YOU ALWAYS WERE

PLAY IT LOUD

HOW DID I KNOW

Composition by Kenny Levine
Lyrics by Fran Pitre
Produced by Kenny Levine and Fran Pitre
Album "YOU ALWAYS WERE" © 2018

My back was to the water
So I didn’t hear or see
Your wave was just about
To crash all over me
I did not see you coming
And I didn’t plan on you
Oh then my surprised and opened heart
You flowed right into

It had been so long but not so far
That I’d forget the voice.
Confused and frustrated
To a path with little choice
I’m on a road I thought had ended
But now it’s back on course.
My hopes, my fears, my dreams now spin
With desire and such force

CHORUS
Why did you come back now?
Why, when everything was on as planned?
I’m trying hard to understand
With feelings not felt for so long
With passion so warm and so strong
Your song grows within me
Where it first started to stir
You’re now a part of who I am
But I think you always were

I stood to balance my heart and head
To feel that I was steady
Your wave had washed me off my feet
And though I’m far from ready
Well, here I am, I’m saying yes
Watch me the leap
Oh, and here’re my heart, my soul, my mind
They’re yours to keep. Oh... oh....

Instrumental

CHORUS
Ohhh, why did you come back now?
Why, when everything was on as planned?
I’m trying hard to understand.
With feelings not felt for so long
With passion so warm and so strong
Your song grows within me
Where it first started to stir
You’re now a part of who I am
But I think you always were

And, I love that you came back now
Now, it’s ‘cause of you that all has changed
My life has now been rearranged
Oh by feelings not felt for so long
With passion so warm and so strong
Your song flows within me
Where it first started to stir
You’re now a part of who I am
But I think you always were

I know you always were
You always were

I hit the floor runnin’
‘Cuz that’s the way I roll
Get kids up, kids fed
And out with some control
I’ll play it calm
I’ll play it sweet
Takin’ care of business
And crossin’ all the T’s

But then when time is mine again
I’ll climb into my ride
I’ll open up my playlist
To start the drivin’ slide

CHORUS
I play it loud
I play it up
Other drivers say, “Girl, what’s up?”
‘Can be myself
Release some stress
And sing for me, not to impress
I’ll sing em’ fast, or I’ll sing ‘em slow
But I’ll play it loud!
I’ll play it loud!

It’s off to work I go
Get there just in time
To clock in, say hello
‘Time to earn a dime
I’ll play it cool
I’ll play it pro
Keep groovin’ til the clock says it’s
Time to go

But then when time is mine again
I’ll climb back in my ride
I’ll open up my playlist
To start the drivin’ slide

Repeat CHORUS

Hey, but when I’m away from you
I can’t wait to get back
Oh, oh, you know me so well
No games to play
And soon I’ll be in your arms
Where I’ll stay ... yeah

Instrumental

Repeat Chorus 2x

Lyrics by Fran Pitre

Album "YOU ALWAYS WERE" © 2018

Sometimes you catch my eye
With a wink
A kiss on my neck
While I stand at the sink
You leave for work in the dark
But not without a kiss
Your scent left in my hair
It’s you I already miss

Sometimes it’s just another busy day
I’ll look forward to the night
The plans we’ve made
You’d think in all of this time
The waves would cease to be
That I couldn’t still feel
Butterflies inside me

CHORUS
How did I know you’d be the one
To make my dreams come true?
That there’d be joy and pain
That we’d go through

That you’d love me
Through good and bad
In this life we’ve made
Hold our children, laugh with me
Wipe my tears when I’m afraid
How did I know?
How did I know?

It hasn’t been perfect
But we never quit
We’ve been connected
Been a perfect fit
Well thank you babe
For your promise
To share our life together
You still take my breath away
I’ll thank God every day

Instrumental

How did I know
When we were so young?
How did I know?

CHORUS
How did I know you’d be the one
To make my dreams come true?
That there’d be joy and pain
That we’d go through
That you’d love me
Through good and bad
In this life we’ve made
Hold our children, laugh with me
Wipe my tears when I’m afraid
How did I know?
How did I know?

