Happily Ever After
Written By: Rehya Stevens & Bryan E. Miller
Big dreams and fairytales
Jasmine flowers, a snow-white veil
Photographs of memories
A storybook couple in a vintage frame
Someday we’ll tell our kids about our wedding day
And how you swept me off my feet forever
But the world keeps crashin’ round
We keep stumblin’ stumblin’
It feels like we’re spinnin’ out
We keep tumblin’ tumblin’
It’s not how we thought it would be….
Chorus:
We’re gonna make it!
To happily ever after
I’m yours, you’re mine
We’re here to stay
Even on the bad days
We wouldn’t want it any other way
So we’re gonna make it!
Through the tears and the laughter
To happily after…
After All…
We’re gonna make it!
Distant fantasies of Rome, flowing champagne
A cozy chateau in the summer rain
A getaway to break these sober
Long days with just a kiss goodnight
Trivial things, and stupid fights
Then you spend our Sundays with your newspaper
So the love I feel for you
I’ll keep showin’ it, showin’ it
I know you feel the way I do
So keep growin’ it, growin’ it
That flame will take us through anything
Chorus:
We’re gonna make it!
To happily ever after
I’m yours, you’re mine
We’re here to stay
Even on the bad days
We wouldn’t want it any other way
So we’re gonna make it!
Through the tears and the laughter
To happily after…
Bridge:
Imperfections, disconnections
You try so hard to not make me cry
Accusations, miscalculations
When there’s nothin’ to hide
Chorus:
We’re gonna make it!
To happily ever after
I’m yours, you’re mine
We’re here to stay
Even on the bad days
We wouldn’t want it any other way
So we’re gonna make it!
Through the tears and the laughter
To happily after…
After, after, after all…
We’re gonna make it…
So baby, take my hand
We’re gonna make it!
After, after, after all…
To happily ever after

NYC
Music & Lyrics Written By: Rehya Stevens
Chorus:
New York puts me on a high
New York puts me on a high
There’s not a cloud up in the sky
When New York takes me on a sensory high
Verse:
It’s just like the movies hangin’ in the park
(Oh, Central Park)
I love the Queens and the Brooklyn natives
And the way they talk
(straight talk)
See the Wall Street Romeo’s
The fashionista’s in couture
And all the kids in young love
(young love)
Out on display
Ohhh…
Chorus:
New York puts me on a high (NYC)
New York puts me on a high
There’s not a cloud up in the sky (up in the sky)
When New York takes me on a sensory high
(New York City, New York City)
Verse:
Oh, I’d like to read the memoirs
Of rooftop Rendezvous
Invitations to celebrations, intimations
That I long to be invited to
Makes me want to play (makes me wanna play)
The “Sweetest Taboo”
So smooth and so perfect (smooth)
I’m in an NYC groove
Chorus:
New York puts me on a high (NYC)
New York puts me on a high
There’s not a cloud up in the sky
(that’s where I wanna be)
When New York takes me on a sensory high
(New York City New York City)
Bridge:
It’s a kaleidoscope
Of culture
That I want to learn
And not just observe
As a tourist place
See the people tryin’ to make it on the scene
See the lovers in a hurry
Subways in a blurry
Rush of energy
Breakdown:
Soul
Expression
Drive, heat, tension
Soul
Expression
Alive, dreams, Invention
Chorus:
New York puts me on a high
New York puts me on a high
There’s not a cloud up in the sky
When New York takes me on a sensory high
New York puts me on a high
New York puts me on a high
There’s not a cloud up in the sky
When New York takes me on a sensory high
I love it here
I love it here

