The Sweet Remains

First thing 6 AM you roll over and watch the day begin, its so beautiful

That’s the time when lovers meet, filled with kisses and whispers between the sheets

Its so wonderful

I know you’re running late and the deadlines at work they can’t wait

But I can think of better ways to spend the day

How much time has passed, well, its hard to tell

You hit the snooze, we both fell back asleep, so predictable

You say your boss will know you’re missing

You being naked makes it hard to listen

I know you’re running late and the deadlines at work they can’t wait

But I can think of better ways to spend the day

Why must you go?

Despite every bone in your body telling you no

Sometimes its best to listen

Listen to your body’s intuition

I know you’re running late and the deadlines at work they can’t wait

But I can think of better ways to spend the day

I know you’re running late and the deadlines at work, well they’ll have to wait

Cuz I can think of better ways

I said I can think of better ways

I got some plans for us today

“I got a lot to give you”

Was the first thing that I

Thought in the moment

That you caught the light

You were just a stranger the moment before

Just a face in the by

I was just a dreamer out drifting alone

And never dreaming that I…

DON’T BREAK THIS MOMENT

Cause I know what I want now,

And all that I want,  is you

DON’T BREAK THIS MOMENT

Cause I know what I’ve got now

And all that I’ve Gotta do..

Is show you the home that you made in my heart

And your place in my soul

I know now you lived in it right from the start

I was never alone

I never did believe in

the man in the moon

Or all of those old stories

of fate and fortune

But I made my way here without knowing what

I was making to find

And I just found everything that I got

In the blink of an eye

DON’T BREAK THIS MOMENT

Cause I know what I want now,

And all that I want,  is you

DON’T BREAK THIS MOMENT

Cause I know what I’ve got now

And all that I’ve Gotta do..

Is show you the home that you made in my heart

And your place in my soul

I came such a long way to get to this part      

So I won’t let you go.           

Oh, I Said I don't believe/  In a Love at First Sight

But That was before I could See/ And now I realize

That Every moment,  Before this moment

It was only, Leading up to you….

DON’T BREAK THIS MOMENT

Cause I know what I want now.

And all that I want is you

DON’T BREAK THIS MOMENT

Because ALL that I want is you

…Don’t break it, Don’t break it,

Don’t break, Don’t break this moment now,

…Don’t break it, Don’t break it,

Don’t break, Don’t break this moment now

We were walking down on Broadgate Hall

Purple hat and your cashmere shawl

The broken skies turn gray

Bus stops squeals and telephone wires

Cafe lights on the Christ Church spires

Somewhere we lost our way

It’s time we turned this ship around

Ohhh, I know I know I know

It’s been too good for way too long to say goodbye

English rose, Scottish thistle

Words won’t change me but a goodbye kiss’ll

And that love light in your eyes

Cobblestone streets like a Hollywood set

A black & white movie that I can’t forget

Been too good to say goodbye

Looking back on a fading photograph

On a walk by the boats where I made you laugh

There in my mind, I go from time to time...

Ohhh, I know I know I know

It’s been too good for way too long to say goodbye

Heyyyy, I mean every word I say

It’s been too good for way too long to say goodbye

It’s been too good for way too long to say goodbye

Baby I want you say stay don’t say goodbye..

Heyyyy, I mean every word I say

It’s been too good for way too long to say goodbye

Rich says: "This is one of those songs that came really quickly, once I had that first line. I was getting ready to head out on tour, and I was excited for the adventure but dreading being away. Sometimes I find some good songs in the midst of that sort of tension. The bridge is straight autobiography- I left college (in New England), started pursuing this dream in New York City, then followed a southern girl down to Virginia and, when I proposed, gave her my great-grandmother's diamond ring. The chord progression fits the lyrics, I think, because there are some dark and moody moments in there but, ultimately, hope (and a major chord) prevails..."

Chorus: D-G- C-D-G

Bridge: Am-D-C-G-D

Verse:

 Oh when you're gone the night is cold as it is long

And the hurt that made you humble, wanna write about

Is the love the made you crumble from the inside out

And I believe in a new day to comethat it's always darkest before the dawn

CHORUS:

Moving in slow motion, baby Still I’m moving on

Verse 2:

Oh I can see there ain't no magic words that set you free

Still I'm hoping you are gonna take me as I am

Even though I am a fool and such a stubborn man

And I believe in a new day to comeThat it's always darkest before the dawn

CHORUS:

Moving in slow motion, baby Still I’m moving on

BRIDGE:

I left new england for the city life

Oh I got songs I wanna sing

Went down Virginia got a country wife

Gave that country girl of mine a ring

Yeah I gave her my grandma's diamond ring

Verse 3:

Oh I can see there ain't no magic words that set you free

Still I'm hoping you are gonna take me as I am

Even though I am a fool and such a stubborn man

And I believe in a new day to come

That it's always darkest before the dawn

CHORUS:

Moving in slow motion, baby Still I’m moving on

Brian says:

"This song is fairly autobiographical...written after seeing an ex-girlfriend for the first time in a long time.  Unlike your typical "love song" this song is less about trying to woo and more about being at peace with an old love."

Verse: A9 Em G A9

Chorus: A9 Em G D

Bridge: D/E G x 2 D D/E G

A9 Em G F A Em G

Verse 1:

Hello dear it’s been a while

You still got the smile that stops me in my track

And you’re wearing your hair a new way

It’s not my taste but you’re beautiful anyway

Chorus:

I think I’m writing a love song for you

And I’ll sing it out even if you walk away x 2

Verse 2:
Ain’t it funny who you meet on the street
After so many years it feels like yesterday
And I’ll stay here as long as it takes
Til I fall flat on my face and you just walk away

Chorus:

Bridge:
I think I’m writing a love song And I’ll sing it out

I think I’m writing a love song And I’ll sing it out

And I’ll sing it out X 4

Alt Chorus:

Hello Dear, its been a while, but you still got the same smile that stops me in my tracks.

Greg says: "I started singing the chorus to this tune to myself as I was riding my bike around NYC one day. It was shortly after we started the band and I realized it was ripe to be "rgb"-ified, as we called the process of arranging for the band back then. The opening lyrics came sometime later at a low point in the DIY renovation of my fixer-upper house... I was longing to be finished, but of course nothing is ever finished, so we need to take the dance breaks when we can... After we arranged it in a key that worked best for the chorus harmonies, the intro became too low for me to sing-- thus Richie sings the intro on the CD..."