Repeat CHORUS

WHEN I HOLD YOU

NEW YORKER AT HEART

TAKE YOUR TIME

Composition by Kenny Levine
Lyrics by Fran Pitre
Produced by Kenny Levine and Fran Pitre
Album "YOU ALWAYS WERE" © 2018

I wanted you so much
First, you were only a dream
I needed you in my life
A natural step it would seem

I didn’t feel ready for a while
But when I felt that I could
I longed so hard for you
Like I never thought I would

CHORUS
And then I held you in my arms
And my world’s complete
What did I do to deserve you?
You’ve made my life so sweet.

Time rolls along and life is filled
with good times and with bad
You and I have grown together
On this journey that we’ve had

CHORUS
And when I hold you in my arms
And my world’s complete
What did I do to deserve you?
You’ve made my life so sweet.

BRIDGE
I left one day, too, you know
What I feel was once felt by another
It’s what must happen, you know
When a woman becomes a mother

Instrumental

Oh, still when I hold you in my arms
My world’s complete
What did I do to deserve you?
You’ve made my life so sweet
Honey you’ve made my life so sweet

Baby, you make my life so sweet

Whenever I’m asked where I’m from
I’ll think of the states where I’ve lived
Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Florida
But New York is the answer I give

Not just about geography
A state of mind can’t be explained
When you get it, you get it, you can’t shake it
A spirit and force that can’t be drained

When I’m in the city, it’s like I never left
I’m at home on the stage or on the street
Thriving in the speed, the sights, the sounds
Can walk forever, ignor my sore feet

CHORUS
My loves are in the sunshine state
where our home has been for a while
But when I get the chance to fly up
I just can’t help but smile
The city’s alive and in my blood
My dreams were born here from the start
It’s a love affair my husband doesn’t mind
Cuz I’m a true New Yorker at heart

I’m living my dream and feel blessed
This city has played a big part
It always welcomes me with opened arms
The day it was hurt, broke my heart

There’re special places in the world
But if you ask me, Heaven’s here.
Not all would agree, ‘cuz it has its faults
But from the rooftops, the future looks clear!

Instrumental

Oh, when I’m in the city, it’s like I never left
I’m at home on the stage or on the street
Thriving in the speed, the sights, the sounds
Can walk forever, ignor my sore feet

CHORUS
My loves are in the sunshine state
where our home has been for a while
But when I get the chance to fly up
I just can’t help but smile
The city’s alive and in my blood
My dreams were born here from the start
It’s a love affair my husband doesn’t mind
Cuz I’m a true New Yorker at heart

It’s a love affair my husband doesn’t really mind
Cuz I’m a true New Yorker at heart
A true New Yorker at heart
A true New Yorker at heart

We’re all in such a hurry
Rush to get there, rush to leave
We put on such pressure
We push to do more, push to achieve.

Let’s break this cycle
Break this long, gripping chain
Step out just for a while
Before we wreck our own fast train

CHORUS
Slow down, take a breath,
Put down that blasted phone
Take a walk, take a hike
spend some time alone
Take a chance, take a minute
Take a break, it’s not a crime
Take a risk, take good advice
Take a trip, and take your time
Just take your time!

Where’s all the hurry got us?
Pressure, fear and pain
We are just hurting ourselves
We’re hurting our heart, soul, and brain.

It’s time to see the details
Smell the roses, gaze into eyes
Love deeper, hug longer
And love ourselves without disguise yeah.

Repeat CHORUS

Whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa

INSTRUMENTAL

Just take your time
Just take your time

Repeat CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

Just take your time ... yeah
Whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa
Ah

Yeah
Slow down, take a breath,
Put down that blasted phone
Take a walk, take a hike
Spend some time alone
Take a chance, take a minute,
Take a break, it’s not a crime
Take a risk, take good advice
Take a trip, and take your time

Just take your time

YOU DIDN'T WANT ME

Composition by Kenny Levine
Lyrics by Fran Pitre
Produced by Kenny Levine and Fran Pitre
Album "YOU ALWAYS WERE" © 2018

There was something about you
Your smile, your laugh, your eyes
It’s true what they say
That you really fall.
Happened so fast, so surprised

Shook my head, could not be true
Tried to brush it off, could not be real
But it was strong
Would not be ignored
Why can’t we control the way we feel?

