Signal Tonight
Words & music by Michael Kauzlarich
© Copyright 2023 X-Sonic Limited (ASCAP)
Spoken/acapella Intro
Can you hear me calling?
Is the signal getting through?
Give me a sign tonight
That you feel the way I do…
I’m sending you a signal tonight
Looking out for a sign
I’m coming for you lover, like a thief in the night
‘Cos it’s time for the stars to align
Chorus
I’m sending you a signal tonight
Looking out for a sign
I’m coming for you lover, like a thief in the night
‘Cos it’s time for the stars to align
Could it be you’re not receiving any signal tonight?
Or is it all by design?
Oh, deep inside my heart I know the feeling is right
Gotta wait until you say you’ll be mine
Say you’ll be mine
Verse 1
Today is the day that you give yourself to me
I’m waiting for you, waiting patiently
The passion we share is a different kind of love
Sent to our beating hearts now
From heaven above
Repeat Chorus
Verse 2
Time after time I’ve been waiting for your call
My friends often say that I’ll take the fall
But if there’s a chance that I still can set you free
Send me a message, baby
Just give in to me
Solo
Bridge
Look into my eyes and see the fire burning bright
Come take my hand now, darlin’
And hold me tight
Repeat chorus & fade

Staring at The Sun
Words & music by Michael Kauzlarich
© Copyright 2023 X-Sonic Limited (ASCAP)
Chorus 1
Well hey, you there, pretty boy in red
I think that you might be the one
‘Cos when I look into your eyes I swear
It’s like I’m staring into the sun
Staring at the sun
Verse 1
The moment we met
When you turned around, I could see
My world never would be the same
The light shining forth from your eyes captured me
You pulled me in like a moth to a flame
Chorus 2
I know that you are young and free
And your life has barely begun
But if you spend some time all alone with me
I will show you how two become one
Staring at the sun
Verse 2
Now I understand
You’re afraid to face up to the truth
But I see that look in your eye
Desire wrapped up in the mystery of youth
You know you gotta give it a try
Instrumental solo
Bridge
Come a little bit closer to me
Let our fingers entwine
Look into your heart,
You’ll see…
Chorus outro & fade out
Well hey, you there, pretty boy in red
I think that you might be the one
‘Cos when I look into your eyes I swear
It’s like I’m staring into the sun
I know that you are young and free
And your life has barely begun
But if you spend some time all alone with me
I will show you how two become one
So, won’t you take my hand pretty boy in red?
You know that you’re second to none
When you find a love that you know is real
It’s like you’re staring into the sun
Staring at the sun
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa
Staring at the sun
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa
Staring at the sun
Whoa, oh, oh
We’re staring at the sun

The Rain Is Gonna Fall
Words & music by Michael Kauzlarich
© Copyright 2023 X-Sonic Limited (ASCAP)
Verse 1
The sun goes down, it hides away
How long you’ve been gone, I don’t recall
The music on the radio
Is drifting softly down the hall
Chorus 1
While I’m waiting for your call
The rain is gonna fall
Verse 2
The clock unwinds as shadows fade
And night turns slowly into day
The sun comes up and clouds roll in
The skies above are turning gray
Repeat Chorus 1
Bridge 1
I’ll wait for a sign that you will come back
You’ll return to me baby
Trying to keep my hope alive so I can
Get through to another day
Verse 3
The day is done, the lights go out
And still I’m waiting for a call
I listen to the radio
And stare at the pictures on the wall
Chorus 2
As I wander through the hall
The rain is gonna fall
Seems you left me after all
Now the rain is gonna fall
Instrumental Solo
Bridge 2
Memories will fade away until
I know you will return to me never
I’m waiting for the evening star to shine
Out of the darkest night
Verse 4
The sun goes down, it hides away
And day is passing out of sight
The music on the radio
Continues to play into the night
Chorus 3
No, you’re never gonna call
So the rain is gonna fall
Take your pictures off the wall
‘Cos the rain is gonna fall
Stop the music in the hall
And listen to the rain fall
Coda & fade out
Now listen to the rain fall
Oh, I can hear the rain fall
On and on the rain will fall

