1.	Shangri La 06:19	lyrics	buy track
Mommy and Daddy and baby make three Growing together on belly and knee So much around oh to touch and to see A perfect trio born from love's harmony Then comes a new child, a boy for the band The harmony grows together in hand Pack and go from the city, head out to the island Build a home full of love, then go play in the sand Go see some sights together And make some memories Then hang the pictures on the wall Then comes a new girl, makes a party of five They're happy together, just being alive Big sister and brother share their love in their eyes For the new baby girl, who's just starting to rise Drive up the New York Thruway Head for the Catskill Mountains You know we all have come so far Stay with the family angels And plant some seeds to grow All together at Shangri La A new girl is born, from joy and from care The warmth of the sun, the love in the air Together they grow, they learn and they share All coming together from one loving pair Mommy and Daddy worked so very hard Built a home full of love with flowers in the yard The neighborhood joins them, together they guard Hold it down in Levittown and give thanks to God Go see some sights together And make some memories Then hang your pictures on the wall Oh and hold it down in Levittown Hold it down in Levittown Hold it down in Levittown, YEAH
2.	The Buzz 04:20	lyrics	buy track
I could be chilly from the winter or all sweaty from the heat But my head's as cool as a pond in summer where you dangle in your feet I might be sleepless for a lifetime or all tucked in nice and neat When I think about you baby, you make me feel so sweet I could be stranded on the highway in the deep black dark of night Or alone among some strangers who just seem to offer fright It doesn't seem to bother me if you are in my sight All that lovin' that you give me, well it makes me feel all right The strike of lightening just hit me Temptation just bit me Oh Oh I got the Buzz It's like the surge from an outlet I can't seem to avoid it Oh No I got the Buzz OOh yeah, All right, Uhuh I could be overcome by pain and sorrow or feeling so alone But just one little thought of you and my mood begins to turn I think about your lovin'; my heart begins to burn Then I think of all you taught me and how much more i want to learn Teach me, Professor Love The strike of lightening just hit me Temptation just bit me Oh Oh I got the Buzz It's like the surge from an outlet I can't seem to avoid it Oh No I got the Buzz Ohh yeah, All right And it feel so good
3.	Morning Sun 04:41	lyrics	buy track
Well I don’t know how I make it through the day It gets so black sometimes I can’t see through the haze But I know that there’s a bright sun just for me A sight so right it helps to set me free It’s so hard to feel it all the time To wait it out just for a little shine And I know if I can make it through the night The morning sun will make me feel all right Sometimes it rains so hard I get so worn I’m so washed out I can’t make it through the storm But I know the sun will be coming out real soon To make up for all those times I’m feeling blue It’s so hard to feel it all the time To wait it out just for a little shine And I know if I can make it through the night The morning sun will make me feel all right I used to laugh at the drop of a dime I was spreading all my sunshine all the time Well sometimes it’s just hard to get enough To hold me over when the times are rough It’s so hard to feel it all the time To wait it out just for a little shine And I know if I can make it through the night The morning sun will make me feel all right Well I’ve got so many reasons to break through Thank God I’m healthy, I’m loved, and that’s the truth So the next time it’s hard to get through the night I’m gonna try even harder to see the light Well it’s so hard to feel it all the time To wait it out just for a little shine But I know if I can make it through the night The morning sun will make me feel all right

5.	Happy Love Song 04:34	lyrics	buy track
This could be a happy love song. But it's not It could be a way to free my mind. But it's not It could be that i'm lonely. But it's not I could have had my one and only. But it's not It could be birds a singing on a sunny afternoon Or stars that shine through darkness and twinkle with the moon But it's not It might be I'm better on my own. But it's not It may be just fine being alone. But it's not It might be I won't find the one. But it's not It may be my lovin' days are done. But it's not It could be birds a singing on a sunny afternoon Or stars that shine through darkness and twinkle with the moon A lullaby to ease my mind just like you used to do But it's not I can quiet the chatter in my head. But you're not I can just stop, and take a breath instead. But you're not I can honor all my selves as one. But you're not I'm livin' and lovin' til my days are done. But you're not It could be birds a singing on a sunny afternoon Or stars that shine through darkness and twinkle with the moon A lullaby to ease my mind just like you used to do Another day or evening that I'm spending without you But it's not
6.	Hey Darlin' 04:20	lyrics	buy track
Hey Darlin' I'm reaching out to you, I'm trying to get through, Hey Darlin' I wonder how you are, you bright and shining star, Hey Darlin' How can I say it, so you can hear it? How can I play it, so you can feel it? Hey Darlin' I wanna let you know, you reap the seeds you sow, Hey Darlin' So just find the love in you, and everything you do, Hey Darlin' I've seen you struggle and I just wanna hold you, I just wanna love you, and make you feel better. I wanna help you feel better. Hey Darlin' No matter what they say, it's you at the end of the day, Hey Darlin' It's you and you alone, who must stand up and atone, Hey Darlin' How can I say it, so you can hear it? How can I play it, so you can feel it? Hey Darlin', I'll be there for you. Hey Darlin', I'm right here for you
7.	Get Over It 04:09	lyrics	buy track
I've been taking time to feel all right, cuz i know how it goes It's up and down and all around, where time goes no one knows Maybe it's time to go outside and just kick off my shoes I'll dance away the afternoon, go on and shake my blues Oh Oh Oho I gotta get over it Ah Ah Oh Oho I gotta get over it I can't seem to shake or even crawl, I don't seem to move I know if I can just feel a bit I would find the groove It seems my world went upside down when I felt that big earthquake And now it's time to let it go, there's something I must shake Oh Oh Oho I gotta get over it Ah Ah Oh Oho I gotta get over it I've been down too long for me to take, I want to get somewhere I'll get up. I'll get out. I'll do anything, but I won't go back there There's nothing wrong with thinking about all the places I have been But now it's time to let it go and let my life begin Oh Oh Oho I gotta get over it Ah Ah Oh Oho I gotta get over it

about

I dedicate this CD to My Parents, Barbara & Edward Parent.
I thank all my Family and Friends who repeatedly stand by me, and those who have added so much color and joy to my life along the way.
I thank Dan Gerken for his positivity, for his masterful performances on all the songs, for his exceptional engineering skills, and for bringing these songs to life so beautifully.
I thank The Deadbeats NY (Mike Johnson, Brian Miller, Dan Gerken & Brian Mangini and all my brothers who have come and gone along the way) for playing Morning Sun, The Buzz and Get Over It for many years.
I thank Mike Johnson for playing guitar alongside me in The Deadbeats Duo, and for being my constant and most talented brother in music in The Deadbeats for almost thirty years.
I thank my sister, Diane, for giving me my first guitar at age six, and for teaching me how to play it.
I thank my brother, David, for buying me my first drum for Christmas, and for having me play guitar duo shows at his cafe.
I thank my sister, Donna, for being a kindred spirit in the creative arts and for understanding the passion and sacrifice it takes to follow your dreams.
I thank Debbie for comfort and clarity, and for helping to create the clearing that led to the inspiration.
I thank my Parents, The Parents, for being my biggest fans, for putting me in talent shows at a young age, for buying me my first drum set and for their unconditional love, encouragement and support.
I thank those who came before me and who blazed the trail for me. I thank my musical mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters for inspiring me to create and to sing and play my heart out. I thank every artist and thinker who ever made me think twice about something, and who opened my mind and my heart.
I thank God for the ability to sing and play music, and for every day I am alive.
