Finally Free 03:48
FINALLY FREE -M. Cialdella Warm sunny day, drivin’ through town the radio up and the windows down Feelin’ lucky I’m around To see such a day like this The wind in my hair blows the clouds from my heart A perfect day for a brand new start A feelin’ in the air That’s pointless to resist So long I’ve been tryin’ to Make a break and start anew Now with the dawn of day It looks like I’ve found my way Out of the dark and into the light Once was wrong, now is right I’m feelin’ strong as I can be Oh, I’m fine…finally free The darkness now has gone away Mere shadows in the light of day I hope this me is here to stay For now I’m on the move I’m headin’ on, leavin’ town Grateful for the peace I’ve found Nothing’s gonna keep me down For now I’m in a groove So long I’ve been tryin’ to Make a break and start anew Now with the dawn of day It looks like I’ve found my way Out of the dark and into the light Once was wrong, now is right I’m feelin’ strong as I can be Oh, I’m fine, finally free Yesterday I couldn’t know Just what would come from letting go Now with the dawn of day The road is clear, and I’m on my way Out of the dark and into the light Once was wrong, now is right I’m feelin’ strong as I can be Oh, I’m fine…finally free

YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE FOR ME -M. Cialdella I remember the day, like it was this morning Hit me like a shot, was fired with no warning A bullet into my heart from out of the blue You entered my life, just radiating beauty Oh what a sight, no ordinary cutie And when our eyes embraced I instantly knew…that You’re the only one for me You’re the only girl I see Right from the start You captured my heart Hope you never set me free ‘Cause you’re the only one for me Before there was you, there were several others But they were just friends, never really lovers I guess all the while I must have been waiting for you And then you appeared, a shot in the dark And lit up my world with your magical spark A million whispered dreams finally come true You’re the only one for me You’re the only girl I see Right from the start You captured my heart Hope you never set me free ‘Cause you’re the only one for me (Instrumental) You’re the only one for me You’re the only girl I see Right from the start You captured my heart Hope you never set me free ‘Cause you’re the only one for me You’re the only one for me You’re the only girl I see Right from the start You captured my heart Hope you never set me free Lock it up and toss the key Baby don’t you set me free ‘Cause you’re the only one for me

JUST ANOTHER DAY -M. Cialdella I’m lyin’ awake here, just thinking of you I know what you said girl you think that we’re through But something about you I can’t seem to shake When we’re not together my heart starts to ache I can’t believe that this is the end How can we go back to just being friends? Oh give me…Just another day with you No more of these nights alone With just another day I know we’ll find our way Just another day with you is all I want I’m blinded by love, but why can’t you see? I’m perfect for you and you’re perfect for me We’ve had our problems, but everyone does I know we will make it if only you trust that This will never happen again How can we go back to just being friends? Oh give me…Just another day with you No more of these nights alone With just another day I know we’ll find our way Just another day with you is all I want C’mon girl I’m down on my knees One more chance I’m beggin’ you please C’mon baby let’s try it again We’ve got to be so much more than just friends Oh give me…Just another day with you No more of these nights alone With just another day I know we’ll find our way Just another day with you is all I want Oh give me…Just another day with you No more of these nights alone With just another day I know we’ll find our way Just another day with you is all I want

CHASIN’ A DREAM -M. Cialdella Day after day being stuck in the gray is startin’ to grind me down It’s hard to see where all this leads, ain’t so merry on the merry go round So I’m thinkin’ that I’m gonna leave it all behind Head on out and see what I can find Maybe I’ll head for New York City If not there, then New Orleans Who knows where this road will lead me But wherever it goes is fine with me ‘Cause I’m chasin a dream I know it’s not the conventional way, but I guess that’s part of the fun If nothing’s ever ventured, well, then nothing’s ever won Some may think I’m crazy for tryin’ But I”ll take the chance to save my soul, save my soul from dyin’ Maybe I’ll head for the City of Angels If not there, then Tennessee Who knows where this road will lead me But wherever it goes is fine with me While I’m chasin a dream (Instrumental) Some may think I’m crazy for tryin’ But I”ll take the chance to save my soul, save my soul from dyin’ Maybe I’ll head for New York City If not there, then New Orleans Who knows where this road will lead me But wherever it goes is fine with me Maybe I’ll head for the City of Angels If not there, then Tennessee Who knows where this road will lead me But wherever it goes is fine with me Wherever it goes is fine with me I’m chasin a dream Chasin’ a dream…

