FALLING
Copyright 2019 Ron Brunk
I am falling, falling down
Into your arms, they’re all around me
I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid to fall
With every mountain I climb, every breath I take
Every shining glory or sad mistake
Still I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid to fall
With every broken-hearted dream
And all the dark nights I have seen
I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid to fall
When I soar through the clouds and the rushing wind
When the rains come hard and cold on my skin
You’re the shelter I been searching for
With a warm fire and an open door
I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid to fall
With every broken-hearted dream
And all the dark nights I have seen
Still I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid to fall
I don’t know how this all will end…
But you’ll catch my fall again and again….
On this journey, I promise you
I would cast myself off the edge for you
Cause I’m not afraid…I’m not afraid to fall
I am falling, falling down
Into your arms, now safe and sound
I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid to fall

SEVENTEEN
Copyright 2020 Ron Brunk
There are seventeen sides to every story
All of the things that I thought I could be
Limitless visions of grandeur and glory…for me
There are seventeen verses I read in my chapter
Seventeen chapters in my Bible I see
No one believes in the glories hereafter…for me
All my riches by and by
Cannot save me when I die
Love is my savior tonight
All my riches by and by
Will not save me when I die
Love is my savior tonight
There are seventeen fools who sit in their folly
Peering into the depths of the sea
Bearing their burden now so melancholy…for me
There are seventeen lovers who stare in the darkness
Scars on their souls that no other can see
Throwing themselves at the feet of the heartless…for me
All my riches by and by
Cannot save me when I die
Love is my savior tonight
All my riches by and by
Cannot save me when I die
Love is my savior tonight
Love is my savior tonight
Love is my savior….

JUST LIKE YOU
Copyright 2018 Ron Brunk
I had a crush on a girl I saw
On a carton of cigarettes
She stood tall like a wrecking ball
A stiletto silhouette
We were Armageddon peas in a pod
Two-toned battered and fried
With a pickup truck in the bomb shelter
Hey let’s go for a ride
I need love and I need you
To make some sense of the things I do
Call me strange, if you want to
But I am just like you…I am just like you…
I am just like you
If you can read my mind you might want out
Before it gets too late
I’m a dinosaur on a meteor
Heading for the Pearly Gates
Don’t put me up on a pedestal
Don’t drag me down too low
I don’t claim to have a clue
But I think that I think that I know
Yeah, I think that I think that I know
I need love and I need you
To make some sense of the things I do
Call me strange, if you want to
But I am just like you…I am just like you…
I am just like you

NOTHING MORE THAN EVERYTHING
Copyright 1998 Ron Brunk
Just like twilight in the morning
Like evening all day long
It wanders without warning
But it serves to make you strong
Cuz you’re nothing more than everything
You’re nothing more than everything
You’re nothing more than everything to me
You’re completely lost or found
Like trinkets in the rain
Go spinning up and down
Take pleasure in the pain
Cuz you’re nothing more than everything
You’re nothing more than everything
You’re nothing more than everything to me
You’re nothing more than everything to me
You’re nothing more than everything
You’re half empty, you’re half full
When your back’s against the wall
Climb the valley down the mountain
I’ll catch ya if you fall [OR: I still can hear ya call]
Cuz you’re nothing more than everything
You’re nothing more than everything
You’re nothing more than everything
You’re nothing more than everything to me
You’re nothing more than everything to me
You’re nothing more than everything to me
You’re nothing more than everything

I SAID I MIGHT
Copyright 2018 Ron Brunk
Met her in the valley when she asked me down
The mountain shook but I stood my ground
Truth be told I was high as a kite
She said love me and I said I might
She said love me and I said I might
Felt like spring when I took the fall
She was Ivy League with a southern drawl
Down in Oxford town on a Friday night
She said love me and I said I might
She said love me and I said I might
Lift me up….I want to see you
Lift me up….I want to be with you
Close your eyes and hold on tight
She said love me and I said I might
She said love me and I said I might
She said love me and I said I might
The rockets wore the red glare blues
Like a rick man walking in a beggar’s shoes
World is ending but the future’s bright
She said love me and I said I might
She said love me and I said I might
She said love me and I said…..alright…

LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING
Copyright 2019 Ron Brunk
Every time I think about giving up
Someone shows me a little more love
Every time I think I’ve lost my way
Someone brightens up my darkest day
With a little bit of love----love-----
Love changes everything
Just a little bit of love----love-----
Love changes everything
Sometimes when it rains I forget
Just how good it feels to get soaking wet
Got to take the bad times when they come
Every drop of rain is a shining sun
With a little bit of love----love-----
Love changes everything
Just a little bit of love----love-----
Love changes everything
We’re gonna go higher------
We’re gonna go higher------
Love changes-----love changes-----
Love changes everything-------------------
Every time I think about giving up
Someone shows me a little more love
Every time I think I’ve lost my way
Someone brightens up my darkest day
With a little bit of love----love-----
Love changes everything
Just a little bit of love----love-----
Love changes everything
Love changes everything

THIS LOVE OF MINE
Copyright 2020 Ron Brunk
When the lights go down in the evening time
When the sun and the moon trade places to shine
if they could part the sea or turn back time
That wouldn’t change this love of mine
When this old world turns upside down
And your mind is dizzy and spinning around
Just plant your feet on the solid ground
Firmly on this love of mine
This love of mine will never change
It’s tried and true and it will remain
Even if all the world goes
Off chasing rainbows
This love of mine will still remain
When the storms of life are taking their toll
And you’re feeling lonely and out of control
Don’t be afraid because I’ll be there for you
This love of mine will still be true
This love of mine will never change
It’s tried and true and it will remain
Even if all the world goes
Off chasing rainbows
This love of mine will still remain
This love of mine will never change
It’s tried and true and it will remain
Even if all the world goes
Off chasing rainbows
This love of mine will still remain
Even if all the world goes
Off chasing rainbows
This love of mine will still remain

BITTERLY HOPEFUL
Copyright 2018 Ron Brunk
I’ve got the nicotine juice
I’ve got the freak flag fly
I’ve got my neck in the noose
Goose egg dry
I’m bitterly hopeful today
That I’m gonna find my way
I’m praying to God that tomorrow
Will be better by far than today
I was a brain scientist
Peering at night through the mist
Till love in the synaptic dark
Broke my heart
I’m bitterly hopeful today
That I’m gonna find my way
I’m praying to God that tomorrow
Will be better by far than today
I feel a change in the air
Power growing in my hair
A new destination I’ll find
Somewhere in my mind
I’m bitterly hopeful today
That I’m gonna find my way
I’m praying to God that tomorrow
Will be better by far than today
I’m bitterly hopeful today
That I’m gonna find my way
I’m praying to God that tomorrow
Will be better by far than today

BITTERSWEET
Copyright 2010 Ron Brunk
We’re all rushing down a dead end street
We’ve got blisters on our hands and feet
Our love stories are incomplete
And even the fine wine is bittersweet
We’ve all been caught in that head light glare
Afraid to move and afraid to care
There’s no mercy when it’s indiscreet
And even the good times are bittersweet
The world’s gone crazy and who’s to blame?
I feel like a fool when I call your name
I wrap my sorrows in this old bed sheet
And even the memory is bittersweet
It’s just one day coming after another
We sit and stare at each other
How in the world you knock me off my feet?
Even the question is bittersweet
The world’s gone crazy and who’s to blame?
I feel like a fool when I call your name
I wrap my sorrows in this old bed sheet
And even the memory is bittersweet
We’re all rushing down a dead end street
We’ve got blisters on our hands and feet
Our love stories are incomplete
And even the fine wine is bittersweet

