The Way You Say My Name

She misses the way he looked at her
The way he said her name
The way his kisses caused her to shudder
His touch like igniting a flame

He misses the way she wanted him
Made him feel like a man
The way her kiss set his head to spinning
On fire from the touch of her hand

     Has the spark gone cold?
     I miss the heat of the flame
     Has this love grown old?
     I miss the way you say my name

     I miss the way, I miss the way 
     I miss the way you say my name
     I miss the way, I miss the way 
     I miss the way you say my name

She misses the way he looked at her
The way he said her name
He misses her kisses that caused him to shudder
Her touch like igniting a flame

     Has the spark gone cold?
     I miss the heat of the flame
     Has this love grown old?
     I miss the way you say my name

     I miss the way, I miss the way
     I miss the way you say my name
     I miss the way, I miss the way
     I miss the way you say my name

Blame It On Sunday

(I woke up in the middle of the night and wrote most of this, dictating it into my phone, tune and all.  Blame it on insomnia!)

Blame it on a day where 
   there’s nothing else to do
But sit here in my chair     
   and think about you
I might have a couple drinks     
   to calm my shaking hands
Then I’ll have a couple more     
   just to wash them down
Just to wash them down
Just to wash them down

I have memories of moments     
   they’re frozen in time
They play out like a movie     
   across my mind
I can keep it all inside     
   hold it all at bay
But the dam bursts open wide     
   every single Sunday
Every single Sunday
Every single Sunday

Blame it on a day where     
   whiskey takes control
Numbs me so I don’t care    
   breaks down the wall
I’ve cried rivers of regret     
   the tears of a clown
Drowning in a bottle     
   head spinning round and round
Head spinning round and round
Head spinning round and round


We said that we’d be okay     
   just you wait and see
Now I wallow in self-pity     
   this one day a week
Blame it on Sunday     
   don’t lay the blame on me
Blame it on Sunday     
   don’t lay the blame on me
Don’t lay the blame on me
Don’t lay the blame on me

Never Is Enough

The question you asked is hanging in the air
Just floating in between us there
Time around me seems to be stopped
The temperature in the room just dropped
As I realize that we aren’t getting anywhere

People always said that we were such a pair
When we went out they’d stop and stare
Things didn’t turn out like we’d hoped
Would’ve been different if we could’ve coped
Now it’s time to analyze how much we still care

You asked me when is enough?
When is enough, when is enough enough?
When two people are in love

Some are never asked to prove
Most will never force the move
Not until the pushing comes to the shove
Or their lover calls their bluff
Then they’re forced to choose or to lose

So, tell me, when is enough?
When is enough, when is enough enough?
When two people are in love
Never is enough,
Never is enough, never is enough enough
When two people are in love

The question you asked is still hanging out there
Begging me to answer if I dare
Trust is a bubble that shouldn’t be popped
But love is a mountain that can’t be topped
Nobody ever promised you that life would be fair

They always said our kind of love was rare
Flying high on a wing and a prayer
If love is a power that can’t be stopped
A signal so strong it won’t be dropped
Then there’s nothing in this world that we can’t bear

You asked me when is enough?
When is enough, when is enough enough?
When two people are in love

Some are never asked to prove
Most will never force the move
Not until the pushing comes to the shove
Or their lover calls their bluff
Then they’re forced to choose or to lose

So, tell me, when is enough?
When is enough, when is enough enough?
When two people are in love
Never is enough,
Never is enough, never is enough enough
Never is enough,
Never is enough, never is enough enough
When two people are in love
