PERFECT SUNNY DAY Dana Countryman It’s such a perfect, sunny day There’s not a single cloud of gray We’re together, skippin’ on down the street, smilin’ at folks we meet on a perfect day There’s nothing that I’d rather do, than spend a sunny day with you Nothing better than walkin’ and holdin’ hands, makin’ our future plans CHORUS (The summer sun’ll warm ya,) Oh, it’s a beautiful day (and ev’ry day is like California) It’s heaven (As long as we’re together,) Such a beautiful day (the summer feeling will last forever) We’ve got the world on a string (What a beautiful day) And we can do anything on this beautiful day (I hope it lasts forever) It’s such a Perfect Sunny Day A perfect day to take a drive Oh, what a day to be alive Pretty girls are laying out in the sun Everyone’s having fun CHORUS A lazy day to walk in the park with you We’ll have a picnic under a tree So nice to have a day with not much to do, but be with you, just me and you INST Little children, havin’ a water fight They’re gonna sleep good tonight CHORUS ©2017 Friends/Romans Music, BMI

No Other Guy 03:13
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 ©2017 Friends Romans Music, BMI

I CAN’T STOP THINKIN’ ‘BOUT YOU Dana Countryman My friends all tell me that I should really be over you I should say goodbye to my broken heart, and find somebody new So I go out with other girls, but everytime I do I can't help it, I can't stop thinkin’ ‘bout you I try so hard to avoid the places we used to go But ev’rywhere I turn, there’s a memory - another sign of you There’s the little cafe’ where we used to rendezvous I can't help it, I can't stop thinkin’ ‘bout you I can’t stop thinkin’ about the way that you kiss I can’t stop thinkin’ of all the things that I miss about you, baby INST. What would it take to get you back again? Why did I ever let you go? Whoa-whoa In every photograph on my wall, there you are with me And it breaks my heart, we were so in love, the way we used to be I tell myself to just move on, but what good does it do? When it’s you, girl, I can’t stop thinkin’ ‘bout you, girl, I can’t stop thinkin’ ‘bout you, girl, I can't stop thinkin’ ‘bout you ©2017 Friends Romans Music, BMI

Oh! Roxann 03:46
OH! ROXANN In a small town, long ago there lived a boy who loved you so But he was too shy to let you know, Roxann Maybe if he had only have dared, maybe you would have learned to have cared Maybe, but I was just too scared, you see…. I loved you, Roxann, dreamed about you, Roxann But dreams just weren’t enough to make it all come true, not for me and you Roxann, how I loved you, Roxann But girl, you never knew Oh! Roxann From within my little shell, I played my Cyrano so well That’s such a perfect parallel, Roxann ‘Cause just like Cyrano, I was afraid It was much safer from where I stayed, And so, I lived in my charade from you I loved you, Roxann, dreamed about you, Roxann But dreams just weren’t enough to make it all come true, not for me and you Roxann, how I loved you, Roxann But girl, you never knew Oh! Roxann Oh! Roxann Oh! Roxann The lonely boy you never knew, is still around, and remembers you Roxann, Oh! Roxann I still think of you, Oh! Roxann ©2017 Friends Romans Music, BMI

NOT JUST A LINE Dana Countryman All I’m really tryin’ to say, hey-ey, is I’m in love with you more each day Yes, it's true I'm in love And there's no one who thrills me the way that you do, girl And it's you that I love There can only be one in my life, and it's you, girl But you keep telling me it’s not true It’s just a line I’m using on you Don't you know this is love? Can't you feel it each time our lips touch, that it’s true love This could only be love When you feel my heart pound, every beat is for you, love. But you insist it's only a line, that I've been using all of this time, don’t you know… Oh, no, It’s not just a line No, it’s not just a line No, it’s not just a line when I say ‘Baby, I Love You’ It’s not just a line, It’s true, ooh Yes, it’s true I’m in love So you see I'm in love and I hope there’s a chance that you feel what I feel, love Could it be you're in love?