SARA AND RICK
Ron Brunk Copyright 2017
The tornado came
And Sara tried to blame
Almost everything
On her boyfriend
Rick was his name
And it was a shame
His daddy never came
Around to see him
Every day he sang this little song
The perfect antidote when things go wrong
Sara fell for Jim
And she married him
Because he liked to trim
His moustache all day
So Rick hopped a train
In the acid rain
With nothing on his brain
But validation
Every day he sang this little song
The perfect antidote when things go wrong
Sara had a kid
Then she flipped her lid
Because everything she did
Seemed to be wrong now
Rick got a job
Up on Piney Knob
With his new friend Bob
Cutting trees down
Every day they sang this little song
It’s the best thing you can do when the days are long
Yes, every day they sang this little song
The perfect antidote when things go wrong
Wife-beater Jim
Ran away with Kim
The chances were slim
He was ever coming back
Sara found her groove
Knew it would behoove
To pack her things and move
Up to Piney Knob
Every day she sang this little song
It’s the best thing you can do when the days are long
Yes, every day they sang this little song
The perfect antidote when things go wrong

SITTING BY THE FIRE WITH YOU
Ron Brunk Copyright 2019
Snow and ice are twice as nice
When I’m sitting by the fire with you
Cold is cool but I’m no fool
I’d rather sit by the fire with you
Sitting by the fire with you
Underneath a blanket or two
Snuggling up
Sipping from a cup
Of something tasty………..
Sitting by the fire
Sitting by the fire with you
I love the winter weather with the two of us together
Sitting by the fire with you
I’ve got a shovel but that’s so much trouble
I’d rather sit by the fire with you
Let the blizzard blow…we won’t even know
Sitting by the fire with you
Rain or shine….yeah, I’ll be fine
Sitting by the fire with you

HEAD OVER HEELS
Ron Brunk Copyright 2014
It’s hard to find the words to describe how you’re feelin’
When you’re head over heels and your heart goes reelin’
You’re dancing in the rain and soakin’ up the sun
The weather doesn’t matter cuz you know that he’s the one----
You’re light on your feet and the world looks sweet
Cuz your heart is ready for true love confetti
Fireworks flashing, tidal wave crashing
You’re jumpin’ for joy cuz you’re lovin’ that boy-----
Head over heels…that’s how it feels
When you’re falling in love
And it’s real and ya know that ya can’t get enough
That’s how it feels…head over heels
Rainbows and butterflies fillin’ up the blue skies
Your heart does a cartwheel thinkin’ ‘bout the way ya feel
Birds are singing, church bells ringing
It may sound a little silly but ya can’t stop smiling-----
CHORUS
And just when ya think ya got it under control
The earth will shake and the sky will roll
Like a pinball bouncing across the stars
Like a roller coaster ride from Venus to Mars
You will find yourself-------- flying-----------------
CHORUS
That’s how it feels…head over heels
That’s how it feels…head over heels

SERIOUS
Copyright 2018 Ron Brunk
If my door was open
Would you walk right through?
If my door was locked
Would you break it in two?
If my window was cracked
Would you slide it on up?
And drink long and deep
From my bedside cup?
I need to know if you’re serious
Or just curious about me
Tell me, are you deliriously
Seriously mad about me?
If my wallet was empty
Would you walk away?
If my cards were maxed out
What would you say?
If my state of mind
Was a mixed metaphor
Would you literally slam
The proverbial door?
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL

GOOD MORNING
Copyright 2020 Ron Brunk
Good morning, good morning,
Good morning to you
The sun’s coming up
And the day is brand new
So take all your sorrows
And throw them away
Make it a beautiful day
Good morning, good morning,
Good morning to all
We’re laughing and loving
And having a ball
The night was cold
And the clouds were gray
But now it’s a beautiful day
This is a beautiful day
INTERLUDE: Come on and dance……with me
Dance…….with me…….
Dance………….with me…..
Good morning, good morning,
Good morning, my dear
The world’s far away
Whenever you’re near
No matter what happens
We’ll find a way
To make it a beautiful day
This is a beautiful day
