Adriana
© & ℗ Dan Milligan
If you go I will follow
And what you are I shall become
The moon is rising the night a canvas
For us to paint our future love
And if you must go travel softly
Take your leave of me unto this desert night
I will always be behind you
Adriana, there’s nothing I can do
Adriana, I’m falling into you
If I fall don’t lose your step love
I will rise and continue on
The night becomes you its endless passion
In silouette you see the dawn
I know you must go I understand
Adriana, there’s nothing I can do
Adriana, I’m falling into you
Adriana, there’s nothing I can do
Adriana, I’m falling into you
Until you come back to me
I will wait for you
In the place where shadows hide me
I will wait for you
Where the ocean touches the sky
I will wait for you
In the place where lovers lie
I will wait
Adriana, there’s nothing I can do
Adriana, I’m falling into you
Adriana, Adriana
Adri I Gotta Go
© & ℗ 2023 Arjay Sharp
Applied pressure but it never did stop the bleeding
And now the pain's fresher with the plans that you're repeating
Love you my friend, I know you know that
But we both knew that this day would come
One of us will always want more than the other
Two of us can’t walk when one wants to run
I hate goodbyes
Oh but every time we say hello
I realize
I’m suffocating from the status quo
So Adri I gotta go
Many plans won't ever see the light of night now
So much for holding hands by the light of your father's moon
(The South Adriatic moon)
Ain’t that my way, take your sacred moment
Taint it with my hopes, make it more about me
I hate goodbyes
Oh but every time we say hello
I realize
There is no future for our love to grow
So Adri I gotta go, gotta go
So no more calls 'cause you sing like a siren
No more visits 'cause your beauty brings pain
I'll put our past in a box of happy mem'ries
As your acquaintance I’m happy to remain
Every time we say hello
I realize
I’m suffocating from the status quo
So Adri I gotta go, gotta go
Suffocating from the status quo
There's no future for our love to grow
Suffocating from the status quo
(many plans won't ever see the light of night)
You were more real than I needed to know
(many plans won't ever see the light of night)
Aurora
© & ℗ Your Vegas
Glitterballs and disco halls
and all that you can bare
In mini skirts and shoes that hurt
they're giving it away
So come over here,
come over here for
vodka lemonade
Come over here
come over here
It's time to feel betrayed
The world is turning just for us
Aurora, Aurora
The world is turning just for us
Aurora, Aurora
You convince yourself
that you will never be loved
Morning stars, we talk for hours
about Van Gogh and Klimt
We did it in style did it in style,
we did it in the end
The world is turning just for us
Aurora, Aurora
The world is turning just for us
Aurora, Aurora
You convince yourself
that you will never be loved
And you parade yourself like cats
lying in the sun
You've seen the hotel rooms,
you've seen the firefly moons,
You've seen the flowers that
bloom, you've seen love,
Seen love, seen love ...
The world is turning just for us
Aurora, Aurora
The world is turning just for us
Aurora, Aurora
You convince yourself
that you will never be loved
And you parade yourself like cats
lying in the sun
Oh you convince yourself that you
will never be loved
Aurora Over Hollywood
© & ℗ 2024 Arjay Sharp
She was a lie my heart believed
'Cause I needed to
A beautiful sky my wounded wings
Just had to fly into
Like an aurora over Hollywood
Wondrous but out of place in my life
Jesus calls says it's no good
Come on home to your wife
No, no this time I know I gotta go
Oh, is she real? I just feel I must know
Over an hour late with lunch
But she was forgiving
Up in her tower we only touched
On topics of living
We talked about love and relationships
Debated our views on pleasure and pain
Avoiding my wine’s last sip
Knowing we may never meet again
Oh! Oh this time, I know I must let go
Oh! Was she real? I just needed to know
I just needed to know
She casually called herself depraved
But warm and pure was her goodbye
In her arms all night I could’ve stayed
But likely not unless I had paid her well
Oh, over time I know I will let go
Oh, for all that I feel, she was more real
Than I needed to know
More real than I needed to know

Bridge to Brighter Days
© & ℗ 2012 / 2014 Arjay Sharp
Did I lay my lover's dreams down
So you may cross over cross over me
To find the one fate intended
Thought you were so content, so connected
That I made you feel loved more than any man had before
And I held your dreams in high esteem
Any tower I would have erected
But to give you all is a hope I can hold no more
Thought I was your long-awaited destination
Oh and in your arms thought my heart finally found its home
So I was shook and shocked when out you walked
With cold resolute resignation
Then you found him and I found myself alone
Did I lay my lover's dreams down
So you may cross over cross over me
To find the one fate intended
I hope and pray your joy runs deeper now
And though I've wished it were wished it were me
Maybe I was only meant to be
The lover to restore your faith
Your means to an end
Your bridge to brighter days
Said I was someone you couldn't help but fall for
But once out of the fog you could see things as they are
Was my weakness so strong, right-thinking all wrong
Enchanted by your Gaelic folklore
Did I dream too deep, did I cast my hopes too far
Did I lay my lover's dreams down
So you may cross over cross over me
To find the one fate intended
I hope and pray your joy runs deeper now
And though I've wished it were wished it were me
Maybe I was only meant to be
The lover to restore your faith
Your means to an end
Your bridge to brighter days
One thing my heart would love to learn
Why am I a bridge you had to burn
'Cause I miss you...