Don’t Interrupt
Written by Rehya Stevens and Duane Neillson
The sun’s goin’ down
And it’s getting late
The moment is now
But it’s starting to fade
The temptation’s strong
My senses obey
The notion to melt in your arms
Plays in sweet refrain
Chorus:
Don’t interrupt when you hear love callin’
Baby don’t say goodnight
Don’t interrupt when you feel you’re fallin’
Baby don’t say goodbye
That look in your eyes
Can barely conceal our fate (pretty baby)
It only seems wise
To not hesitate
Don’t Interrupt, Interrupt
Chorus:
Don’t interrupt when you hear love callin’
Baby, don’t say goodnight
Don’t interrupt when you feel you’re fallin’
Baby, don’t say goodbye
Bridge:
Baby, I’m so inspired by you
Stay awhile, Stay awhile
Discover what my desire can do
Chorus:
Don’t interrupt when you hear love callin’
Baby don’t say goodnight (Baby, don’t say it now)
Don’t interrupt when you feel you’re fallin’
Baby, don’t say goodbye (the sun’s goin’ down and the moment is now)
Don’t interrupt when you hear love callin’
Baby don’t say goodnight
Don’t interrupt when you feel you’re fallin’
Baby don’t say goodbye (baby, don’t let me down)
Don’t interrupt, Interrupt yeah
Don’t Interrupt, Interrupt yeah (Baby, I’m so inspired)
Don’t Interrupt, Interrupt yeah
Don’t interrupt, interrupt yeah (Baby, I’m so inspired by you)
Baby, Goodbye
Pop & R&B Catalog
Baby, Goodbye
Written by Rehya Stevens and Carmen Grillo
You say it’s all in my mind
But I know you too well
I would have to be blind
Not to see the way you fell
That look in your eyes
The way you lose your cool
Oh it feels just like déjà vu
Chorus:
I know where you’ve been, where you’re goin’
The way she warms you like a sunny mornin’
The way that she warmed you tonight
Well I’d hate to lose you to another woman
I may sing the blues, but it don’t mean nothin’
You’ve hurt me again for the last time
So baby, goodbye
You know you’ve done this before
You were bound to do it again
And every day since you swore
You’d be true as long as you lived
I should not be surprised
Lord I must look like a fool
I thought you loved me baby
The way I love you
Chorus:
I know where you’ve been, where you’re goin’
The way she warmed you like a sunny mornin’
The way that she warmed you tonight
If you need the hands of another woman
I don’t understand and I’ll always wonder
But there’s just no good reason why
So baby, goodbye
Bridge:
I’ve run out of forgiveness
I’d have to be out of my mind
But God as my witness
I’d have loved you for the rest of my life
Ohhhh….
But you started comin’ home so full of lies
And I know you hate the truth, but I’ll tell you somethin’
I just can’t get use to your way of lovin’
And I think it’s your turn to cry
So baby, goodbye

Can’t Get You Out Of My Mind
Written By Rehya Stevens & Eric Colvin
Every time I see your face
Oh…it makes my whole heart race
And I just pray that no one knows
Or my cover’s gonna get blown
And if you dare find out
I’ll be the fool everyone’s talkin’ about
Chorus:
I try so hard (I can’t help it!)
I just can’t stop (Whatever I do)
It’s you I want
I keep dreamin’ of you, yeah
And when I see your face (I can’t fight it)
I fall from grace (I wanna tell it to you)
That I’m a hopeless case
Cuz I can’t get you out of my mind
No, no, no, no
Baby, it’s so hard to resist
Oh…fantisizin’ about your kiss
And oh baby, what it’d be like
To make love to you every night
And if you touched me now
I’d be so high, I’d never come down
Chorus:
I try so hard (I can’t help it!)
I just can’t stop (Whatever I do)
It’s you I want
I keep dreamin’ of you, yeah
And when I see your face (I can’t fight it)
I fall from grace (I wanna tell it to you)
That I’m a hopeless case
Cuz I can’t get you out of my mind
No, no, no, no
Bridge:
Well this heart of mine
Is goin’ crazy for you
My soul is on fire
And it burns from this muse
My body trembles inside
So hopelessly confused
Won’t you make it alright?
Cuz I can’t get you out of my mind
Oh no, yeah…woo whoo…
Chorus:
I try so hard (I can’t help it)
I just can’t stop (whatever I do)
It’s you I want
I keep dreamin’ of you, yeah
And when I see your face
I can’t fight it
I fall from grace (I wanna tell it to you)
That I’m a hopeless case
Cuz I can’t get you out of my mind
No, no, no, no
All Because Of You (Demo)

All Because Of You
Written By Rehya Stevens & Sandro Albert
There was a time
There was a phase
I wasn’t right
I was out of place
I’d broken down
I’d suffered fools
I’d resigned to drown
‘Til you came to my rescue
Chorus:
Now my world is brighter
My life is better
My heart is stronger
All because of you
I’d lost my faith
I was cold to the touch
But the picture in the frame it changed
When you showed me love
Chorus:
Now my world is brighter
My life is better
My heart is stronger
All because of you
My heart is lighter
My soul has mended
My dreams are alive again
All because of you
It’s frightening
Just thinking
What could have become of me…
What could have become of me?
You came for me!
Chorus:
Now my world is brighter (you brought me life again)
My life is better (I’m coming to life again)
My heart is stronger
All because of you
Now my world is brighter
My soul has mended
My heart is stronger
All because of you
Now my world is coming to life again
You brought me to life again
I’m coming to life again
All because of you
Afterthought

