I know who you are
Standing there in front of me
I’ve seen you ride your lucky star
First you’re near
Then you’re too far to see
No, you can’t hide from me
We share something we see
Dreaming a dreamer’s dream
Of what we want our lives to be
Because I know who you are
On and off your lucky star
And I love who you are
I know where you go
When I hear that screen door close
I know where you go
When you’re in between your highs and lows
No, you can’t hide from me
We share something we see
Dreaming a dreamer’s dream
Of what we want our lives to be
Because I know who you are
On and off your lucky star
And I love who you are
I know who you are
And I love you
And I know you
I love who you are

“Pennies From Parking Lots”
Lyrics and Music by Chet Nichols
Copyright by Chet Nichols/ Magic Garage Music (ASCAP)
chetnichols@aol.com * www.chetnichols.net
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED WORLDWIDE
VERSE 1
We followed Grandfather down to the river
He said he had a secret that he wanted to share
Our eyes grew wide with anticipation
As he made copper coins appear from thin air ... they were...
CHORUS
Pennies, pennies he found in parking lots
He would pick them up
And make a wish
And slide them in his shoes
They were magical pennies
Making his dreams come true…
VERSE 2
He said, “Close your eyes and go over ever detail
When you make a wish you hope might come true
And picture in your heart who the wish is really good for
Or you might wind up with only holes in your shoes”
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
My little brother who was always a Doubting Thomas
Said, “How do you know you’ll really get the wish you need?”
Grandpa stood up and spread his arms wide
And said, “Children, you are all the proof I need to believe” ... in those...
REPEAT CHORUS
And to this day I’ve got to say
That I’m believing, too, In the magical pennies
Making my dreams come true

VERSE ONE:
The first time I saw you
I could have turned and run
But a voice said,
“Stick around and have a little fun.”
Was that just a big mistake
Or some foolish hope?
Before I could ask your name
You had me on the ropes
CHORUS:
I looked around and I was in the middle
A web was spinning
There was no escape
And it did not take too long before I knew
I was tangled up in you.
VERSE TWO
We drifted to the dance floor
And fought the urge to kiss
Our bodies screaming,
“Just let go and give into the bliss”
I inhaled your perfume
Like some forbidden drug
Then your eyes whispered,
“Are we falling in love?”
CHORUS:
How could this be
Love happening so fast?
Our hearts were racing
We were losing control
And it did not take too long before we knew
You were tangled up, too
BRIDGE
Now, when love comes at first sight
It can last for just one night
But we’ve gone on for years
Dancing thru the tears
Entangled in our lives
CHORUS
I looked around and we’re both in the middle
Of a life that’s simple
Loving and sweet
And there ‘s nothing that could make me be untrue
I’m still tangled up in you

“Smother You”
Lyrics and music by Chet Nichols (ASCAP)
Copyright 2022 by Chet Nichols/Magic Garage Music (ASCAP)
www.chetnichols.net * chetnichols@aol.com
Tuning: ebbebe
VERSE ONE
New confusions have left you here
Thoughts are blurred and unclear
The dreams you once held so near
Have begun to disappear
So, let them fly to the wind
Someone new will take them in
Someone new will be their friend
CHORUS
And what about my ears
And what about my mouth
And what about my gentle touch
Help to warm your darkened nights
I’ll help you fight your fears
And hold you through the bouts
That love to pull you in the ring
And smother you with doubt
VERSE ONE
Mix reservation
With the feelings that you’ve had
Add the frustration
Of a world that has gone bad
Still you must keep on churning
You must move right along
There is no returning
That’s yesterday’s song
CHORUS
And what about my ears
And what about my mouth
And what about my gentle touch
Help to warm your darkened nights
I’ll help you fight your fears
And hold you through the bouts
That love to pull you in the ring
And smother you with doubt
When they smother you
They smother me
When they smother you
They smother me