CHORUS
I wanted these feeling to end.
Until they were gone, I couldn’t feel free
I fell so hard, but I had to accept that
You didn’t want me.
You didn’t want me.

I wanted to be mad at you
But I couldn’t blame you for
Not feeling the same
I’d been in that spot you were in
Nothing done wrong,
No fault to blame

CHORUS
I wanted these feeling to end
Until they were gone, I couldn’t feel free
I fell so hard, but I had to accept that
You didn’t want me.
OH
You didn’t want me ... oh no

Instrumental

Repeat CHORUS

TAKE ME BACK

THIS HEART

Composition by Kenny Levine
Lyrics by Fran Pitre
Produced by Kenny Levine and Fran Pitre
Single release © 2019

I remember a time when we wanted
Only to be alone
Discovering one another
Giving freely to each other
As love had grown

I turn and look at you now
So close yet so far away
When did it happen
That we let our life get in our way?

BRIDGE
When I close my eyes
I’ll dream of the times
You touched me softly
And held me tight
I’ll wake to tears burning my eyes and I know
Our love will be worth any fight

CHORUS
Take me back
Take me where nothing matters but us
Take me back
Take me back
I’ll give you all of me, please know you can trust
Take me back

In the dark I can feel when you touch me
Your hand warm on my skin
Another dream, I don’t want to wake
How long has it been?

My eyes still closed and you kiss me
My heart wells up in tears
I’ve missed you so much
My body betrays my hopes and fears

What’s happened to us?
When did we lose the sight of what matters most?
Take me back in your arms
And back to a time
When our love was alive
Not a ghost

Repeat CHORUS

When I close my eyes
I’ll dream of the times
You touched me softly
And held me tight
I’ll wake to tears burning my eyes and I know
Our love will be worth any fight

Long ago this heart
Fell in love
A love so sure was sent
From up above
For a time it beat with passion
It was so warm
But betrayal ignited a painful storm

CHORUS 1
Now I feel so drawn to you
I can never repeat the past
If I agree to let you in
Will you prove your love will last
Can we make it through together
And make this heart
Beat forever?

Through the hard rain
It began to tear
This heart of mine would beat
But without a care
It tore away from the pain
And all the grief
Forever to ache became its belief

CHORUS 2
And now I feel so drawn to you
But I can never repeat the past
If I agree to let you in
Can we make it through together
And make this heart
Beat forever?

BRIDGE
I can feel you moving
Under my skin
You have my defenses
Wearing thin
Please prove that I can trust you
So I can let you in

CHORUS 3
Cuz now I feel so close to you
But I can never repeat the past
If I agree to let you in
Will you prove your love will last
Can we make it through together
And make this heart
Beat forever?
And make this love last forever?

JUST LIKE THAT

Composition by Kenny Levine

Lyrics by Fran Pitre

Produced by Kenny Levine and Fran Pitre

We go all along everyday
Our lives pull and demand
So much to do, so much to say
On track as we planned

So busy we can’t see
What’s right around
Just like the drop of a hat
It turns upside down

Don’t have it figured out
Probably never will
We’re filled with doubt, wish our minds stood still

CHORUS
And just like that it can all change
Whoa oh! Flip like a switch
Just like that we head for the ditch
Uh oh!

A blindside that shakes us could cause us to unhitch
Just like that! Just like that!
Stay strong, we got this
No matter what the sitch
Just like that! Just like that!

And so jolted off right off our base
We don’t know what just hit
Shook to the soul, out of control
Feels like nothing can fit

But change can make new things
Embrace the chance
Life now is re-directed
Here’s a brand new dance

Don’t have it figured out
Probably never will
We’re filled with doubt, wish our minds stood still

CHORUS
And Just like that it can all change
Whoa oh! Flip like a switch
Just like that we head for the ditch
Uh oh!

A blindside that shakes us could can us to unhitch
Just like that! Just like that!
Stay strong, we got this
No matter what the sitch
Just like that! Just like that!
Oo…Oo Just like that! Just like that!
Oo…Oo Just like that! Just like that!

