Love Doesn’t Die
Words and Music by Mark Clayton

Don’t Go were the words I should have said
Were the words that might have lead us
To a different place then where we are right now
I’ll stay were the words I had to hear
Were the words I seemed to fear
Would never leave your lips and fall into my ears

I still love you and I know that you still care
Let’s not play this game, let’s stop this pain
And kiss it goodbye
Let’s take back love, cause love doesn’t die

How in the world could I live
How in the world could I give
All of the love I have for you to someone else
And now all that is left is just the pain
Scattered glass, a broken frame
That hung up on the wall for everyone to see

I still love you and I know that you still care
Let’s not play this game, let’s stop this pain
And kiss it goodbye
Let’s take back love, cause love doesn’t die

Many times, I need to be alone
Walking thru love’s maze sometimes a danger zone
Drowning in your sea of love I found it true
That a life without you baby is a life that I can’t do

I still love you and I know that you still care
Let’s not play this game, let’s stop this pain
And kiss it goodbye
Let’s take back love, cause love doesn’t die
Let’s take back love, cause love doesn’t die

Looking In Our Eyes
Words and Music by Mark Clayton

When she smiles at me
She knows that’s all it takes for me
And I don’t need to know the reason why
Her smile gets me high
That’s just her way with me

And when she talks to me
She shows a side she saves for me
It’s then I see her innocence within
The woman that I know
She’s always been to me

When I hold her in my arms
I never want to let her go
And still at times we’re insecure
I guess that’s just the way it goes
All the times we’ve known together
We have always recognized
We can feel our love
By simply looking in our eyes

And when she laughs with me
It’s like a song in harmony
And I don’t need to know the reason the reason why
Her smile gets me high
That’s just her way with me

But when her love shines through
I wonder how I’d make it through
A day without a look into her eyes
And hold her close at night
She’s everything to me

When I hold her in my arms
I never want to let her go
And still at times we’re insecure
I guess that’s just the way it goes
All the times we’ve known together
We have always recognized
We can feel our love
By simply looking in our eyes
We can feel our love
By simply looking in our eyes

Secrets
Words and Music by Mark Clayton

Inside out, outside in
Sometimes we lose, sometimes we win
Lock the door the devil sneak’s in
At times you’ll never see

You’re up, you’re down
You turn your head to turn around
And what you see doesn’t make you
Want to run away

Everybody’s got their hidden secrets
Everybody’s got a reason for it
Like that mirror hanging on your closet door that’s always closed
Everybody’s got a sad sad story
Everybody’s looking for some glory
I’m just looking for somebody I can tell my secrets to

I don’t know where I’ve been
I knocked on a door and now I’m in
I think I said good evening
As the Devil gave a grin

Everybody’s got their hidden secrets
Everybody’s got a reason for it
Like that mirror hanging on your closet door that’s always closed
Everybody’s got a sad sad story
Everybody’s looking for some glory
I’m just looking for somebody I can tell my secrets to

Solo

A Shade of Blue
Words and Music by Mark Clayton

I went to lay a red rose on your pillow
Foolish how I thought you’d be alone
Your laughter should have made it clear
Though I never dreamed I’d ever hear
All the things I heard behind your door

Now I’m looking for a glass of water
Before the rose I’m holding wilts away
I guess it comes as no surprise
I’ve seen the distance in your eyes
Telling me what you could never say

There’s nothing left for me to do
There’s nothing left for me to say
But nothing seems to be the way my heart feels now
And now my hearts a shade of blue
Because of you
A shade of blue that I’ll call you

Instrumental

In the Rain
Words and Music by Mark Clayton

In the rain, nothing is heard
In the rain, not even a word
In the rain, it washes all the pain
It’s all that still remains after you

In the rain, it always sets me free
In the rain, I don’t need to look to see
In the rain my thoughts can hold the pain
Trying to explain after you

But then the sun comes out to dry away the tears
A new day to awaken, a new day with no fear

In the rain, I still take walks with you
In the rain, remember all the things we’d do
In the rain like a beautiful refrain
It takes me to that day I fell in love with you

Instrumental

In the rain like a beautiful refrain
It takes me back to you in the rain

I Found You in My life
Words and Music by Mark Clayton

Look into my eyes I’ll do the same for you
Tell me what you see besides they’re tired and blue
I sometimes see the pain I caused for two
(Still) You’re the sweetest eyes this old man ever knew
I want you, I need you
Never doubt the love I carry for you

You’re the star that lights my life
The rain that cleans my eyes
You’re the only thing that’s right
In a life I filled with lies
Why you never left, I’ll never know
And each day that passes by
I thank God every evening
I found you in my life

I’ll hold you in my arms till the end of time
Making up for all those wasted times
I still can see that day, feel that breeze blowing thru
In the Commons on a bridge at two
I knew then, I know now
There’s no life without you somehow

