Good Evening

Good evening... I figured if we gonna do it
Then we might as well do it in style
Good evening... And if I may say so
Good god what a beautiful crowd, lemme hear it now
Ladies, what up, Gentlemen, what up
And again, what up, and again, what up
Couldn't imagine better people to be with
Ladies and gents, good evening
May I say that it's a pleasure to be with y'all
Actually more like a treasure to be with y'all
Actually it's something better than treasure
More like a beautiful blessing beyond measure to be with y'all
Dreamed about it for years, both asleep and awake
Just hoping to sneak a peek at your face
And here we are now.. Feel like everything is finally right
Yeah, it's gonna be that kind of a night, listen
Now I see you lookin good, better work that
You know I put that on god, where the church at
So many goodlooking people in one place
I just needed a second to get my words back
Please pardon me for my tardy arrival
But I knew that y'all would keep the party alive
I know tomorrow might be dark, but tonight'll be marvelous
And I wouldn't trade it for every star in the sky, so good evening
Good evening... I figured if we gonna do it
Then we might as well do it in style
Good evening... And if I may say so
Good god what a beautiful crowd, lemme hear it now
Ladies, what up, Gentlemen, what up
And again, what up, and again, what up
Couldn't imagine better people to be with
Ladies and gents, good evening
Its been real y'all, gotta be on my way
I need a good night's sleep, I had a long ass day
You know that I'm playing, homie you that I'm staying
Until I play every song I play
Take your card to the bar, go and leave it there
Run it up a couple hundred, we don't even care
Put your phone down and kick it with your real friends
Everybody that matters is in the building
Kind of a big deal, huh
This room lookin pretty well lit for real, bruh
Every face is familiar, and none of them blue
From up here, it's a wonderful view
Everybody working hard with the rollers and curlers
Just to make your eyes light up like the glow of a pearl
I know tomorrow might hurt, but tonight'll be perfect
And I wouldn't trade it for all the gold in the world, so good evening
Good evening... I figured if we gonna do it
Then we might as well do it in style
Good evening... And if I may say so
Good god what a beautiful crowd, lemme hear it now
Ladies, what up, Gentlemen, what up
And again, what up, and again, what up
Couldn't imagine better people to be with
Ladies and gents, good evening

Now you know I seen many moons (many moons)
Say me say many many many
But I ain't never seen any... like
This particular moon, this particular moon
I said you know I seen many moons (many moons)
Say me say many many many
But I ain't never seen any... like
This particular moon, this particular moon
What a show to get tossed in
What a glow to get lost in
It's something I don't say often
And maybe it's the champagne talking
But you know I seen many moons (many moons)
Say me say many many many
And I ain't never seen any... like
This particular moon, this particular moon
Oooh, damn babygirl look at you
Shinin in the night lookin fresh and brand new
Oooh, make everybody look good too
Bright light everywhere tryna peek through
Oooh couple clouds on you but you wear it well
Beauty unparalleled from any parallel
I know we spoke just last night but I been
Waitin for you to come back around like a carousel
Hope you diggin how the music sound
Always a little prettier when you around
Makin everybody act crazy,
Go'n head, Let it out, throw it up, shoot it down
Lemme step out from under the ceiling
Just so I can look up and catch a wonderful feelin
I know I seen you a million times
But every night still feels like one in a million, girl
Now you know I seen many moons (many moons)
Say me say many many many
But I ain't never seen any... like
This particular moon, this particular moon
I said you know I seen many moons (many moons)
Say me say many many many
But I ain't never seen any... like
This particular moon, this particular moon
What a show to get tossed in
What a glow to get lost in
It's something I don't say often
And maybe it's the champagne talking
But you know I seen many moons (many moons)
Say me say many many many
And I ain't never seen any... like
This particular moon, this particular moon
Sent you a invite, didn't know if you'd show
I just stood there, holdin the door, what a dummy, right?
And then the clock kept tickin and my heart kept sinkin like a hole in a boat
Wasn't meant to be, c'est la vie, I guess fair enough
All alone in the parking lot, starin up
And then suddenly the clouds went runnin
And a glow so stunnin came down, baby there you was
Like I could never imagine
Steppin out in your very own heavenly fashion
You was hiding out biding your time
And then provided the shine we been ready to bask in
Always been there when I need a friend
I could write you a whole opera, wouldn't need a pen
I'm just happy that my people got to see you this evening
And by the way, when you free again?
Now you know I seen many moons (many moons)
Say me say many many many
But I ain't never seen any... like
This particular moon, this particular moon
I said you know I seen many moons (many moons)
Say me say many many many
But I ain't never seen any... like
This particular moon, this particular moon
What a show to get tossed in
What a glow to get lost in
It's something I don't say often
And maybe it's the champagne talking
But you know I seen many moons (many moons)
Say me say many many many
And I ain't never seen any... like
This particular moon, this particular moon