INTERLUDE

Just like that it can all change
Whoa oh! Flip like a switch
Just like that we head for the ditch
Uh oh!
Oo…Oo Just like that! Just like that!
Oo…Oo Just like that! Just like that!
REPEAT x2

I AM TELLING YOU NOW

Composition by Kenny Levine

Lyrics by Fran Pitre

Produced by Kenny Levine and Fran Pitre

I used to say what I was feeling
And didn’t hold back out of fear
But as time went on
I started concealing
Because of doubt, my dear
I was afraid to get too near
I pulled from your touch
And we missed so much

CHORUS
So I am telling you now
I know we can’t return
I’m telling you now
It’s time for love we yearn
Yes I am telling you now
I know that this is true
I’m telling you now
I’m telling you now I love you

No, we’re not promised tomorrow
Don’t let another day go through
Cuz time is what we ...
We only borrow
And we’d better tell the ones
We love that we do

SHORT CHORUS
So I am telling you now
Though I know we can’t return
I’m telling you now
It’s time for love we yearn
Yes, I am telling you now
Now, I love you

BRIDGE
If I could go back I would
I’d break down the wall
I’d love you the way that I should
And there would be no doubt at all
There would be no doubt at all .... oooo

INSTRUMENTAL

CHORUS
So I am telling you now
Though I know we can’t return
I’m telling you now

I’m telling you now I love you

INSTRUMENTAL

I am telling you now
I know that this is true
I’m telling you now
I’m telling you now I love you

Who isn’t all confused today?
Don’t know what to believe
Decisions are so hard to weigh
How vocal should we be?

I know I need you in my life
I’m your child, I’m you daughter
When I’m down and when I thirst
You’re my cool ...

When I feel many are my foe
Your hand is what I take!
And when I’m down and when I thirst
You’re my cool ...

Drink of water

I close the door at day’s end
Little strength left to cope
Turn to you to restore belief and hope

WHILE I STILL CAN

Composition by Kenny Levine

Lyrics by Fran Pitre

Produced by Kenny Levine and Fran Pitre

I can’t believe you’re who I see
Just twenty feet away from me
But there you are drink in your hand
Standing over near the band

And here I go always the same
Since that time you said my name
I shook your hand looked in your eyes
What I felt was pure surprise

CHORUS
They call it law of attraction
I call it a crime
Can’t stop this over reaction
that happens every time

It’s such a wicked infraction
What you do to me
You’re just a tempting distraction
I really just don’t need
It’s time to take the law into my own hands
and break its grip
While I still can
While I still can

The room’s soft light against your face
These thoughts of you, I must erase
Why are you walking up to me?
I’ll lose my mind, can’t you see?

Must get a grip let no one see
This power you’ve got over me
My sweating hands my shaking knees
(Sigh) The heat is spreading
(Spoken) “Stop it please”

I’m trying hard to stay in line
Not get all caught up in you
But then you look at me, and I can see
Oh No! You feel it, too.

CHORUS

They call it law of attraction
I call it a crime
I can’t stop this over reaction
that happens every time

It’s such a wicked infraction
What you do to me
You’re just a tempting distraction
I really just don’t need
It’s time to take the law into my own hands
and break its grip
While I still can

While I still can!!

Instrumental

I’m trying hard to stay in line
Not get all caught up in you
But then you look at me, and I can see
Oh No! You feel it, too.

CHORUS

They call it law of attraction
I call it a crime
Can’t stop this over reaction
that happens every time

It’s such a wicked infraction
What you do to me
You’re just a tempting distraction
I really just don’t need
It’s time to take the law into my own hands
and break its grip
While I still can

While I still can

CARRY ME AWAY
(COME TO MY SENSES)

Composition by Kenny Levine

Lyrics by Fran Pitre

Produced by Kenny Levine and Fran Pitre

Jasmine’s sweet perfume
Gently fills the air
Moving past the swaying palms
I’m suddenly aware

