Best Day

MISSING YOU
Renée Lamoureux/ Keith Macpherson/ Chris Burke-Gaffney

What’s new with you?
I’m just checking in
How was your day?
Honey how you been?
We talk every night
On the telephone
It’s not the same
So I’m coming home

Chorus
I’m gonna make up for lost love
One kiss at a time
Baby, you’re all I’ve been dreaming of
I’ll be home tonight
Yeah, I’ve sure been missing you

I'll think of you
When I take that drive
The thought of you
Keeps me alive
Our song was playing
It past the time
I’m counting down
The hours til you’re by my side

I know it won’t be long
Til we’re together

BEST DAY
Chris Burke Gaffney/ Keith Macpherson/ Renée Lamoureux

She was born in Oklahoma
He was raised in Baton Rouge
Somehow they got all hooked up
Cause that’s what lovers do
They tore up every highway
Between here and Russell Flats
They didn’t think about the future
They didn’t worry about the past

He said I don't care where we're going
I just care where we're at

Chorus:

Yesterday was fine
Tomorrow might be even better
But we can’t spend our time
Worrying about the end
This road is yours and mine
so baby let’s drive it together
Cause today is the
Best day of our life

22 months later
Second baby on the way
They bought a house with a wrap around porch
In the heart of the USA
And they never lost their passion
For the simple things in life
And their love just kept on growing
Bigger than a prairie sky
She said: 'I'm gonna love you right now like the very first time'

He was standing at the doorway
About to kiss his wife good bye
His second tour of duty
He said honey don’t you cry

OUT THERE TOO
Renée Lamoureux/ Keith Macpherson/ Chris Burke-Gaffney

It takes time to find
An original guy, but I’ll keep trying
Call me pitiful
I believe you’ve gotta put it out there
Cause out there’s better than in

Chorus:

I’m a little to the left
Tell jokes that no one gets
I’m outside of the box
I think Def Leopard rocks
Need a man who understands
The kind girl I am
I’m a little bit out there
Are you out there too?

I know I can be unpredictable
Please try not to be over critical
I wish I had someone to play Scrabble
But the only letter missing is U
I place an add online
With a yellow Valentine

I place my bet on love
It’s all I’ve been dreaming of

Final Chorus:

I’m a little to the left
Tell jokes that no one gets
I’m outside of the box
I think Def Leopard rocks
I’m the kind of girl
Who likes to watch the world
With over optimistic eyes
At least that’s what I try
I’m looking for a man
Who gets me as I am
I cry when Oprah cries
Eat Frosty’s with my fries
I’m a little shy
Someday I’ll tell you why
I’m a little bit out there
Are you out there too?

SLEEPING AROUND
Keith Macpherson/ Renée Lamoureux/ Chris Burke-Gaffney

No more sleeping around
And always painting the town
No more playing the field
Now I'll say what I feel

You're my dream of a girl
You're my top of the world
There's no reason to rhyme
You are one of a kind

Chorus:

There's no one like you babe
There's no one that's ever made me feel this great

No more playing the game
No more awkward exchanges
No more having to try
No more wondering why

Goodbye complications
Cause I've found salvation

No more trying to be cool
I've got nothing to prove
No more drunken regrets
No more trying to forget

MOMENT I'M WITH YOU
Renée Lamoureux/ Keith Macpherson/ Lauren Pardini

I heard the phone and I got distracted
My boss is calling I can’t relax
With all the papers on my desk
I can’t seem to catch my breath
Things are looking up cause
I’m counting down the hours til I’m out
Every second, getting closer

Chorus:

To the moment I’m with you
I know everything is cool
I can finally be still
I can let myself be real
When I look into your eyes
I lose all my sense of time
There is nothing left to do
In the moment I’m with you

Lying in your bed on Tuesday
Sleeping in cause we don’t care
Together we just lose ourselves
Watching re-runds playing truth or dare
And it feels so good
To turn off the world around us
Nothing coming, nothing going

How calm the world
How great is great
When you and I
Can take a break
Cause while the world
Is buzzing around
You and I don’t hear a sound

YOU ROCK ME
Chris Burke-Gaffney/ Keith Macpherson/ Renée Lamoureux

I woke from this dream
Not sure what it means
I saw you everywhere
Chasing butterflies with flowers in your hair

Chorus:

The first time we kissed
Yeah, my heart exploded
One taste of your lips
And it was over
The sound of your voice
Left me no choice
You rock me baby

On that summer night
We stood side by side
The stars had come alive
There was nothing in the world that we’d ever need to hide

LUCKY

Renée Lamoureux/ Keith Macpherson/ Chris Burke-Gaffney
Have a seat, stay a while, we can talk, you can lie down beside me
And I’ll pour you a sparkling wine
Cause when you’re here, everything that meant something to me, means nothing
With your hand holding mine
When you touch me I die
To the moon I could fly

Chorus:

I’m lucky you love me
Lucky you love me like that

Say you’ll stay here tonight and forever we can dream the same dream
Pull your body close to mine
Cause with you there’s a reason to believe that the stars are aligning
It’s the first day of our life
Baby, the way that we fit
I’d bet my life upon it
I’m lucky you love me
Lucky you love me like that

