“Cinderella Shoes” (Recorded)

“Cinderella Shoes”
Copyright by Frank A. DeCenso, Jr.

[Vs1]
There isn’t much that’s left here but your fancy watch's tune;
You left me hanging by a thread, it broke this afternoon;
The sun's no longer shining, in this love lost hurricane;
All the pieces that you broke, I've swept and blown them...far away.

CHORUS
I've worn a broken dancer's smile,
Trying to spin around;
And that new watch still tells the time,
When you lost what I found…
I’m not a princess I’ve been told,
But there’s much more to see;
I’ve kicked off Cinderella shoes,
And now this strong girl’s free.

[Vs2]
I’m on my way to somewhere, with my heart the only guide;
I hear the voices out there say, “don't ever look behind” –
This new fresh air's inviting, my new memories a home;
I think I forgot your first name, but now I've found my own.

CHORUS
I've worn a broken dancer's smile,
Trying to spin around;
And that new watch still tells the time,
When you lost what I found…
I’m not a princess I’ve been told,
But there’s much more to see;
I’ve kicked off Cinderella shoes,
And now this strong girl’s free.

[BRIDGE]
You left me here,
To rot and cry -
But I've grown new wings, now I'll fly;
No more tears, 
They vaporized -
These gale force winds will carry me...
Beyond this sky -
I've waved goodbye...

CHORUS
I've worn a broken dancer's smile,
Trying to spin around;
And that new watch still tells the time,
When you lost what I found…
I’m not a princess I’ve been told,
But there’s much more to see;
I’ve kicked off Cinderella shoes,
And now this strong girl’s free.

"Two Hearts Bleed" (Recorded)

“Two Hearts Bleed” (Recorded)
Copyright by Frank A. DeCenso, Jr.

[Vs1]
I’d drive a million miles tonight,
To simply find and touch your skin;
You’re all I’ve ever known that’s right,
And I’ve been places no one’s been…
You’re a light in this deep darkness,
That surrounds me hoping I’ll give in;
But you’re the diamond that I miss,
And I won’t stop until you're found again.

CHORUS
When I find you
I will hold you
I will love you through an endless dream;
When together
We'll remember
That alone our two hearts bleed...
Alone our two hearts bleed. 

[Vs2]
That horizon in the distance,
Calls to me and whispers you're still there;
In the quiet of this instance,
All I want's to be buried in your hair…
All the quiet nights await us,
And leaves us nothing left to dare;
Now I’m driving with just one wish,
Let me fall into your arms and breathe your air.

CHORUS
When I find you
I will hold you
I will love you through an endless dream;
When together
We’ll remember
That alone our two hearts bleed...

[BRIDGE]
There’s no detour,
There’s no red light,
No, there is nothing stopping me;
You’re what I’m for,
Through this midnight –
You’re all I want to see…

CHORUS  (2x)
When I find you
I will hold you
I will love you through an endless dream;
When together
We’ll remember
That alone our two hearts bleed...
Alone our two hearts bleed...
Alone our two hearts bleed.
