Lyrics
I'll Still Be Here - words & music by G. Michael Peters
Waitin', waitin' for the storm to pass
And hopin', hopin' that this rain don't last
Some days it hurts to be near
But I've always loved you, so have no fear
When your walls come closin' in, I'll still be here
Standin', standin' on the sideline lookin' in
And wonderin', wonderin' how to help you back again
Oh, I know, this you isn't you
But together we'll make it through
When your walls come closin' in, I'll still be here
Oh, we all need a place to hide, when the darkness pulls us inside
Just take my hand, and I'll guide you home
You may feel lonely, but you're never alone
Smilin', smilin' at the girl I always knew
And laughin', laughin' like the way we used to do
Somehow we've learned to make it go
I'm yours forever, and always know
When your walls come closin' in, I'll still be here
When your walls come closin' in, I'll still be here
Have I Lived A Good Life - words & music by G. Michael Peters
All alone on a mountaintop looking down upon the clouds
Thought about what drove me here, pushed me high above the crowds
And I know that I once was an acrobat that couldn't fall
Thought I had life figured out, but now I'm questioning it all
My younger days are in the rear view, no longer driven to the chase
I wonder if I made a difference to anyone or any place
Have I lived a good life
Have I given more than taken
Ever left a friend forsaken in times of need
Did I love with all I could
Did I fight the fights worth fightin'
Right the wrongs that needed rightin'
Choose love over greed
Have I lived a good life
Have I lived a good life
Hope I've lived a good life, hope I've lessened someone's pain
Or helped them learn to fly, get back on their feet again
If I've lived a good life, I'll leave here with no regrets
Knowing that I've done my best with this one life we all get
My younger days are in the rear view, no longer driven to the chase
I wonder if I made a difference to anyone or any place
Have I lived a good life
Have I given more than taken
Ever left a friend forsaken in times of need
Did I love with all I could
Did I fight the fights worth fightin'
Right the wrongs that needed rightin'
Choose love over greed
Have I lived a good life
Have I lived a good life
Guess I've lived a good life, my memories sure are full
And I've had me lots of smiles and my heartstrings have been pulled
But I know that in the end we're all riding the same train
And the only question is, would we ride it over again
Have I lived a good life
Have I given more than taken
Ever left a friend forsaken in times of need
Did I love with all I could
Did I fight the fights worth fightin'
Right the wrongs that needed rightin'
Choose love over greed
Have I lived a good life, have I lived, have I lived
Have I lived a good life, have I lived, have I lived
Have a lived a good life, have I lived, have I lived
Have a lived a good life
Like You're Still Five - words & music by G. Michael Peters
There will come a day not so far from today
When you won't come runnin' to me
To tell me 'bout your day, in your breathless little way
The frog you caught under the pier
The mud you put in your sister's ear
Tacklin' every life's adventure without an ounce of fear
I know I have to let you be free to fly
And I'm not supposed to doubt or question why
But let me lift you off the ground this one last time
And hold you in my arms like you're still five
Let me smell the fresh air and the forest in your hair
Tell me all about your dirt
And the wonders you found under the stairs
So many things to see and do
Those fire-breathing dragons you slew
In the backyard before watching Winnie the Pooh
I know I have to let you be free to fly
And I'm not supposed to doubt or question why
But let me lift you off the ground this one last time
And hold you in my arms like you're still five
It's just your old Dad rambling but I hope that you can see
Every time I lift you off the ground you're really lifting me
You've grown so big and strong, it's what I hoped for all along
Young man on his own two feet
Trying not to do it wrong, to just belong
These Dad trials have been worthwhile
But what would really make me smile
Is let your old man lift you off the ground every once in a while
I know I have to let you be free to fly
And I'm not supposed to doubt or question why
But let me lift you off the ground this one last time
And hold you in my arms like you're still five
And hold you in my arms like you're still five
You Can Never Go Home Again - words & music by G. Michael Peters
I took my first steps there, first time they cut my hair
Learned to ride a bike so I could go anywhere
My parents kept me safe, but they let me get into my share
A high school love - a ring, she made my young heart sing
She was the first to open my eyes to grown-up things
Until I went off to school, in search of what else life might bring
I miss the ocean's smell, those streets I knew so well
Believe it or not, I even miss the rain
But they're just memories now, and though I might wonder how
I know you can never go home again
Oh, I still think of you, when I'm feeling blue
I remember every crazy thing we used to do
And I wonder sometimes, did any of your dreams ever come true
On that day I phoned, and left you all alone
Couldn't help myself, I was itchin' to roam
Ain't it funny how the mind works; we need to travel, but we long to be home
I miss the ocean's smell, those streets I knew so well
Believe it or not, I even miss the rain
But they're just memories now, and though I might wonder how
I know you can never go home again
Finally found my way home, walked those streets all alone
Lots of things had changed, but nothing had
And I realized that day, home's just a place in your heart
I miss the ocean's smell, those streets I knew so well
Believe it or not, I even miss the rain
But they're just memories now, and though I might wonder how
I know you can never go home again
Oh, I know you can never go home again
When The Bluenose Was Queen - Words by Michael Peters. Music by Michael Peters & Wayne Brown
We lost the Cup to those damn Yanks
Was November of nineteen twenty
Canada’s sailors took a blow that day
But our pride would not let it be
So we built us a two-masted schooner
The greatest salt banker of all
To fish for God’s cod off the Grand Banks
And to race the high seas come the Fall
Ten thousand square foot of sail she flew
On tall masts of Oregon pine
A half million cod pounds could be salted away
In her black hull with a thoroughbred’s line
Like a peacock she strutted with her sails out
The jewel of Nova Scotia’s fleet
With the dreams of a young land upon her
Mighty Bluenose was birthed to the sea-ee-ee
When the Bluenose was Queen of the Atlantic
The pride of Lunenberg
When the Bluenose was Queen, sailing frantic
Fastest schooner on this Earth
When the Bluenose was Queen
When the Bluenose was Queen
When the Bluenose was Queen
Caught a record that season on the Banks grounds
’Twas high time to prove what she could do
So Blue set to race ‘gainst those Gloucester boys
With Cap’n Angus and her crew of twenty-two
Flew o’er the waves like a bird of the sea
And for six years she bought home the prize
“She’s a witch, can’t be beat!”, the Americans cried
But Angus and her crew knew the skies
By the thirties the age of sail ended
Engines tore their cloths from the sky
Blue was sold south to haul bananas and rum
Angus watched her leave and he cried
In ’46 a squall broke off Haiti
Clipped a reef, it was Blue’s time to die
Close your eyes and On you'll see her off the South Shore
The Queen with her sails flying high-igh-igh
When the Bluenose was Queen of the Atlantic
The pride of Lunenberg
When the Bluenose was Queen, sailing frantic
Fastest schooner on this Earth
Repeat
When the Bluenose was Queen
When the Bluenose was Queen
When the Bluenose was Queen
