“Deer in the Headlights”  

© Music/ Lyrics written by: Ana Cristina Alvarez (ASCAP)  

I had the chance of my life, the chance to make my dreams right

Then my pupils shrunk in the light and I just froze

The stern faces scrutinized, you extended your hand and said goodbye

I expected so much more than souvenirs in exchange for tears  

Didn’t get to say all I wanted to say

Didn’t put up a fight before you turned me away

I was filled with fear just like a deer caught in the headlights  

And you know, you know the feeling, looking for answers

I know, you know, we know  

I poured my soul out to you, I didn’t know what else to do

If only you’d let me get through to touch you

Now I’m going home without a clue on this bumpy plane thinking of you

Scribbling on napkin corners crying as I write my way back to you   

Didn’t get to say all I wanted to say

Didn’t put up a fight before you turned me away

I was filled with fear just like a deer caught in the headlights  

And you know you know the feeling, looking for answers

I know, you know, we know , we know ,we know  

Self doubt,self served ,self mutiliation

Self blame,self shame , humiliation

Don’t drop the ball, work hard don’t fall, get up stand up, stand still, look pretty

Be perfect, watch that attitude…Why are you crying? 

Didn’t get to say all I wanted to say

Didn’t put up a fight before you turned me away

I was filled with fear just like a deer caught in the headlights

Didn’t get to say all I wanted to say

Didn’t put up a fight before you turned me away

I was filled with fear just like a deer caught in the headlights  

I had the chance of my life December day…..

 I Try”  

© Music and Lyrics written by: Ana Cristina Alvarez (ASCAP)  

I can be the catalyst of your every desire

But will I measure up if I try hard to be your everything

If I’m what you want me to be, would you be happy? 

I try I try to win your love but nothing’s ever good enough

I try, hear me now I’m screaming out loud

I’m not perfect but I try ( I try, Itry,I try) 

Open up your eyes to me,I’m the voice from the sea

Your fantasy, your muse of beauty

Hear my haunting melody

Will it bring you closer to me or make you leave me?  

I try I try to win your love but nothing’s ever good enough

I try, hear me now I’m screaming out loud

I’m not perfect but I try  

I smile on the outside but cry inside

A part of me is dying

I’m horrified

Are you happy now?  

I try to win your love but nothing’s ever good enough for you

I try, hear me now I’m screaming out loud

I’m not perfect but I try  

Hear me now I’m screaming out loud I’m not perfect but ,

Im not perfect but I try I try ooohh…

Merry-Go-Round 

© Music/Lyrics written by: Ana Cristina Alvarez (ASCAP) 

Merry Merry quite contrary wasn’t an ordinary girl

She’d ruin your whole world

Wearing her mini dress she’d pass by the boys with a smile  

All the girls meanwhile rolled their eyes and called her a home wrecker

and all the boys she loved would tell her 

Merry go round and round spinning in my mind

I think of you all the time

Merry go round and round wont you please be mine

But all she wanted was to have a good time  

Word spread quick she was an easy target

Was the life of the party till her early 30’s

Out to pick her flavor of the week

But she’d use them and trash them like yesterday’s meat 

Oh that Merry was a heartbreaker

She got around that’s why they named her:  

Merry go round around spinning in my mind

I think of you all the time

Merry go round and round wont you please be mine

But all she wanted was to have a good time   

Go round

Merry –go- round

Spinning around …she wouldn’t settle down

And they said: 

Tell us what you dare implore before you say more

What do you want attention for, we already know that you’re a (Shhh) 

Merry-Go-Round, I think of you all the time

Merry-Go-Round and round wont you please be mine

But all she wanted was to, wanted

Wanted to have a good wanted to spin spin around

Merry go round…But all she wanted was to have a good wanted was to have a good time

Merry Merry quite contrary….

Listen to me boy with the blue mustang

I've got a one way ticket ride to someplace you've never been

Can I hop in?  

