Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.
—Plato
Where words fail, music speaks.
—Hans Christian Andersen
I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.
—Billy Joel

No More Waitin’
Lyrics: Imondi, Music: Imondi/Popovich
© 2012 Lisa Imondi
Verse:
The First time that we met it was magic
And the first time that you smiled I felt my heart open wide
And the first time that we touched I felt it deep down in my soul
Oh you were the one to have and to hold
I’m not waitin around no more; don’t come knockin on my door
Took you three long years to decide; I’m getting on with my life
Chorus:
No more waitin, Not waitin by the phone
No more waitin, So tired of being alone
No more waitin , No more waitin waitin for you
Verse:
Thought our love could stand the test we had smiles and happiness
Thought our love was here to stay but something was always in your way
I can find somebody new, someone who loves me more than you
Someone who’ll always treat me right, who’ll come home to me every night
I’m not waitin around no more; don’t come knockin on my door
Took you three long years to decide; I’m getting on with my life
Chorus:
No more waitin, Not waitin by the phone
No more waitin, So tired of being alone
No more waitin, No more waitin for you
Verse:
Don’t say you need more time you know I’ve heard it all before
Don’t say that you’ll be mine I’m not listening anymore
I’m not waitin around no more; don’t come knockin on my door
Took you three long years to decide; I’m getting on with my life
Chorus:
No more waitin, Not waitin by the phone
No more waitin, So tired of being alone
No more waitin, No more waitin for you
Verse:
Don’t say you need more time you know I’ve heard it all before
Don’t say that you’ll be mine I’m not listening anymore No No

