Still sleep on my side of the bed Reach for you; find your pilow instead Want to steal a kiss before the break of dawn But you're gone; yeah you're gone Make two cups of coffee; can't drink them both Find a clean plate but burn the toast Want a goodbye kiss on the front lawn But you're gone; yeah you're gone I want to kiss you; 'cause I miss you I'm here where you belong; where you belong I'm here where you belong; where you belong Catch myself say, "Honey, I'm home from work" Find a missing button on my last clean shirt Want a welcome kiss; put a TV dinner on Cause you're gone; yeah you're gone Go to bed; turn on all the house lights Pretend you're working late at night Find your iPod; I'm playing your songs Cause you're gone; yeah you're gone I want to kiss you; 'cause I miss you I'm here where you belong; where you belong I'm here where you belong; where you belong Hours pass like days, the nights are long My arms are empty it feels wrong I'm here where you belong; where you belong I'm here where you belong; where you belong I'm here where you belong; where you belong I'm here where you belong; where you belong

Where have you been, where to begin I turned to stone in a dark ocean cave The best of me, sad to say, the waves washed away The barnacle limestone set in You light my path out of the shadows I taste the ocean; I feel the breeze I see possibilities Everything I do, do, do Is feeling new, new, new Because of you, you, you A different point of view, view, view My heart beats true, true, true Because of you, you, you Everything I do, do, do Is feeling new, new, new Because of you, you, you A different point of view, view, view My heart beats true, true, true Because of you, you, you Sea glass and driftwood and rosy pink conch shells Align a cobble stone tea shop on wood plank shelves The holes in my soul, didn’t make you turn away Your hands resting gently mine You light my path out of the shadows I taste the ocean; I feel the breeze I see possibilities Everything I do, do, do Is feeling new, new, new Because of you, you, you A different point of view, view, view My heart beats true, true, true Because of you, you, you Everything I do, do, do Is feeling new, new, new Because of you, you, you A different point of view, view, view My heart beats true, true, true Because of you, you, you You play a note on each raindrop I see the moon above storm I feel reborn Everything I do, do, do Is feeling new, new, new Because of you, you, you A different point of view, view, view My heart beats true, true, true Because of you, you, you Everything I do, do, do Is feeling new, new, new Because of you, you, you A different point of view, view, view My heart beats true, true, true Because of you, you, you

I had the smell of defeat I was laced and tripping You had me so tongue-tied I could feel my sole slipping Hold me tight Hold me tight You know you love, love, love me right When you hold me tight A shoe-string budget worked fine Seeing you were self-taut When Sockcrates asks why And Velcro answers, “Why knot?” Hold me tight Hold me tight You know you love, love, love me right When you hold me tight Hold me tight Hold me tight You know you love, love, love me right When you hold me tight When trouble is afoot We loosen up a bit When I come undone You’re still my perfect fit Hold me tight Hold me tight Love me right Hold me tight Hold me tight Hold me tight You know you love, love, love me right When you hold me tight Hold me tight Hold me tight You know you love, love, love me right When you hold me tight

If I made a list of how I would spend my life Or just made a list of where I want to be tonight If I made a list of what gets me through the day Or just made a list of where I'd put a bouquet Every list I write you're at the top of them all Any list I make big or small You're number one, yeah you're number one to me If I made a list of what I can't live without Or just made a list of places I'd put my mouth If I made a list of what love means to me Or just made a list of what I love to squeeze Every list I write you're at the top of them all Any list I make big or small You're number one, yeah you're number one to me Nothing on a list compares to you at all Come and take your place on the pedestal You're number one, yeah you're number one to me If I made a list