Delusions
© & ℗ 2015 / 2023 Arjay Sharp
In a New York state of mind again
But it ain’t no crime
I've been down for an uptown girl
For the longest time
You may be right, but don’t ask me why
There are times I go to extremes
It's my life, and I'm keeping the faith
Everybody has a dream
And so it goes, I keep hopin' for her affections
Though we're rowin' the river of dreams in diff'rent directions
She’s right on time for making me wait for conclusions
Am I only a man full of fantasies & delusions
My dreams are full of romance scenes
From an Italian restaurant
Yes I try to tell her about it, but hardly with the
Honesty I want
So I’ll say goodbye to Hollywood and try
Warming up to reality
Pressure is on, to write a weekend song
From a soul nobody knows but me
And so it goes, I keep hopin' for her affections
Though we're rowin' the river of dreams in diff'rent directions
In love from afar, at this piano bar, the entertainer of illusions
I'll take a big shot o' Captain Jack with these delusions
Sometimes a fantasy, but she's always a woman
She's all about soul, and when I'm feelin' low, she says y' know
You're only human
Running on ice, through the long night
My journey's end: no man's land
If only the good die young then good thing
I'm not an innocent man
All my life, I've waited for this night
Let me turn around your heart
If it's a matter of trust, I'm shameless for us
And I love you just the way you are
Getting closer, it's our day
You're half a mile away but further than heaven
Alright, so we didn't start the fire tonight
In my heart, you're my home
In a room of our own, there'd be no intrusions
Only love night after day, and no delusions
Wanna be your piano man, be my baby grand
Gave Her All of Me
© & ℗ 2012 / 2014 Arjay Sharp
Finally found someone to love, one of my kind
When we made love, I had forever in mind
Ever in mind
She had said that she may take my name someday
So I let her into all of my hopeful heart to stay
Heart to stay, my heart to stay
Where she touched all of me
She understood the good and bad
Every secret that I had I gave her all of me
But soon after my soul cleaved
She decided she must leave
All of me
Finally found someone to love for all my life
But now I'm roaming restlessly for my unwed wife
Unwed wife
Lord I hope that she may take me back someday
She is in my broken heart and just won't go away
Go away, won't go away
Only she touched all of me
She understood my inner hell
Said she'd help me to get well
I gave her all of me
Many moons have seen me grieve
Asking why she had to leave
All of me
I gave her all of me
Now she's found someone to love, one of her kind
And I'm all out of hope, going out of my mind
She's out of my life
But still in all of me
She understood the good and bad
Every secret that I had
All of me
Many moons have seen me grieve
Asking why she had to leave
All of me
Why'd I give her all of me?