A Million Miles
Lyrics: Imondi, Music: Imondi/Popovich
© 2012 Lisa Imondi
Verse:
Through the window it all looks bright
The reflection shows what’s just not right
I watched it all come crashing down
So long, so slow, with so many around
And no one knew, no one knew the truth
Chorus:
Feels like I’ve walked a million miles
Cried so many tears
Can’t find a smile
I’m all alone
I’m crowded in, I’m all alone
I need to be, to find my home
Feels like I’ve walked a million miles
Verse:
Staring down the fork in the road
Which path will I regret when I am old
Which voice will speak to me in side
If I call out who will be my guide
And no one heard, no one heard a sound
Chorus:
Feels like I’ve walked a million miles
Cried so many tears
Can’t find a smile
I’m all alone
I’m crowded in, I’m all alone
I need to be, to find my home
Feels like I’ve walked a million miles
Bridge:
A million miles
I walked alone
A million miles
Am I home
Chorus:
Feels like I’ve walked a million miles
Cried so many tears
Can’t find a smile
I’m all alone
I’m crowded in, I’m all alone
need to be, to find my home
Feels like I’ve walked a million miles
What You Mean to Me
Lyrics: Imondi, Music: Imondi/Popovich
© 2012 Lisa Imondi
Verse:
Deeper than the ocean
Bigger than the sky
Whiter than a snowflake
Subtle like a sigh
Verse:
Warmer than the sunshine
Darker than the night
Bigger than a full moon
Like a ray of light
Like a ray of light
Chorus:
What you mean to me
Words alone can’t say
What you mean to me
They can’t take away
What you mean to me
I need you to know
What you mean to me
Everyday it grows
Verse:
Softer than a feather
Truer than a smile
Fragile like a crystal
Glowing all the while
Longer than forever
Pounding like my heart
Deep and spirit moving
Like a work of art
Like a work of art
Chorus:
What you mean to me
Words alone can’t say
What you mean to me
They can’t take away
What you mean to me
I need you to know
What you mean to me
With each it grows
What you mean to me
What you mean to me
What you mean to me
What you mean to me
What you mean to me
What you mean to me
What you mean to me
What you mean to me
Chorus:
What you mean to me
Words alone can’t say
What you mean to me
They can’t take away
What you mean to me
I need you to know
What you mean to me
With each it grows
Did I Love You Enough
Lyrics: Imondi, Music: Imondi/Popovich
© 2013 Lisa Imondi
Verse:
We sat in silence
Just our breath between us
We felt so much
Just our hearts beating so
So much to say
But no words
So much more time
But not ours
Pre-Chorus:
Did I give you enough of my time
Did I make you feel like you were mine
Chorus:
Did I love you enough
Guess I’ll never know
Did I give you my all
Before I let you go
Could you feel my hurt
When I said goodbye
Did I love you enough
Do you know how hard I tried
Verse:
Didn’t let go
Not for a moment
You looked right through me
But I was still there
So much to feel
But no touch
So much to see
But no light
Pre-Chorus:
Did I give you enough of my time
Did I make you feel like you were mine
Chorus:
Did I love you enough
Guess I’ll never know
Did I give you my all
Before I let you go
Could you feel my hurt
When I said goodbye
Did I love you enough
Do you know how hard I tried
Answers we’ll never know
To questions we need to let go
Tears for what’s in the past
Longing for the things that can’t last
Chorus:
Did I love you enough
Guess I’ll never know
Did I give you my all
Before I let you go
Could you feel my hurt
When I said goodbye
Did I love you enough
Do you know how hard I tried
Did I love you enough
Do you know how hard I tried
Lover’s Ghost
Lyrics: Imondi, Music: Imondi/Popovich
© 2013 Lisa Imondi
Verse:
After the thaw
You see what’s beneath
There’s no place to hide
No cover from the truth
The morning light
The darkness can’t mask
What no one can see
But what everyone knows
Chorus:
The room was gray
The walls were close
I could feel the pull
Of a lover’s ghost
But I pushed away
Made a path for me
Fought through the air
Found room to breath
Cause I could feel the pull
Of a lover’s ghost
Of a lover’s ghost
Verse:
The past is here
Future is deep
It’s too hard to know
Just where you’ll feel the pull
The flame was bright
But I looked right in
The smoke was so thick
Chorus:
The room was gray
The walls were close
I could feel the pull
Of a lover’s ghost
But I pushed away
Made a path for me
Fought through the air
Found room to breath
Cause I could feel the pull
Of a lover’s ghost
Of a lover’s ghost
Can the road be wet if it didn’t rain?
Can you feel good without feeling pain?
Can it be dark without the night?
Can you find your way without a fight?
Chorus:
The room was gray
The walls were close
I could feel the pull
Of a lover’s ghost
But I pushed away
Made a path for me
Fought through the air
Found room to breath
Cause I could feel the pull
Of a lover’s ghost
I could feel the pull
Of a lover’s ghost
Baby I’m Done
Lyrics: Imondi, Music: Imondi/Popovich
© 2012 Lisa Imondi
Verse:
You used to call me just to say hi
You used to kiss me goodnight
You used to always smile at me
You used to say you’d never leave
We used to talk and talk all night
We used to hold each other tight
We used to smile and hold hands
We used to love to make plans
Pre-chorus:
Then it all went wrong
Then it all broke down
Then it all was gone
Baby I’m done
Chorus:
Baby I’m done
I’m gonna go it alone
I’m gonna hold my head high
You cannot make me cry
I’ve done my time
You pushed me over the line
My heart has moved on
Baby I’m done
Verse:
I used to dream of you all day
I used to long for you to stay
used to tingle at your touch
I used to want you oh so much
Pre-chorus:
Then it all went wrong
Then it all broke down
Then it all was gone
Baby I’m done
Chorus:
Baby I’m done
I’m gonna go it alone
I’m gonna hold my head high
You cannot make me cry
I’ve done my time
You pushed me over the line
My heart has moved on
Baby I’m done
Bridge:
I’m done with all your lies
I’m done with sad goodbyes
So long to you and me
So glad I’m finally free
Pre-chorus:
Then it all went wrong
Then it all broke down
Then it all was gone
Baby I’m done
Chorus:
Baby I’m done
I’m gonna go it alone
I’m gonna hold my head high
You cannot make me cry
I’ve done my time
You pushed me over the line
My heart has moved on
Baby I’m done
Someone
Lyrics: Imondi, Music: Imondi/Popovich
© 2007 Lisa Imondi
Verse:
Took a shower in my clothes
It didn’t feel right
I walked in the rain
All alone, all night
I bought a ticket
On a one way flight
Looking for someone
To make it all right
Chorus:
Like walkin’ in a parade
No one’s there to cheer me on
The band’s playing loud
They’re not playing my song
I’m at a crossroad
Don’t know which way to go
Looking for someone
Looking for someone I don’t know
Verse:
I drove my car around the block
But never arrived
I changed my ways
Then gave up the fight
I tried to tell me
Tried with all my might
Looking for someone
To make it all right
Someone that I once met
Someone I can’t forget
Someone I don’t know yet
Verse:
Thought my luck was gonna change
Thought I’d catch a break
Thought I’d found someone
It was just a mistake
Gotta keep lookin
And I’ll get it right
Looking for someone
To make it all right
Chorus:
Like walkin’ in a parade
No one’s there to cheer me on
The band’s playing loud
They’re not playing my song
I’m at a crossroad
Don’t know which way to go
Looking for someone, Looking for someone
Looking for someone I don’t know
He’s Mine
Lyrics: Imondi, Music: Imondi/Popovich
© 2013 Lisa Imondi
Verse:
You can think he’s hot
You can like his smile
You can even stare
But only for awhile
He won’t leave my side
He’s not gonna stray
Won’t be without me
Not even for a day
Chorus:
He’s mine all mine
He’s mine all mine
He’s mine all mine
He’s mine
Verse:
I’m not gonna leave
He won’t be alone
I’m stayin right here
Better find your own
Chorus:
He’s mine all mine
He’s mine all mine
He’s mine all mine
He’s mine
Bridge:
You can’t have him, he’s mine
No doubt about it
Don’t waste your time
You can’t have him
No moe to say
No doubt about it
Just walk away, Just walk away, Just walk away
He’s mine all mine
He’s mine all mine
He’s mine all mine
He’s mine
Always