I have my reasons to get up To get up any tower that keeps you in To get up any tower that keeps you in Gives me all the reason I need I have my reasons to makeup To make up any line to steal your heart Like a thief in the night; like a kiss in the dark Gives me all the reason I need You give me plenty of reasons Plenty of reasons Plenty of reasons to do what I do I have my reasons to break down To break down any door imprisoning you To watch your guards fall, falling down, down, down Gives me all the reason I need You give me plenty of reasons Plenty of reasons Plenty of reasons to do what I do I have my reasons to wake up To wake up in the sunshine of your smile To wake up in the sunshine of your smile Gives me all the reason I need You give me plenty of reasons Plenty of reasons Plenty of reasons to do what I do

My arrival for laser tag was no accident Still the grey tie with pen protector was an experiment I've spilt Cyber-bullies' blood to overflowing But right now breathing at all is a serious undergoing You're a someone, a someone I admire The floor boards creak in my heart from the weight of this choir Cause you're a someone, a someone I admire Tired of all the excuses I keep inventing If I don't ask you now I'll keep second guessing With all of my pent up fears the room feels awfully crowded Asking you to the dance is harder than it's ever sounded You're a someone, a someone I admire The floor boards creak in my heart from the weight of this choir Cause you're a someone, a someone I admire I come dressed in a tux but it's a rental This corsage is my heart so be gentle Good or bad we'll remember tonight when we're older Bad or good I'll regret not being bolder You're a someone, a someone I admire The floor boards creak in my heart from the weight of this choir Cause you're a someone, a someone I admire

Sidekick 03:05
If you're the sword, the sword, the sword I'm the strong shield If you're the bomb, the bomb, the bomb I'm the mine field If you're the fang, the fang, the fang I'm the snake bite If you're the axe, the axe, the axe I'm the war cry I'm the sidekick; the sidekick Your boots are much too big for me to fill But it's my biggest thrill to keep you from getting killed If you're the mace, the mace, the mace I'm the spray can If you're the noose, the noose, the noose, I'm the hangman If you're the judge, the judge, the judge I'm the jury If you're the fist, the fist, the fist I'm the furry I'm the sidekick; the sidekick Your boots are much too big for me to fill But it's my biggest thrill to keep you from getting killed I know that look in your eyes There's no changing your mind So in that dark hour when you need me most I'll be by your side I'm the sidekick; the sidekick Your boots are much too big for me to fill But it's my biggest thrill to keep you from getting killed And I will Yes, I will

Your smile lights up, lights up any room Sunshine for this wallflower just waiting to bloom I’m left to wonder ‘bout the choices you make I didn’t expect to see you here I didn’t expect to see you here I didn’t expect to see you here All eyes on you as you walk down that aisle I was one of many there still in denial I’m left to wonder ‘bout the choices you make I didn’t expect to see you here I didn’t expect to see you here I didn’t expect to see you here Still in my arms after all these years I didn’t expect to see you here I didn’t expect to see you here I didn’t expect to see you here Still in my arms after all these years

I was promised on a time To have a reason for my rhyme But from that time to this season I received nor rhyme nor reason No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme After buying running shoes on Amazon I met my bride-to-be in a marathon She dressed like a lamb but she ran like a wolf She said she was a long shot, and I said I like golf I left the monastery a novice monk We headed to Las Vegas to get married that month No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme In a chapel with neon lights July the ninth It had an open bar; we had one too many pints Elvis was the minister; his cape was purple He started the wedding by quoting Winston Church’ll He said, What is love? Baby, don’t hurt me That Elon Musk twitter made me lose my herbal tea No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme Knowing fake news can be quite dangerous What you call a viking is merely a Dane to us For the music I chose a 70’s themed opus But the shrimp and calamari damn nearly choked us Wedding crashers came wearing 50 shades of orange It was Bjorn and Boy George but they called themselves Bjorange No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme The reception hall was raided; we were discombobulated The detective swore the crime scene looked disco-mob related My sweet Alma Maughter had a checkered past But I preferred chess, so the marriage couldn’t last My running bride ran with the candlesticks of silver So let’s play a game of chess and read the comic Dilbert No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
