LITTLE RENAISSANCES

Ted Wulfers

Did you ever think all of this would happen
Was it some kinda dream
Symptom of imagination
The grandest of schemes

So now is the time to fill up your mind with everything, understand
Little renaissances come and go with the rain any chance they can

What did you know today
That you did not know yesterday
Just imagine what tomorrow would bring
If you knew more than that today

So now is the time to fill up your mind with everything, understand
Little renaissances come and go with the rain any chance they can

Lookin’ out on the horizon
Tell me what do you see

Now is the time to fill up your mind with everything, understand
Little renaissances come and go with the rain any chance they can

Did you ever think all of this would happen
Was it some kinda dream

LITTLE SECRETS
Ted Wulfers

I saw the light
In the dark it was bright
Feels like I’m the only one
Could have made a right turn
Could have made a wrong turn
But the whole damn world just wanted to turn around

So I keep drivin’
I keep wandering
I keep trying to fill up my mind
With those little secrets
No one knows about
Those are the treasures that you find

I took the time to look into the mirror
See who I am
Sometimes I like him
Sometimes I hate him
But either way now I understand

So I keep drivin’
I keep wandering
I keep trying to fill up my mind
With those little secrets
No one knows about
Those are the treasures that you find

Did you the ride the wave
Did you vibe the flow
Did you find a way
Did you find the way to go

I saw the light
In the dark it was bright
Feel like I’m the only one
Could have made a right turn
Could have made a wrong turn
But the whole damn world just wanted to turn around

SOAPY SPIDER
Ted Wulfers

Soapy Soapy Soapy spider
Eatin’ all the flies in the windowsill
Soapy soapy soapy spider
If I can’t get ’em, Soapy will

Soapy came one day and he stayed
He used to greet me in the morning
He said “Man, get me some fruit…I need to eat some flies
And if you ask me again, I ain’t ever gonna tell you why”

Soapy Soapy Soapy spider
Eatin’ all the flies in the windowsill
Soapy soapy soapy spider
If I can’t get ’em, Soapy will

Soapy took over my soap dish
You see that’s how he got his soapy name
And he stayed nine months hanging out in my window
Until one day he chased an eight legged dame

Now as the story goes, they made sweet sweet spider lovin’
But then she ate my Soapy friend
And though I know I’m never gonna see him
To the flies and me, you know his legend never ends

Because he’s

Soapy Soapy Soapy spider
Eatin’ all the flies in the windowsill
Soapy soapy soapy spider
If I can’t get ’em, Soapy will

RHYMING DICTIONARY
Ted Wulfers

I got a rhyming dictionary
But there ain’t no words that vary with
Or rhyme with how much I love you
I got a rhyming dictionary
But there ain’t no words that vary with
Or rhyme with how much I love you

I’m just lookin’ for the words 
But they ain’t been written
So much to say and I’m so smitten

All these adjectives
All these similes
I could make a metaphor
So seemingly silly
Invent my own language
To extinguish all my anguish
For every second you’re not around
But there aren’t enough expressions good enough in any other words or sounds

I got a rhyming dictionary
But there ain’t no words that vary with
Or rhyme with how much I love you

I’m just lookin’ for the words 
But they ain’t been written
So much to say and I’m so smitten

I got a rhyming dictionary
But there ain’t no words that vary with
Or rhyme with how much I love you
So I’m just come right out and say it
You know that it’s true

MORNING DOVES
Ted Wulfers

There’s two morning doves
They’re so much in love
They visit me once a year
For the last decade
Their nest has been made
On my bedroom windowsill 

They say coo coo I love you
Coo coo, I love you
Coo coo, I love you
Each and every morning

Well my cat likes to catch ’em
And they like to watch him
They keep each other entertained
When I grab my guitar
I can hear from afar
They sing their familiar refrain

And say coo coo I love you
Coo coo, I love you
Coo coo, I love you
Each and every morning

For part of the year, they disappear
I wonder where they do go
The east or the north or the south or the west
To hide from the snow snow snow

There’s two morning doves
They’re so much in love
They visit me once a year
For the last decade
Their nest has been made
On my bedroom windowsill 

They say coo coo I love you
Coo coo, I love you
Coo coo, I love you
Each and every morning
Each and every morning
Each and every day
I love…   coo coo coo coo

NEW KIND OF HOME
Ted Wulfers

I’m looking for a new kind of home
A place to keep my guitars and rest my weary bones
In this life I feel so alone
So I’m looking for a new kind of home

I’m looking for a new kind of friend
Someone to love me, at least pretend
If I’m lucky, they’ll be there in the end
So I’m looking for a new kind of friend

Then the there’s you
Where’d you come from
Where ya goin’
Will you stay for a while
There’s somethin’ about you that’s oh, so lovely
And that’s when you smile

I’m looking for a new kind of home
To return to after I roam
In this life I feel so alone
So I’m looking for a new kind of home

I’m looking for a new kind of home
I’m looking for a new kind of home

663 REASONS
Ted Wulfers

Six hundred and sixty three reasons I will give
For living life to the limit
You never know what you can do if you don’t put it all on the line
Every day, every minute
That morning was surreal
With a rod and a reel
On February 28th…

