4293 Park Ave
I hail from 4293 Park Avenue, Bronx New York
I hail from 4293 Park Avenue, Bronx New York
I hail from 4293 Park Avenue, Bronx New York
Started playing,
With Gil in the band
Singing songs all night long
Then came
John Ray Colon
Got me learning and playing new songs
“The Lovin’ Pack” was born
I started writing my new songs
“The Velvet Soul”, Stole the show
So much success we started to grow
I hail from 4293 Park Avenue, Bronx New York
I hail from 4293 Park Avenue, Bronx New York
My brother Smokey
Changed it all
A Latin beat was now installed
“Bad News” and “Ocean”
Wedged in between it all
“Cortez “came back
For a final run
Such a Great band, so much fun
Then the last
Band that played
Was “Street The Beat” who ended it all
I hail from 4293 Park Avenue, Bronx New York
I hail from 4293 Park Avenue, Bronx New York
I hail from 4293 Park Avenue, Bronx New York
I hail from 4293 Park Avenue, Bronx New York

You Hurt Me
You hurt me
And you don’t really care
In your eyes
You were just getting even
I know I’ve been wrong
I’ve done so many things to make you sad
But why should you fall
You were stronger than me
Now you’re tumbling like a weed
You hurt me
And you don’t really care
In your eyes
You were just getting even
I know that you
Say you love me forever and ever and a day
But I say to you
Why did you have to just fall?
You hurt me
And you don’t really care
In your eyes
You were just getting even

My Baby
Hey! I’ve got no money for my baby
But she still loves me
I give her everything for my baby
But she still loves me
I don’t know why she loves me
Why should I complain
So sweet love
Is ecstasy always -------Always----- Yeah
I kind of like my little baby
She always satisfies me
She moves around and drives me crazy
And you know I can see
That every move--- she makes
Is just for me alone
And all the love she gives
Always comes home, always comes home
(Scat)
I don’t know-------
Why she is ------
An angel sent from Heaven to me
And I will never know just Why, just Why
I love my baby, I love my baby,

My Dreams Came True

My Dreams Came True
My dreams came true, because you believed in me
My dreams came true, because of your love
My dreams came true, I still can’t believe it
My dreams came true, because of your love
I’m starring out the window pane
Gazing at the sky
Questioning my lifelong dreams
So many reasons why
Everything kept going wrong
Until you came to me
Now there’s no turning back
You gave me strength
So all could see
My dreams came true, because you believed in me
My dreams came true, because of your love
My dreams came true, I still can’t believe it
My dreams came true, because of your love
I try to keep the dream alive
Yet struggle through the years
How can I break through the walls
Carry on despite my fears.
Everything kept going wrong
Until you came to me
Now there’s no turning back
You gave me strength
So all could see
My dreams came true, because you believed in me
My dreams came true, because of your love
My dreams came true, I still can’t believe it
My dreams came true, because of your love

Willy Nilly
It was cold dark night all the goblins were out
Frankenstein and Dracula were walking about
I watched as they knocked on door to door
And took all the treats till there was no more
My parents said come on lets go
But I was shivering, not from the cold
I said please let’s just stay inside
Can’t you see that I’m just terrified?
They give me the
Willy Nilly, Willy Nilly
Willy Nilly, Willy Nilly
“Oh come on let’s go” was my parents cry
There’s no candy if you stay inside
The Ghost and Goblins are not real
So stop your crying, I’ll be on your heels
I built up my courage to go outside
Even though all the monster were walking by
I grabbed on to my parents hands so tight
I wouldn’t let go all through the night
They give me the
Willy Nilly, Willy Nilly
Willy Nilly, Willy Nilly

Baby I Miss You
You might think you understand
The loneliness that fills this man
And you’re so far away
But I need you oh so bad today
Chorus
Baby I Miss you
Baby I Miss you
Oh oh how I miss you
Baby I Miss you
Baby I Miss you
Oh oh how I miss you
Not a day does go by
When your face fills my eyes
Then I begin to break down
Till all I could do is cry
Chorus
One day soon we’ll find again
In each other’s arms till the end
But till that day I will pretend
That you are here with me again
