HEAVEN [written by CJeffries c. 2009]
V1
It’s hard I know
Everybody says so
I hear it everyday in the news
“It’s bad”, they say
Repeated day to day
To put my whole life in review
For days like these
Have brought me to my knees
Oh my God, ain’t enough enough
Then I look at you
And realize it’s true
These precious things will never make me tough
CHORUS
Look at me
I must be in Heaven
If Heaven means I’m right here with you
Look at me
I must be in Heaven
And Heaven means I’m right here with you
Tonight
V2
I lost some things
Fancy cars and diamond rings
Manna I thought exalted “me”
I don’t need cars
Don’t need lucky stars
To tell me what I really ought to be
For you and me
From everything I see
What we have is all we’ll ever need
CHORUS
[Heaven pg 2]
BRIDGE
When it’s dark and you think, “It’ll never be light”
Take my hand
When it’s wrong and you can’t see it ever bein’ right
Take my hand
When you need to be strong
Make a stand and baby hold on
Take my hand, baby
Take my hand
CHORUS
Look at us
We must be in Heaven
Heaven means we’re right here tonight
Look at us
We must be in Heaven
Heaven means we’re right here tonight
Look at us
We must be in Heaven
[If] Heaven means I’m right here tonight
With you
It’s Heaven

I KNOW I’D KNOW YOU [Written by C. Jeffries c. 1984, 2010]
V1
Ordinary people meet
In the bars, in the stores
Maybe on the streets
They take a chance, Yeah!
Maybe indiscrete
To try and find the one
That makes ‘em feel the heat
But though I’ve never seen your face before
I look in every hallway, every window, every door
CHORUS
[Cause]
I know I’d know you
I know I’d know you
You know I know it’s true
I know I’d know you
I know I’d know you
I know you’d know it too
V2
Fall onto the scent like a hound
Sifting through the faces
Coursing through the town
I take a glance, Yeah!
On the passing crowd
And turn on every motion
Jump at every sound
An though I’ve never seen your face before
I pry in every corner, every closet, every drawer
CHORUS
V3
Ripping through GQ by the stack
Tearing through the pages, never looking back
I pick a face, Yeah!
Off the magazine rack
To try and fill the dream
Their images lack
And no, I’ve never seen you face before
I looked at every cover, every billboard, every store
CHORUS [2 X]

…AND THE MOMENTS GONE
Words and music/C. Jeffries [c.1983 and 2008]
V1
In time you realize
A glimpse, a fleeting moment
You stop and analyze
She’s here, she’s gone in movement
You turn to catch her eye
She stops but doesn’t notice
You hope as she walks by
She turns, she moves, it’s hopeless
Chorus
Close your eyes, turn your head
And the moments gone…
V2
Close your eyes and stare
Holding time in motion
She’s open and she’s there
Withstanding all your reason
Dream and fill your mind
You focus on the passion
Smile, she’s everywhere
You turn, you move, illusion
Chorus [2x]
V3
You melt into embrace
To touch, to feel, to linger
No time, no time to waste
You know the need, the hunger
Chorus [2x]

WE DON’T TALK ABOUT IT, ANYMORE
Words and music/ C. Jeffries [c. 1983 ,2008]
V1
We don’t talk about it, anymore
Same old story, same old score
So we don’t talk about it, anymore
We have our problems
I know it well
Always something there to hide
Neither one can tell
So we don’t talk about it, anymore
We don’t talk about it
Close the door
V2
We don’t think about it, anymore
Something’s [always] easy, left ignored
Just don’t think about it, anymore
We had our problems
I know damn well
Always some one there to say
What we’d never tell
So we don’t want to hide it, anymore
We don’t want to hide it
Close the door
Bridge
I know what the others [would] say
“It doesn’t matter, anymore”
[But] I’ve heard their lies
They criticize
But it’s tragedy they hunger for
V3
We don’t talk about it, anymore
Seemed so simple, so much in store
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh. Oh,
Anymore

I'll Still Think Of You

I’LL STILL THINK OF YOU
Music and words/ C. Jeffries [c. 1985 and 2008]
V1
You with the world in your hands
Eyes like the sun
Smiles like the shifting sands
You with the gift of command
[But] Always the time
To stop, look and then understand
[Spoken]
I’ll be waiting
On the other side
“I’ll be waiting for you”, he said
V2
[He said] “You with the stars in your eyes
Moving in darkness
Shadowed by lies
You are the stars in the skies
Stranger than fiction
Truer than words of the wise”
Bridge [Spoken]
We won’t always be here
The stars call out
Across the vacant space
A galaxy away
But we will always remember
And whisper to our children’s, children’s children
We were free
Keep it so
Chorus [3x]
And I’ll still think of you
V3
You with the key to the maze
[Not] Leaves on the wind
Blown by the changing days
You with the world at a gaze
Mysteries vanish
To re-light the Spirit of Play
Chorus [3x’s+]
And I’ll still think of you

IT’S ALL I WANT TO DO
Words and music by C. Jeffries [c. 1982, 2009]
V1
Many days of memories
Fill the time when I’m not with you
Fill my day with a fleeting glimpse of you
It’s all I want to do
V2
Lonely nights in far off places
Fill in the hours I’m feeling blue
Spend my time with the memories of you
It’s all I want to do
V3
Wishing star, I wish I might
Sing these thoughts I feel for you
To fill the world with the memory of you
It’s all I want to do
