PREFACE

It all started back in 2001 while I was bored out of my mind waiting for the laundry cycle to come to an end…  To pass my time I started to hum a tune in my head.  And then all of a sudden I burst into song, and began to sing the words to that tune.  To make sure the words that came out of my head didn’t vanish into thin air once I was done singing, I decided to take pen and paper and write down everything that escaped from my head.  Once I was done, I had ended up writing a whole song.  The melody and the words were stuck in my head and I just couldn’t stop singing them; even today it still holds true. 

From that point on I was so hooked on lyric writing that I haven’t stopped bringing lyrics to life.  It has become my obsessive passion, and I just cannot live without it.  It is the medicine of my life, and is my escape from everyday life –whether good or bad– that comes to haunt me.  And it is also a creative way of capturing the things that I go through in life, including all that never-ending emotion.  To this day I’ve written 343 lyrics, and am not planning to stop anytime soon…

So with that said, I am proud to present to you Soundtrack of My Life: Volume 2, the second book of lyrics part of a two volume series that is written from the heart and with lots of passion.  It features seven lyrical sets that I’ve brought to life starting with a batch of lyrics written in 2004 (not featured in the first volume) and ending with those written in 2008.  The collection of lyrics is extensive and diverse so there is something for everyone to enjoy.  Most if not all of these lyrics will be very emotional, and will contain bits of me and my life.  Once you begin browsing through the lyrics you will find yourself relating to the content in some way, even if it is minor.  And on top of that, you’ll be left connected, affected, touched, melted, and hungry for more…  I dream of these lyrics to be recorded into hit songs someday, but for the time being, read on, enjoy, and sing along to my creative passion that is the soundtrack of my life…

Curious Cat

(August 17, 2007)

There I was checking you out

Didn’t know what you were about

Oh I’m a curious cat

Yeah eah

Yeah eah

Thought that you were the perfect guy

Thought you could be in my arms tonight

Oh I’d really like that

Hey yeah

Hey yeah

I got a plan

You’re gonna be my man

Any way I can

I’m gonna make sure that you are my man

I had an eye on you from the start

Didn’t you hear the beat of my heart

Oh boy you made it quake

Yeah eah

Yeah eah

And I’ve been sending you major signs

I wanted you right here with me tonight

Oh boy I need a shake

Hey yeah

Hey yeah

I got a plan

You’re gonna be my man

Any way I can

I’m gonna make sure that you are my man

You make me sweat buckets

You make me shiver inside

You’ve made holes in my pockets

You’ve taken me for a ride

It’s obvious that

I’m a curious cat

And I found my catch

You'll be easy to snatch

I got a plan

You’re gonna be my man

Any way I can

I’m gonna make sure that you are my man

Drowning

(August 30, 2007)

Here I stand

Inside the bathroom door

My head is hanging down

Eyes staring at the floor

And I’m thinking ‘bout

How to turn my life around

Cause I’m breaking down inside

Without you

I’ll only be drowning

Without you

I’ll be wasting away

So please come back and save me

From the wreck of the day

Here I stand

Staring out the window

In hopes to find an answer

To cure my heart somehow

It seems I’ll never find

How to make my life unwind

Cause you’re no longer here with me

Without you

I’ll only be drowning

Without you

I’ll be wasting away

So please come back and save me

From the wreck of the day

You came and saved me

Saved me from drowning

In my emotions baby oooh

But then you went away

My world came crashing down

And here I am now

Drowning and wasting away

Without you

I’ll only be drowning

Without you

I’ll be wasting away

So please come back and save me

From the wreck of the day

Can’t Say Good-Bye

(September 19, 2007)

Falling for you was the best thing for me at the time

I never thought that one day you'll no longer be mine

Everything seemed to be falling right into its place

And I felt no longer alone with a smile on my face

But that quickly changed for me

When you said we cannot be

Together

Forever

You've got to move on

Whatever we had is gone

I know that I’ve got to move on

Face the fact that what we had is gone

But I can’t cause the feelings are strong

Even now as I’m writing this song

I should fall out of love with you

But that’s something I cannot do

And no matter how hard I try

I just cannot say good-bye

To you

You came to me out of the blue and you swept me away

I felt unbelievable things since I met you that day

And for the first time I experienced a love that was real

And I let you know of the way you were making me feel

But I guess that wasn't enough

That with you I've fallen in love

Together

Forever

We will never be

Cause you’re history

I know that I’ve got to move on

Face the fact that what we had is gone

But I can’t cause the feelings are strong

Even now as I’m writing this song

I should fall out of love with you

But that’s something I cannot do

And no matter how hard I try

I just cannot say good-bye

To you

Why did you leave me in the dust

Why did you choose somebody else

Why did you cause my heart to burn

And left me here alone and torn

Why didn’t you care about the love

I had for you right from the start

Thought you were different and the one

Only to learn you’re just like them

But no matter what I do

Can’t fall out of love with you

Together

Forever

We’ll be in my heart

Though you tore us apart

I know that I’ve got to move on

Face the fact that what we had is gone

But I can’t cause the feelings are strong

Even now as I’m writing this song

I should fall out of love with you

But that’s something I cannot do

And no matter how hard I try

I just cannot say good-bye

To you

Drifting Away

(October 12, 2007)

You told me you want to get closer

But you’re only drifting away

And I cannot keep my composure

Cause I need you here today

So why did you tell me this lie

Were you really saying good-bye

Is this how it’s going to end

Have I lost a wonderful friend

You told me you’d always be here

But that is no longer the case

And I can’t stop shedding these tears

The sorrow has clouded my face

So why did you tell me this lie

Were you really saying good-bye

Is this how it’s going to end

Have I lost a wonderful friend

I miss you like crazy

And I’m feeling empty

I want you beside me

So please come back to me

Don’t break