That was the day I was Hemingway
With a blue marlin on the line
Changed life forever
Now she’s swimmin’ in a museum 
Teaching kids about physics
Her legacy continues to shine

Oh my soul, I didn’t know 
How we would be connected
What an endeavor
I’ll never forget her
On February 28th…

That was the day I was Hemingway
With a blue marlin on the line
Changed life forever
Now she’s swimmin’ in a museum 
Teaching kids about physics
Her legacy continues to shine

And it shines
And it shines
And it shines
And it shines

That was the day I was Hemingway
With a blue marlin on the line
Changed life forever
Now she’s swimmin’ in a museum 
Teaching kids about physics
Her legacy continues to shine

Six hundred and sixty three reasons I will give
For living life to the limit

TRYIN’ TO FIND THE WORDS
Ted Wulfers

I’m tryin’ to find the words

To find love
And I found love at the right time
When I found you

I CAN’T SLEEP WITHOUT YOU
Ted Wulfers

Go to bed
That’s what I try to do
But I can’t sleep without you

Go to sleep
That’s what I try to do
But I can’t sleep without you

There’s too much goin’ on in my mind
There’s too much goin’ on to go anywhere
Without you

Go to sleep
That’s what I try to do
But I can’t wake beside you
‘Cause you’re not here

You’re in my dreams
And I know that’s how it’s gonna be
But I miss you

Go to bed
That’s what I try to do
But I can’t sleep without you

Go to sleep
That’s what I try to do
But I can’t sleep without you
There’s too much goin’ on in my mind
There’s too much goin’ on to go anywhere
Without you

Go to bed
That’s what I try to do
But I can’t sleep without you
No, I can’t sleep without you
No, I can’t sleep without you

FEBRUARY
Ted Wulfers

February comes February goes
Tips at your tongue and nips at your nose
Sometimes it’s raining, sometimes it snows
February comes and February goes

What are you doin’ this February
It’s gonna be your year
What are you doin’ this February
What are you doin’ here

28 days, sometimes 29
Save one of those to be my Valentine
Jump on a mountain, I hear the skiing’s fine
28 days, sometimes 29

What are you doin’ this February
It’s gonna be your year
What are you doin’ February
What are you doin’ here

TWO TWO TWO
Ted Wulfers

Two two two, two two two
Reminds me of me and you
So perfectly once in a lifetime
So perfectly now

Two two two, two two two
The kind of math that gets ya through
Somewhere it’s snowing
Somewhere it’s really warm

Two, two, two

Two two two two two
Somewhere I left you
So take my heart and my soul with it
Add and subtract, it’s mine to give it

Two two two, two two two
Reminds me of me and you
Once in a lifetime, so perfectly
Two two two, two two two
Is how it should be

KIND OF DARKNESS
Ted Wulfers

I went for a walk along the water 
While the moon was on the run
Reminded me of that bonfire 
Where you and I were the only ones

Darkness
Darkness
The kind of darkness 
Where you can see everything

Looking for the pen and paper 
While the morning casts a spell
Tried that paint by number Mona Lisa
The one you stole for me to sell

Darkness
Darkness
The kind of darkness 
Where you can see everything

Look I dare you
Look if you dare

Into the darkness 
Where you can see everything
The kind of darkness 
Where you can see everything
The kind of darkness 
Where you can see everything

FIRST DANCE AT GRAMMAR SCHOOL
Ted Wulfers

Fruit punch in a paper cup
My lady, may I have this dance?
I’ve been practicing all the right movements
But I’m nervous I may split my pants

You saved the day with your beauty
You saved the day with your grace
You saved the day 
And we danced and we laughed and I gazed
At your beautiful face

First dance 4th grade
Taking lessons in a cloud of perfume
We learned everything we never needed
To remember when flowers bloom

You saved the day
You saved the day with your grace
You saved the day 
And we danced and we laughed and I gazed
At your beautiful face

And we danced…

DANCER WITH A CAMERA
Ted Wulfers

All about perspective
Angle and color
Find the movement in the moment

Painting in time
Eyes of cerulean
Then you’re truly in the moment

Dancer with a camera
Dancer with a camera
Dancer with a camera
Dancer with a camera

Toe shoes or Doc Martins
Doesn’t matter
With the movement in the moment

Be original
Odd juxtaposition
Imagination in the moment

Dancer with a camera
Dancer with a camera
Dancer with a camera
Dancer with a camera

PERCHANCE YOU GET TO DREAM
Ted Wulfers

We all have fairytales
We all have nightmares
Some of us never get to sleep
But perchance you get to dream
Tonight I call you lucky
And that’s a secret you can keep

We all have moments
Those precious moments
That truly give us pause within our day
And perchance you get to dream
Tonight I call you lucky
And wish you on your very merry way

If you dream is it true
Was I once the one for you

We all take pictures
Those precious pictures
Freezing time for a memory
And perchance you get to dream
Tonight I call you lucky
And think about the ones of you and me

We all have fairytales
We all have nightmares
Some of us never get to sleep
But perchance you get to dream
Tonight I call you lucky
And that’s a secret you can keep
The one to you from me

WALKIN’ IN THE MORNING
Ted Wulfers

When I’m walkin’ in the morning
And the wind sings a song

That ole wind keeps on singin’
And I know where I’ve been