Go on, go on
Pardon me for the time it took for me to write the song
Go on, go on
Believe me, I know your days are hard and your nights are long
Go on, go on
Do whatever you want now, cause y'all deserve to shine
Go on, go on
Anybody sayin anything different ain't worth your time, now
I'm a fool, I know
I ain't stupid though
Let the truth be told
Wanted you to know
Every single woman and girl
You are all the gold in the world, ladies come on
Where do I start
I be the corazona organ donor, sharing my heart
I tried to pour it on the chorus for you
Sort of embarrassing, but yo, hear me out before you tear me apart
I had to put a little ink on paper to show you how I feel
I didn't think I'd be letting the whole fountain spill
I didn't think I'd be letting all of these bars go
But either way here we are so
To all the ladies in the place, love you to smidgens
To all the fellas in the place, yo shut up and listen, now
Before you step up into her space
Just remember who brought your ass to this party in the first place
And I ain't perfect but I'm working on it
Trying to be a standup guy, keeping it ergonomic
You could either just scribble it superficially
Or be civil enough to exhibit a little chivalry
Ladies I know are an inspiration to say the least
Navigating through a hateful world gracefully
I only made the beat so you could get to cutting a rug
Cause I ain't got nothing but love eight days a week
This ain't no played Richie Cunning song
This is a every woman that made Richie Cunning Song
Hum along for every time you've been fronted on
Cause the bounce back gonna be something strong, cmon
Go on, go on
Pardon me for the time it took for me to write the song
Go on, go on
Believe me, I know your days are hard and your nights are long
Go on, go on
Do whatever you want now, cause y'all deserve to shine
Go on, go on
Anybody saying anything different ain't worth your time, now
I'm a fool, I know
I ain't stupid though
Let the truth be told
Wanted you to know
Every single woman and girl
You are all the gold in the world, ladies come on
To my mama, Reina Rosalita
And to Laura and Becca, my primas favoritas
Abuelitas Mimi and Rita, Tia Margarita, Lolo and Isa
Anna Sofia and Julia
Pato, Montse and Lala
Peaches and Ash, my two little hermanas
Can't forget Mo-ski, Robin, yes, Jess and Renee
I got your back for life in each and every way so hey
You can take it however it seems
You can dress it up like its special or just let it be seen, and
No disrespect to the rest of the team
But we just men in the presence of queens, know what I mean
What can I say, I don't make the rules
I just try to soak up the game and never play the fool
Either way, I 'm just happy that I could make it through
Just so I could get up on this microphone and say to you
Thank you for helping me become a man
Thank you for showing me that this life is something grand
Thank you for teaching me love, grace, humility, and
Strength in the face of ugliness and hostility
This ain't no played Richie Cunning song
This is a every woman that made Richie Cunning Song
Hum along for every time you been fronted on
Cause the bounce back gonna be something strong, cmon
Go on, go on
Pardon me for the time it took for me to write the song
Go on, go on
Believe me, I know your days are hard and your nights are long
Go on, go on
Do whatever you want now, cause y'all deserve to shine
Go on, go on
Anybody sayin anything different ain't worth your time, now
I'm a fool, I know
I ain't stupid though
Let the truth be told
Wanted you to know
Every single woman and girl
You are all the gold in the world, ladies come on

