that's my story - I swear it's true,
and I'm sticking to it like a tube of Superglue
Now you know why I can never fall in love with you
But suddenly, you just smiled at me and…
There Goes My Heart Again
I swore that we'd never be more than friends
No more falling in love, and then
There Goes My Heart Again
I'm sittin' alone,
I'm fine on my own
I sneak a peek now and then
But when I see her face,
my pulse starts to race
There Goes My Heart Again

SUMMER SAND
w&m by Dana Countryman
Pretty girl down by the sea,
wish she’d notice me
Summer skies can’t match her eyes of blue
With her long and golden hair,
I can’t help but stare
Summer Girl, I’m so in love with you
Won’t you take my hand,
and walk along the summer sand with me?
The wind is warm, the night is young
and so are we
And on a night like this, a summer kiss
might bring a summer love
So won’t you take my hand,
the summer sand is calling
Ev’ry night I say a prayer,
that someday she’ll care
I can’t wait to take her hand someday
We will walk along the shore,
in love forevermore
In my dreams, each night I hear her say
Won’t you take my hand,
and walk along the summer sand with me?
The wind is warm, the night is young
and so are we
And on a night like this, a summer kiss
might bring a summer love
So won’t you take my hand,
the summer sand is calling

and has waited patiently
Don’t you know that it’s me, girl

JEALOUS HEART
w&m by Dana Countryman
We've been together for so long, girl
You know my love for you is true
And I could travel around this world,
and never find a girl like you
But you worry I'm going out on you,
and you've really got it wrong
To prove that I've been faithful,
I just wrote you a song
I love you girl, but you're driving me crazy
with your worried mind and your Jealous Heart
The past is bright, but the future looks hazy
Don't you know you're gonna drive us apart
You don't need to have a Jealous Heart
You're jealous of ev'ry girl I meet,
the checker at the grocery store,
the teenage girl livin' down the street,
the granny with the cats, next door
Well, it's kinda funny, but kinda sad
They can't hold a candle to you
It's your imagination
My love remains True Blue
I love you girl, but you're driving me crazy
with your worried mind and your Jealous Heart
The past is bright, but the future looks hazy
Don't you know you're gonna drive us apart
You don't need to have a Jealous Heart

MRS. SUNSHINE
w&m by Dana Countryman and Terry Draper
Sometimes I wake up before the sunrise
When I do, I go right back to sleep
I don’t wanna wake up without sunshine on my face
I love to feel your welcoming embrace
Hey there, Mrs. Sunshine
Help me out, If you’d be so kind
Cause my baby’s coming home, she’s on her way
Lovely Mrs. Sunshine
All I ask is just this one time
Shine your light and bring a bright and sunny day
Where should we go,
what should we do on such a day?
I don't really care as long as you and I can play
And look at the clouds float by, look at how they envy us two
Blown by the wind they cannot do all the things we can do
Hey there, Mrs. Sunshine
Help me out, If you’d be so kind
Cause my baby’s coming home,
she’s on her way
Lovely Mrs. Sunshine
All I ask is just this one time
Shine your light and bring a
bright and sunny day
I don’t mind if it rains today
But hey, come tomorrow keep it all away
‘Cause my girlfriend misses sunshine, Mrs. Sunshine
Mrs. Sunshine
INST
Hey there, Mrs. Sunshine
Help me out, If you’d be so kind
Cause my baby’s coming home, she’s on her way
Lovely Mrs. Sunshine
All I ask is just one more time
Show your might and bring a bright and sunny day

EVERY KISS REMINDS ME OF YOU
w&m by Dana Countryman
I do my best to get over you
I tell myself that's what I'm gonna do
There's plenty of other fish in the deep blue sea
And I'm doin' fine since we've been apart
You won't find me nursing a broken heart
I found me a girl and she's beautiful
I'm happy as can be
She takes my hand with the sweetest smile
She's crazy over me
I turn out the light and we start to kiss,
but it's your face that I see
Every kiss reminds me of you
I just can't shake your memory
Every kiss and I miss you a little bit more
She's a beautiful girl, I realize
And she looks at me with such tender loving eyes
She kisses me with so much love, it's true
But every kiss only reminds me of you