We can have a good time ,I like you

You look nice, let me drive your car

and I will show you the time of your life 

I fell in love with the boy with the blue mustang

he smiled when he saw me

I fell in love with the boy with the blue mustang

He smiled when he saw me yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah yeah)  

We met one afternoon after school

in the parking lot

he looked so hot I thought that I would just drop 

Is he actually staring at me?

did my heart just skip a beat?

oh I'd be so sweet sitting in his front seat

and having the time of our lives (ooohhh)  

I fell in love with the boy with the blue mustang

he smiled when he saw me

I fell in love with the boy with the blue mustang

He smiled when he saw me yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah yeah)   

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo (I fell in love with the boy, I fell in love) 

and having the time of our lives,of our lives, of our lives, 

I fell in love with the boy with the blue mustang

he smiled when he saw me

I fell in love with the boy with the blue mustang 

I took the ride of my life

in his eyes

I took the ride of my life in his eyes

I snuck out the bedroom window

left the TV on , we took a ride before they knew we were gone

I've gotta get back home before mom and dad kill me.....

Lucky Accident  

© Music/Lyrics written by: Ana Cristina Alvarez (ASCAP)

 

I never thought I’d find the one for me

It seemed so very unlikely

Then by coincidence you came to me

What were the odds that we would be 

Together playing leading roles  

In this game of give and take

There must be some mistake  

We didn’t want to fall in love

That’s not what we meant

It just happened

and what did we do that was so hell-bent    

To deserve this lucky accident ?  

I’d like to be your misfortune and your chance

A total fluke of circumstance

You’ll be my first ,the in between ,and my last

I’ll make you cry, then make you laugh  

Who’d ever thought we’d

Play the roles in this game of give and take

There must be some mistake 

We didn’t want to fall in love that’s not what we meant

It just happened

And what did we do that was so hell-bent to deserve this lucky accident? 

(Whoa whoa whoa whoa….) 

Who’d ever thought we’d play the roles

In this game of give and take?

There must be some mistake

We didn’t want to fall in love

It just happened…ahhh to deserve this lucky accident

We didn’t want to fall in love it just happened

We didn’t want to fall in love that’s not what we meant

And what did we did do that was so hell-bent to deserve this lucky accident?

You tripped and  fell and landed in my life

You cut right through my heart like a knife

It’s heaven sent, this lucky accident.

 El Tiempo

Sigo aqui tan harta y aburrida

deshojando las margaritas,  

victimas de mi indignacion.  

Cuantas ganas tengo de besarte ,

Y de acariciarte

Pero la distancia empeora la situacion 

y yo me enfermo, de la rabia que siento

pensando en los momentos,que dejamos ,dejamos pasar  

Chorus:

El tiempo nos engana

Nos pone un horario y despues lo cambia

Las unas del reloj son mis enemigos

El tiempo no le importa

Que te extrano o si tu me adoras

Ya no aguanto mas la angustia

Como pasan horas minutos y los segundos sin ti 

Como un pez fuera del agua, me siento asfixiada

no encuentro manera de respirar

No entiendo, cual es la demora

Me tiene loca

pensar que tal vez ya no regresaras  

Yo me enfermo, de la rabia que siento

Pensando en los momentos,que dejamos,dejamos pasar  

El tiempo nos engana

Nos pone un horario y despues lo cambia

Las unas del reloj son mis enemigos

El tiempo no le importa

Que te extrano o si tu me adoras

Ya no aguanto mas la angustia

Como pasan horas minutos y los segundos sin ti 

(ohhahhh ohh ahh)

El Tiempo, tiempo no perdona y el tiempo, no le importa

Ooo…El Tiempo

Sigo Aqui en la nada mientras el tiempo pasa… 

El tiempo nos engana

Nos pone un horario y despues lo cambia

Las unas del reloj son mis enemigos

El tiempo no le importa

Que te extrano o si tu me adoras

Ya no aguanto mas la angustia (el tiempo, tiempo no perdona)