CHORUS
Oh please just carry me away
Carry me away
Carry me awaaaaaay

Carry me away
(Allow the seduction)
Carry me away
(A welcome abduction)
Carry me awaaaaaay
(Escape my defenses)

And come to my senses

Step deep in cooling sand
Soft breezes dance around
Ocean waves that rush and sigh
Consoling winds surround

I’m now far less aware
Of what is in my view
Distant voices gust my hair
But I still search.... for you

(short violin/piano solo)

Carry me away
Carry me away
Carry me awaaaaaay

And come to my senses

And come to my senses
Carry me away
(Allow the seduction)
Carry me away
(A welcome abduction)
Carry me awaaaaaay
(Escape my defenses)

And come to my senses

WHAT CHOOSING

REALLY MEANS

Composition by Kenny Levine

Lyrics by Fran Pitre

Produced by Kenny Levine and Fran Pitre

Shhhhhh. Breathe.

You can’t believe your eyes

There can’t be 2 pink lines

It can’t be true. It can’t be you!

Shockwaves travel all the way down

You can’t breathe

You think you’re gonna drown

You start to shake. Your world starts to break

Shhhhhh, Breathe.

CHORUS
Calm down and remember
that this is nothing new
But everything’s upside down
What are you gonna do?
Keep in mind
What choosing really means
What choosing really means

Instrumental

Shhhhhh, Breathe.

CHORUS

Calm down and remember
that this is nothing new
But everything’s upside down
What are you gonna do?
Keep in mind
What choosing really means
What choosing really means

We know what many others think

Problem solved in just a blink

But many will say that was their worst day (worst)

Fear grips, and tears begin to fall

You drop to your knees

Can’t walk, can’t even crawl

Your eyes look above. Could love be enough? (Yes)

CHORUS

Calm down and remember

that this is nothing new

But everything’s upside down

What are you gonna do?

Keep in mind

What choosing really means

Shhhhhh, Breathe.

WE DON'T SEE THE WIND

Composition by Kenny Levine

Lyrics by Fran Pitre

Produced by Kenny Levine and Fran Pitre

Is it all ... just a random thing?
Do we just all happen to be?
Or do we pilot
our own journeys?
If and when we cross the sea?

Is it even ... even more than that?
From forces that we cannot see
That drive us to do the things we do
To become who we’re meant to be?

CHORUS
We don’t
We don’t see the wind
But we know what it can do
It can billow, it can gust
It can arrive without a clue

We don’t
We don’t see the wind
But we know what it can do
It can rustle, it can shake
It can blindside or stir us awake

Want to hear
I want to feel the breeze
As it whispers into my ear
Says to spread my wings,
fly above the wind
That I have nothing to fear.

Instrumental Guitar

Instrumental Sax

CHORUS
We don’t
We don’t see the wind
But we know what it can do
It can billow, it can gust
It can arrive without a clue

We don’t
We don’t see the wind
But we know what it can do
It can rustle, it can shake
It can blindside or stir us awake

We don’t
We don’t see the wind
But we know what it can do
It can rustle, it can shake
It can blindside or stir us awake

We have nothing to fear
We have nothing to fear
We have nothing to fear

YOU WERE THERE

Composition by Kenny Levine

Lyrics by Fran Pitre

Produced by Kenny Levine and Fran Pitre

You were there before I was a thought
You were there when I first came to be
You were there when I first tied my shoe
When I first climbed a tree

(short instr)

You were there when it was tough in school
And when my heart first broke
You were there when I chose to break a rule
When I learned that it was no joke

You were there when I first tried my wings
You were there when I tried and tried
You were there to calm me when I fell
And every time I cried

Instrumental

CHORUS
How can the one who began it all
Who commands the earth and sea
Who breathes life into everything
Be always there for me?
Be always there ... for me?

You were there when I first fell in love
And when we struggled on our own
You were there when I held my tiny ones
And loved them as they’ve grown

You were there when your own son was born
To watch him heal and serve
You were there when they sentenced him to death
Which he did not deserve

You were there because that was the plan
Because it had to be
You were there to guide and see it through
The day he died for me

(CHORUS)
How can the one who began it all
Who commands the earth and sea
Who breathes life into everything
Be always there for me?
Be always there ... for me?

