At Least I Will Tonight By Giselle Greenberg Copyright 2018 Oh you and I We have journeyed together We have reached for the sky No matter what the weather! Just close your eyes and sing about mine And I’ll love you forever At least I will tonight Don’t worry about What the future may bring Just pray with a shout That to us the heavens sing! Just put your hand in mine And I’ll trust my heart to thine And I’ll love you forever At least I will tonight Love, love, love you forever May our hearts stay bound together Love, love, love you forever May our love make our lives better Think of love as a dream Think of grief as a nightmare But as dark as grief may seem Know that love will be the lightener! Just lay by my side And whisper lullabies And I’ll love you forever At least I will tonight When the sun slowly sets And the moon shines above us We shall sing slow duets And the stars will surely love us! Just say your goodbye With a sentimental sigh And I’ll love you forever, at least I will tonight (2x)

music and words by giselle greenberg The sky so blue The grass so green The sun forever golden And all add to a lovely scene in tales forever olden I wish I was a fairy, a fairy, a fairy I wish I was a fairy so tiny and so good I wish I was a fairy, a fairy, a fairy I wish I was a fairy who frolics in the wood The flowers bright The breeze so calm the water always flowing The elves delight in summer's balm whose days are always glowing I wish I was a fairy, a fairy, a fairy I wish I was a fairy forever in disguise I wish I was a fairy, a fairy, a fairy I wish I was a fairy so wee and yet so wise

Pas Pour Moi 02:52
Pas Pour Moi Written in French by Giselle Greenberg Nous avons eu de bons moments mais ils n'ont jamais duré. Parfois je me demande comment ils pourraient être parfaits. Je ne sais pas quoi à penser quand tu ne fais pas attention, Quand je demande où tu vas chaque nuit, Tu ne réponds pas à ma question! Tu as de l’amour mais pas pour moi (4x) Je veux savoir qui est-elle, la fille qui a volé ton coeur? Et pourquoi suis-je Mademoiselle, quand je peux être Madame, Monsieur ? Après ton départ j'ai peur que je ne vais pas tomber amoureuse encore Que doit une belle fille faire quand son homme lui passe solitaire? Tu as de l’amour mais pas pour moi (4x)

By the Deep Blue Sea Written by Giselle Greenberg copyright 2018 Once there was a family With Mama, Papa, Benny, Pearl, and me Life went on quite happily ‘Til one day Mama had to leave “My dear children, please don’t fret, And make sure you don’t forget that someday we shall meet again When skies are clear, I’ll see you then It won’t be long, just wait for me By the deep blue sea” Without Mama there to sing The word “home” lost its joyful ring Papa soon grew sad and glum He felt the need to search for Mum He told us that he’d be back soon, and left us with that weary tune, “It won’t be long, just wait for me By the deep blue sea” Then dear Benny thought he knew Where Mama and Papa flew I would stay in case they came back soon So Benny left and took Pearl too, he said “It won’t be long, just wait for me By the deep blue sea” Now it won’t be long, they’ll come for me By the deep blue sea

Someday I’ll Find You Written by Giselle Greenberg copyright 2018 Someday, someday, someday I know that when the time is right I will find you You may be in plain sight, But how should I know? Someday, someday, someday Just when the time is right I will find you… I saw you once In a dream so far away But I would try to hold you closer if I may I’d know you anywhere If I by chance saw you just there The place where we could be happy forevermore So I know, I know, I know That when the time is right I will find you I’ll find you

Flowers In The Summer Written by Giselle Greenberg copyright 2018 Flowers in the summer, Oh in the summer, In the summer, Oh in the summer... Autumn breezes carry seeds with life inside... Little sprouts in shelters from the coming frost must hide, ‘Tis nature’s rule, they will abide… Silver silence has its reign, so cold and slow... Those above could not see all the labor done below; seeds through Winter wait beneath the snow... Vernal showers soothe the land, And end the cold… Sprouts rejoice, and bursting from the ground are blithe and bold, they show that new Springs from the old Slowly sprouts turn strong and stout, then buds are grown… In Summer’s prime, the petals with the best colors are shown, then to be gone, How time has flown Flowers in the summer, Oh in the summer, In the summer, Oh in the summer...

