Love Can Be A Crime © 2016 Jeff Zuber I could open up and let you in But you might hurt me just the same I’ve got to decide if I want to take that chance But I don’t know if I could stand the pain Love can be a blessing Love can be a crime I’m so afraid of guessing what You will do with mine And I don’t want to be hurt this time You say you want to have and hold me But I’ve heard that line once or twice before And I guess what really frightens me is what you will say When you walk right out my door Don’t you get me wrong I need loving too But I want you know I need the kind that lasts So if I open up my heart to you Please take your time Don’t you come and go too fast Love can be a blessing Love can be a crime I’m so afraid of guessing what You will do with mine And I don’t want to be hurt this time No I don’t want to be hurt this time No I won’t let you hurt me this time

Tomorrow When I Am Gone © 2016 Jeff Zuber Well I thought that I was ready To take the time to settle down To buy a nice white house with a picket fence In a quiet part of town But there’s something deep inside me Makes me question these things I do Something inside me askin’ Is this fair to me or you Don’t you misunderstand my meaning It’s not that I don’t care for you It’s just that all my love Those are pretty big words And I don’t know if I can make them true And I hate like hell to hurt you But this would cause you more pain later on So baby please remember just our good times Tomorrow when I am gone Well I take a look around me And my life it’s not so bad But I find that I’m still wishin’ For that freedom that I had And there is no other woman Weighin’ heavy upon my mind It’s just that I love chasing rainbows Never knowing what I’ll find Well now dry your eyes you know I hate to see you cry It’s harder if you fuss and carry on You’re young you’re pretty with your whole life ahead And I know you’ll get along And I hate like hell to hurt you But this would cause you more pain later on So baby please remember just our good times Tomorrow when I am gone And I hate like hell to hurt you But this would cause you more pain later on So baby please remember just our good times Tomorrow when I am gone

Hell To Be Alone © 2016 Jeff Zuber He’s a man that’s got some money And he makes you feel important honey But don’t you know that he’s lovin’ you on the sly He’ll meet you at some cheap hotel And you’ll still be by yourself When he gets up to say goodbye Tell me that you’re feelin’ good Tell me that you wish you could Tell me that it’s hell to be alone Tell me that it’s hell to be alone You can talk about the life you’ll have together But it’s talk about forever that always leaves him cold You can dream about your love that’s endin’ never That’s not a good dream growin’ better It’s just a sad dream growin’ old You look into those lovin’ eyes And listen to his tender lies And you know that you wish that they were true You know you don’t play kiss and tell That’s why this romance works so well But when it’s over honey where does that leave you You can talk about the life you’ll have together But it’s talk about forever that always leaves him cold You can dream about your love that’s endin’ never That’s not a good dream growin’ better It’s just a sad dream growin’ old Tell me that you’re feelin’ good Tell me that you wish you could Tell me that it’s hell to be alone Tell me that it’s hell to be alone

Just Beyond My Reach © 2016 Jeff Zuber On a rainy night in Georgia Somewhere among my years Like the hot dark sky above us She was pouring out her tears And she seemed so very lonely But she was not alone And I held her for a moment And in a moment she was gone She’s just beyond my reach Oh but I have touched her Yeah she’s just beyond my reach And yet she’s always there She’s just beyond my reach When I really need her And I can breathe her In my air All the things I never told her Things my heart alone could say And how I’ve wished that I could hold her And how I watched her slip away And I know she fears the darkness So I hope she finds her light And the part of her still with me Comforts me tonight And she’s just beyond my reach Ah but I have touched her She’s just beyond my reach And yet she’s always there She’s just beyond my reach When I really need her And I can breathe her In my air

Show Me ©2016 Jeff Zuber We’ve been here for so many years So many words, so many tears Sometimes I think I’ve heard them all I long to be close to you, But I don’t know what more to do And I’m so ready to take love’s fall Where’s the truth in I love you? Where’s my lover and my friend? If it don’t lead us to touchin’, it don’t count for much then Show me Leave your pride behind, take my side and show me Don’t talk to me, don’t cry for me, just come to me and make love to me, The only way you’ll know me, the only way you’ll hold me, Is to show me Maybe we can still be together, But words are cheap and can’t buy forever And I’m so ready to take love’s fall We’ve been here for so many years So many words, so many tears Sometimes I’m sure I’ve cried them all Where’s the truth in I love you? Where’s my lover and my friend? If it don’t lead us to touchin’, then it don’t count for much then Show me Leave your pride behind, take my side and show me Don’t talk to me, don’t cry for me, just come to me and make love to me, The only way you’ll know me, the only way you’ll hold me, Is to... Show me Leave your pride behind, take my side and show me Don’t talk to me, don’t cry for me, just come to me and make love to me, The only way you’ll know me, the only way you’ll hold me, Is to show me It's time to show me Baby you’ve got to show me

Didn’t Kiss Me Back © 2016 Jeff Zuber There was a time I needed you and I know you needed me I could see the caring in your soulful eyes and they would not set me free And your kiss would bring my heart to life you could make me feel complete And when I held you you would tremble as you listened to it beat I’ve been thrown in raging waters I’ve been cast upon the rocks I miss our time together and how you touched me when we talked I knew that we were ended was a cold and painful fact When the last time that I kissed you girl You didn’t kiss me back Passion is a hurtful thing when it has no right to be But we were both so caught up in it it was all that we could see And I know you truly loved me Or else why would you tell me so Still you killed a little part of me the night you let me go And I’ve been thrown in raging waters I’ve been cast upon the rocks I miss our time together and how you touched me when we talked And I knew that we were ended was a cold and painful fact When the last time that I kissed you girl You didn’t kiss me back No you didn’t kiss me back I know you never planned it so I hope this doesn’t sound too cruel But I don’t think I could stand it if you weren’t hurtin’ too We’ll pretend there are no feelings as we try to be just friends But the cruelest joke on both of us is that true love doesn’t end And we’ve been thrown in raging waters We’ve been cast upon the rocks We miss our time together and the touching when we talked And I knew that we were ended was a cold and painful fact When the last time that I kissed you girl You didn't kiss me back

All I’ve Got to Say About That ©2016 Jeff Zuber It was Saturday night and the bar was ragin’ I was doin’ my best to dance a little Cajun And a brown eyed girl was tossin’ some tequila back So I sat down as a matter of fact She ordered me up a water and Jack And that’s all I’ve got to say about that We closed that joint at a quarter to three She took a little walk with me And I thought I might get To tickle her fancy We backed her truck just out of sight We thought we was hidden in the dark of the night And that’s all I’ve got to say about that Those brown eyed girls with their pretty brown curls Will lead you down the road to ruin Long before you know what you’re doing She slipped off her jeans and called me Hun We was just about to have some fun Then oh my lord, that’s when it happened There was a tap on the window, there stood Johnny Law Grinnin’ ear to ear from what he just saw And he said folks, I think your plan has a flaw You’d best move it on down the trail, or you’ll be spendin’ the night in jail And that’s all I’ve got to say about that Yes, that’s all he had to say about that Those brown eyed girls with their pretty brown curls Will lead you down the road to ruin Long before you know what you’re doing And that’s all I’ve got to say about that Yes, that’s all he had to say about that That’s all there is to say about that That’s all I’ve got to say