You were there the day I turned away
And when I turned back around
You were there when I took you into my heart
when redemption I had found

You were there
You were there

THAT'S ALL IT TOOK

Composition by Kenny Levine

Lyrics by Fran Pitre

Produced by Kenny Levine and Fran Pitre

It began that stormy night
I mistook his car for mine
That’s all it took

My key wouldn’t ﬁt
But I wouldn’t quit
It worked before just ﬁne

He asked me “Can I help you?”
And scared me half to death
My heartbeat rushed
My body ﬂushed
Could hardly catch my breath
(uh, geez)

Guitar Instrumental
That’s all it took, yeah,
that’s all it took

I really felt so bad at first
Regret was very true
That’s all it took

It was pretty clear
What happened here
He said, “I’ve done that too!”

We both began to laugh and
that was all it took
And his charming grin
Just reeled me in
like a ﬁsh upon his hook

That’s all it took

CHORUS
I was only tryin to go
That’s all it took
And who could’ve ever known
That a dumb mistake would be

the start of you and me
But that’s really really really
all it took

Piano instrumental
That’s all it took, yeah,
that’s all it took

Then the rain began to fall
We crashed the coﬀee shop
And we talked for hours
Through the rain showers
Since then we’ve never stopped

That’s all it took

CHORUS
I was only tryin to go
That’s all it took
And who could’ve ever known
That a dumb mistake would be
the start of you and me
But that’s really really really
all it took

Instrumental sax

CHORUS
I was only tryin to go
That’s all it took
And who could’ve ever known
That a dumb mistake would be
the start of you and me
But that’s really really really
all it took

REPEAT CHORUS after piano
That’s all it took
Yeah that’s all it took

MOUNTAIN TOP

I LOVED YOU ONCE

?

Composition by Mark Dennison

Lyrics by Mark Dennison and Fran Pitre

Produced by Mark Dennison and Fran Pitre

so full of life, I could explode
The time has come to leave the grind behind
Sunshine flickers through the trees,

my windows down in comes the breeze
There’s nothing that is weighing on my mind

The morning light is shining in

It’s telling me it’s time to start over again

CHORUS 1
Life on the mountain top, all creation spread out in

front of me
Oh high on that mountain top, way up high

is where I wanna be

Instrumental

Especially this time of the year

the brilliant leaves, the air is clear
Reminds me of the kid I used to be
Oh, I’ve been away for far too long

but now I’m here where I belong
A slice of heaven, and where I know I’m free

I watched the snow come drifting in

I said to myself “just where have I been?”

CHORUS 2
Life on the mountain top, all creation as far as I can see
Oh high on that mountain top, up in the sky

is where I wanna be

Instrumental

When all the stars come out at night, they start to twinkle and everything’s alright

I’m through wasting time

no more of that corporate climb
I’m at the place that finally gives me peace

CHORUS 1
Life on the mountain top, all creation spread out in

front of me
Oh high on that mountain top, way up high

is where I wanna be

Oh life on that mountain top
Oh high on the mountain top

Lyrics by Fran Pitre

Produced by Mark Dennison and Fran Pitre

Don’t say you’re glad to see me
That I’m looking so fine
Don’t sit right down beside me
You’ll discover these thoughts of mine

Don’t place your hand on my hand
Or brush my hair from my eyes
Don’t move any closer to me
‘Cuz you’ll tear my weak disguise

Don’t touch my back
Heat my skin with your hand
Don’t wrap your arms around me
No (spoken)
This is not what I planned

Chorus
I loved you once
then ...
the mistake that you made
when ...
you walked out on me
and ...
losing me was the price you paid

Instrumental

Don’t try to make me smile
That was so, so easy before
When I thought, I thought you loved me
Before you walked out of our door

Don’t pull me into your arms
Press your body close to me
You cannot come back now
It’s just too late, can’t you see?

Don’t touch my back
Heat my skin with your hand
Don’t wrap your arms around me
No (spoken)
This is not what I planned

CHORUS
I loved you once
then ...
that mistake that you made
when ...
you walked out on me
and ...
losing me was the price you paid