Afterthought
Written By Rehya Stevens
Tossing and turning…
When you try to fall asleep at night
Do you toss and turn?
When you try your best to do things right
Do you feel unsure?
Is your attention deficient?
Are you aware that something’s missin’
Like me?
Like me?
Chorus:
Acted before we thought
Now nothin’ feels right
We should have thought
Should have thought to try
Acted before we thought
Instead we said goodbye
Should have thought
About you and I
Acted before we thought
Now I think day and night
Now I think day and night
I wish we hadn’t made love
An afterthought
An afterthought
When you’re talkin’ on the telephone
Does your voice sound strange?
Drivin’ in the car on your way home
Do you drift off on a daze?
Is your performance insufficient?
Is your attitude indifferent?
Like mine?
Like mine?
Chorus:
Acted before we thought
Now nothing’s goin’ right
Should have thought
Now I’ve got a one-track mind
Acted before we thought
Instead we said goodbye
Should have thought
About you and I
Acted before we thought
Now I think all the time
Now I think all the time
I wish we hadn’t made love
An Afterthought
An Afterthought
Oh…
Bridge:
It was such a big mistake!
No, I don’t even remember
The point I was tryin’ to make
I wasn’t thinkin’ straight, ohhh
Chorus:
Acted before we thought
Now nothing’s goin’ right
Should have thought (We should still be together)
Now I’ve got a one-track mind
Acted before we thought
Instead we said goodbye
Should have thought (No I don’t even remember)
About you and I
Acted before we thought
Now nothing’s goin’ right
Should have thought
Now I’ve got a one-track mind
I wish we hadn’t made love
An afterthought
An afterthought
I wish we hadn’t made love
I wish we hadn’t made love
I wish we hadn’t made love

Count The Ways
Written By by Rehya Stevens
I’ve got somethin’ that I’ve got to say baby
I can’t control these thoughts
from tuggin’ at my mind
It seems to me we’re spinnin’ worlds apart lately
And it just ain’t right
So baby just in case
You may have been curious
I don’t like this phase
It’s been takin’ its toll on us
And I’ve been goin’ crazy
Longin’ to feel your touch
It may be a little hazy
So let me count all the ways why I love you so much
I love you cuz…
Chorus:
(Count the ways)
You happen to be the most incredible thing
Thoughtful and sweet
Like gentlemen ought to be
You sweep me off of my feet
The way you hunger for me
And show me respect so sensitively
(Count, count, count, count the ways)
You’re never jealous or mean
You never wanna be free
You don’t ever deceive or threaten to leave
So when I’m holdin’ you close
I know it’s for real
I’m free to reveal what every woman should feel, yeah
Hey Lover…
Won’t you let me take you in my arms sweetheart?
You give me butterflies whenever you come near
I can’t pretend it’s happening
when we’re far apart baby
I got to make my love clear
So come here
Baby just in case
You may have been curious
I don’t like this phase
It’s been taking its toll on us
And I’ve been in a daze
Dreamin’ about your touch
Yeah you can call me crazy
Because I gotta count all the ways why I love you so much
I love you cuz…
Chorus:
(Count the ways)
You happen to be the most incredible thing
Thoughtful and sweet
Like gentlemen ought to be
You sweep me off of my feet
The way you hunger for me
And show me respect so sensitively
(Count, count, count, count the ways)
You’re so romantic and wild
You’re the genuine kind
And when you give me your smile,
I’m so happy you’re mine
When I’m here in your arms
Your love is tender and warm
I can never resist your sweet innocent charms
(Count the ways)
It’s everything that you are…oh…
(Count, count, count, count the ways)
Count all the ways why I love you so much
Count all the ways why I love you so much
Count all the ways why I love you so much
You’re the man that I want (Count the ways)
Oh, you’re the man that I want, yeah
Don’t stop don’t stop
(Count, count, count, count, the ways)
There’s something I want to show you now
Count, count, count, count the ways
Count, count, count, count the ways

