Bright eyes
Marlo Hower-Lyrics, Mark Minges - Music Hey you with the bright eyes
 can you see inside my soul
 cuz if you do all my secrets would be known you'd know I fell in love with you
 with the very first glance
 maybe you'll love me too 
I say we take the chance Oh you're gonna love me
 ooh your gonna love me, love me
, love me, love me 
I don't always know the right things to say but I can't stop myself I tell you anyway 
if you lay your hand on my heart
 after you turn the lights down low
 can you feel the magic in the moment 
if you do you won't let go Oh you're gonna love me, oooh you're going to love me love me love me love me
 Hey you with the bright eyes
 we can be the perfect storm
 just say you love me baby and we can do no wrong Oh, you're gonna love me, oooh you're gonna love me love me love me love me Copyright © 2019, 2020 Marlo and Mark

Broken Girl 03:49
Broken Girl Marlo Hower - Lyrics, Mark Minges - Music She stood in the doorway Watched her mama leave Doesn’t shed a tear But wears her heart on her sleeve Too young to understand What made her mama walk away And the burden of that choice A heavy weight every day She’s a broken, broken girl But she doesn’t have to be Oh oh, how do I help her see How do I help her see How do I change her mind She was the broken one not the girl Not the girl she left behind Put that drink down Change your life, stand tall I am right here by your side Yes I’ll catch you if you fall Broken girl the sun will rise so get some rest Take the steps to rise above Your mama’s mess Oh, her life, her life is such a mess She’s a broken, broken girl But she doesn’t have to be Oh oh, how do I help her see How do I help her see How do I change her mind She was the broken one Not the girl she left, not my girl she left behind You’re not broken, broken girl You’re not broken, broken girl Not a broken, broken girl You’re not a broken girl Copyright © 2019 Marlo and Mark

Under Your Skin Marlo Hower - Lyrics, Mark Minges - Music Keep your head down, hide inside Cuz if you don’t they might just find The sadness that is lurking Under your skin Go outside into the rain To hide the tears upon your face So they don’t see the fear That’s hiding within It’s under your skin, it’s under your skin Your thoughts are the poison keeping it in It’s under your skin It’s under your skin You hide behind a painted smile It keeps you safe all the while So they can’t see the pain That’s hiding within You laugh though you just want to cry Sometimes not knowing the reason why The fear has gotten so deep Under your skin Nobody ever told you that it’d be so hard inside your head You’re fighting your demons and feeling this dread It’s under your skin, it’s under your skin Your thoughts hold the power, the fire within It’s under your skin It’s under your skin And then one day she saw the tears She wipes them gone with all your fears She held you tight, so you knew You weren’t alone Now what’s underneath your skin Is the strength you knew you had within You’re not alone You never were Your head held high And your heart intact And knowing someone’s got your back There’s nothing left but hope Under your skin Copyright © 2019 Marlo and Mark

Will You Stay Lyrics - Marlo Hower, Music - Mark Minges She’s got a secret she can’t keep Her life will change your both in deep Whoa Whoa Whoa You’ve been in love since long ago And fate has led you here to grow And you will grow She’s probably really scared of what you’ll say If you truly love her will you stay She loves the life growing inside Pieces of you both she fills with pride She will not run away But will you be the man she needs Can you set aside your fear Hold her close, be near She’s probably really scared of what you’ll say If you truly love her will you stay Oh, do you love her Then you will drop down on one knee Tell her of the future you see You’re perfect love affair You know you’d never walk away Pledge your love say you’ll stay You won’t ever leave And now she knows just what you’d say You vowed to love them every single day And she knows now what you say You vowed to love them every single day Copyright © 2019 Marlo and Mark

Don’t Let Me Go Marlo Hower - Lyrics, Mark Minges - Music We found each other And never looked back A love story more intense Than Romeo and Juliet And I beg you, don’t let me go Don’t ever let me go I need to breathe you in more now Than I ever did before Let’s stay lost in this deep love It’s deeper than the ocean floor I don’t need to see the surface Keep me here, I must have more And I beg you, don’t let me go Don’t ever let me go We’re everything we need The food for each other’s soul You are my life line Together we feel like home This is a real love baby The best we’ll ever know And I beg you, don’t let me go Don’t ever let me go I need to breathe you in more now Than I ever did before Don’t let me go - (twice)