Verse 1
If you find you’re judging
All your loves by me
You’re not free
You can live your own life
Between the mountains and the sea
But, if you dream I’ll be there
You’re not free
Chorus
Cause you kept playing Jezebel
And I tried playing the cure
Both caught in a fantasy
That wasn’t real anymore
Yeah, cause you say that I brought you down
When I only wanted you to win
And now it’s up to you to see it thru
And learn to start again Jezebel
Start again, Jezebel
Verse 2
Separate vacations
Business trips
Long lovely girls with shapely hips
Separate relations
Dinners alone
A long distance relation we’ve outgrown
Chorus
Musical Bridge
Chorus

1. A painted dawn
A summer breeze
Drift through the curtains
‘Round you and me
I watch you sleep
Then you open your eyes
And draw me to you
And our souls collide
Whispering softly
Moving slow and cool
Passions embracing
Till I feel you swoon
The summer lilacs filled the air
The sunlight lighting up your hair
Simple perfection sweet and rare
Are the memories of making love with you
On Sunday morning
2. You’re in the kitchen
Making eggs with cheese
Bacon and pancakes
Sweet berries and cream
A vase full of flowers
Some jam and bread
You walk in smiling with our
Breakfast in bed
We drink our coffee
And I read the news
Sharing all the stories
And wondering if they’re true
We take a shower, I wash your hair
We wind up back in bed and making love again
We dress and walk down to the street
Stroll to a café filled with memories
Of Sunday morning
Oh, Sunday Morning

VERSE 1
You've been there
I've been here
The gang all cheers
When you reappear
Limousines
The Rising star
A little too quick
And much too far away
You're asking for my time
Like it was mine to give
Then explain it all away
Between the movies and the rhymes
We try to get away
And share our quiet times, in.....
CHORUS
Paradise
In my arms
Smiling times
On a beach in Malibu
Paradise is here
Near the open sea and me
Not on "The Avenues"
Here's Paradise
VERSE 2
But, I'm confused
Back 'n forth
In and out
I hardly see your face
Paris clubs
The New York scenes
The photos show you
Dancing the night away
You're living in my mind
You never spend the day
Oh, you're always "on your way"
Between the movies and the rhymes
You're here to disappear
I wish you'd only stay, in....
REPEAT CHORUS

Verse 1.
I close my eyes and I see nothing
I open them wide and it’s still the same
I hoped to see a glimpse of you running
And you were heading my way
Chorus
I know a heart that’s broken in two
Won’t believe that love can be true
But, my heart’s an open door
I see you reach and turn the key
And step back into me
And suddenly I feel complete
But, I know I was dreaming
I was only dreaming
I was dreaming
I was only dreaming
Verse 2.
Out in the mist I can see a shadow
Your lips appear and brush against my cheek
Whispering my dreams can all come true
If I find the path leading back to you
Chorus
I know a heart that’s broken in two
Won’t believe that love can be true
But, my heart’s an open door
I see you reach and turn the key
And step back into me
And suddenly I feel complete
But, I know I was dreaming
I was only dreaming
I was dreaming
I was only dreaming

VERSE 1.
Off in the distance and thru the mist
The towers beam the messages no one can resist
And along the lazy river where we used to play
Sits a gambling boat
They’ve built more storage lockers and more motels
‘Cause no one is at home any more to ring the dinner bell
And the topsoil of dreams is being carried away
Flowing downstream
CHORUS
Ooo, that’s modern progress
But, down below the haze
The population’s in a daze
Ooo,,Ooo, that’s modern progress
Oh, but, Lord, when will we ever learn
VERSE 2.
Out on the hills the rigs nod up and down
To squeeze the oil that’s buried below the Texas towns
They fuel the mini power plants that drive us to the grave
Thru the smoky air
And the semis on the interstate slide in and out of lanes
Moving dreams to marketplace lit up like circus trains
Because someone’s found a way to stuff 10 pounds of scrap
Into a two pound bag
Repeat CHORUS
BRIDGE
Out on the desert red lights climb the grade
They’re all fighting for the parking spot that has a little shade
Everyone’s in a hurry to be leading the parade
To the shopping malls, to get the latest upgrade
Repeat CHORUS
To take it slow, give a little slack
Give one another what we want given back
When will we ever learn
When will we ever
Oh, will we ever learn