WHEREVER YOU MAY GO -M. Cialdella I know there are nights, when you’re tossing and turning Sleep seems far away, and it’s hard to even pray The storm inside blows on, your strength is almost gone, And even if you cried, there’d be no one there to hear When you think there’s nothing there for you to hold onto When it seems like no one cares and the world is against you Just close your eyes and know, wherever you may go There will never be a time you’ll walk alone I know it’s hard to share, it often seems it’s easier To lock the hurt away, and pretend it cannot stay But please have faith in me, on my shoulder you can lean When you want to shut me out, that’s just the time to let me in When you think there’s nothing there for you to hold onto When it seems like no one cares and the world is against you Just close your eyes and know, wherever you may go There will never be a time you’ll walk alone Just reach out your arms and let me be your shelter If you hold me close I will never let you go When you think there’s nothing there for you to hold onto When it seems like no one cares and the world is against you Just close your eyes and know, wherever you may go There will never be a time you’ll walk alone Just close your eyes and know, wherever you may go There will never be a time you’ll walk alone

Does It Matter? (free) 03:55
DOES IT MATTER? -M. Cialdella I gaze up at the stars tonight I see them in a different light I wonder, will they ever look the same again? I can’t believe that this is real The things I’ve seen, the way I feel I wonder, will we ever find our way again? Does it matter? Does it matter anymore? Does it really matter like we thought it did before? Does it matter anyway? I’m not sure how to go on A part of me forever gone Is there any way, any way to see the good? It’s hard to see around the bend It’s hard to know how this will end I wonder, would I want to even if I could? Does it matter? Does it matter anymore? Does it really matter like we thought it did before? Does it matter? Does it matter anyway? Does it really matter like it seemed to yesterday? As our walls fall to the earth They sow the seeds of our rebirth Watered by a salty rain No more shelter from our pain As our walls fall to the earth They sow the seeds of our rebirth Watered by a salty rain Will we ever love again? For love is all that matters anyway I pray, I pray that love will lead the way Love lead the way, lead the way, lead the way And as our walls fall to the earth They sow the seeds of our rebirth No more shelter from our pain But love will see us through the rain For love, love is all that matters anyway I pray, I pray that love will lead the way Love matters still today I pray…love matters still today… I pray, oh I pray

ALL ABOUT YOU -M. Cialdella All the things you’ve said and done Always lookin’ out for number one Only in hindsight has it become As plain as day to me I fought the urge to jump the gun And draw an incorrect conclusion But given all the deeds already done Now I really see That… It’s all about you It’s sad but it’s true It has nothing, girl, to do with me Many people not surprised Must have seen with my heart, but not my eyes So many truths, now are lies Or at least that’s how it seems Sick and tired of the alibis This time though they ain’t gonna fly There can’t be a good enough reason why You’d abandon all our dreams Except… It’s all about you It’s sad but it’s true It has nothing, girl, to do with me I can’t believe that after all we’ve done We could fall apart so fast But now at least I’ve opened my eyes I’m saying goodbye You’re quickly fading into my past I wanted it to last…yes I did, yes I did Well, now the time is for moving on Since all that we had is all but gone Whatever it was it’s over and done And this is how it has to be Looking back at the setting sun I’m thinkin’ that the time has finally come To pick up my pieces and make a run For you have set me free To… Forget about you And that’s just what I’ll do For this time girl, you see It ain’t about you That’s no longer true ‘Cause this time girl, it’s all…it’s all about me

MY LOVE NO MORE -M. Cialdella Wish I could’ve loved you better, that’s for sure Wish I could’ve stayed forever, forever yours Wish I could’ve loved you better, my love My love no more Wish I would’ve held you closer than I did I can still taste the memory of our tender kiss Wish I would’ve held you closer, my love Your love I miss I have to make my peace With so many memories Deep within my soul But it’s hard, I know you know How can I just let go Of all you are to me? Wish I could’ve dried the tears in your eyes Wish we could’ve given us another try Wish I could’ve dried your tears, my love My love goodbye (Instrumental) And now it seems to me I somehow have to set you free From deep within my soul But there will always be a part Of you that rests within my heart Forever Wish I could’ve loved you better, that’s for sure Wish I could’ve stayed forever, forever yours Wish I could’ve loved you better, my love My love no more
