FEEL LIKE SUPERMAN  
 
I have known
Loves along the way
But nothing compared to this
You make me feel like I can fly
Without wings, just loves bliss
Across the sky

There's just no debatin'
Your loves been worth
All the waitin'
It's touched me to the core
Like nothing has before

And I feel like superman
Invincible
Like there's nothin' I can't do
Dreams do come true
Feel like superman
Feel like superman with you
 
There were times I was floundering
In an ever changing tide
No no, I never had someone in who
I could trust and confide
But now there's you
 
Happiness was fleetin'
It'd come and go in an instant
But it's now and that was then
Love's come to me again
 
And I feel like superman
Invincible
Like there's nothin' I can't do
Dreams do come true
Feel like superman
Feel like superman with you
                                                 
The sun is shinin'
There's no limit
To what this love can be
You have my heart           
You have my soul
You have me
 
I feel like superman
Invincible
Like there's nothin' I can't do
I love how this feels   
And how I feel with you
 
I feel like superman
Invincible
Like there's nothin' I can't do                
Dreams do come true
Feel like superman
Feel like superman with you
 
I feel like superman
Invincible
Like there's nothin' I can't do
Dreams do come true
Feel like superman
Feel like superman with you
       
I feel like superman
Invincible
Like there's nothin' I can't do
Dreams do come true
Feel like superman
Feel like superman with you

IF I'M DREAM'IN


I fell in love with you
Before we ever met
You were someone who I
Couldn’t seem to forget
Thinkin’ about how
Our love keeps on growin’
I can’t live without you is what
I’m knowin’

I used to wish
I could be anywhere else instead
But now with you
There's nothing but clear roads ahead
 
If I’m dreamin’
Please let me sleep don’t wake me
If I’m dreamin’
Let me go wherever it might take me
If I’m dreamin’
 
You’re everything to me
You’re a lesson in love
You don’t tell me how to be
You’re all I think of
 
I've been waitin’ for so long
Love how you make me feel
My love for you is so strong
It’s the real deal
 
There’s no way
Not a chance that I’ll ever change my mind
A better woman
I know I’ll never find
 
If I’m dreamin’
Please let me sleep don’t wake me
If I’m dreamin’
Let me go wherever it might take me
If I’m dreamin’
 
Let me be perfectly clear
Want you always to be here
We will take care of each other
 
There’s no way
That I’m gonna waste another minute
Here’s what I say
It’s my life I want you in it
 
If I’m dreamin’
Please let me sleep don’t wake me
If I’m dreamin’
Let me go wherever it might take me
If I’m dreamin’

If I’m dreamin’

  LIVING LIFE FOR ME - PICKEL / BLUM



Livin' Life For Me   


I'll be okay, I will                                                                   
I'll be okay not too long from now                                 
I'll get through this you know I will                                
Get through this heartache somehow                              
I'll see if time's the best healer you can find                  
I'll be okay, if                                                                      
I don't go out of my mind                                                  
                                                                                         
Why live inside the past                                           
We weren't destined to last                               

I know deep in my heart of hearts
Things are what they should be                          
Times come for me to start
Livin' life for me

I can't keep on the course
Keep on the course that you and I set
That would lead to, would lead to
My livin' with regret
I'll surely think back on times we spent
And wonder where the years went
Where the years went
 
Why live inside the past                                           
We weren't destined to last 
         
I know deep in my heart of hearts
Things are what they should be                          
Times come for me to start
Livin' life for me

What the future holds
Guess time will tell
No matter what 
I wish you well

I know deep in my heart of hearts
Things are what they should be
Times come for me to start
Livin' life for me                           
I've got to just play the hand
That was dealt to me
Times come for me to start
Livin' life for me
Livin' life for me

  

NOT ME ( HAPPY) - For Female Vocal - Eric Pickel, Copyright

You, you're always working
Hard at something
Except me
How's that feel
Me, I'm always empty handed
Looking up to you
What's the deal
 
Why don't you open up
Let me in, have a heart
I'm the one you chose and
I'm falling apart
 
Everybody's got someone
Everybody's got something
But not me, not me
Everywhere I look
Everyone I see
It's happy faces
But not me, not me.
 
There, you got the way you want
As usual your on your own
Here, I'm sitting in the park
I'm tired to be all alone
 
I'm just invisible in this world you own
But you're the only true love
I've ever known
 
Everybody's got someone
Everybody's got something
But not me, not me.
Everywhere I go
Everyone I see
It's happy faces
But not me, not me
 
I've got to pick up myself
Got to change how I'm feeling
Move on
I'll slip away right now in daylight
and You won't know I'm gone
 
Everybody's got someone
Everybody's got something
But not me, not me.
Everywhere I look
Everyone I see
It's happy faces
But not me
Every book I read
Everything I see
It's lands of plenty
but not for me
I've got to change the way
I look at life
And get happy, happy
I'll find a man who cares what I love
And be happy, happy
Happy, Happy
I'll find the right guy and be happy
And he'll take care of me
I won't be who you think I'll be
Not me, not me
I'll be Happy
And all those smiling faces
They'll see Happy
Happy, Happy

