THAT GIRL
Words & music by Frank Tierno KEY OF Am

See that girl there
Sitting down right next to you
She can make you feel so fine
and if you wanted to
She would dance the night away
Until the morning’s light
I really don’t just seem to care
I love the color of the clothes you wear
Won’t you shine your love my way
Seasons can go on forever
You’re just so very far
We were meant to be together
All the world’s an open stage
Life is our play
BRIDGE/GUITAR LEAD
REPEAT CHORUS

MISTY WINTER
Words & music by Frank Tierno
Michele May Vocalist

Sleep Gently
My thoughts are whispered
Can’t you hear them
Calling you away
Snow is falling
A misty winter
Hear it calling
Calling you away…
The road has been too long
Many years have flown
Winter reminds me of home
And you
In my arms
Touch gently
The sky is glistening
Can’t you hear it
Calling you away
Snow is falling
A misty winter
Hear it calling
Calling you away
The road has been too long
Many years have flown
Winter reminds me of home
And you
In my arms….

MY FRIEND
Words & music by

Frank Tierno KEY OF D

Who’d have thought
We’d come this far
Today
My friend
Who knows
We
May never
Pass this way
Again
So you try and tell them
What you meant to me
All of life surrounds them
I can’t see
I’m falling
Asleep
Who’d have thought
We’d come this far
Today
My friend
Seems we changed

Forever

We're not the same

In the end

So you try and

tell them

What you meant

to me

All of life

surrounds them

I can't see

I'm falling asleep

LADY DISGUISED
Words and music by Frank Tierno

When we’re alone
You give me the same old story
Feel myself
Drifting and dreaming of glory
Ah ha
Lady disguised
All dressed in faded blue jeans
Women I admire
Pass me by it seems
Ah ha
You’re a lady
Lady disguised
Can’t you see the wonder
In my eyes

Comicbook strips
Of a newborn love affair
Fastbuck tips
From guys in despair
Ah ha
You’re a lady
Lady disguised
Can’t you read the story
In my eyes

ONCE IN A LIFETIME
Words & music by Art Forte & Frank Tierno KEY OF Am

Well everybody knows
Love only comes
Once in a lifetime
Everybody knows…
You gotta steal your way
Thru the stop signs baby

And take a chance on me
Don’t let it slide
‘Cause Love only comes
Once…in a Lifetime

They say that life
Can be sweet
I don’t know it seems
So unkind to me.

And every move that I make
Is just another mistake
Oh no…no…

Baby can’t you see
I’m asking you
To take a chance on me…..

NO TITLE YET

Running around
in a distant town
I still remember you

Streetcar lights
A city night
A pending interview

Stay Lady Stay
recite your stories
Hide in dreams
no one can see

Seasons change
a slumber rain
no time to pay
your dues

Far away
No need to stray
They're coming
into view

Stay Lady Stay
recite your stories
Hide in dreams
no one can see

TAKE ME HOME
Words and music by Frank Tierno

Take me home I long to be
Familiar corners beckon me
And subtle winds
Set me free
Streetcar lights
A city haze
Remind me of
Such better days
Strolling by the sea
Walkin’ through backroads
Hearing the waves roll
Watching the tide Roll in
Singing through backroads
And nippin the Gin
Watching the tide roll in
I....Could not take you
From your dreams
You
Did not know that I’ve seen
I’ve seen you
Where you’ve been
So long
Lonely roads we choose
I’d hate to lose you
So long
Now you're free
So long
Only yesterday
We were so crazy
So long
Now you're free

LONELY ROADS (The Highway Song)
Words & music by Frank Tierno KEY OF D

Well I’m heading down a highway
A song lost in my soul
And I heard that you’re on your way
To be a Star you know
It’s a lonely road
That we choose
Though I still remember you
I’m as free
As the stars all around
And a summer wind reminds me
Of love lost long ago
And the hardest time’s behind me
It’s a feeling I’ve come to know
A lonely road
That we choose
Though I still remember you
I’m as free
As the stars all around
BRIDGE/SAX LEAD
And I’ll be searching…
Searching….
Searching for a place to call my home
And I’ll be leaving…
Leaving…
Leaving all the friends I’ve come to know

Well I’ll be traveling down a highway
Guess I’m just passin’ through
Though another town’s behind me
I still will think of you
Lonely roads
I’ll call my home
And I’ll make it on my own
I’m as free
As the stars all around.

IF ONLY I COULD FIND

Words & Music by Frank Tierno

If only I could find,
This time
Someone to make
My music rhyme
Fill my heart
And dry my tears
Reminisce through golden years
If only I could find
Love
This time

If only I could find
Sunshine
Laughter sweet
To soothe my mind
Color my blues
And paint all grey
If only I could find you
Someway

She left me standing
Nowhere to turn
Had to start again
To learn
Love
Timeless in it’s own way
Forever reminding me of truth

LYRICS

This has been in my head for many years. I think it's really good but the music needs to be written out and recorded -Frank 2/2023