Summer Love 02:59
SUMMER LOVE w&m by Dana Countryman Driving late at night, cuddled up against each other Not a car in sight, driving along with my lover Summer Love One night with no words to be said Summer Love Driving our way back home Gentle summer air, blows in on an aging Friday Darkness ev’rywhere, just the headlights on the highway Summer Love One night with no words to be said Summer Love Driving our way back home And I’ve been driving in ecstasy, that’s how I feel when she’s next to me And through the years it’s the times like these I’ll remember As I feel her breathe, gently rise and gently falling I don’t want to leave, but the morning light is calling Summer Love One night with no words to be said Summer Love Driving our way back home ©2017 Friends Romans Music, BMI

YOU ARE MY ROCK w&m Dana Countryman You Are My Rock You are the firm foundation I’ve built my life upon You Are My Rock, you’re always there, when all of my so-called friends have gone No matter what troubles the world may hand us, I know we’ll see them through ‘Cause You Are My Rock, and I’m so glad that I have you Have I told you lately I’m so glad you’re in my life? Well, if I haven’t, honey, it’s so true And in a world where just turning on the news can get me down, I know that I’d never make it without you (CHORUS) There must be a million times I’ve looked at you and smiled, mostly when you are fast asleep And you’ll never know the times I say a silent prayer, to thank the Lord for choosing you for me (CHORUS) So glad I have you ©2017 Friends Romans Music BMI

WITHOUT YOU, I HAVE NOTHING Dana Countryman I’ve got it all, a mansion on the Riviera, the kind of house that most can only dream of But I’d give it all up in a minute It’s not a home if you’re not in it Without you, I have nothing What’s the point in life without you? What good does fame and fortune do, if I don’t have you? This house seems cold and empty, ever since the day you left me Hallways that echo sounds of you, but you’re not in them, baby Without you I have nothing I’ve wined and dined with movie stars in California Expensive cars - I’ve owned the finest around But I’d give it all up in a minute to have a life with you back in it Without you, I have nothing What’s the point in life without you? What good does fame and fortune do, if I don’t have you? This house seems cold and empty, ever since the day you left me Hallways that echo sounds of you, but you’re not in them, baby Without you I have nothing © 2017 Friends Romans Music, BMI

August Dream 03:57
AUGUST DREAM w&m by Dana Countryman On the beach there were stars that fell, A moonlit night, a carousel, and you, you were there with the stars in your hair Your dress was black as the night, and there were flowers in your arms and misty watercolors in your eyes, Under soft August skies We sat down on the sand and I brushed your chin with my hand And oh, what a moment of love A seagull circled above, and what I heard of his cries, They couldn’t match the sound of your sighs I was cold, but your skin was warm Then suddenly, a summer storm drew near, as you touched me and I kissed your ear Your dress fell back like the tide, oh, as I melted in your arms and tasted all the loveliness of you, as the sweet sea-breeze grew Then a stir hit the wind, the carousel started to spin And you and I became as one, the magic dance had begun And when we opened our eyes, the morning sun had started to rise Then I woke and I kissed your cheek You smiled at me, we didn’t speak But was it a dream? Was it only a dream? © 2017 Friends Romans Music, BMI

IT’S AN AMAZON DOT COM KIND OF CHRISTMAS Dana Countryman It’s an Amazon dot com kind of Christmas Today I buy my Christmas things online It’s the modern way to shop for gifts, espec’lly for my spouse I just bought her a bathrobe and I never left the house It’s too bad about the stores that are closing But, say goodbye to Penny’s and to Sears Well, I’ve got Amazon stock, you see, so why would it matter that much to me? An Amazon dot com kind of Christmas Hey mom, guess what I did when I was on the bus today? I did all of my shopping on my phone It’s great never to have to take a trip down to the mall, when I can get delivery by a drone! It’s an Amazon dot com kind of Christmas The packages pile up outside my door Hey now, what’s the deal? Some dirty jerk just rang my bell and ran But wait a minute - it’s okay It’s only the UPS man And if you run out of ideas for Grandma, don’t settle for another fruitcake yet With your Prime Membership you can get the President’s head as a Chia Pet It’s Amazon, this Christmas So add me to your Wish List It’s an Amazon dot com kind of Christmas ©2017 Friends Romans Music, BMI

about

Dana Countryman Seattle, Washington

This artist remains a mystery. He never performs live in concert, these days. Deeply allergic to hip-hop and most modern radio sounds, he stays happy in his retro pop world.