Careless
Written by: Rehya Stevens
I’m sorry
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m sorry
If you want to stand your ground
I didn’t mean to be careless with your heart
I’m tryin’
To do what it takes to love you
I’m giving
Everything I have
But my love has been with you from the start
I never thought you would take this thing to heart
Chorus:
Hear me out
Here and now
Hear me say…
“You’re my heart, you’re my life, you’re my fate”
I just can’t let you go
But I want you to know either way
I was careless and human
But damned if I’ve ruined
The one thing that matters to me
That matters to me
I’m sorry
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m sorry
I know that I’ve let you down
And knowing how much I did is the hardest part
I only hope that you’ll take these words to heart
Chorus:
Hear me out
Here and now
Hear me say…
“You’re my heart, you’re my life, you’re my fate”
I just can’t let you go
But I want you to know either way
I was careless and human
But damned if I’ve ruined
The one thing that matters to me
That matters to me
Bridge:
I know now
What I couldn’t see back then
Tell me how
I want to make amends
Chorus:
Hear me out…
Here and now
Hear me say…
“You’re my heart, you’re my life, you’re my fate”
I just can’t let you go
But I want you to know, baby
I was careless and human
But damned if I’ve ruined
The one thing that matters to me
That matters to me
And you matter to me
You matter to me
You matter to me

I Could Get Used To You
Written By Rehya Stevens, Jeff Cohen
and Michael Ochs
You showed up
And you showed me devotion
Didn’t rush me
Or play my emotions
Heard me speak
When I needed you to listen
What did I do to deserve you baby?
You see me
You know me
Seducing me slowly
Chorus:
I could get used to you doin’ me right
I could hold onto you the rest of my life
Day after day, night after night
I could get used to, get used to you
Doin’ me right
Right….
When we met
I denied the attraction
But you broke down my defense
Then it happened
One last question
I can’t help but asking’
What did I do to deserve you baby?
You see me
You know me
Embracing me wholly

The Story Of Us
Written By Rehya Stevens & Larry Antonino
It’s been a long time
Since I’ve felt such chemistry
You put your hand in mine
And I feel like I could float away
Underneath the stars
Talkin’ and kissing
Boy, this is the start
Of sweet reminiscing
Pre Chorus:
About the old diner
Where we use to meet
Closin’ it down in the summer heat
Or that high when
We kissed for the first time
Or that night on
The old porch swing
Over the sounds of the crickets singing
Confiding until the morning light
Chorus:
This is the story of us
Of how I became yours and you became mine
This is the story of us
Along the way we’re gonna love to rewind
This is the story of us
Of how I became yours and you became mine
This is the story of us
With only a happy ending in sight
It’s been hard to find
Somebody who understands
Confessions flow like wine
Intimately at our command
Whispering in the park
So no one can listen
Authentic as we are
Boy, we make a picture
Pre Chorus:
At the old diner
Where we use to meet
Closin’ it down in the summer heat
Or that high when
We kissed for the first time
Or that night on
The old porch swing
Over the sounds of the crickets singing
Confiding until the morning light
Chorus:
This is the story of us
Of how I became yours and you became mine
This is the story of us
Along the way we’re gonna love to rewind
This is the story of us
Of how I became yours and you became mine
This is the story of us
With only a happy ending in sight
Bridge:
Full of butterflies
All the passerby’s say
“Awe, look at how they play”
If clouds hover in the sky
Oblivious are you and I
We’re Safe
We’re Safe
Together
Together
We’re Poetry
Pre Chorus & Chorus Simultaneously:
At the old diner

A Little Bit Of Rain
Written By Rehya Stevens and Larry Antonino
I love the touch of your hand
More than you know
I want to be in your plans
There’s so much that I don’t tell you
But not because I don’t care
If you only knew the lengths that I’ll go
To fight the magic that’s in the air
Chorus:
When the wind blows, I shut the windows
Before a little bit of rain will fall
I want paradise, but even there half the time
There’s a good share of rainfall
There’s not much to gain, by keepin’ it sane
But I’m still tender as a baby doll
So you scare me like hell when you love me so well
Cuz I don’t want to need love at all
No, no. no
I love the words from your mouth
Oh…
Making’ me vulnerable now
See, I’ve had this fear since the first time I held you
Of the sting from a cut so fine
So, all my extremes and emotional undoing
It’s not happening in your mind
Chorus:
When the wind blows, I shut the windows
Before a little bit of rain will fall
I want paradise, but even there half the time
There’s a good share of rainfall
There’s not much to gain, by keepin’ it sane
But I’m still tender as a baby doll
So you scare me like hell when you love me so well
Cuz I don’t want to need your love at all
Bridge:
Well, if I had it my way I would feel no pain
No triggers going off like crazy
The sun would stay up
I could fall in love
Not question everything that you’re saying
I hear what you’re saying…
Chorus:
When the wind blows, I shut the windows
Before a little bit of rain will fall
I want paradise, but even there half the time
There’s a good share of rainfall
There’s not much to gain, by keepin’ it sane
But I’m still tender as a baby doll
So you scare me like hell when you love me so well
Cuz I don’t want to need your love at all
No, no no
I don’t want to need you…
Because you scare me like hell when you love me so well