TRICIA’S SONG
w&m by Dana Countryman
You and I had never met
We never knew ‘bout each other
We lived oceans apart
Then, the day I can’t forget
You walked right into my life
Now, you’re right here in my heart
You’re every dream that I’ve dreamed come true
To think that I’ll spend a lifetime lovin’ you
Tricia, my inspiration, my Tricia,
So proud to spend my life with ya
So nice to know that we’ll always be
together, just one family
Like a love song that never ends,
The harmony lingers on,
our love keeps getting’ strong
The best of lovers, the best of friends,
and so many songs unsung
The best is still yet to come
And so tonight, we celebrate
Another year spent together
I’m so happy with you
Hand in hand, throughout the years,
we’ll share a lifetime together
A love faithful and true
And when my time here on earth is through,
I know that I’ll spend eternity with you
Tricia, I’ll always love you, my Tricia,
So proud to spend my life with ya
So nice to know that we’ll always be
together, just one family
Together, just one family
I found a love that’s true
I waited, girl, for you

HERE COME THOSE BUTTERFLIES AGAIN
w&m by Dana Countryman
Lady, I've fallen so in love with you
and fallen' in love was something
I swore I'd never do
You're in control of my heart
One look at you and those feelings start
Here come those butterflies again,
every time I kiss you
Here come those butterflies again,
and every time I kiss you I get that little thrill,
and I get the feeling I always will
Here come those butterflies again
You're in my last few thoughts when I close my eyes,
and you're in my very first thoughts in the dawn when I rise
And in the hours in between,
you're even in my thoughts when I dream
Here come those butterflies again,
every time I kiss you
Here come those butterflies again,
and every time I kiss you I get that little thrill,
and I get the feeling I always will
Here come those butterflies again
You touching me
Me touching you
Loving you's the natural thing to do
And baby, Here come those butterflies again,
every time I kiss you
Here come those butterflies again,
and every time I kiss you
Lady, tonight's the night,
and I'll still love you in the morning's light
Nothing could every be so right.
Here come those butterflies again,
every time I kiss you
Here come those butterflies again,
and every time I kiss you I get that little thrill,
and I get the feeling I always will
Here come those butterflies again

Ev’ry night my ev’ry little dream comes true,

A-don’t you know that ev’ry time I look into your eyes,

And by the stars above, I swear I’m always gonna be true
Ev’ry Night, I’m gonna spend my life lovin’ you
You’re the one, the only one my heart beats for
The only one I’ll ever idolize and adore
A-don’t you know before you came
my lonely life was just a losin’ game
But now I know I’ll never be the same
The diff’rence is my love for you
And darlin’,

AND SUDDENLY, LOVE JUST HAPPENED
w&m by Dana Countryman
And Suddenly, Love Just Happened
We ran through the raindrops, laughin’
A girl and her lucky fella
We didn’t need an umbrella
So baby, let’s stay together,
Let’s keep it this way forever
I swear I hear angels clappin’
And Suddenly, Love Just Happened, girl
Remember when we first met, you didn’t care for me?
You just turned your head, and walked away A-whoa
But I knew with just one glance that we were meant to be
So, I smiled my smile, I worked my charms,
and all at once, you were in my arms
And Suddenly, Love Just Happened
We ran through the raindrops, laughin’
A girl and her lucky fella
We didn’t need an umbrella
So baby, let’s stay together,
Let’s keep it this way forever
I swear I hear angels clappin’
And Suddenly, Love Just Happened, girl
Now, all of our friends don't understand the way we feel,
but what do we care what people think? A-whoa
'Cause we found a love to last,
and girl, this time it's real
When we fell in love, it wasn't planned
You smiled at me and you took my hand
And Suddenly, Love Just Happened
We ran through the raindrops, laughin’
A girl and her lucky fella
We didn’t need an umbrella
So baby, let’s stay together,
Let’s keep it this way forever
I swear I hear angels clappin’
And Suddenly, Love Just Happened, girl
A fairytale love; they say they never come true
But it happened to me, and it can happen to you

