And then she said hello stranger what's your name

Within the words that she told me
'Cause when she said seems to me I like your style

She took the words right out of what I was thinkin'

It's amazing how our minds can intertwine
She took the words right out of what I was thinkin'

In kindred fashion and favored fate

Love is the Answer
Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown (socan)
VERSE 1

Why there's so many questions
Is God alive or is just a lie
And what are we supposed to believe
Well I'm here to tell you
That whatever the question is
Love is the answer
CHORUS
Whatever the question is
Love is the answer
And whatever you need to know
The evidence will certainly show
That your life is a gift from God
Today and forever after
Whatever the question is
Love is the answer
VERSE 2
I think God is Love I think love is God
It's a clear as a bell conclusion
And love is alive Heavenly verified
Why is there so much confusion
Well I'm here to tell you
That whatever the question is
Love is the answer

A Song Called Love
Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown (SOCAN)
VERSE 1
Love, you took a hold of our heartstrings
And played a pleasing tune
And love, you turned our soul's into something
That makes our heartbeats circle the earth and fly right over the moon
There's no maybe so's, no if ands or butts
In God's amazing creation we call Love
CHORUS
The creation I speak of was fashioned up above
My heart knows for certain it was
And Love's flavor is savored with daughters and son's
In God's amazing creation we call Love
VERSE 2
Love, you've given us the true reason
To want to be alive
Love, you spun the wheel and we won
And Love tastes mostly like peaches and cream , but now and then tangerine
It's pepper and salt, at times sour but mostly sweet
In God's amazing creation we call Love
CHORUS
The creation I speak of was fashioned up above
My heart knows for certain it was
And Love's flavor is savored with daughters and son's
In God's amazing creation we call Love
Repeat CHORUS and Tag

Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown SOCAN

I said I'm the guy in love with her
Can't blame her I know guess I'll take it slow
Til when she decides she's loves me too
CHORUS
But I don't know if I can wait there must be a way
To make her fall in love with me if only I knew
How to make a dream a come true

Kiss her soft and slow see how that goes
I could serve her wine, hope she don't decline
Maybe she'll pretend she loves me too
REPEAT CHORUS

I'm shy don't know why just wanna be her guy
It seems I'm afraid she won't wanna stay

If Only I Could Read Her Mind
Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown (SOCAN)
Verse 1
My hearts description of a picture of her
Is colored in mystery and hanging from my heart
I don't know why my old heart beats this way
It's the sting her eyes reveal and the nervous words she says
Is what's coming from her lips just illusion in the wine
The truth might be clear to me, if only I could read her mind
CHORUS
If only I could read her mind I'd know just what to do
I'd calculate the odds on how to spawn an act of God
I'd find a way I'd meditate and pray
and there would be thunder, bursts of awe and wonder
Our hearts would be aligned
And I'd know just what do to seduce her
If only, if only I could read her mind
Verse 2
And now my Soul just doesn't know if it can trust her lucid smile
Just like Mona Lisa she projects a mystic shine
Why does her presense make me feel weak in the knees
And the glow her heart conveys surely takes my breath away
And is a feeling that is carved in craving just a fantasy
The truth might be clear to me, if only I could read her mind
CHORUS
If only I could read her mind I'd know just what to do
I'd calculate the odds on how to spawn an act of God
I'd find a way I'd meditate and pray
There would be thunder, bursts of awe and wonder
Our hearts would be aligned
And I'd know just what do to seduce her
If only, if only I could read her mind

THE LAW OF LONELINESS
Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown SOCAN
Verse 1
Before we met they called me John Doe public
A noble first class citizen good neighbor of the year
I never thought a woman's smile would make me commit a brilliant crime
Love has locked me up but still I'm blessed
Her love forced me to break the law of loneliness
CHORUS
They say the law of loneliness is a serious offense
With a sentence that consists mostly of solitude confinement
I broke the law, but I am not sorry, I will not beg a pardon or repent
Love has locked me up but still I'm blessed
Her love forced me to break the law of loneliness
Verse 2
Before her smile pierced my eyes I was empty
She filled my heart with desire supreme, with a joy I'd never known
I never thought a woman's touch could captivate this ole boy so much
Love has locked me up but still I'm blessed
Her love forced me to break the law of loneliness
Repeat Chorus and TAG
TAG
Yes her love forced me to break the law of loneliness

0n The Sad Side of Goodbye
Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown SOCAN
VERSE 1
Here on the sad side of goodbye
There ain't no rays of sunshine the skies are always cloudy
And ever since God set free her Soul into eternity
Some recommend I must pretend her leaving was your blessing
But God it's so depressing here on the sad side of goodbye
CHORUS
Here on the sad side of goodbye
The only fix for lonely are memories in a bottle
And her picture on the table here on the sad side of goodbye
VERSE 2
Here on the sad side of goodbye
I try not to remember the heartache and the sorrow
The torment she was goin' through especially through her final days
And until the day that comes my way when I access her dimension
It's reflections in a bottle here on the sad side of goodbye

The Story of my Life
Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown (socan)
Verse 1
If I could re-write the story of my life

I've been truly blessed, befriended by the best
And when my life is through, my earthly review
Will occur in awe and wonder

A rollercoaster ride of wonder, while gravitating 'round the sun

It is absolutely true, I've loved more than one or two,
And those who've called me friend, I'll treasure to the end
Yeah my life's been the kind I recommend

And if there's one thing for sure I know, it's been an amazing show
No need to edit the story of my life

When You Came Into My Life
Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown
VERSE 1
There was a time that I never pretended to care
If love would find me at all here there or anywhere
I made believe that I wanted to live life alone
That was before my ole heart saw the light when you came into my life
CHORUS
Yes those days were before my ole heart saw the light when you came into my life
And I never would have thought that I'd ever feel
The way I feel when you kiss me, when you smile at me
No never again will I be all alone
Those days were before my ole heart saw the light when you came into my life
VERSE 2
When I was much younger thought I never would settle down
It was a life style that only was fit for a clown
Blues were the tunes and the only sure fate that I owned
That was before my ole heart saw the light when you came into my life
Repeat CHORUS twice and Tag
TAG
Yes I won love's highest Heavenly prize when you came into my life

The moment the glow of your smile hit my eyes
My soul crossed the line and my heart was on fire

WHEN TWO HEARTS ALIGN
Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown (socan)
VERSE 1
Have you ever seen magic in motion through your own eyes
Have you ever uncovered that wonder flows from outside space and time
Have you ever thought how amazing when two hearts align
CHORUS
It's such a glorious delight when two hearts align
Spring summer fall or in wintertime
Time of year doesn't matter at all
Heart's skip a beat and in love you fall
A bit bewitched bewildered and mystified when two heart's align
VERSE 2
Ever wonder what colors the smile inside your heart
Ever considered or thought that just maybe a Heavenly hand played a part
How Divine affection can seal the connection when two hearts align
REPEAT Chorus twice and Tag

The Theory of Everything
Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown (socan)
Verse 1
Ever wondered just why the puzzle of being alive
Is a question seems noone knows from within the mind of imagining
Verse 2
Difficult to ascertain even harder to try to explain
I'm not sure but just maybe I think
I've just solved the theory of everything
CHORUS
Love is the reason the stars shine bright
Love is the reason the Planets spin and cheerfully circle the sun
Love is the reason why rain falls down and why sweet roses blossom up from the ground
Love is the equation embellished in awe that finally unravels the theory of everything
Verse 3
Einstein struggled for years and ended up with just tears
Sorry Albert but here's what I think
I've just solved the theory of everything
REPEAT CHORUS twice and TAG
TAG:
Yes love's the equation to the theory of everything
