[HARD TO SAY GOODBYE] Lyrics & Music by Sam Alon [VERSE 1] Alone Iʼm fine every single time But I know that I am yours Iʼm ready to leave that youʼll see And baby Iʼm for sure Each and every day Wish youʼd go away [CHORUS] Itʼs not fair to lead you on Feeling fake for way too long All these lies they feel so wrong So as I try I donʼt know why Itʼs hard to say goodbye [VERSE 2] Wondʼring where I have been I can only see so far Turns out to be something I canʼt take Wish that I can find my mark Need to find a way The right words to say [CHORUS] [BRIDGE] Time flies, time dies Iʼll keep it there as long as Time flies, time dies Weʼll stay here in song [CHORUS]

[OVERCAST PHOTOGRAPH] Music & Lyrics: Sam Alon [VERSE 1] Reality is talking in our sleep Though no one knows of how we sleep to dream Then time steps out of the frame And the colors sprout so unusually Feel the shadows take over for now [CHORUS] Itʼs just an overcast photograph Overcast photograph Just an overcast photograph Overcast photograph, itʼs just [VERSE 2] Symmetry, composition, shutter speed Envisioning a still from make believe Let love create a sensational visual taste inconceivable Feel elation take over for now [CHORUS] [BRIDGE] Inspiration leads to artistic feats Look to the past Love is so vast Art will last [CHORUSx2]

Hollywood 02:30
[HOLLYWOOD] Music & Lyrics by: Sam Alon [VERSE 1] Everybody knows what the night can ring The brew and the rise of fling The lines and the height it brings Will make you feel so nice The starless sky will hide your woes Your bright eyes definitely show The temptress of the night unfolds And wonʼt sleep till [CHORUS 1] The sun shines over Hollywood The hopes I had and knew I would Anxiety from broken dreams forewarned The contrived scene and sick melody Will keep you mute in ecstasy Behind these blinds the lights still show You canʼt escape tonight Tonight, tonight, tonight [VERSE 2] First comes traffic hazy streets Then pass bums in waves of heat The silhouette of mountain peaks Will make you feel so nice Everyone here can fake it Knowing that they will make it Through the stoges and through the night They wonʼt sleep till [CHORUS 1] [CHORUS 2] You wonʼt sleep till The sun shines over Hollywood The hopes I had and knew I would Anxiety from broken dreams forewarned The contrived scene and sick melody Will keep you mute in ecstasy Behind these blinds the lights still show You canʼt escape The sun shines over Hollywood The hopes I had and knew I would Anxiety from broken dreams forewarned The contrived scene and sick melody Will keep you mute in ecstasy Behind these blinds the lights still show You canʼt escape tonight Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

These Tears 04:03
[THESE TEARS] Music & Lyrics by: Sam Alon [VERSE 1] Why do I cry and why do I care Why do I even bother try Holes in my sleeve, a bird with a broken wing These tears come flowing too soon [VERSE 2] The perfume bottle is now empty it seems Thereʼs discoloration in a butterflyʼs wing Every step i take leads to another mistake These tears come flowing too soon [CHORUS] I never lied, you still made me cry I can believe you forced me to feel Emotions in a versatile way Therefore, the tears come too soon [VERSE 3] The crooked pool cue on the table behind Venom from abrasive words, i was blind Investment of time, realization of your crime These tears come flowing too soon [CHORUS] [BRIDGE] Young folks, false instincts Experience-collecting I really was considering it Would think about it I wanted it [CHORUS]

Danielle 03:33
[DANIELLE] Music & Lyrics by: Sam Alon [VERSE 1] Every day when you wake up You just hold your chin up high The sun beams through Hits your long black wavy hair And the forest calls your name You know you will be just fine Your free spirit you possess Can take you anywhere [PRE-CHORUS 1] So dry your tears you pretty girl Your smile can’t always hide distress Your daddy loves you Even though he is a lush [CHORUS 1] Danielle the moon will light the stage The stage is yours so dance away A pirouette is all it takes To mesmerize the trees around Inspiring everyone you meet So positive to every beat Danielle you glow like stardust in the night And make them say ‘Oh, Danielle’ [VERSE 2] Your old soul and youthful eyes Theatre’s where your passions lie Body posture, sex appeal Men can’t resist you Magic woman cast your spell Sing that tune you know so well Paint a picture, read a chapter Do what you do [PRE-CHORUS 2] So dry your tears now pretty girl Your smile can’t always hide distress Your daddy loves you Even though he drinks too much [CHORUS 2] Danielle the moon will light the stage The stage is yours so dance away A pirouette is all it takes To entertain the trees around Inspiring everyone you meet So positive to every beat Danielle you glow like stardust in the night And make them say ‘Oh, Danielle’ [BRIDGE] Danielle you make my life complete You’re the only girl I’ll ever see As beauty not too obviously bitter sweet You drive ‘em mad, you make them sad You bring ‘em pain, you make them glad Your art of never ending bedeviling [CHORUS 1]
