"Curtain Call"

“Curtain Call”

©️ by Frank DeCenso, Jr.

[Vs1]

When the rain falls hard, on our backyard,

Mem'ries come flashing in;

The children all play, like yesterday,

Cowboys and Indians.

I'm still afraid, of what we made,

When we took separate roads;

We're not complete, both tickling feet,

Holding our children’s’ toes.

CHORUS

Where does love go, when we stop the show,

And feelings say, “That is all”?

Let's try and mend our broken end,

And make a curtain call.

[Vs2]

How’d we go so wrong, in our own song,

That we played from the start?

Did we count the cost, of what would be lost,

If we ever chose to part?

Some attitudes, can become unglued,

To all that we hold dear;

We forget the love, we were made of,

And words sound so unclear.

CHORUS

Where does love go, when we stop the show,

And feelings say, “That is all”?

Let's try and mend our broken end,

And make a curtain call.

[BRIDGE]

Children show a smile wide,

Playing like there're all alone;

But the truth that we're apart right now,

Cuts deeply to their bones...

CHORUS

Where does love go, when we stop the show,

And feelings say, “That is all”?

Let's try and mend our broken end,

And make a curtain call.

"Frozen Time" (Long Version)

“Frozen Time” (Long Version)

Copyright by Frank DeCenso, Jr.

When the light's out, and the night shouts

Your name crystal clear;

The mem'ries rise, and fill my eyes

With forgotten tears.

When cold winds blow, across the snow

That covers up my heart;

The thought of you, just brings me to,

A place that falls apart.

Pre-CHORUS

Sometimes I sit and wonder...

Sometimes I sit and wonder...

CHORUS 1

If we were stuck,

In frozen time,

Where would we be now?

There is no place,

In frozen time,

Where love is lost somehow...

In frozen time,

You'd still be mine...

In frozen time.

A ransom made, can still be paid,

To free us once more;

The past is gone, when time moved on,

Showing what we're for -

Our love still burns, and we have learned,

That hurts can pull apart;

But we are still, a love that will,

Entirely restart.

Pre-CHORUS

I used to sit and wonder...

I used to sit and wonder...

CHORUS 2

When we are stuck,

In frozen time,

We will still be one -

There is no place,

In frozen time,

For this love to be done...

In frozen time,

You'll still be mine...

In frozen time.

[BRIDGE]

I'll stay frozen, with you forever there,

I'll stay frozen, with you forever where...

Our love will last -

There'll be no past -

We'll stay forever frozen,

Alone in our own land.

Pre-CHORUS

There's nothing left but wonder...

There's nothing left but wonder...

CHORUS 3

Cause we are stuck,

In frozen time,

With no place left to go;

We'll live here stuck,

In frozen time,

Eternity will know...

In frozen time,

You're forever mine...

In frozen time.

"New Romance" (Draft)

“New Romance” (Draft)

Copyright by Frank DeCenso, Jr.

You packed your bags all nice and neat,

And said "I'm outta here";

You haven’t said just where you’ll be,

But I guess it won’t be near.

I know I’ve made a mess of things,

And you’ve made that quite clear;

You say we are forever done,

But you’re holding back a tear.

CHORUS

I don’t deserve another chance,

To give to you

A new romance;

But if you do, I promise you -

I’ll take a stance to build us both

A new romance.

If mem’ries bring me to your mind,

And you can’t keep me out;

Remember times that we both shared,

Cause that’s what love’s about.

And if that brings you back to me,

I promise without a doubt,

You’ll never find another heart,

As strong or as devout.

CHORUS

I don’t deserve another chance,

To give to you

A new romance;

But if you do, I promise you -

I’ll take a stance to build us both

A new romance.

[BRIDGE]

I’m here for you,

I haven’t gone;

I only wish I’d been here for you

All along…

CHORUS

I don’t deserve another chance,

To give to you

A new romance;

But if you do, I promise you -

I’ll take a stance to build us both

A new romance.

"That Kind Of Girl" (Long Version)

“That Kind Of Girl” (Long Version)

Copyright by Frank DeCenso, Jr.

I think you’ve got it in your mind,

That I’m a girl you’d prob’ly find,

Looking for a guy like you.

I want to set the record straight,

I’ve got the time and I can wait,

For someone who knows what to do.

CHORUS

I'm not that kind of girl,

The kind you probably you think I am –

A girl who wiggles,

And always jiggles,

To try and get a handsome man.

I know I’ll never be,

You know, the kind that twirls and swirls –

A girl who dances,

And takes some chances,

No, I’ll never be that kind of girl.

I’m sorry if you don’t expect,

A girl that demands more respect,

But that is just how I’ve grown.

Cause I’ve been taught that princes bow,

And I’m not sure that you know how,

Since it’s something you’ve never shown.

CHORUS

I'm not that kind of girl,

The kind you probably you think I am –

A girl who wiggles,

And always jiggles,

To try and get a handsome man.

I know I’ll never be,

You know, the kind that twirls and swirls –

A girl who dances,

And takes some chances,

No, I’ll never be that kind of girl.

If you can ever get it right,

There’s a chance that we just might,

Find a way to get past here.

But I’m not sure you’ll ever learn,

What causes a girl’s heart to turn,

And with me it’s pretty clear.

CHORUS

I'm not that kind of girl,

The kind you probably you think I am –

A girl who wiggles,

And always jiggles,

To try and get a handsome man.

I know I’ll never be,

You know, the kind that twirls and swirls –

A girl who dances,

And takes some chances,

No, I’ll never be that kind of girl.

[OPTIONAL BRIDGE]

It’s not a revelation,

That a girl’s frustration,

Will grow if she’s not treated right;

She needs a good foundation,

And a strong indication,

He will stay more than just one night.

[OPTIONAL CHORUS]

I'm not that kind of girl,

The kind you probably you think I am –

A girl who wiggles,

And always jiggles,

To try and get a handsome man.

I know I’ll never be,

You know, the kind that twirls and swirls –

A girl who dances,

And takes some chances,

No, I’ll never be that kind of girl.
