Chocolate Bossa

Starting Over There are times In all of our lives When you see the world around with such beautiful clarity And you want it so to last But the time goes by so fast And when that precious moment’s past You’re starting over There are people Who pass into our lives And you think they will be right beside you forever But if you hold on way too much Or use one as a crutch When they shatter at your touch You’re starting over You’ve got to build a dream From scattered pieces on the ground Then have to believe In everything you’ve made and found And start to feel the magic Coz there’s magic all around And it’s written in the rhythm And the waves of every sound But no matter how long You sing your song It has to end And your starting over You are having the time of your life When you step back and get a touch too much perspective And the different points of view Turn you seven shades of blue And each shade is telling you You’re starting over - ©2008 Chris Conway

Time To Talk 04:40
Time to Talk You were looking right at me and I’ve Been looking at you There are so many things that I Want to tell you Time to talk - where the air is clearer Talk – where we can be by ourselves Talk – where we can get nearer And everything will be well chorus But every time I try to tell you why I feel this way The moment always seems to pass me by Gotta wait for another day – another day We’ve been together a while and I Need to know How far and how quickly we both Want to go Time to talk – do we live together? Talk – try to live for two as one? Talk – will it last forever? An will it still be fun chorus When we’re in a room together there’s A strange atmosphere The only things which keep us together are Comfort and fear Time to talk – get it into the open Talk – can we really make amends? Talk – why am I secretly hoping This is really the end? chorus

The Answer ©2008 Chris Conway You love the idea of me But not the reality Because your fantasy Is something I can never be But I hope that you’ll find That special one in your mind And given luck and given time They’ll have the answer We gave it everything we had Some shelter in a world gone mad I don’t know how good times turned bad But we’re not here to make each other sad So it’s time to move on No one’s right, no one’s wrong And like a child, like a song We’ll seek our answer But when times were right We used to talk all night And let our dreams take flight Until the morning light But piece by piece our love Fell like the leaves From autumn trees On cold and breezy days Spring seems so far away We all have questions deep inside Solutions try their best to hide By being so magnified You can’t see them though they’re miles wide But when you pause and reflect Certain facts just connect And in the feelings you reject You’ll find your answer

Love At First Light ©2008 Chris Conway Suddenly it’s morning see the sun rise Don’t look back I can hear you calling right by my side Don’t be afraid, I’m right by your side Love is awake, To keep us alive Love at first light The sun, your eyes, the skies Things we said last night This is true love at first light

The Missing Years Where were you? Where was I? How did time pass us by? With everything we’ve been through What can you say? What can I do? Can we try something new? The missing years, the missing years Where was I? Where were you? Where am I? Where are you? It came right out of the blue Bluer than summer skies No promises and no disguise No distances in our eyes The missing years, the missing years Here you are Here am I Here am I

The End 05:33
The End The end is in sight now. Last of our darkest nights. All our fears will be over. All our tears are gone and forgotten. Wake with the sunrise. The stars are your only guide. Take me down to the river, Hear the sound of love dancing in your heart The end is in sight now. Last of our darkest nights. All our fears will be over. All our tears are gone and forgotten. Wake with the sunrise. Take me down to the river, Hear the sound of love. ©2008 Chris Conway.