Like the moon, The sea, The sky
Like the child
Who wonders, who wonders why

Afraid
Lyrics: Imondi, Music: Imondi
© 2005 Lisa Imondi
Verse 1:
Alone, well, it’s just a word
But words
They can hurt
And by myself
It’s just a phrase
But it leaves me, so afraid
Afraid to love you
Afraid to lose you
I’m so lost inside my heart
Cause, you want me, you need me
But I’m afraid to start
Chorus:
Afraid to start something
I can’t finish
Something I won’t do right
Afraid I’ll love you
And then just leave you
Alone in the night ….in the night
Verse 2:
And love can leave you empty
Or glad to be alive
It’s a gift
So unknown to me
That it leaves me, so afraid
Afraid to love you
Afraid to lose you
I’m so lost inside my heart
Cause, you want me, you need me
But I’m afraid to start
Chorus: Afraid to start something
I can’t finish
Something I won’t do right
Afraid I’ll love you
And then just leave you
Alone in the night ….in the night
Verse 3:
Afraid
What I’ve always been
Of love
Of you and me
Now by myself
Seems I’ll always be
Cause I’m still, so afraid
Get Outta My Way
© 2010 Lisa Imondi
Verse 1:
You think you’re the only game in town

Get outta my way aaaaaaaa

Don’t care what you say
Get outta my way aaaaaaa
Get outta my way
Verse 3:
You think you’re the only game in town
You’re not
You think you’re the best around
You’re not
No one can stop me you’ll see
No one can get the best of me
I will make it, I will succeed
Chorus Repeat:
So get out, get out, get out…………
Get outta my way aaaaaaaa
Don’t care, don’t care, don’t care…………