When I Call Your Name music and lyric by Miki Greenberg So once again I find myself calling out names and falling in love verse Invoking gods in whom I scarcely believe Voices in the starry night so high above When the time is right we’ll sing a tune pre-chorus We’ll throw a light switch and the room will overflow There’s a feeling we’re not really alone now Something’s starting to grow Don’t tell me it's all an illusion. I’m so afraid of the dark verse There’s a mysterious feeling we’ve been here before Nurturing an inner light, an inner spark When the time is right we’ll sing a tune pre-chorus We’ll throw a light switch and the room will overflow There’s a feeling we’re not really alone now Something’s starting to grow And when I call your name I say it twice chorus ( I call your name ) Once out loud and once deep inside ( deep inside say it twice ) Once for you to hear and once for me ( once for me deep inside ) And it rings out so clear inside me ( clearer then the doubt ) Once for you to hear and once for me ( once for me deep inside ) And it rings out so clear when I call your name When suddenly the veil is lifted it’s all so terribly clear verse There’s nothing to fear here but fear itself then pre-chorus + chorus And you can hold it tight or hold it dear

At Your Side 03:46
At Your Side Lyric by Miki Greenberg copyright 2018 My heart is open Chorus There is no part of it I will hide You can walk in through my open door Is there a place for me at your side All you have to do to claim me Verse form 1 Is smile and say you will You’ll see inside my eyes a sweet devotion to you Everything I feel Take me on a walk Promise not to run Learning how to talk having so much fun We’ve only just begun In the silence I long to call out to Chorus I gonna try breaking through to the inner you Verse form 2 I can take it you can break me too We’re going to be glowing From the fallout flowing all out In the moment i want to call out Let me roll into your open heart Chorus longer My heart is open There is no part of it I will hide You can walk in through my open door Jump through my window Is there a place for me at your side

Dear Departed Friend Music and lyric by Miki Greenberg copyright 2018 Time, They say it waits for no one Verse But it’s standing still for you It seems to bow and curtsy now as I am sifting through All the books you read and lists you made Of things you had to do And I am grieving, grieving through and through Your death rocked the house down to it’s foundation Chorus Now it’s locked up, locked up good and tight Things have toppled over that will never be set right You said standing still is easier than moving You said feeling good is easier than breathing You won’t see me you won’t see me soon I am hiding, hiding in your room I can’t follow you to your made end How I miss you dear departed friend No, no, I’m really not the one to cry Verse But something just gave way I’ve held my breath beneath a pool of tears Now I’d simply say Someone who I cared about has thrown their life away I’m so angry that you chose not to stay to Chorus

Lucky 7 02:54
Lucky Seven Lyric by Miki Greenberg copyright 2018 I held you in my arms My lucky seven And laughing at the odds I rolled the dice There are no deadly sins just lucky sevens No jealous angry gods just paradise Eating breakfast with my lucky seven learning how to live in morning light And all the love you give me lucky seven Makes me want to be the man I might Finding a moment that feels true Tying my shoes in the dark Sideways I’m slipping into you Straight on til morning unlocks Everything you need is sitting where its always been Looking for it hard makes you think it’s missing Tape it to the wall. Fix it with a safety pin Feeling so alive with my lucky seven Knowing I’m alive with my lucky seven

Up All Night 05:26
Up All Night Lyric by Miki Greenberg copyright 2018 You were up all night with your hair in curlers Wondering what to do Up all night with your hair in curlers Wishing that you knew Up all night ( X8 ) You looked a sight with your hair in curlers feeling awful blue Up all night with your hair in curlers Wishing that you knew Up all night with your hair in curlers Wondering what was true Up all night ( X7 ) Seems a long time ago I could hold you near me Seems a long time ago you wanted me to Now at night I do not ask my heart is numb Alone near you I’m overcome I can not feel what I feel I do not do what I do You get so angry I don’t want to hold you near me Seems a long time ago romantic and connected We’d say “ooh I need your love babe” Yes, you know it’s true Now in bed Your clothes are on Lets take it slow Don’t say too much just let it go It’s such a delicate mood There’s just no way you can tell Which little mistake will break the spell Don’t say too much Don’t do it wrong Lets take it slow Lets get along I do not do what I do I can not feel what I feel Can this be us? Can this be real? It’s such a delicate mood There’s just no way you can tell Which little mistake will break the spell You were up all night and your hair looked cute You saw the sky at dawn Smiled at all the ringlets Yesterday was gone Close your eyes now Sing a song Up all night now yesterday is gone