Clarity Marlo Hower - Lyrics, Mark Minges - Music Straw hat, on my head Sitting in a chair on the beach Soft breeze sand in my toes The warm summer sun slowly melting me Is this a well known secret Or one that I should keep The beach can bring you clarity That you just might need Peace in my head not a care in the world All is well with my soul Too bad I found this place so late Missed a lot of years to just sit and contemplate Is this a well known secret Or one that I should keep The beach can bring you clarity That you just might need Oh hell I think I’ll tell the world Cause we can all use a little help getting back on track After all we’re only human And we can all get a little out of whack Is this a well known secret Or one that I should keep The beach can bring you clarity That you just might need So pack a towel or a chair and I’ll see you on the coast We’ll line up along the beach with coolers we will toast To the beauty of this happy place where we let our troubles go A big smile on my face and sand between my toes Is this a well known secret Or one that I should keep The beach can bring you clarity That you just might need We’ll let our troubles leak into the bluest sea And they will float away beyond where we can see By the time we leave, they won’t have made it back This place is our Prozac The beach gives you everything you need ……..It gives you clarity Copyright © 2019 Marlo and Mark

You Found Yourself Marlo Hower - Lyrics, Mark Minges - Music Knock on our door In the middle of the night They said our boy was gone, that he’d, He’d boarded a flight We ran to his room Just to prove them wrong But we couldn’t because our, Our son was gone No one knew the secrets that dragged you down You left a note Beside your bed, it read I’m trying to find myself I need to clear my head Your life was broken Your head a mess You struggled with addiction You later would confess How did we get here How’d we miss the signs Such darkness closing in We prayed you’ll be alright No one knew the secrets that dragged you down No one knew the secrets that dragged you down It took so many years but You found your way Back into our lives And now you’re hear to stay No one knew the secrets that dragged you down No one knew the secrets that dragged you down Now we know the secrets that dragged you down No more secrets to drag you down Copyright © 2019 Marlo and Mark

Pretty Little Lies Lyrics by Marlo Hower Music by Mark Minges The words you spoke shot daggers in the air tips filled with a venomous rage And my pretty little lies try to save the day And my pretty little lies, what do they really say Left with wounds wounds more painful than the others 
because these words were spoken between two blood brothers how did you let these words 
have this much power my pretty little lies try to save the day 
so my pretty little lies, what do they really say, what do they say on this path, there is destruction you must fight to recover
 it's time to bring it all back 
to the love for your brother and my pretty little lies, they try to save the day my pretty little lies what do they really say
 pick up the fragments of all that is broken
 piece them together like words remain unspoken my pretty little lies saved the day
 my pretty little lies knew just what to say they knew what to say

Where Did We Go Wrong Lyrics - Marlo Hower, Music - Mark Minges We were going so strong, for awhile, and now we’re not My heart skipped beats, when you smiled, now that’s gone We were on this merry go ride We go round and round and round Where did we go wrong Oh, It all feels so wrong We played games with each others hearts It went too far, it went too far Now we’re in pieces , torn apart Oh, we went too far We can talk until we’re blue in the face But we can’t seem to find a way back to that place That place where we were in love So instead we cling to the past And try to hold on tight, when nothings left We’re on this merry go ride We go round and round and round Where did we go wrong We played games with each others hearts We went too far, we went too far Now we’re in pieces, torn apart Oh we went too far We search and we pray and we fight for the memories But we don’t know what we’re waiting for It’s really time for goodbye, there’s no way to settle the score Cut our losses, move along into the night, let’s finally, finally. Finally do what’s right We rode the merry go ride We went round and round and round After it all went wrong We played games with each others hearts We went too far, we went to far Now we’re in pieces, torn apart Copyright 2019 Marlo and Mark

I walk into this somber room Grim lines upon their faces While they begin a story I do not wish to hear But I sit and try to listen When you wake up I will still be here My love for us will never disappear But if I’m left on earth without you Please, watch over me Please, watch …over me We’ve watched you fade From what was to what will be Now we hold on tight To all our memories Too painful to say goodbye So we say we’ll see you again If you wake up I will still be here My love for us will never disappear When I’m left on earth without you Please watch over me Please watch …over me The space that’s left behind After you’ve gone Nothing will fill it in I will miss everything about you Why did life have to end When you look down I will still be here My love for us will never disappear And now I’m left on earth without you And I know you’re watching me I know you’re watching over me

Packing up boxes it’s time for a change Sad to say goodbye but our memories remain Of this place where together We made the most beautiful life You were happy then I was happy then We had land in the woods That looked over the lake Where our hopes came to life And our dreams they took stake We built a house and we filled it With family and friends So together we could live Our best life, oh it was the best life And the kids were all wild They forged bonds made to last For years it transpired just as we desired And our home filled with laughter and joy and so much love You were happy then I was happy then The fires in the pit Could be seen up to Mars There were races to catch the most fireflies in jars All of these moments forever etched in our minds You were happy then We were happy then And now we have moved on to a new foreign land Where the people come together and offer their hands Before you know it your family Has grown in the blink of an eye We are happy now We are happy now And we’re as happy now in a new kind of way No longer sad to say goodbye To those good old days Or to the place where our lives truly began We are as happy now, as we were back then We are as happy now, as we were back then