You’re the star that lights my life
The rain that cleans my eyes
You’re the only thing that’s right
In a life I filled with lies
Why you never left, I’ll never know
And each day that passes by
I thank God every evening
I found you in my life

I took the good times
I’ll take the bad times
I’ll take all the time you give me
No more excuses
Cause what’s the use if
We don’t open up that door

You’re the star that lights my life
The rain that cleans my eyes
You’re the only thing that’s right
In a life I filled with lies
Why you never left, I’ll never know
And each day that passes by
I thank God every evening
I found you in my life

Ain’t It the Truth
Words and Music by Mark Clayton

Sit right down and tell your story
All I ask is don’t you try to glorify what happened
Stand for once behind your actions
And you will see a major change
Where you thought love did not remain
And watch how fast it moves us
To that place that still eludes us in our lives

Ain’t it the truth how the truth sometimes hurts
Ain’t it the truth how the truth tore us apart
Why’d you have to say and do those things you did to me
You ripped the fabric of two friends
You tore the heart from me
Ain’t it the truth
Ain’t it the truth

Now we stand upon the ledge
Where truth below is found they said
Where rivers run the deepest
It’s the currents that’ll keep us
And yet we find we’re not alone
We each find others on this throne
It’s all the same between us
Different names the only difference to me now

Ain’t it the truth how the truth sometimes hurts
Ain’t it the truth how the truth tore us apart
Why’d you have to say and do those things you did to me
You ripped the fabric of two friends
You tore the heart from me
Ain’t it the truth
Ain’t it the truth
Ain’t it the truth

Why’d you have to say and do those things you did to me
I gave you everything I had
I gave you all of me
Ain’t it the truth
Ain’t it the truth
Ain’t it the truth
Ain’t it the truth

It’s two in the morning and I’m lying in bed
Thinking of what I should do
My mind starts to wander my thoughts run away
And they run away always to you
And just like the rainbow that comes from your tears
Like the river the flows to the sea
We’re like a rocket that’s about to take flight
One touch and then we ignite

Night after night I keep thinking of you
And I know that you’re thinking of me
And I laugh when I’m told all the things I should do
How they value advice they give free
And just like the glow from the moon in the sky
And the gleam from the fresh morning dew
You are the flame In my eyes burning bright
One touch and then we ignite

One touch and then we ignite like a rocket in flight
Like a candle whose flame never dies
One touch is all that it takes
Time will never erase all those mornings and nights
One touch and then we ignite

Instrumental

Some say that Suzy was the hottest girl in town 
Sidewalks sizzled as she walked
But Suzy had a past that no one knew about 
Except that boy in town who loved to talk

His name was Tony and they said he got around 
More than a man could ever do
But Tony moved here for one reason, so it’s said 
To find the girl that broke his heart in two

Run Suzy, Run Suzy, run as fast as you can
Don’t be a fool and don’t look back
You roll the dice on love and when the game is done 
You, run Suzy, run Suzy run
Run Suzy Run

And then one day fate played the card she held
Suzy ran a yellow light at two
Suzy claimed she never saw the boy who stepped into 
Her crosswalk where his heart could not get through

Run, run, run Suzy
Run, run, run Suzy
Run, run, run Suzy, run Suzy run Run, run, run Suzy
Run, run, run Suzy
Run, run, run Suzy, run Suzy run

Run Suzy, Run Suzy, run as fast as you can
Don’t be a fool and don’t look back
You roll the dice on love and when the game is done 
You, run Suzy, run Suzy, run, run Suzy run

Solo

Run Suzy, Run Suzy, run as fast as you can
Don’t be a fool and don’t look back
You roll the dice on love and when the game is done 
You, run Suzy, run Suzy, run Suzy
Run Suzy, run Suzy, run Suzy
Run Suzy, run Suzy, run Suzy
Run Suzy Run
Run Suzy Run
Run Suzy Run
Run Suzy Run

She’s gone and it’s all I can do to move on 
I don’t care who’s right or who’s wrong 
My heart still aches for you
A beat once shared with you

She’s gone and I don’t know if I’ll survive 
My heart I don’t feel it’s alive
It’s such an aching pain
Now nothing is the same

She’s gone
She’s gone
And I’ve tried so hard to carry on 
And I’ve tried Lord
I’ve cried Lord
I’ve died Lord, but what else can I do 
Still when I look for her
She’s gone

She’s gone like pedals on a flower they belong 
Till that day that wind comes blowing on
On me like your words use to do
A prelude of a kiss for two

She’s gone
She’s gone
And I’ve tried so hard to carry on 
nd I’ve tried Lord
I’ve cried Lord
I’ve died Lord, but what else can I do
Still when I look for her
She’s gone

Instrumental

She’s gone
She’s gone
And I’ve tried so hard to carry on 
And I’ve tried Lord
I’ve cried Lord
I’ve died Lord, but what else can I do 
Still when I look for her
She’s gone
She’s gone
