Fall November 2009 - Jim Herrmann
Fall descends
Winter's just around the bend
So much on my mind
Feel I'm falling behind
Leaves fall down
In streams of yellow and brown
From my eyes fall the tears
Of a lust for bygone years
Chorus
Love turns like the autumn leaves
To a winter of discontent
The impulse is to up and leave
All full of bad intent
The river of time keeps flowing
Snow melts and winter ends
True love keeps on going
Spring brings new life again
You can't see
What you've been doing to me
Your love has fallen away
Are We Ever Gonna Love Again Jim Herrmann – January 2006
Chorus
Are we ever gonna love again?
Can we find the passion we once had?
Will we ever love again
Or has all that we once were gone that bad?
I can't take much more
Please tell me that you care
And the love that we shared is worth fighting for.
Verse
When we first started out our passion left no doubt
We both seemed to know we couldn't let each other go
but time passes like it always does and we drifted apart
I'm sittin here wonderin if and how
we ever got this far
Chorus
Verse
Chorus
I remember when you used to take my breath away
Now you simply suck the life from me
I remember when we would always go out and play
Now we simply fight and disagree
We used to walk around together always hand in hand
We used to cuddle up together make love in the sand
Now those days of yore seem like a fairy land
How it ever got this way I can't quite understand
chorus
Remember when we started out, we couldn't get enough
The world seemed full of carnal lust and other magic stuff
Somewhere along the way it started getting rough
Showers in my Soul April 2008 - Jim Herrmann
Verse
Now it may be those April showers
Will bring about those May flowers
More sunshine and longer days
Mean more time for us to play
And leafy trees and greener grass
May portend good things to pass
We've got to find a way to make it last
Pre-Chorus
May a new spring, and the hope that it brings
Mean it's time to go, for the Showers in My Soul
Chorus
Rain rain go away, won't you come back some other day
Rain rain go fly a kite, don't ruin my day come back tonight
Dream Girl February 2009 - Jim Herrmann
Chorus
You're my Dream Girl
I dream of you each night
In my dream world
I'm holding you so tight
I hope someday I just might
Find my real world Dream Girl
Verses
You laugh, at all the silly things I say
You love, all the music that I play
I know at the end of the day
You'll be mine come what may
chorus
Your features, are oh so very fine
And I know, there's depth to your mind
When it's time to cross the line
You'll be right by my side
Bridge
I wake up, in the night
How Can I Miss You Jim Herrmann - September 2007
Verse
I never thought I feel this way
I never thought I'd have the nerve to say
I never thought I'd find a way
I never though I'd see the day
I never thought I'd have to play
I never thought I'd see you walk away
I never thought I'd rue the day
I never thought I'd beg you to stay hey
Chorus
Darling you know I love you each and every day
But how can I miss you, how can I miss you
How can I miss you, if you won't go away
I thought that I would treat you right
I thought that you would be polite
You Don't Own Me Jim Herrmann - September 2007
Verse
You can't tell me what to do
I don't think that I belong to you
I'm not sure what path I'll take
But staying here would be a big mistake
Chorus
You don't own me you can't control me
I'll find a way to walk away
You don't own me you can't control me
I'll walk away someday
You tell me just to cut my hair
Now I don't think that's really fair
When I try to expand my mind
You tell me that it's not my time
chorus
You put me out on an open road
Then said just do as you're told
Breakthrough June 14 2009 - Jim Herrmann
Verse
I'm looking for a breakthrough
I'm looking for a light
Looking for new possibilities
for being in my life
I want to clear the rackets
running in my head
I want to find out the untruth
in everything I've said
Chorus
I want to be free
to live a great life
Get right with my Mother and Father
Brother, Sister, Wife
I want to be free
to live without fear
Not worry 'bout the future or past
be present now and here
My life has got some problems
that I'm not gonna fix

Living with family year after year
Often times is hard and sometimes leads to tears
Should toothpaste or TP get in the way
Keep it in perspective you'll laugh about it some day
Chorus
Choose Your Battles
What's it worth for you to win
Choose Your Battles
Careful what you begin
Choose Your Battles
Don't waste time on cheap returns
Choose Your Battles
Always know what bridge you burn

Be Strong Live Long August 2011 - Jim Herrmann & Linda Erday
Intro
Verses
Some might grieve, for what it took away
I’m in a battle, many would say
The colon I lost and the toll it took
But I'm not one who goes by some old book
Chorus
Be Strong, live long
It's just a condition I'm managing
Be strong, live long
A body is constantly changing
Be strong, live long
And don't let disease rule your life.
intro
I want you to see the lessons I’ve learned
The path I walk, the pages I’ve turned
The loss does not out weigh the gain
