It's Too Hard written by Sheldon Manoo

I think I just might use this one for myself, I love it.

Here you come walking, walking back from troubles, walking back from pain
Walking back from heartaches, coming back to me again
When you left me, I was broken-hearted, I couldn't sleep at all
I couldn't eat, you were not there to call
And finally I thought I could get over you but now you're coming back to me
You were used so many times And I know I won't be happy.... Cause

It's too hard to hold you again
Too hard to say I love you again
Too hard to touch you again
It's too hard, too hard for me again

I can't say I don't feel sorry for you because I never really lost my love
But it's just you did so much things to hurt me, I just have to cove-r
I said I will forgive you as a friend
But you want us to be lovers to the end.....But

It's too hard to hold you again
Too hard to say I love you again
Too hard to touch you again
It's too hard, too hard for me again

You said you know you did a stupid thing
and you wish I could be yours cause you're sorry
If you knew it was wrong girl
WHY did you leave me to worry...Now

It's too hard to hold you again
Too hard to say I love you again
Too hard to touch you again
It's too hard, too hard for me again

It's too hard to hold you once again.

Smile...

Why worry? Shel and I are not taking ourselves too seriously at this point. He told me that he had trillions of songs and I said, "You know what, share it." In the end somebody might laugh, someone might sing it at their school dance or share it with classmates and maybe even break out a guitar and rattle it out in a teary state after a bad breakup! Come on....it's what we do with corny songs anyway.

After his teens, you would be amazed at the writer that he has become. Everyone is! One way or the other I will get him to share his more recent lyrics, but for now, we do this all in good fun. Think of it as clearing out our factory to make way for new stock!

...So, if you know of any teenagers that like music and might be up for the challenge, tell them to use some of these lyrics! We would love to see what they come up with. Send us or post up their performance. Honestly, nothing would be better. Can't wait for Friday...

War Over Melina written by Sheldon Manoo

I can't control my heart I can't tell it who to love
I can't control my senses I can't tell them what to feel
My mind tells me not to take on anybody, she's an angel from above
It says your insides love her so don't keep your feelings concealed

But other people tell me
Don't fall in love with Melina
She's gonna break your heart someday
But My Heart Don't Believe It!!
They say
Don't fall in love with Melina
She'll leave you going crazy
But My Mind Says No Way!!

So I'm caught between inside and all around
It's a war over Melina but I don't know who's winning
Sometimes she's a bad girl and sometimes she's the best I found
These fighters have my head spinning..........................

Musical Interlude

I just don't know, some say love her, some say don't dare!
So what am I to do cause I'm in fear
So make up your minds and tell me what to do with Melina
Should I love her, leave her, Love her or Leave her.
What Should I Do????????????????????????????????

For people tell me
Don't fall in love with Melina
She's gonna break your heart someday
But My Heart Don't Believe It!!
They say
Don't fall in love with Melina
She'll leave you going crazy
But My Mind Says No Way!!


All I have to say is: Is Melina real?

In Your World written by Sheldon Manoo



PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE SONG LYRICS CAN BE USED BY ANY ARTIST FREE OF CHARGE ALL WE ASK IS THAT WHATEVER WAY YOU USE THEM JUST POST IT TO THE BLOG OR OUR FACEBOOK PAGE!


My world is sad and it's so lonely
My world is so much pain and it's me only
I hardly have fun there's no one else here
There's no love and nobody to care

I wish I was a happy girl
I wish I was in your world
Yeah I wish I was in your world
In your world and I'm a happy girl
I want to be there in your world
Your world looks like it's happy and bright
Your world looks like it's really out of sight

On your face there's always a big smile
Anytime I see you, you're full of style
In your life everything comes and goes so easy
But back in my life it's so hard for me

I wish I was a happy girl
And I want to be in your world
I wish I could get out of my world
And go into yours and be a happy girl
I really wish I was in your world

(MUSIC)

Someday I know from my heart
I will have you by my side
And we will never part
Cause I'll be in your world to hide
There in your world...



















Okay... I know: It is not that he wished that he were a girl, he just wrote it from a woman's point of view

His Lyrical Expression

I raise my glass of organic non-alcoholic wine to you! At least I think that is what I will tell him for his upcoming birthday. Well it is kind of tacky, especially for a complicated man such as my husband Sheldon.

'I'm going to do it, I swear!'

Let me clarify. Through troubled childhoods and tough youths there is always something to help everyone through life. Music helps and it has helped in both our lives. Here's to our corny teenage years. I think as the idealistic teenagers that we both were, we were drawn to all things artistic. He wrote about '900 million songs', I painted, wrote poetry, songs and stories, which I am not as brave as he is to share.

He kept his songs and poetry in great condition and when he found himself bewildered as to what to do with them, I suggested to him that he should blog them away. "Yeah, but the songs are corny!" blah, blah, blah! To me, this is a better option than to just have them sit there collecting dust.

Everyday I will post a new set of lyrics from his portfolio. You can read them, have a laugh, a cry, try to sing them, share it with a friend or even an unwitting girlfriend that you are trying to impress (wink, wink). Remember that though my husband is a songwriter now, these songs were written in his teenage years from 13 - 18, so there is a corny factor to them. At least this is what he told me.

On the advice of my husband, songs on this blog are free to use. If you use them for professional or amateur reasons, we would want you to notify us. Feel free to send videos of your performances, or perform for us. If you can, send a donation, if you feel that you have benefited from these songs in any way. We will give 5% of all donations to charity. It is something that we try to practise daily.

He is not so computer-savvy, and is skeptical about this, but he will come around soon. I believe.To me, it is better than him just packing them away and hiding them in a dark room. Some one, some where, needs a song, no matter how simple it might be. Think of this as ode, a year long birthday present to my husband. Enjoy the lyrics to songs he wrote from the beginning of time!