MY DAD SAID


I didn't spend much time here
Just summers with my Dad
Dirt bike blow'in back my long hair
Man she threw me everywhere
 
My Dad said
Get up off the ground
Stand up, look sharp
He'd tell me time again
Life is about now, not then, not when
Now grab your helmet son
and shake it off
 
My Dad Said
 
His life, he had his share of bad breaks
But he solved them, one by one
He'd fall, but he'd always fall with grace
and he got us through it all
 
He'd say
Life is about Now, not then, not when
Put your anger down
Life's short my friend
 
I can see those summers here
These pictures on the wall
Tell stories of us all
With Dad
 
Get up on that horse son
Feel that ground
Take care of your name
Don't you run around
Keep your eye on your sister
Pay all your debts
Pass me that nail
We're gonna fix this yet
Now look at me son
When Momma didn't stay
That was my fault
Son wipe those tears off your face
see all the good things
that you've  got in this place
Shake my hand
It's time to go
My little Man
You make me proud
 
In summers I learned all that and more
In summers I learned all that and more
   SINCE YOU CAME ALONG - PICKEL / BLUM - Copyright

SINCE YOU CAME ALONG      
 
I never feared pulling                 
The trigger                               
Stepp'in out of the box                      
To dream bigger                               
 
I always had faith in myself
 
As good as my life was
Now it's even better
We're an open love letter
Life's been great since you came along
Since you came along
 
I quite liked  the Life
I was leadin'                       
I thought that I had all
I was needin'
 
I always had faith in myself
 
As good as my life was
Now it's even better
We're an open love letter
Life's been great since you came along
Since you came along
 
We're so in sync     
We hear the same beat                     
Since you came along                         
My life's complete                  
 
I feel so good
Better than before
The futures our's to live
and I look forward
 
As good as my life was
Now it's even better
We're an open love letter
Life's been great since you came along
As good as my life was
Now it's even better
We're an open love letter
Life's been great since you came along

TRY ME  

 
Been trying to get your attention
But don't get a mention         
Don't know what else to do
To get into your view
Wish you'd let down your defenses
Its' time you came to your senses
What will it take, for you to see
The missing part of you is me
 
I've, been bidin' my time
Waitin'
 
 Seems to me you've tried all the rest
It's time you chose the best
I'm the one you should choose
All to gain nothin' to lose
I feel you slippin' away      
A little bit each day                       
Try me
Come on
Try me
 
I've been down and I've takin' a lickin'
But I'm still kickin'
Time for you to simplify
What you see in your minds eye
Take a better look around
Perfection just can't be found
I work real hard I'm steady
So whenever you're ready
 
I've, been bidin' my time
Waitin'
 
Seems to me you've tried all the rest
It's time you chose the best
I'm the one you should choose
All to gain nothin' to lose
I feel you slippin' away
A little bit each day
Try me
Come on
Try me
 
It's time to get down to the nitty gritty
Come on try me
Hey we were friends first
We've seen each other at our worst
Hard part's over
The time has come
So Come on, try me
 
Seems to me you've tried all the rest
It's time you chose the best
I'm the one you should choose
All to gain nothin' to lose
I feel you slippin' away
A little bit each day, try me
Come on, Try me

TIME FOR A CHANGE    

 
Drivin' to somewhere anywhere 
Thoughts wander to where she and I went wrong
The sad truth is
We never really got along
Tension took over like a dense fog
Couldn't see me anymore   

Ya I thought that we'd go far
But wound up wanting different things
Fell apart
Not sure it's failure or relief                 
I'm feeling in my heart
Both I guess

Chorus
 
Was time for a change
We simply ran out of seasons
And places we could hide
We stayed for all the wrong reasons
Stuff, money, is great divide
My mind's made up there's no turning back
Time for a change, time for a change
 
We drank from cups overflowing with sin     
And we fought
Fights no one could win
We'd go back and forth and never tame
The constant need to keep passing the blame
How was I thinking we'd work
 
It got to be painful each day
To have to keep livin' that way
Why did we
Watched walls crumble and sunlight fade
But didn't question why we stayed
Why did we
 
Chorus
 
Was time for a change
We simply ran out of seasons
And places we could hide
We stayed for all the wrong reasons
Stuff, money, is the great divide
My minds made up there's no turning back
Time for a change, time for a change
My minds made up there's no turning back
Time for a change, time for a change
 
All the IOU’s that I'd collected
Over time were rejected
So I knew                    
We were this hole that we'd never fill
Just too much ill will

Chorus 
 
Was time for a change
We simply ran out of seasons
And places we could hide
We stayed for all the wrong reasons
Stuff, money, is the great divide
My minds made up there's no turning back
Time for a change, time for a change
My minds made up there's no turning back
Time for a change, time for a change