Someday when we’re older
Grand kids bouncing on our knees
The smell of lilacs in the breeze
I’ll look at you and see what I’ve always seen

PARTY GOING ON
Keith Macpherson/ Renée Lamoureux/ Chris Burke-Gaffney

My aunt beth she's been cheating on death
She says the secret to a her life is to party all the time
She's at least 94, still dancing up a storm
And when we throw a party she's the last one out the door

Chorus:

There's a party going on
And everyone's invited
All around the world
There's a party going on
You just bring yourself
And everybody else
All around the world there's a party going on
Yeah, you can't go wrong
We only get one life so let's party til we're gone

Every year the Chambers round up all the neighbors
For a baseball game and a BBQ
There's that dude who runs the store
Yeah he'll be keeping score
The sun is shining and the sky is blue

Get your friends and lovers, sisters and your brothers and everybody in between
Take this minute cause you're already in it and tell them how much they mean

I'M GONNA WAIT
Renée Lamoureux/ Keith Macpherson/ Chris Burke-Gaffney

I watch the clock
Each day lasts forever
Baby baby I get tired
Feel I’ve been living
A hundred lifetimes
But my heart’s still on fire
We belong
And it won’t be long
Hold on, hold on, hold on

Chorus:

I’m gonna wait
Saving the very best for you
I’m gonna wait
Cause nobody else will ever do

I see my reflection in the water
We’re growing older every day
But my mother’s patient
And I’m her daughter
Patient is what I’m gonna be
Keep me close
Wherever you may go
Let’s hold on, hold on, hold on

I can wait til the seasons change
Cause I know they’ll come back again
Just like you’ll come walking through the door
I can wait til the sun burns out
I don’t have the slightest doubt
They’ll be so much more

WILDFLOWER
Keith Macpherson/ Renée Lamoureux/ Chris Burke-Gaffney

She always had that spark in her eye
She drew a crowd in without even trying
She took me places that I'd never been
She made me see things that I'd never seen
She didn’t know the meaning of fear
She lived her life in the now and the here
And if you ever really needed a friend
She’d be there again and again

Chorus:

She was a wildflower
Life just ain't as good without her around
Wildflower
So long, so long

She looked so comfortable in her skin
She brightened up every room she walked in
She was the high school rebel, that’s for sure
And all the girls were probably wishing they were her
She was the only woman I ever loved
But I wonder if I told her enough
Now I wake up every single day wondering
Why’d you have to take her away?

I still see her in the sun

I’d like to thank you all for coming today
There are so many things that I want to say
We’re here to celebrate a beautiful life
But I’m not ready to say goodbye

Detours

THE ONE
Renée Lamoureux/ Keith Macpherson

Something's going on in my heart, I can feel it
Something's taking place in the world, I believe in
Peace for you, peace for me
No one is an enemy
We can be the leaders of change

Chorus:
The One (3x)
The power of the one

Love is all we need in the world to make a difference
I dare you to speak and stand up for the planet
Nothing's right, nothing's wrong
Everybody get along
We can be the leaders of change

Chorus

One planet
Understanding
One chance to make things better
One world of
Peace and love
I know it's true
Everybody come together

The One

Nothing's right, nothing's wrong
Everybody get along
We can be the leaders of change

CRYING
Renée Lamoureux/ Keith Macpherson

I’ll never let you see my face
Not in this state I grace
I’ve got my pride and my reputation

I’ve been waiting on a cloudy sky
A companion for my teary eyes
The heartache remains
The love I hold’s the same

Chorus:
I’ve been crying all night (3x)
Over you

I designed this wreck myself
I chose the path from heaven to hell
Since the day you left since the day you told me

I want to smile and walk in the sun
I want to forget you’re the one
But it’s too soon to change
I’m ready for the rain

Chorus

BUT I DO
Keith Macpherson/ Renée Lamoureux

I called your phone
No one was home
I sent you flowers and a letter

I told your friends
That in the end
I just want to be together

Cause after all that we've been through
The hardest part is losing you

Chorus:
Baby, you say it's over
I'm pretty sure you're just confused
You're doing one thing
I feel the other
You don't think I love you but I do

Let's make a deal
This time for real
C'mon honey I won't let you down

Let's shake it off
Let's move it on
I want to get this going strong

If there's a problem let me know
Don't just walk away so cold

Chorus

Sometimes it's hard for me to make love work
It takes some patience when your heart’s been burned
Show you every reason why it’s all been worth it

FERRISWHEEL
Renée Lamoureux/ Keith Macpherson

Tonight I want to be with you
Tonight I want to carve your name in stone
I’m taking my baby out
Taking him to the carnival

I want to ride all the rides
I want to have him on my side
Tonight you’re gonna make me smile
You’re the only one I want

Chorus:
You make all my dreams come true
You make my eyes set still on you
You make everything feel brand new
I know (3x)
When I’m being wrapped up inside your arms
I want to give you what ever you want
From up, up high on a ferriswheel
I know (3x)

