MY ESPRIT
Verse 1: He walks down the road / To knock on her door / He greets her in the morn / He says she’s the sunrise to his day / But her colors won’t fade away
Verse 2: He wraps his arms around the girl / And kisses her on the cheek / They walk along the ocean’s mark / On the sand in Martinique
Pre-Chorus: The sun’s rays shine against her smile / He’d look at her for a million more miles / He tells her
Chorus: Take a look in the mirror those dazzlin’ eyes / Are the ones I cannot tell good-bye / They dance like the stars of the dark night sky / They shine so bright that you cannot deny / Oh oh oh oh you guide me where I wanna be / Oh oh oh oh you’re my esprit
Verse 3: She leans on him with their fingers intertwined / His scent is ingrained into her mind / She blushes with a shimm’rin’ rosy glow / As the waves start to crash against the rocks down below / She tells him
Chorus
Bridge: Tell me that you’ll take me away / Tell me that we’ll fly so high / We can sail across the ocean blue / As long as I’m standing next to you
Instrumental
Chorus
Verse 4: “Baby when we meet again we’ll travel the world / From the East to the West you’ll be my girl” / She says don’t you worry that’s what we’ll do / But until that day the stars mark our “I do’s”
Outro: Oh oh oh oh you guide me where I wanna be / Oh oh oh oh you’re my esprit

BEFORE I REMINISCE
Verse 1: Frozen still / My mind draws a blank / Cold as ice / I can barely think
Pre-chorus 1: ‘Cause when I see you standing there / Looking so good / Your hand’s around her little waist / Maybe like it should / I walk around the corner only to find this, / I’ll button up my coat, and leave / Before I reminisce.
Verse 2: Who are we / But strangers from the past / You look like / Someone I once knew
Pre-chorus 2: He was tall and strong / Brighter than light / Made the butterflies in me turn to fireflies / He held my hand with the warmth of his touch / Without a beat, he was where I wanted to be
Bridge: I’ll smile, I’ll grin / I’ll put on a face to welcome her in / I’ll watch from afar / I’ll keep on moving from wherever you are / One step at a time / You’ll go your path and I’ll go mine
Pre-chorus 1
Outro: Before I reminisce.

CARDBOARD SPACESHIP
Verse 1: Do you remember when we / Built that cardboard spaceship on a hill / Dressed in silver, tied with string / We could fly on out of this world
Verse 2: Grass up to my knees / Arms full of wire and copper rings / Piping and metal scraps for wings / And a blanket to keep us warm inside of this thing
Pre-chorus: My helmet is strapped on / The seatbelt is clicked in / Ready to count 3-2-1 / Into outer space with him
Chorus: Lift off / Over the mountains, trees, and hills / Take off / From this land of worries and wills
Verse 3: Do you remember when we / Built that cardboard spaceship on a hill / Moon walking in endless space / And knowing there was no limit to that place
Pre-Chorus
Bridge (2x): From this window / I could see / You and me / Above the sea / From this window / I could see / You and me / And Mercury
Chorus

LOVE OF MINE
Verse 1: Wake up, love of mine / Rise up, feel the sunshine / Start your day without any grey / If you lose yourself, come my way

NOTICE ME
Verse 1: I sit and watch by the moon / Thinking about you / Don't know where I'm goin' / But I'm losing my mind / 'Cause I think about you all the time
Pre-Chorus: But you don't notice me / You just keep on walking by / And I do notice you / And your big brown eyes
Chorus: I'll just sit here admiring from afar / As you keep on talkin' up a storm / But when you smile at me / I get weak in the knees / And the stars in the sky shine so clearly
Verse 2: Your personality is glistening / Your hands are tough and strong / How do you seem so perfect / Even when you're foolin' around?

Bridge: When you walk by me / My heart starts to beat / Can you see my shaking hands? / When you turn around / I want to fall to the ground / But you look at me instead
Pre-Chorus: But you finally notice me / Instead of keep on walking by / And I do notice you / And your big brown eyes
Chorus: I'll just sit here admiring from afar / As you keep on talkin' up a storm / But when you smile at me / I get weak in the knees / And the stars in the sky shine so clearly
