Had To Say Goodbye I found out this morning I don’t have much time to live And without warning My eyes began to mist I can only think of losing you Not being able to hold and kiss you Then I see you And see that you’re in this too Our eyes lock And the pain flows on trough I’m confused I don’t want it to end So confused why must it end (Chorus) I knew one day we had to say goodbye, my love But I’m not ready to fly, away And call it just a day I want to be with you always Don’t let them take me away I’m so afraid to close my eyes As we sit across from each other this night Know I love you in case I don’t say it tonight It’s so strange this could be my last night And wake up to the glorious light (Chorus) Music 1/28/2020 Words 1/30/2020 By Manny and Debbie Cortez

30 Pieces of Gold It was a stormy night You were feeling bad It seem like the world was going mad You couldn’t see any way out So you called on him and made a deal You gave your soul it was a steal 30 pieces of gold is all he gave to you 30 pieces of gold is all he gave To come and take your soul away 30 pieces of gold is all he gave to you 30 pieces of gold is all he gave To come and make a slave of you 30 pieces of gold is all he gave to you The morning came with the sun light You realize you lost the fight And there’s really not much that you can do So you prayed real hard For someone to help you But no one came to your rescue you 30 pieces of gold is all he gave to you 30 pieces of gold is all he gave To come and take your soul away 30 pieces of gold is all he gave to you 30 pieces of gold is all he gave To come and make a slave of you 30 pieces of gold is all he gave to you Words and Music Manny & Debbie Cortez 1/6/2021

Seems To Me Seems to me that yesterday the world was doing fine We were all living life one day at a time Even though not all was right we knew were we would stand Everything changed so fast, no one was in command Day after day we heard that the virus was in charge It took away many lives and left many scars The order came to fight right back and take back our lives But others had other ideas and stuck us with a knife Now all has changed They say nothing will ever be the same They’ve learned to control Soon we all will be lost souls Words & Music By Manny & Debbie Cortez Words 2/14/2021 - Music 3/29/2020

Find His Way Home I met this clown On the street He had this thing going Where people all around would meet He eyed all the ladies One by one Even though he’s married He would always pick one But he can’t find his way home Though his lady sits home alone No he can’t find his way home Alone, alone He sits at work Acting like a jerk Always trying to find the next lady For his belt But his own lady Sits alone Knowing that he’s always Trying to find the next girl to call his own But he can’t find his way home Though his lady sits home alone No he can’t find his way home Alone, alone Words & Music By Manny & Debbie Cortez Music 2000, Words 1/6/2021

When I Was Young Cuando era joven Nuestro mundo era tan diferente Salimos a jugar Corriendo la calle hasta la noche En la tarde Nosotros nos sentamos con la familia a comer la comida A mirar el television Y a gozar con la familia Cuando era joven Salimos a bailar En la casa de amigos y a gozar Pasndo el tiempo bailando Vacilando , gozando toda la noche Ahora paso el tiempo solo agui viejito Todos mi amigos ya se fueron Agunos se murieron pero en mi Corazon siempre se quedan Y siempre estoy pensando en ellos Cuando era joven Nuestro mundo era tan diferente Salimos a jugar Corriendo la calle hasta la noche Words & Music Manny and Debbie Cortez 8/12/2020

I Saw You From the first time I saw you I knew that I had to be with you Did’t want to have Anybody but you And the first time I knew that My heart belonged to you But something felt so strange And I found out the truth You were holding somebody else I saw you I couldn’t believe my eyes I saw you All the dreams that we dreamt were a lie I saw you Now I feel so low that I could die I saw you From the first time I knew that You had broken my heart Endless nights I have spent What made you break my heart? No reason were given Nothing much more to say It’s time to move on I’ll be going my way You were holding somebody else I saw you I couldn’t believe my eyes I saw you All the dreams that we dreamt were a lie I saw you Now I feel so low I could die I saw you Words & Music Manny & Debbie Cortez 8/10/2020

Above The Setting Sun You sit by the ocean And watch the setting Sun Knowing I am with you Evan though my life is done You can still hear my voice on the phone Evan though there’s no one there But I’ll be watching above the setting Sun The mist of the ocean Embraces your face You cry and you laugh out loud It’s was something I said How you wish we can talk again And be face to face But I’ll be watching above the setting Sun Just remember always When you’re feeling like you’re done Call my name out loudly And I’ll guide the warmth of the Sun Build you up again So you can face what you must face Remember that I’m always with you Words & Music Manny & Debbie Cortez 1/31/2021
