Our Love Will Last Denise D’Angelo Jones A love--- awakened from the past Gently to say, “Open your heart,” Whisper to me under the trees Under the stars that our love will last! A look of tenderness is cast From every gesture that you make Kisses of passion filled with beauty and romance Say, “Our love will last!” Lovers can open any doors to chase the loneliness away Give me the freedom to love you Heart to heart, I could be All you’ve longed for. . . . . . Two shadows silently embracing Lying together two as one Through all the madness and the mystery of chance Say, “Our love will last. “ Say, “Our love will last!” Copyright Sister Sound Productions, BMI All Rights Reserved Contact: ddjsongs@gmail.com

Floating On Cloud Nine Denise D’Angelo Jones Look at the bright blue skies As the rays of the sun reflect a new horizon in time I picture us walking through the sand Hand and hand by the ocean you and I The waves upon the shore Drift to the island a home away from home I recognize contentment in your eyes My holiday surprise, Oh. . . . . How I love to look into your eyes It’s you I’ve been waiting for all of my life The wind in your hair That smooth seductive stare Swept me off my feet Speechless and serene I’m drifting on waves once again Reality is not my friend I don’t want this feeling to end I’m floating on cloud nine Floating, floating on cloud nine Glow in the moonlight Listen while the palm trees sway To a symphony of sounds Feel the tropical breeze Caressing the trees While we dance and hold each other close Whisper in my ear, sweet little nothings Then take me to another place and time By your touch Or could it be the wine? I don’t know, I’ll fall for every line (Chorus) Copyright Sister Sound Produc<ons, BMI All Rights Reserved Contact: ddjsongs@gmail.com Denise D’Angelo Jones

My Friend Peg Denise D’Angelo Jones Look over there, sitting at the table Holding her husband’s hand She’s in the know, of everybody’s secrets That’s my friend Peg And when I’m feeling kind of funky and low She helps me, let go Simply by letting me know, she’s there She’s my friend Peg, My friend Peg Back at the Web, a boarding house in Chelsea That’s where we met Single and broke, we took on Manhattan Barely making the rent Armored with headshots, and resumes We were star-struck on Broadway Standing room and center stage Were such a high, way back then With my friend Peg Memories remain, of temp jobs and heart throbs But those dues have been paid Finishing school, and moving to Manhattan A doctor, I became The elevator bell loudly rang It was there with a twist of fate Standing in a trench coat, And clutching a leather brief case, in her hand Stood my friend Peg! Look over there, sipping wine and waving That’s my friend Peg She’s in the know, of much investigation We can’t comprehend But when I’m feeling kind of funky and low She helps me let go Simply by letting me know, she cares She’s my friend Peg She’s my friend Peg She’s my friend Peg Copyright Sister Sound Productions, BMI All Rights Reserved Contact: ddjsongs@gmail.com

Old Ira 04:51
Old Ira Denise D’Angelo Jones Old Ira, what are you gonna do now? You don’t get around as good as you used to All your friends have let you down. No one’s there when you’re wearing a frown Old Ira, where are you gonna go now? Now that Sara’s gone, and the time has come To face up and caring on Yesterday can no longer be found On your own wearing the world upon your shoulders Sara’s calling you back to another day Try to find your way—hey. . . . . . . . Old Ira, you sit on your porch and wait And watch the street so eagerly For the visits that never take place The sun goes down and the moon leaves no trace Old Ira, I’d like to help you along, But your grief is aimed at the window- pane Where you--- sit and you stare for so long No one said that you had to be strong.

I’d Rather Be Denise D’Angelo Jones I’d rather be tossed by a tornado Stranded out at sea Hand-cuffed to an alligator, stung by a bee Breaking a nail, losing a shoe I’d rather be, I’d rather be anywhere Than to be with you.. … I’d rather be eaten by a lion, trampled by a horse Living with an in-law, leveled by a force Cleaning out the cat box, at the local zoo I’d rather be, I’d rather be anywhere Than to be with you! To be with you, said you adored me But you just ignored me The truth is that you bored me With all your women everywhere I can smell their perfume in your hair I’d rather be swimming in a snake pit Falling from the sky Having all my teeth pulled, losing my mind Starting my taxes, after they are due I’d rather be, I’d rather be anywhere Than to be with you! I’d rather be, having a contraction Changing a flat Going to Alaska in the winter with no hat Lost without directions, chased by Caribou I’d rather be, I’d rather be anywhere Than to be with you!! I’d rather be spilling coffee on my chair, Hacking from polluted air, Stuck on stand-by at O’Hare Than to be with you!!!!!!! I’d rather be in a taxi with no fare, Cornered by a hungry bear Caught with curlers in my hair, Than to be with you!!!!

Has Anybody Seen? Denise D’Angelo Jones Has anybody seen my favorite magazine? Where I left it, I don’t know Is it sitting by the phone? Or tucked behind the throne? Or getting squished beneath the neighbor’s cat, Max? Has anybody seen my polka-dotted green Drugstore reading glasses? I fell asleep in bed, with cat-eyes on my head Tomorrow we may find them Helping Charlotte, spin her web! Has anybody seen, my cellphone and my keys? Dangling from the hook-- I leave them there each day, That’s where they need to stay I wonder now if Aliens have carted them away? Oh please, find my glasses! Please find my keys! Release my cellphone from Mars, With articles and recipes, from my favorite magazine Has anybody seen? Has anybody seen, my nicely fitted jeans? Where I left them, I don’t know I used to be so thin, now wear a double chin Everything that journey’s north Must travel south again! Has anybody seen, my boundless energy? Where I left it, I don’t know I’m eating steak and yams, To balance out my glands Rationing the coffee, While I’m shaving like a man!!! Oh please, find my glasses! Please find my keys! Release my cellphone from Mars, With articles and recipes, from my favorite magazine Has anybody seen? Copyright Sister Sound Productions, BMI All Rights Reserved Contact: ddjsongs@gmail.com
