CAN I EVER TRUST MY HEART AGAIN?

Original lyrics by Stan C. Countz

Don’t wanna feel the pain no more
Won’t ever be the same as before
Wish I’d never walked out that door
At least I know now what I’m lookin’ for
And it ain’t you, I done paid my dues
Wish you could walk a mile in my shoes
Here’s the news…I’m a bit confused
I got a case of the break my heart blues

Now that we’re apart, I need a brand new start
The question is: can I ever trust my heart again?
Can I trust my heart, not to fall apart?
I’m as sad and lonely as I’ve ever been
The question is: can I ever trust my heart again?

The heart can trick you and it can deceive you
The heart can prick you and it can grieve you
The heart can bend you and it can break you
But I could never blame, leave or forsake you

Without a doubt, it’s not the same without you
Built my world around you; I’m so glad I found you
Didn’t mean to doubt you; it’s not the same without you
I’m as sad and lonely as I’ve ever been
The question is: can I ever trust my heart again

Don’t wanna feel the pain no more
Won’t ever be the same as before
Wish I’d never walked out that door
At least I know now what I’m lookin’ for
And it ain’t you, I done paid my dues
I got a case of the break my heart blues

Wish you could walk a mile in my shoes
Here’s the news…I’m a bit confused
Got a case of the break my heart blues
Got a case of the break my heart blues

I asked you to be mine and you declined
In fact you down right refused
I hate to lose so I blew my fuse
and got a case of the break my heart blues
Got a case of the break my heart blues

NO STOPPIN’ ME NOW

lyrics by Stan C. Countz

Anticipation builds as the room begins to fill
Now they’re sittin’ down and finally sittin’ still
Should I rehearse my verse or concentrate and chill?
Will they reject me or accept me and be thrilled?

Everyone is in their places and they've all taken their seats
It seems to me a sea of faces are now staring out at me
It's the stuff of dreams and the crowd seems nervous
(Or maybe that's just me?)Still learnin’, tryin’ to determine
if they’re laughin’ at or with me

Will my butterflies line up in neat little rows; will I go sharp or flat?
Will I miss the highs and lows or will I hit the note right off the bat?
Will they just sit there and stare or sing along or stand and clap?
Will it be all right or will it all go wrong? Will I be comin’ back?

Will they like my song or should I just stick with prose?
Will they hum and sing along or should I strike a pose?
Will they miss the point or will it hit ‘em right in the nose?
Will I rock the joint or will my chance go up in smoke?

The acts before me are beginning to bore me. Do I stand a chance?
How will it affect me if they reject or adore me?
What’ve I got to lose? My skills have grown, but I’m still unknown
Who even knew I could sing or dance?
Gotta try my wings and give my dreams a chance

The acts are many and various, funny and hilarious
but I think this is the scariest thing I’ve ever done.
This may be shockin’ but my knees are knockin’
Hope I won’t be floppin’ ‘cuz there ain’t no stoppin’ me now

Movin’ and groovin’ and on a roll, the band playin’ behind me
Singin’ out my heart and soul; hopin’ someone big will sign me
The show’s a rockin’ and there ain’t no toppin’ this feelin’ now
Rockin’ and reelin’, dancin’ on the ceilin’
’til I take my final bow

Won’t know where we stand ‘til the standin’ ovation
Won’t know if its quittin’ time or time for a celebration
Ain’t stoppin’ me ‘til we steal the show or take a bow
My knees are knockin but there ain’t no stoppin’ me now