I’m crazy in love with you
You take me higher than an air balloon
We’re bumping boats, crashing cars
Watching the moon
Counting the stars

Chorus

You make all my dreams on a Saturday night
You make me remember why I am alive
Make every minute feel so real
I know (3x)
I’m in love

GOTTA BE TRUE
Keith Macpherson/ Renée Lamoureux/ Blake Manning

Lindsay Bacon took a vacation
Slept the weekend off
Called in Sunday
Sick on the Monday
Thought she had a cough
She's gotta rest up for what it's worth
Gotta cash in the time she earned

Gotta be true
Gotta be true to you
Gotta be true
Gotta be true to you

Mark's ambitious wife the physician
Always calling shots
She stays most days
Late doing surgery
Comes home feeling lost
Doesn't know life beyond her work
About to find out life takes a turn

Gotta find you
Gotta be true to you
Gotta find you
Gotta be true to you

You're thinking by now you should've learned
To take a vacation from your work

Gotta find you
Gotta be true to you
Gotta find you
Gotta be true to you

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
Keith Macpherson/ Renee Lamoureux

I like the way that you look at me
Your smile turns me into a fool
At work, I'll look at your picture honey
One glance elevating the mood
So don't you change for me

I like the way that you compliment me
We're so easily amused
When I'm a clown, you'll always laugh at me
No matter how bad a joke I use

Everyday you want to live for me
Everyday you want to give to me
We've got an understanding what will be
So don't you change for me

What we've got is complex
It's so real and honest
You're perfect
You're flawless
So don't you change (2x)

I like the way that you look at me
I like the way that you compliment me
I like you just the way you are

JENNY
Keith Macpherson/ Renée Lamoureux

Jenny's smiling back at me
I'm flying high on ecstasy
Her picture paints a vision on my wall
Sunset fades across the sky
Another day another night
Reminds me that we're both in separate lives

Chorus:
I feel love for you everyday
I feel love for you anyway
I feel love for you everyday
Til the lights go out

Like California skies of blue
She'll clear you up and change your mood
She always knows exactly what to do
Just as constellations shine
There's no reason for her rhyme
She leaves me guessing,
Hoping she'll be mine

Chorus

SAY IT IS
Renée Lamoureux/ Keith Macpherson

I get up everyday
To the sound of my radio
I take the 8am
Drives me to the North End
I watch the sun come up
Meditate a little prayer

I get to work by 9
I don’t like the work I do
I sit down at my desk
Wondering what I’m up to
And how I got to here
Was no big surprise?

Chorus:
Say it is
Say it is possible
Say I’d want to start over?
Say it is
Say it is possible with me

Once I wrote a book but
I never got it published
I thought I had the voice
That could break a golden record
And If I would of pushed
How far would I have gone?
Now can I move on oh?

Chorus

And If there’s a lesson I’ve learned
I’d taken chances
Instead of letting them burn
Now can I move on oh?

Chorus

MIND GAMES
Renée Lamoureux/ Keith Macpherson

I cannot sleep with you tonight
No words you say make me feel right
I toss and turn to get you out of sight

And when I wake up, you’re still there
Even in the bathroom, no matter where
I’m going crazy with you by my side

You’re still speaking
Please stop talking
There’s no reason why you try to bruise me

It’s the mind (3x)

Help me remember who you are
I’m on this planet filled in stars
But somehow you crash in and crush my heart

Your comments breathing down my neck
I’ll pinch my skin so I’m in check
You get me mad
Why am I upset?

Am I dreaming?
You’re here screaming
What’s the reason?
Why you try to ruin me?

It’s the mind (3x)

Then it gets quiet, I hear no sound
My heart begins to dance around
I let you go and I start to live
So much beauty I never knew
So much to love, so much is true
How did I miss it?
Where did I go?

It was the mind playing games

THAT’S LIFE
Keith Macpherson/ Renée Lamoureux

I am sitting in my single room apartment
The walls are cracked but the window's got a view
I see the neighbor’s daughter waiting for a streetcar
The dress she's wearing is reminding me of you

I've got you on my mind
It's just gonna take some time

You were gonna be my Juliet of good dreams
I was gonna be your Romeo adorer
I remember playing music on your front porch
We don't even get together anymore

What went wrong with you and I?
It's just gonna take some time
But that's life

The air soaks up memories of you
It's all I have to get me through
It's true
It'll do

IT’S COMPLICATED
Renée Lamoureux/ Keith Macpherson

If you wait for me I’ll wait for you
Call me when you’re 42
6am and you’re up and gone
I think that you found someone
There’s fear written all over my face

Chorus:
It’s complicated
It keeps me frustrated
Wondering what we are
I’m sure you’re feeling
This confusion
Once we were lovers now were friends

I’m so scared bout the way that I feel
Don’t know if it’s true or real
When I think I’ve got it under control
Your name comes up and I grow cold
Takes me a while to get used to change

Chorus

This is what we came to be
I hate the way you treated me
Should I stay I’m too blind to go
I love you more then I know