I'LL GET RIGHT BACK TO YOU
w&m by Dana Countryman
Girl, I loved you with all my heart
You said you loved me, too
I never dreamed in a million years
you'd do the things you would do
But you let me down, one too many times
You made me smile too few
And now you ask me how much I care
I'll get right back to you
You say you wanna come back again,
and this time you'll be true
Well, girl you've gotta be kidding me
Do I look like a fool?
'Cause you walked away with some other guy
That wasn't nice to do
So let me check with my broken heart
I'll get right back to you
Time and time you cheated and you lied,
in the arms of someone new
Now you want me in your life again
Well, my dear, that's so very nice of you
So, bye-bye baby, and good luck, girl
It's time that we must part
I'll find somebody in this ol' world who’s kinder to my heart
Let some other guys listen to your lies, but we must bid adieu
I tell you what: in a hundred years,
I'll get right back to you
I'll let you know in a hundred years,
I'll get right back to you

THRILL ME
w&m by Dana Countryman
So baby,
Cuddle up a little closer to me
Whisper little things, send chills right through me
Baby, only you can do that to me
Thrill me
Just the sight of you
turns me on in ways I know I can't explain
There's a thousand little shock waves in my brain
pulling me close to you
And you know it's true
that I've never really felt like this before
But I never really felt a kiss before
until you kissed me
So baby,
Cuddle up a little closer to me
Whisper little things, send chills right through me
Baby, only you can do that to me
Thrill me through and through
And darlin',
put your hand in mine and say you love me
Make a thousand stars light up above me
Put your arms around me,
kiss me once again and
Thrill me
When I hold your hand,
there's a feeling that I don't quite understand
But this crazy world becomes a wonderland
just made for you and me
And you need to know,
you're the only one who makes me feel this way
and there's really only one thing left to say
Girl, you're my destiny
So baby,
Cuddle up a little closer to me
Whisper little things, send chills right through me
Baby, only you can do that to me
Thrill me through and through
And darlin',
put your hand in mine and say you love me
Make a thousand stars light up above me
Put your arms around me,
kiss me once again and
Thrill me

IF I HAD A GIRL
w&m by Dana Countryman and Kai Danzberg
I know I’d never treat her mean, no
This girl I’ve never seen, though
I’d do my best to treat her like a queen
I would adore her
Until then, I wait for her,
And yes, I’m sad and lonely,
but I wouldn’t be lonely
or even sad
If I just had a girl
If I had a girl
to hold my hand,
I’d have someone to understand
When things go wrong, she’d be right there
The kind of girl who would really care
And ev’ry night, my dreams of her make me dizzy
But as of yet, we haven’t met,
so where is she?
If I had a girl,
to walk with me
to simply sit and talk with me
She’d make my lonely life complete
The kind of girl that I’d love to meet
So, ev’ry night, she’s here with me,
even if she’s a fantasy, and
I know I’d never treat her mean, no
This girl I’ve never seen, though
I’d do my best to treat her like a queen
I would adore her
Until then, I wait for her,
And yes, I’m sad and lonely,
but I wouldn’t be lonely
or even sad
If I just had…
…a girl to simply sit and cuddle with
Maybe take a walk,
and splash through a mud puddle with
We’d lay on the grass,
and laugh at faces in the clouds
So, I ask of you,
where is the girl,
to brighten up my lonely world

RUN BACK INTO MY ARMS
w&m by Dana Countryman
Won't you run back into my arms, pretty baby?
Won't you come back where you belong, and just maybe
I can make you see
you're the one girl for me
And my love is so true
Let me prove it to you
And if you run back into my arms, pretty darlin',
don't you ever stray from my arms, pretty darlin',
'cause they're open wide
Won't you nestle inside?
So just kiss me and then,
say you'll never run away again
I thought we had a perfect love,
but little did I know
I thought you loved me, baby,
never thought I'd see you go
but you walked out and left me cryin'
never even said goodbye and
is it really such a crime
for me to ask you one more time...
Won't you run back into my arms, pretty Baby?
Won't you come back where you belong, and just maybe
I can make you see
you're the one girl for me
And my love is so true
Let me prove it to you
And if you run back into my arms, pretty darlin',
don't you ever stray from my arms, pretty darlin',
'cause they're open wide
Won't you nestle inside?
So just kiss me and then,
say you'll never run away again
Since you've been gone
I've been lonely and blue
So give me a chance, girl,
that's all I'm asking of you
Won't you run back into my arms, pretty Baby?
Won't you come back where you belong, and just maybe
I can make you see
you're the one girl for me
So just kiss me and then,
say you'll never run away again
Run back into my arms now, baby
Run back into my arms now, baby

