I Heard Them Say Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown SOCAN I heard them say today's the day she plans to cast me away I heard them say she tends to play love's game with no intent to stay I hear tell today may be the day I heard them say today may be the day I heard them say she's found a way to embarrass every man in town I heard them say she's on her way to heave ho'ing her current clown I hear tell today may be the day I heard them say today may be the day CHORUS I've heard them say I'll be soon out of her way She's gonna rain me off her cloud And I better get ready to hit the ground I hear tell today may be the day I heard them say today may be the day I heard them say that clowns can never learn the easy way I heard them say I've been pink-slip crowned for a final matinee I hear tell today may be the day I heard them say today may be the day CHORUS I've heard them say I'll be soon out of her way She's gonna cast me off her cloud I better get ready to hit the ground I hear tell today may be the day I heard them say today may be the day (c) 2019 Richard Melvin Brown You Tube link https://youtu.be/NuO9uBUwdm0

A Sad and Lonely Home Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown (socan) Boy meets a girl, girl likes the boy And in no time at all they fall in love And before too long they long to say I do After they wed they share one bed And soon a baby boy arrives Their house is a warm and loving happy home CHORUS The baby boy grows up and joins the army A sharp as a tack young soldier So proud to serve his Country But he won't be coming home He was a casualty of war So far away from his loving happy home Now isn't it sad a Mother and Dad Losing their boy in a pointless war He will never come home to his loving happy home CHORUS Their baby boy grew up and he joined the army A sharp as a tack young soldier So proud to serve his Country But he won't be coming home He was a casualty of war So far away from his loving happy home Now isn't it sad when a Mother and Dad Lose their only child in a senseless war And now an old lady and old man live in a sad and lonely home Richard Melvin Brown (c) 2019 You Tube link https://youtu.be/G3zWbgoPx7s

Sting Me 02:48

Sting Me Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown SOCAN When I was young I didn't want to get stung Not by the girl with the pretty smile and the charming darling dimples It's not hard in fact it's simple I told myself that I would never get stung And now that I'm old and rollin' in dough I'm all alone and a rich old man With no one to come home to Like a Tom-fool in a cartoon All because I clung to never getting stung CHORUS And now all I ever wish for these days Is for a prime and passionate Honey Bee to sting me out of my misery And it's no slip of the tounge I wanna get stung So sting me pretty honey bee sting me I never quite thought believe it or not I'd feel this way in my golden years Now alone is what I'm spending While waiting for my ending All because when I was young I never got stung REPEAT CHORUS (c) 2019 Richard Melvin Brown You Tube link https://youtu.be/-xmF67STvmE

I BELIEVED IN YOU Words and Music by Nola McCoy and Richard Melvin Brown SOCAN Vocal by Richard Melvin Brown VERSE 1 You don't need to read my mind by now you should realize Of just how much you mean to me But every time I'd start to infiltrate your Heart You'd turn the key and close the door on me VERSE 2 You brought me out of my shell and that's when I fell And I hoped in time you'd fall in Love with me But I knew it was too good for my dreams to come true I believed in you when I guess I never should CHORUS I guess I never should'a believed I could ever win Just when you start believin' in Love ya get hurt again I guess I never should'a believed you Loved me like ya said I believed in you when I guess I never should VERSE 3 While my Heart pours out the pain my pen cries again The ink is really tearstains from my eyes And I don't wanna be misunderstood I learned my lesson good I believed in you when I guess I never should REPEAT CHORUS (c) 2014 Nola McCoy and Richard Melvin Brown You Tube link https://youtu.be/c9dNQue8SW8

Couldn't admit I Was Wrong words and music by: Richard Melvin Brown (SOCAN) I wonder if she ever notices me When I sneak inside her dreams In the middle of the night When my heart wraps around her gently I wonder if her spirit senses the sad touch Of my mind's melancholy from missing her so much When my lucid dream remembers I love her CHORUS I never wanted to break up I should have just said I'm sorry And now she's gone she was right all along My hell bent on bias ended what should have been our forever love story A sad swan song all because I couldn't admit I was wrong I wonder if I'll ever see her again I fantasize and ponder Of maybe where or when Of which then I will be saying I'm sorry REPEAT CHORIS © 12019 Richard Melvin Brown You Tube link https://youtu.be/BWOqVXIREgc

Just What to Do Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown (socan) VERSE 1 Today I awoke once again in a mood Heart colored sad and feelings painted blue Who would have guessed I'm a right sorry mess You see her eyes spelled goodbye And I had no clue of what I should do CHORUS Maybe I should have told her a little more often I Love you And maybe I should have held her a little more softer Held her hand when she was sad and feeling blue If only, what I know now is what I knew then I'd have known just what to do. VERSE 2 Maybe if I dial her mobile phone She'll hear my voice and she'll wanna come home I will tell her I now am a different guy I'll convince her I am sincere With a new view of just what to do CHORUS Maybe I should'a told her a little more often I Love you And maybe i should have held her a little more softer Held her hand when she was sad and feeling blue If only, what I know now is what I knew then I'd have known just what to do. CHORUS Yes maybe I should'a told her a little more often I Love you And maybe i should have held her a little more softer Held her hand when she was sad and feeling blue If only, what I know now is what I knew then I'd have known just what to do. Yes I would have known just what to do (c) 2019 Richard Melvin Brown You Tube link https://youtu.be/NJTx4pMjcEY