Love by Chance
Words & music by Michael Kauzlarich
© Copyright 2023 X-Sonic Limited (ASCAP)
Chorus 1
For so long I’ve been waiting
Anticipating
Should love ever find me
The ties would bind me
I’d never fall for lovin’ by chance
Verse 1
Now I remember what you said to me
On the day when we first met
I recall the look upon your face
Oh, I never will forget
Even though we come from different worlds
Boy, you took me with a glance
Caught up in romance
I found love by chance
Chorus 2
So, now that you’re calling
My heart is falling
There is no mistaking
The love that we’re making
Somehow, we started lovin’ by chance
Verse 2
And now we’ve been together all these years
It’s like we’re living in a dream
As the days are slowly passing by
Things are never what they seem
When I look into your eyes at night
Feel like I’ve fallen in a trance
Caught up in romance
I found love by chance
Bridge
Now that I’m with you
No other will do
Now that you’re with me
You set my heart free
Chorus Outro
For so long I’ve been waiting
Anticipating
Should love ever find me
The ties would bind me
When I heard you calling
My heart started falling
There is no mistaking
The love that we’re making
We gotta keep on lovin’ by chance
[Repeat in background to fade]
A love by chance
Lovin’ by chance
[Repeat to fade]
Caught up in romance
We found love by chance

Shooting Stars
Words & music by Michael Kauzlarich
© Copyright 2023 X-Sonic Limited (ASCAP)
Chorus
Baby, let’s get together
It’s now or never
Under the cover of the night
In the moonlight if we surrender
Could it be forever?
Or are we only shooting stars tonight?
Verse 1
First time I looked into your eyes
The first time that I saw you
Sparked a fire inside this cold lonely heart
A feeling out of the blue
Never have I fallen this way before
Now I know what I gotta do
Gonna find a way to get to you now
I think that you want me too
Repeat Chorus
Verse 2
Tonight, all alone in my bed
I’m dreamin’ only of you
Will you come to me and open your heart?
Oh, how I pray that you do
Never thought that I could fall head over heels
Crazy over you
Gotta have you now, now all to my self
I hope you’re feeling it too
Instrumental Solo
Verse 3
Now you’re here wrapped up in these arms
Now my dream has come true
Will you promise to stay forever with me
The way that lovers do?

To My Star
Words & music by Michael Kauzlarich
© Copyright 2023 X-Sonic Limited (ASCAP)
Chorus 1
I’ll search for you throughout the darkest night
You’ll always be my guiding light
I’ll come to you whether you’re near or far
I’ll follow you
You are my star
Verse 1
On the day
That I ran away from love
Never thought that your heart
Would be constant as the stars above
Never knew just how much
I would miss the little things you do
Never dreamed that you’d wait
For me to come back to you
Chorus 2
The distant light shining down where you are
It leads to you
You are my star
Verse 2
So, tonight
Please forgive the things I’ve done
I’ll return to your side
From now on you are the only one
There’s no man in this world
Who can better see me through
No man who can hold this heart of mine
In his hands the way you do
Instrumental solo
Break
Now I swear, I will keep you close to me
Take each day to live my life with you
In love so joyfully
Coda
(Repeat chorus 1 & 2)
The love we share
Brought me to where you are
So, here’s to you
Here’s to my star
Oh, here’s to you
Here’s to my star
Here’s to you
Here’s to my star
To my star
To my star
Here’s to my star

