“I Was Dreaming” Lyrics and Music by Chet Nichols Copyright 2012/2020 by Chet Nichols (ASCAP) & Magic Garage Music (ASCAP) http://www.chetnichols.net :: MagicGarageMusic@gmail.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 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

“The Needle In His Arm” Words and Music by Chet Nichols Copyright 2014 by Chet Nichols/Magic Garage Music (ASCAP) Please contact: Chet Nichols: Magic Garage Music, PO Box 2398, Northbrook, IL 60065 http://www.chetnicholsmusic.com :: http://www.chetnichols.net chet@chetnichols.net :: chetnichols@me.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED VERSE 1 He went from earned abundance to the depths of total waste Pushed away all he had worked for, just to have a little taste Perhaps he never planned how he would celebrate success So when that day arrived, he chose to feed his joy distress CHORUS Why was he thinking, he wasn’t doing any harm? While his soul was crying, crying, crying from the needle I his arm VERSE 1 Now, all of the accolades and all the awards From the movers and the shakers, now only sound like empty chords And all of the flicker shows will be playing back his past But, all we’ll see is an empty space at the a reunion of the cast CHORUS Why was he thinking, he wasn’t doing any harm? Till he woke up dreaming, dreaming, dreaming with a needle in his arm BRIDGE Now, what about the children that this evil leaves behind As it steals away the most precious gift, the choice to give our time Push back all these demons who lust to steal our precious love Poisoning sweet futures with the back-side of a glove VERSE 1 Friends and family they gather to cry and shake their heads As they pay their last respects to him reclining on his final bed Then they drift in single file out to a field that’s filled with stones Touch his box with one last wish then turn away and he’s finally alone CHORUS Why was he thinking, he wasn’t doing any harm Till he woke up dying, dying, dying with a needle in his arm Why was he thinking, he wasn’t doing any harm? Till he woke up dreaming, dreaming, dreaming with a needle in his arm

I saw you in a dream Your were waiting for a train You woke me up and you made me cry The disguise you wore it did you well For you almost past me by But, we embraced and we held the time We didn’t have to try We didn’t have to try CHORUS ‘Cause old friends will stay old friends Through distances and time Old friends can mellow through the years Like children and old wine VERSE 2. I lost you on the river You were rowing with your gun And when the bottom was filled with holes Your rowing was all done Now, I sleep on half the bed I leave a place for you And staring through the moonlight I dream that I had rescued you ‘Cause we embraced and we held the time We didn’t have to try We didn’t have to try REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE There’s a hunger in an empty heart Without love and understanding But a friend can always fill you up With the gift that is never ending REPEAT CHORUS

Maybe we were hypnotized Under an ancient spell But, my heart and soul remembers The very moment we both fell I sit among the photographs Scattered all around the room Black and white and colors Turning blue, turning blue 2. There’s a gallery of memories That is filled with lover’s art I wander thru it daily What we painted with our hearts Hand in hand in Paris And on the beaches of Cancun So, how did these memories Turn to blue, turn to blue Bridge I sit before a canvas A world of colors I can choose I lift my brush and close my eyes To catch a glimpse of you 3. And mix the ocean in the tropics With a cold December sky On the brush I use for memories Of the love we left behind We were just too much like M aybe too good to be true Still, I wish I could wash away all the blue All the blue, all the blue ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Copyright © 2012/2022 ® by Chet Nichols (ASCAP) & Chet Nichols Creative Services (Magic Garage Music Division): Publisher (ASCAP) All US and Global Rights are reserved.

“The Sands Of Time” ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Music and Lyric by Chet Nichols (ASCAP) Copyright 2017/2020 by Chet Nichols (ASCAP) & Chet Nichols Creative Services (Magic Garage Music Division): Publisher (ASCAP) URL: http://www.chetnichols.net Email:: MagicGarageMusic@protonmail.com ChetNichols@me.com :: chet@chetnichols.net ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Final VERSE 1 We never said goodbye That’s what haunted me When I heard the news That dropped me to my knees No time to say goodbye That’s no way for love to end But an unexpected tragedy Mixed your ashes with the wind CHORUS 1 Where are we to go When it’s time that we’re called home? And how am I to know I’ll find someone like you to hold? So, how am I to keep my faith When a heart that once was mine Lies beyond the hills we climbed Across the sands of time? VERSE 2 Some say we are ghosts Just waiting to appear But how do ghosts feel the sun Or smell the rain when it is near? I believe we’re flames That can merge to light our way As we stroll breathing shorelines And dance above the waves BRIDGE Every grain of sand Can hold a memory Of every prayer we prayed And every dream we dreamed Where’s the bridge to cross That’ll take me further home Closer to the arms That I yearn to hold? CHORUS 2 Just like drifting clouds We split and fade away Till autumn winds draw us back To squeeze us tight and make us rain And when the harvest bells fill the air And ring out one last time Oh, that’s when our hearts combine That’s when hearts combine When your hand’s holding mine And we cross the sands of time And we cross the sands of time And we cross the sands of time :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Copyright © 2020 ® by Chet Nichols (ASCAP) & Chet Nichols Creative Services (Magic Garage Music Division): Publisher (ASCAP) All US and Global Rights are reserved.
