It Can't Be love
Lyrics, Vocals ,Guitar and Harmonica By Bob Crane 1-11-09
Introducing the instruments pre ramble
Well...I am heading back Home. I'm Supposed to be leaving
I Made All my plans
You See I've got this old flame, I'll soon be seeing
I got no time for new Romance,
Well Maybe just a kiss or two and hey what’s the harm in a little slow dance you know
I gave notice at work and I told my friends Hey I got to go
I'm tying up all my loose ends, I've made my decision and they all know
What's that you say... You want me stay?
To see where this little love thing can go
I Can't believe it's love, Not from where I'm sitting
What’s that warm glow on my face? Well you know it's just a little Hawaiian Sun
All my friends think I'm Smitten... I don't believe it's true It can't be love, Cause... I got better things to do
Well you'd think I'd be mad, Cause everything was ruined
All my best laid plans gone bad , I had it figured out,
I knew just what I was doing, I had the right to be sad
I just didn't anticipate that overnight date and those passions we'd be pursuing
Take it away - Break - instrumental jam
It can't be love, not from where I've been sitting
Your talking about that warm glow, Well hell I don’t know
Maybe I’ve been bitten, It might be love, It must be true Ha ha, I ain't got nothing better to do
Take it away now let’s bring it home
Instrumental jam
Yeah that’s it I'm Helpless.... Its true , I’ve been bitten
You are in Love

True Love Pledge
By Robert Louis Crane
When I awoke that morning it seemed like just another day where did I get the courage to ask you if you would stay
and how could I risk the answer of what you would decide
I had a go with what my Gut was churning up inside
It’s all so confusing is it destiny or chance
It’s kind of amusing was it planned or was it happenstance
I remember what my folks said when I was just a child
they had made a true love pledge with conditions of a kind
just be true to one another and love could stand the test of time
pledge with me and happiness we’d surely find
it's all confusing how could I ever guess
kind of amusing a true love pledge would be our test
a couple dozen years have passed now since you agreed to stay the hopes and dreams that we planted are deeply rooted now today
was it luck that I was listening to daddy is true love tail or was it fate you were looking to follow that same trail
it's also clear now what I was taught so long ago
keep your true love pledge give your love a place to grow
it's a bountiful harvest from the garden of our lives
that we grew just me and you
as we were cleaved as man and wife

Verse 1
am e
I'm bending and about to break , so tired and feeling weak
e am
I'm vulnerable to mistakes, I didn't used make, I am staring at defeat

e7 e am
so many things I wished I'd changed and now I regret , Leaves me Powerless
1st chorus
am f 7 e6 am e7 e
so powerless as the light fades from eyes I pray for a miracle , before all hope dies
am f 7 e6 am e7
so powerless as I watch you slip away I've done everything I know how to do
e am
And itls all been in vain
2nd Verse
am e
I'm adrift on a stormy sea, on a leaky boat without a sail
e am
I'm running out track, on a speeding train , soon I will derail
f am
Like bird with a broken wing I've lost control of so many things
e7 e am
I'm Crumbling under the stress So powerless
Bridge
high f progression 10th fret bar 1st 3 strings 4th string 13th fret
Like the frightened Boy at the leaking dyke with the water breaking through
high am minor progression bar 1st 3 strings 5th fret 4th string 7th fret
Every time I plug another hole it gets replaced by two
d7 e7 e am
I'm running out out of fingers what more can I do I'm powerless
2nd chorus same chords as first
so powerless as the light fades from eyes I pray for a miracle , before all hope dies
so powerless as I watch you slip away I've done everything I know how to do
And it's all been in vain, I'm Powerless , So Powerless

Verse 1
I'm bending and about to break , I'm so tired and feeling weak
I'm vulnerable to mistakes, I didn't used make, staring at defeat
I'm struggling to address all those shortcomings I suppress
so many things I wish I changed now I regret , Leaves me Powerless
1st chorus
Powerless as the light fades from your eyes I pray for a miracle , before all hope dies
powerless as I watch you slip away I've done everything I know how to do
it's all been in vain
2nd Verse
Feels like I've been trying to swim upstream, nobody hears my frantic call
the River Toys and Drowns as she laughs at me and she drags me to the falls
Like bird with a broken wing I've lost control of so many things
I'm crumbling under the stress I'm so powerless
Bridge
Like a frightened girl at the leaky dyke with the water breaking through
Every time I plug another hole it gets replaced by two
I'm running out out of fingers what more can I do I'm powerless
2nd chorus
powerless as the light fades from your eyes I pray for a miracle , before all hope dies
powerless as I watch you slip away I've done everything I know how to do
it's all been in vain, I'm Powerless , So Powerless

Searching
Music & Lyrics By Robert Louis Crane
Chords - C7 , F, G, G7
Sometimes I see face in the crowd
and it gives me a notion,
Don’t know how or why it stirs up so much emotion
And why the laughter of a child one minute
makes me smile
and then at the same time ,
bring tear to my eyes…...
Chorus
I’ve been searching for those missing pieces
I’ve been looking for those things I can’t find
and this pain I feel I hope to soon be releasing ,
when I find you, my long lost piece of mine
I’ve been searching for some time
I’ve been quietly waiting for you
I’ve been afraid of what I might find
I’ve been hiding my Feelings yes it’s true ,
There is a little tear in my heart
but all the doctors say ain't nothing wrong
I’s a heartache that's been with me far too long
Chorus
I’ve been searching for those missing pieces
I’ve been looking for those things I can’t find
and this pain I feel I hope to soon be releasing ,
when I find you, when I find you,
when I find you my long lost piece of mine

the feeling in your heart made you fall in love that day

“Someone Like You”
By Robert Louis Crane “For Amanda “ 8-16-13
From my conversations with Gary
Verse 1
Well if you don't know, just to be safe that it's clear , if you've a lingering doubt, in the wake of my tears the best thing in my life, was to be loved …by someone like you
Chorus
If I didn't tell you, if I didn't show you,
you need to know you are more than I ever deserved
wish I could give you back all the time I stole away, it's what I regret ...to my last day
Verse 2
It wasn't your choice, you had nowhere to turn, you were the cool winter rain ,
on the bridges I burned...was it my dumb luck, or some beautiful fate
to be loved...by someone like you
Verse 3
the wounds were too deep , they just never healed ,
whatever I lost, I just tried not to feel,
behind a brave face, I hid all the pain, I take the blame , I take the blame
Chorus
If I didn't tell you, if I didn't show you,
you need to know you are more than I ever deserved
wish I could give you back all the time I stole away, it's what I regret ...to my last day
Verse 3
So twisted the road , that has been my life,
it didn't turn out quite like they told me it might,
I don't understand why God up above would let me be loved …
By someone like you
Repeat Verse 1
Well if you don't know, just to be safe that it's clear, if you've a lingering doubt, in the wake of my tears, the best thing in my life, was to be loved …by someone like you
Someone like you

Open with instrumental Piano Guitar bass and drums
You know I try to live more in the moment
I take it all in day by day

gets a little carried away sometimes
When I come home in the evening
that's when I like to slow it down
being here with you baby
that's just the best part of my day
Chorus
I love to have my Sundays all alone with you
I love to sleep in late and so do you
we could just stay in bed making love all day long
That's right
It's the smell of coffee I seem to love the most
with a little jam spread on my toast
Lord just got to have my Sundays
So I can spend em all with you

With loves afterglow dancing on your face
Lord just got to have my Sundays
So I can spend em all with you