Her Own Man
© 1996 Lisa Imondi
Verse 1:
Silence, then a tear, she told him
She no longer cared
She told him
She must move on
Their time together was all done
A sigh filled the air
He said Baby I still care
Give me a little more time
And soon babe you’ll be mine
Chorus:
She said no way
She’s doing fine
She goes dancing on Friday night
She laughs
When she’s in a jam
She’s finally
Her own man
Verse 2:
People, think she’s mean,
Doesn’t matter
It’s not what it seems
Doesn’t matter
It’s her own life
She don’t need to be, someone’s wife
At times she thinks of him
But she knows it’s just a whim
She knows she did what’s right
She doesn’t need him in her life
Chorus:
She said no way, She’s doing fine
She goes dancing on Friday night
She laughs, When she’s in a jam
She’s finally, her own man
Chorus:
She is free, She’s on her own
She’s OK when she’s alone
She knows she’s in control
He still thinks she’s so cold
She laughs when she’s in a jam
She is finally her own man
She’s finally her own man
You Don’t Own Me
Music & Lyrics: Eddy Arnold, Cindy Walker
Have You Ever (Gina’s Song)
Lyrics: Imondi, Music: Imondi
© 2008 Lisa Imondi
Verse 1:
Have you ever tasted the rain
Let it run down on your face
Have you ever held a butterfly
Studied its beauty and its grace
Have you ever tasted the rain
Chorus:
You’ve got to fly
Keep reaching for the sky
You’ve got to dream,
Don’t let life pass you by
Verse 2:
Have you ever laughed so hard you cried
With so much happiness inside
Have you ever slept out in the cold
To feel the starlit night unfold
Have you ever laughed so hard you cried
Chorus:
You’ve got to fly
Keep reaching for the sky
You’ve got to dream
Don’t let life pass you by
Verse 3:
Have you ever run so fast you fall
Trying hard to catch it all
Have you ever reached so far it hurt
Wanting so bad to make it work
Have you ever run so fast you fall
Chorus out
You’ve got to fly
Keep reaching for the sky
You’ve got to dream
Don’t let life pass you by
Have you ever tasted the rain
Have you ever laughed so hard you cried
Have you ever run so fast you fall
Have you really lived at all
Have you really lived at all
I Don’t Like Candy
Lyrics: Imondi, Music: Imondi
© 2006 Lisa Imondi
Verse 1:
I don’t like candy
The flavor just don’t last
I don’t like flowers
Their colors fade to fast
Diamonds are pretty
But they don’t make me laugh
Sharing’s just not my style
‘Cause I want more than half
Chorus:
But I like
Your smile, your style
Your walk, your talk
Your arms, your charms, your eyes
I’d like to
Spend some time
To laugh, to cry,
To know you for a while
But I don’t like candy
Verse 2:
Nice cars are flashy
But they run out of gas
Rich people, they just bore me<
They think they have class
They’re all so short term
So instant, so throw away
Why do they want it all?
Think right now, think today
Chorus
But I like
Your smile, your style
Your walk, your talk
Your arms, your charms, your eyes
I’d like to
Spend some time
To laugh, to cry,
To know you for a while
But I don’t like candy
Verse 3:
I don’t like jewelry
Cause it goes out of style
And I don’t like perfume
It only lasts a while
Fur coats are warm
But they can’t hold me tight
Some guys are nice to look at
But they’re not Mr. Right
Repeat Chorus-out
Oh, I like
Your smile, your style
Your walk, your talk
Your arms, charms, your eyes
I’d like to
Spend some time
To laugh, to cry
To know you for a while
But I don’t like candy
I don’t like candy…………………..
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow

Hearts of Gold
Lyrics: Imondi, Music: Imondi
© 1994 Lisa Imondi
Verse 1:
It’s a lonely road
Stretches on and on
There are many passersby
But every footprint in your own
Seems the dust only settles
When it rains
And the sun cast your shadow
Of hardship and pain
Chorus:
But don’t make life
A lonely road
There’s no need
To go it alone
Just hold your hand
For someone to hold
So many giving people
So many hearts of gold
Verse 2:
There’ll be days
When you travel far
There’ll be days
When you wonder where you are
Just look to the sky
To guide you everyday
And there’ll be someone beside you
Every step of the way
Chorus repeats:
But don’t make life
A lonely road
There’s no need
To go it alone
Just hold your hand
For someone to hold
So many giving people
So many hearts of gold
Bridge to end:
Whenever you’re in need
If ever you fall
A loving heart will be there
To help you through it all
Just hold out your hand
For someone to hold
So many giving people
So many hearts of gold