I LIE AWAKE AND DREAM OF YOU
w&m by Dana Countryman
I turn the lights out, and I go to bed,
but it’s no use I can’t get the thought of you out of my head.
It’s really quite a joke to try to sleep,
‘cause I close my eyes and that’s the time your memory I keep
So I lie awake and wonder if you’re awake like me,
the only thing I’m sure of, is tonight it’s gonna be
Another night of counting sheep,
another night I’ll never sleep
I close my eyes, but your face keeps shinin’ through
So instead, I lie awake and dream of you
Is this the real thing? It’s so hard to tell,
‘cause after all it’s true that I don’t know you all that well
My friends all tell me not to lose my head, so I try to listen to them
but I lose my heart instead
I stare out of my window and watch the stars above
Another sleepless night, and just another fool in love
Another night of counting sheep,
another night I’ll never sleep
I close my eyes, but your face keeps shinin’ through
So instead, I lie awake and dream of you
Maybe I’m a fool to carry on the way I do
But I know I’d only fall asleep, and start to dream of you
I close my eyes, but your face keeps shinin’ through
So instead, I lie awake and dream,
instead, I lie awake and dream…
instead, I lie awake and dream of you

EVERY TIME YOU BREAK MY HEART AGAIN
Dana Countryman
I really should leave you, girl
You treat me thoughtlessly
You’ve been seen out with other guys
and none of them were me
They say you’re no good for me,
and that’s probably true
But something inside of me hangs on,
so what can I do?
‘Cause every time you break my heart again
I tell myself I’m through with you but then,
I forget to march right out the door
I’m still here like I was before
I tell myself to stay away from you,
but that’s exactly what I never do
I’m a fool in love,
and that’s how I’ve always been
And soon enough,
You’ll break my heart again
I’m gonna pack up my things,
this really can’t go on
So, you’re gonna wake up and find,
tomorrow I will be gone
I really deserve a life
that’s much better than this
But then I forget all that
whenever we start to kiss
‘Cause every time you break my heart again
I tell myself I’m through with you but then,
I forget to march right out the door
I’m still here like I was before
I tell myself to stay away from you,
but that’s exactly what I never do
I’m a fool in love,
and that’s how I’ve always been
And soon enough,
You’ll break my heart again
Every time you break my heart again
I tell myself to stay away from you
Every time you break my heart again
but that’s exactly what I never do. etc.

NO OTHER GUY
Dana Countryman
No other guy could love you half as much as I do
No other guy could find another girl like you
No other girl in this whole world
could knock me out like you do
One kiss from your lips
can thrill me to my fingertips
Over the years, our love is gonna stand the test of time,
long as I have your hand right here in mine
No other girl could steal my heart,
and make my dreams come true
No other guy could love you half as much as I do
One day, one girl took my hand
and she took my breath away
You were that one girl
I thank my lucky stars
for that lucky day
All at once, you smiled, and
I found your hand in my hand
Ev'rything changed when you came into view
Now I wanna be around you
How did I exist till the day we kissed?
Glad I found you
You're a part of me, and you'll always be
Through the years, I'll be right here
You’ve made my dreams come true
No other guy could love you
half as much as I do
No other guy could love you half as much as I do
No other guy could find another girl like you
No other girl in this whole world
could knock me out like you do
One kiss from your lips
can thrill me to my fingertips
Over the years, our love is gonna stand the test of time,
long as I have your hand right here in mine
No other girl could steal my heart,
and make my dreams come true
No other guy could love you half as much as I do

JUST ANOTHER LOVE SONG
w&m by Dana Countryman
I sat down and I tried to write a song today,
to say the words “I love you” in a brand new way
But I guess it’s all been said in thousand other songs
So I wrote this one, it’s the best that I could do
It’s really nothing new
And so I sing just another love song
Just another melody you’ve prob’ly heard before
The only thing – it’s not just another love song,
It’s the one I wrote for you
And ev’ry word, and ev’ry note is true
It’s not just another love song,
‘cause this one’s just for you
I played this melody at least a hundred times
I struggled with the words to find the perfect rhymes
Tried to say how much I care, and that’s the hardest part
But you make me smile, and I hear a melody,
and this one’s from the heart
And so I sing just another love song
Just another melody you’ve prob’ly heard before
The only thing – it’s not just another love song,
It’s the one I wrote for you
And ev’ry word, and ev’ry note is true
It’s not just another love song,
‘cause this one’s just for you