Higher Ground (Around & Round)
Words & music by Michael Kauzlarich
© Copyright 2023 X-Sonic Limited (ASCAP)
Chorus 1
Around and round
Dancing to the sound
It’s gonna take us by the hand
And spin us round and round
To higher ground
Verse 1
I still recall all the nights I spent alone
When I was dreaming you were next to me
I opened up my eyes
And I saw you standing there
In that moment I knew we were meant to be
Chorus 2
Around and round
On a higher ground
Our bodies moving to the rhythm
Barely touching down
Around and round
With the love we’ve found
We’re gonna take it all the way
Up to a higher ground
To higher ground
Verse 2
I saw you smile, saw the way you looked at me
But I never thought you’d feel the way I do
I pushed it all aside
And I tried to run away
Now in the dark I’m calling out to you
Repeat chorus 2
Instrumental solo
Bridge
I called your name as you walked down to the beach
I never thought that I would ever dare
But you took me in your arms
Told me that you feel the same
Now all I hear is music in the air
Coda (repeat once)
Around and round
Dancing to the sound
It’s gonna take us by the hand
And spin us round and round
Around and round
On a higher ground
Our bodies moving to the rhythm
Barely touching down
Around and round
With the love we’ve found
We’re gonna take it all the way
Up to a higher ground
To higher ground…

Shadows in The Night
Words & music by Michael Kauzlarich
© Copyright 2023 X-Sonic Limited (ASCAP)
Chorus 1
These shadows in the night
They gather with the falling rain
And turn out all the light
I’m calling out your name in vain
But you are never there
Your abandoned room an empty space
Now all I do is stare into
These shadows in the night
Chorus 2
These shadows in the night
Conceal a broken heart inside
And though I try to fight
Some feelings they won’t be denied
The stillness all around
In a silent room, a lonely place
I cry without a sound into
These shadows in the night
Verse 1
It was many years ago
But it seems like yesterday
Never thought that smile would ever fade away
The sparkle in your eyes
That look upon your face
They’ve disappeared and you’re gone without a trace
Chorus 3
Like shadows in the night
These memories are passing by
They’re fading out of sight
And echo through a darkened sky
It always ends the same
As the rain falls like the tears I cry
I’m calling out your name into
These shadows in the night
Verse 2
Now the morning comes
And the darkness fades to gray
Open up my eyes and try to face the day
But as the clock unwinds
The night is closing in
The sun goes down and it all begins again
Instrumental
Bridge
Someday I’ll let you go and move into the light
But the thoughts of you, they always will remain
Sweet images of love will fade into the night
But the passing time will never ease the pain
Chorus 4
These shadows in the night
Have swept my little world away
Your spirit’s taken flight
I’m praying for the break of day
I try to carry on
Everywhere I look I see your face
But you vanish with the dawn into
These shadows in the night
Repeat chorus 1 & 2 then fade out
These shadows in the night
Shadows in the night
These shadows in the night
Shadows in the night

The Final Song
Words & music by Michael Kauzlarich
© Copyright 2023 X-Sonic Limited (ASCAP)
Chorus
This is the final song
That I’ll ever write for you
I’ve waited far too long
To tell you that we’re through
Now love has come and gone
Ain’t nothing left to do
But sing the final song
That I’ll ever write for you
This is the final song
Verse 1
Last night you phoned up to say you were missing me
Your reasons for leaving surrounded in mystery
The things that you said in the heat of the moment
Left me tongue-tied and twisted but I’ll never show it
Told me that you’d do better, that you’d stay forever
But I think you’re mistaken about my heart breaking
You said “get back together” but you know I’ll never
Feel that way for you ever again
Repeat chorus
Verse 2
Today when you saw me, you could not believe it
There’s no place in my world for you, I can’t conceal it
Never told me goodbye when you walked out the last time
Now you want to return to the scene of the crime?
No, don’t you try to pretend that you never did know it
There’s no way that the look on my face didn’t show it
I will try to forgive and forget but I’ll never
Take you back into my arms again
Instrumental solo
Bridge
Tomorrow I’ll move on, and life will get better
Never will I regret what I’ve said in this letter
There’s no chance for us now, so I’ll look to the future
As I gaze at the stars in the sky
Repeat chorus x 3
Our love has come and gone
This is the final song
Our love has come and gone
This is the final song