Y el tiempo nos engana, nos pone un horario y despues lo cambia

Las unas del reloj son mis enemigos

Y el tiempo no le importa que te extrano o si tu me adoras

Ya no aguanto mas la angustia

Como pasan las horas minutos y los segundos sin ti ,sin ti

Recuerdo el dia que te conoci

me regalaste unas rosas del jardin

que despues se convirtieron en papel

y ahora queda este dolor, sembrado muy dentro de mi  

Las gotas de lluvia al caer

Mojaron tus rosas de papel

Su fragancia se fue

y solo quedan las espinas y el rencor del ayer 

Fue una noche de abril

Cuando al fin tu traccion la descubri

y ese castigo no la mereci

y ahora queda este dolor, clavado muy dentro de mi 

Las gotas de lluvia al caer

Mojaron tus rosas de papel

Su fragancia se fue, se fue se fue

Las gotas de lluvia al caer mojaron tus rosas de papel

Su fragancia se fue

y solo quedan las espinas ,y el rencor del ayer 

Las gotas de lluvia al caer

Mojaron tus rosas de papel

Su fragancia se fue

Se fue se fue

Las gotas de lluvia al caer

Mojaron tus rosas (oh,oh)

Su fragancia se fue

Las gotas de lluvia al caer mojaron tus rosas de papel

Su fragancia se fue

Y solo quedan las espinas, solo quedan las espinas

Y el rencor del ayer 

Recuerdo el dia que te conoci

Me regalaste unas rosas del jardin…

Toda Mi Vida

True Gift Music Publishing LLC  

Que es esta quimica entre tu y yo?

Me vuelve loca y siento que ya pierdo

toda la razon, que dulce sensacion 

La conexion entre los dos

Se que es mas que pura seduccion

Es verdadero, es sincero

Que sea eterno es mi unico deseo 

Y voy amarte para toda mi vida

Para este sueno no habra un final

Voy a ensenarte lo que realmente es amar

Aunque la luz de la luna se gaste y el sol se ahoge en el mar  

Este encanto se ha vuelto obsession,

 se a hecho objecto de mi gran supersticion

y La fijacion de mi adoracion,  

No dudo lo que eres para mi

un talisman, mis ganas de vivir

El amuleto de buena suerte

Que guardo dentro de mi Corazon, siempre 

Y voy amarte para toda mi vida

Para este sueno no habra un final

Voy a ensenarte lo que realmente es amar

Aunque la luz de la luna se gaste y el sol se ahoge en el mar  

Y voy amarte para toda mi vida

Para este sueno no habra un final

Voy a ensenarte lo que realmente es amar

Aunque la luz de la luna se gaste y el sol

Y voy amarte para toda mi vida

Para este sueno no Habra un final

Voy a ensenarte lo que realmente es amar

Aunque la luz de la luna se gaste y el sol se ahoge en el mar

Aunque la luz de la luna se gaste y el sol se ahoge en el mar

Believe In Me           

© Music/Lyrics written by: Ana Cristina Alvarez (ASCAP)

True Gift Music Publishing LLC           

Sometimes I’m confused about the world in which we live in

Why do we create so many problems for ourselves

And will I find the peace I’ve been searching for so badly?

If I paid my dues, then why am I still here?  

Wondering where else do I go

When I’m feeling down I know you’ll catch my fall 

Cause you believe in me, and nothing else matters to me

Right now, I’m feeling so free

With the touch of your hand, I know how it feels to fly

You believe in me 

When can I begin to throw my worries out the window?

If I fail, would you be there to help me mend the pieces of my past?

And do you, know the meaning of together?

Cause it’s all for the better, don’t ever leave me darling hanging forever while still wondering 

Where else do I go? With you I feel like I can do it all 

Cause you believe in me, and nothing else matters to me

Right now, I’m feeling so free

With the touch of your hand, I know how it feels to fly

You believe in me 

You said I was the one when I felt like a zero (Why did I feel so useless?)

When I was a mess you deemed me as a hero (Why did I make excuses?)

I don’t need more chaos in my life

I’m so grateful for you

You make me feel so alive 

Cause you believe in me, and nothing else matters to me

Right now, I’m feeling so free, yeah

With the touch of your hand, I know how it feels to fly

You believe in me

Cause you believe in me, and nothing else matters to me

Right now, I’m feeling so free

With the touch of your hand, I know how it feels to fly

You believe in me

Ohh, You believe in me
