A broad range of genres and production values - from studio work to raw live performances on acoustic instruments back in the days of killer tape hiss. (All were produced as song demos vs artist demos.) IF YOU'RE A LYRIC FAN, click on the "full" or "full song info" line and play the songs from there. That way you can read the lyrics at the bottom of the page as the song plays. I am guilty of all the words, music, arrangements, production, and male vocals. Fortunately, for both you AND me, friends handled the female vocals. (Thanks Leanne, Bodra, Dianne, & Roxanne!) See ya out there!

Lyrics

DON'T YOU DARE LET GO

She was the one who broke my heart
But I am the fool who walked away
On that day, so long ago
She wasn't proud of what she'd done
But I was too weak for honesty
On that day, so long ago
We had the kind of love that ages like fine wine
If you have a love like that then fight to hold the line
Don't let go, oh no, son
Don't you dare let go

They had been married five good years
And weathered every single storm
Sent their way, 'til that day
Standing angry toe-to-toe
Hurtful words and wounded pride
In their way, on that day
Never thinking in that moment love could die
Feeling nothing when you touch so you decide
To let go, I know how you feel yourself let go

They had forgotten I was there
So I spoke a gentle word
To my son, on that day
He turned with anger in his eyes
But I knew the deepest fear inside
Of my son, on that day
He let me lead him from the room so she could cry
And I knew the time had come to tell him of the time
I let go, oh ohhh, how I just let go

I said, she was the one who broke my heart
But I am the fool who walked away
On that day, so long ago
She wasn't proud of what she'd done
But your mother never tried to hide
What'd gone on, and on that day
She took a chance that I was worthy of her love
If you have a woman who would offer you as much
Don't let go, oh no, son, don't you dare let go