Oh, I hate
To break it to you on the first date
But I’m afraid
Somebody’s got to set you straight

When you talk about women
You’re really trippin’ there soldier
You ought to check that tunnel vision

Get backfire from their lowly ploys

You can’t reduce every female
To fit that box you want to give ‘em, no…
C’mon baby, hit me with the details
I sense some information missin’

Once Upon A Time
Written By Rehya Stevens & Larry Antonino
A rainy night
Is nostalgic weather
I caught the five
I missed the seven
Now and then you’re here again
My favorite memories are of you and I back then
Chorus:
Makin’ love in the rain to your old 45’s
Missing the train all November
That night on the roof on the 4th of July
That really big fight in September
That ended so nice
Once Upon A Time
Once Upon A Time
When you were mine
Yellowed with years
Old love letters
And photographs
Of the two of us together
Never have I had love like yours and mine
No, never have I been moved quite like that time
Chorus:
We made love in the rain to your old 45’s
Missing’ the train all November
That night on the roof on the 4th of July
Leaving the world far behind
Among the fireflies
Once Upon A Time
Bridge:
Time flies
It can blur the years gone by
But in my heart
That spirit survives
And burns in me always
I remember you…
Chorus:
Of making love in the rain to your old 45’s
Missing’ the train all November
That night on the roof on the 4th of July
That really big fight in September
Making love in the rain to your old 45’s
Missing’ the train all November
That night on the roof on the 4th of July
Leavin’ the world far behind
Among the fireflies
Once Upon A Time
Once Upon A Time (Yeah, Sometime I Rewind To Once Upon a Time)
Once Upon A Time
Once Upon A Time
Once Upon A Time (Missing’ The Train All November)
Once Upon A Time

The Mean Time
Written By Rehya Stevens and Larry Antonino
Monday Morning Situation
Does it have to be
Suspended here in isolation
Suspended in the in-between?
Six degrees of separation
Will we ever meet?
Spending all my education
Waiting in send and receive
Chorus:
These days it feels like
we’re living’ in the mean time
Isn’t anybody present?
Who is anybody?
Impersonal communication
that we hide behind
It’s got it’s benefits, I guess
You can’t take it personally
Can’t cut and paste a soul in a square
So you sign off with a cliché “Take Care”
You’re not over here, you’re not over there
No, you’re in the mean time
Tuesday morning aggravation
Confusion in the lead
Looking for some affirmation
His decision to take it or leave
Chorus:
These days it feels like
I’m living’ in the mean time
Isn’t anybody present?
Who is anybody?
Impersonal communication
that we hide behind
It’s got it’s benefits, I guess
I can’t take it personally
If I could cut and paste my heart in a square
He’d sign it with a cliché “Take Care”
Well A face to face might make him play fair
So, he stays there in the mean time
Bridge:
We’re all living together
In a state of guarded protection
Is this progress made for the better
Or is it regression?
A generation made up go-getters
In pursuit of the professions
All I know is it seems like we’re
In need of human connection
Where has the human touch gone?
We’re in the mean time
We’re in the mean time
This Time It's Over

This Time It’s Over
Written By Rehya Stevens and Steve Rawlins
Another night finds you home
And well meaning friends
Have all but gone
He’s gone away
Left love behind
And all you can do
Is wonder why
Chorus:
And where do you go
When you’re left to the silence?
And how can you know
When the answers will come?
And why should you wait
For someone to return?
When do you finally realize
Wake up and open up your eyes
This Time it’s Over
The empty space so sad and absurd
Full of sweet memories
And angry words
And there’s nothing quite
Quite like regret
It’s so hard to forgive
So hard to forget
Chorus:
And where do you go
When you’re left to the silence?
And how can you know
When the answers will come?
And why should you wait
For someone to return?
When does your heart admit the truth
It’s not just a phase he’s goin’ through
This Time it’s Over
Bridge:
And nothing would change even if he could see me now
And all that remains, is all that remains
Just space and time, saying goodbye
To all that I held so dear
It’s so suddenly quiet here
Chorus:
And where do you go
When you’re left to the silence?
And how can you know
When the answers will come?
And why should you wait
For someone to return?
When do you finally realize
That there’s just no room for compromise?
And that’s not love you’re seein’ in his eyes
This Time it’s Over
Mmmhmmm
This Time It’s Over