Comfort from This Storm words and music by: Richard Melvin Brown (SOCAN) Verse One: When the late news has been said and friends have gone to bed And morning seems ten million miles away In my mind I hear her call but it ain’t her at all Maybe if I close my eyes her ghost will sail away And maybe on some distant shore I’ll find comfort from this storm Chorus: IF ONLY THIS CLOUDBURST INSIDE MY EYES WOULD GO AWAY MAYBE THEN MY HEART WON’T FEEL THE RAIN IF ONLY I COULD MAKE IT THROUGH THIS OCEAN FULL OF PAIN,THEN MAYBE ON SOME DISTANT SHORE I’LL FIND COMFORT FROM THIS STORM Verse Two: When the red rose is gone and curtains have been drawn And morning still seems ten light years away In my heart I hear the sound of sorrow through the roaring waves If only I could fly beyond this tide like a seagull through the wind Then maybe on some distant shore I’ll find comfort from this storm.

Chimera Is the Word Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown (socan) Why in the world would such a Heavenly girl choose to fall in love with me I certainly ain't complaining but the problem so it seems She is only truly real in my dreams CHORUS Now if you have not heard chimera is the word I specify is my Heavenly girl She's not bona-fide she's not the real deal She's just a figment of my imagination She's only real in my dreams Who in the world would guess a Heavenly girl could make delusion so surreal I'm not a man prone to whinin' but my dilemma's bittersweet You see she's only truly real in my dreams CHORUS Now if you have not heard chimera is the word I specify is my Heavenly girl She's not bona-fide she's not the real deal She's just a figment of my imagination She's only real in my dreams (c) 2019 Richard Melvin Brown You Tube link https://youtu.be/6JXh935vP4A

Painted in Indigo Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown SOCAN Once in a while I ponder while takin' a ride thru yesterday Where is she now I'm wondering why, why true Love dies She once was my one and only her smile lit my fire each and every day Then just like that all that all that we had are now sealed in yesterday CHORUS Yes every now and then they wander in And interrupt my now B-movie role A back when mellow memory from forgotten moons ago And they are forging in rainless rainbows and painted in indigo Guess we took our love for granted Never grasping tomorrow's what might have been Like a mournful nomad my latest look back Burns through the lens of the past CHORUS Yes every now and then they wander in And interrupt my now B-movie role A back when mellow memory from forgotten moons ago And they are forging in rainless rainbows and painted with indigo (c) 2019 Richard Melvin Brown You Tube link https://youtu.be/6tS-EavZDxQ

Along for the Ride 03:30

You Were Only "ALONG FOR THE RIDE" Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown (socan) Every time we were together I felt something warm inside And I wish you could have stayed forever in my life But I knew you, and I knew you were not the staying kind You were only along for the ride. You were only planting lonely dreams upon a one-way journey through my mind And you never ever truly intended to settle down You were only forging lonely roads that weaved across my life You were only along for the ride. I know you had lied to me and I never realized A one-way ride on a angry tide has no way to survive But now I find I’m longing to ride the wave of days gone by When you were only along for the ride. You were only planting lonely dreams upon a one-way journey through my mind And you never ever truly intended to settle down You were only forging lonely roads that weaved across my life You were only along for the ride. To say goodbye sure hurts inside, but I know scars heal in time Even though this pain from yesterday clearly seems so real now And forever I'll remember a time when you were mine When you were only along for the ride. You were only planting lonely dreams upon a one-way journey through my mind And you never ever truly intended to settle down You were only forging lonely roads that weaved across my life You were only along for the ride. Yes you were only planting lonely dreams upon a one-way journey through my mind And you never ever truly intended to settle down You were only forging lonely roads that weaved across my life You were only along for the ride.

The Love of His Life Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown SOCAN Do you see that old man crying nothing left for him now she's gone I heard God reached down took a hold of her hand Napped her and swept her away The love of his life his reason for being alive All he's got left now are memories and the tears heartbreak and pain Are the loss that he feels when he looks at her chair and she's no longer sitting there His beautiful wife, the love of his life CHORUS It must cut like a knife when the love of your life Is suddenly taken away Fifty years she was there beside him Taking lovingly tender care of him But just that she's gone, the love of his life And it must cut like a knife Do you see that old man crying trying to get through just one more day And the Ghost of goodbye film replays in his head When he climbs in his empty bed It's called one more lonely night without the love of his life tag His beautiful wife the love of his life (c) 2019 Richard Melvin Brown You Tube link https://youtu.be/8aBbmUpPojc

King of the World Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown SOCAN Three words I heard into my ear were whispered Seems to be true she just said I love you And I feel like I've won the Lotto While sailing on the Love boat And when I'm alone with my girl I'm the King of the World CHORUS And the King of the World is in love with the girl Who breeds butterflies innermost in this heart Yes when I'm alone with my girl I'm the King of the World These two hearts have so far composed a well-tuned work of art And I know that it shows 'cause my intuition tells me so And I feel like my heart's on fire In passion and desire When I'm alone with my girl I'm the King of the World REPEAT CHORUS (c) 2019 Richard Melvin Brown You Tube link https://youtu.be/0B-dREXvuIE