Finally found someone to love, one of my kind
When we made love, I had forever in mind
Goddess of Morning
© & ℗ 2023 Arjay Sharp
She was born on Good Friday
I feel the warmth of heaven just dreaming of her embrace
I’ve been praying for my day
When I’m forgiven for being a loser
Refined by her fire, redeemed by her grace
Her warm loving grace
My soul knows her well and the facts are empirical
But my want of her is hell—unrelenting, unmerciful
My mind knows I’m wasting my time, won’t ever be reciprocal
Yet my heart still prays for a miracle
I flew in late on Friday
Yes I’ll be living here, tending all she holds dear while away
It’s a blessing to serve her
She’s my dear mortal goddess of morning
My hope for every new day
Yes my soul knows her well and the facts are empirical
But my want of her is hell—unrelenting, unmerciful
My mind knows I’m wasting my time, won’t ever be reciprocal
Yet my heart still prays for a—
Late night walks in the rain
Winter carnival on Main
Trimming the tree to our favorite song
I’m her mixologist
She’s my psychologist
We’re almost all I’ve wanted all along
(So long… mercy)
Yes my soul knows her well and the facts are empirical
But my want of her is hell—unrelenting, unmerciful
My mind knows I’m wasting my time, won’t ever be reciprocal
Yet my heart still prays
While my soul and body ache
Yes my heart still prays for a miracle
For a miracle
For a miracle
I Wanna Know You
© & ℗ 2014 Arjay Sharp
As the infatuation wanes
Something deeper here remains
A desire more divine
To journey where I've not before
Somewhere closer to your core
But it's you who draws the line
Don't know if it's love, oh but
One thing I know I'm sure of
I wanna know you
Dearly, sincerely know you
The woman deep within
The soul beneath your skin
Oh I wanna know you
It seems we're both misunderstood
When they fail to see what's good
Beyond the labels and their blame
Maybe we're not so far apart
And if we melted body and heart
No I wouldn't feel any shame
Don't know if it's love, oh but
One thing I know I'm sure of
I wanna know you
Deeply, completely know you
The hopes that kiss your heart
The doubts before they start
Oh I wanna know you
And though my faith is barely there
I offer up your needs in prayer
It's one way I know I care
About the body mind and soul
Of the woman I wanna know
Dearly, sincerely know you
The woman deep within
The soul beneath your skin
Oh I wanna know you
Dearly, sincerely
Deeply, completely
Dearly, sincerely
Know you
Oh I wanna know you
One Caress
© & ℗ Martin Lee Gore
Well, I'm down on my knees again
And I pray to the only one
Who has the strength to bear the pain
To forgive all the things that I've done
Oh, girl
Lead me into your darkness
When this world is trying its hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress
From you and I'm blessed
When you think you've tried every road
Every avenue
Take one more look, what you found old
And in it, you'll find something new
Oh, girl
Lead me into your darkness
When this world is trying its hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress
From you and I'm blessed
I'm shying from the light
I always loved the night
And now you offer me
Eternal darkness
I have to believe that sin
Can make a better man
Well, it's the mood that I am in
That's left us back where we began
Oh, girl
Lead me into your darkness
When this world is trying its hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress
From you and I'm blessed
Oh, girl
Lead me into your darkness
When this world is trying its hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress
From you and I'm blessed
Promises Broken
© & ℗ 2014 Arjay Sharp
[Mother]
We will always love you
But something's gone unspoken
Your dad and I were human and
Promises were broken
[Father]
We're not gonna argue
About who you get to live with
I will come and see you
You can come and visit for a while
We'll paint the park in style
Bring your smiles
Though we'll wear them in denial
[Father & Children]
Wear them in denial
[Mother & Daughter]
When your heart is hungry
Don't let it wander off and
When your lover hurts you
Don't let it ponder 'bout revenge
[Mother & Father]
Forgive and make amends
Love your friend
Follow mercy to the end
[Parents & Daughter]
Mercy to the end
[Mother & Father]
If you ever walk the aisle, we pray
You'll always walk the extra mile
Walk the extra mile
[Mother]
Daughter, be a good bride
Don't kiss other misters
[Father]
Son, be a decent man
Don't look at dirty pictures while your wife
Cries in the night
Treat her right
And you just may be alright
[Family]
You just may be alright
[Mother & Father]
We will always love you
But truth must be spoken
This is what happens when
Promises are broken

Warm Winter
© & ℗ 2023 Arjay Sharp
Hello, goodbye, Aurora Colorado
Just passing by, must leave her behind
On my way to The Springs with an offering
My troubled heart and mind
My father is waiting
Open arms on my arrival
Antipating, it’s been too long
Thankful for this warm winter
Faith and family shall remind me how to live
There’s a woman I’ve met I’ve come here to forget
And a woman back home I must forgive
Hello, goodbye, that feeling I don’t matter
Just getting by, but I’ll be alright
On my way to a brighter place full of grace
His truth will be my light
My Father is waiting
Open arms on my arrival
Antipating, it’s been too long
Been too long
(Chorus)
And she’s waiting
I’m eager to be what she wanted
Storms subsiding, just a little rain
My faith is weak, but Pikes Peak reminds me
To climb my mountains again
(Chorus)
A woman back home I must forgive
A woman I must forgive, and a woman I must forget
A woman I must forgive, and a woman I must forget
A woman I must forgive (forgive and forget)
A woman I must forget (forget and forgive)
A woman I must forgive (forgive and forget)
A woman I must forget (forget and forgive)
Forgive and forget—