Salutations

Salutations folks, I'm your gracious host
And I'd just like to take a moment to make a toast
No famous quotes, no tasteless jokes
Just raise your glass like its your last, ain't no way to know
Here's to the days we do, here's to the days we don't
Here's to the days that we walk out on the stage and choke
Here's to the sunny days that still leave our faces soaked
Here's to my favorite folks that make my heart ache the most
Here's to everybody hopin to escape their ghosts
Here's to all the wrong ways to cope
Here's to you and what you gotta do to make your boat stay afloat
Plus an inflated coat, just in case it don't
Ups and downs, life is like an elevator
But every trip to the basement feels like the brakes are broke
A card table in a wave of smoke
Play it close to the chest, jack, don't ever let your aces show
Even when fate has erased the last trace of hope
Even when you pavin a road with no place to go
The story ain't over until the last page is wrote and
A love song is all talk til you play the notes so
Salutations folks, I'm your gracious host
And I'd just like to take a moment to make a toast
No famous quotes, no tasteless jokes
Just raise your glass like its your last, ain't no way to know

Top it off, top top it off
Go and top it off, top top it off
Salud baby, Kanpai, Mazel Tov
Just top it off, top top it off
Look, we ain't worried what the bottle cost
So go and top it off, top top it off
Matter fact, take a break and leave the bottle, boss
While we top it off, top top it off
Let me tell you bout this one time
Well, I mean I guess it was a couple times
Well actually, more like three or four, maybe even more
Pretty sure I lost count at a couple times
Nevermind, that reminds me of a different story
Before I bore ya, pour some more up in my snifter for me
Used to sip a forty, now we sit and order so maturely
And we can afford to tip accordingly
Before we address the blessings in life
Forgot what I was saying, but I bet it was nice
Anyway, you know we drinking something real real special tonight
Yeah, real respectable like, you heard
A second refreshment? I second that, yes in fact
Let me get back to what I was getting at
We don't get another round at life
So we gonna have another round tonight, I know you feel me come on
Top it off, top top it off
Go and top it off, top top it off
Salud baby, Kanpai, Mazel Tov
Just top it off, top top it off
Look, we ain't worried what the bottle cost
So go and top it off, top top it off
Matter fact, take a break and leave the bottle, boss
While we top it off, top top it off
Long bar with a beauty at the other end
Toast from afar, we trade a couple of glances
No splash, sipping old fashions in a cold glass
Drinking til there's two of her so I double my chances
You know I'm just kidding, we ain't got time for that
Now lets get these cocktails shaking like a diamondback
What you laughing about, get the fancy glasses out
Salt the rim up and let me get a slice of lime attached
Now we cooking with fire
Finding our footing in some goodlooking attire
Believe we can sink a few, just a couple nincompoops
Enjoying the ride and can't decide what we drinking to
You want another one?, yeah I could mess with that, yes in fact
Let me get back to what I was getting at
We don't get another round at life
So we gonna have another round tonight, I know you feel me come on
Top it off, top top it off
Go and top it off, top top it off
Salud baby, Kanpai, Mazel Tov
Just top it off, top top it off
Look, we ain't worried what the bottle cost
So go and top it off, top top it off
Matter fact, take a break and leave the bottle, boss
While we top it off, top top it off

More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love that I give to you alone
More than the simple words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day
More than you'll ever know
My arms long to hold you so
My life will be in your keeping
Waking sleeping laughing weeping
Longer than always is a long long time
But far beyond forever you'll be mine
I know I've never lived before
And my heart is very sure, no one else could love you more
More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love that I give to you alone
More than the simple words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day
More than you'll ever know
My arms long to hold you so
My life will be in your keeping
Waking sleeping laughing weeping
Longer than always is a long long long time
But far beyond forever you'll be mine
I know I've never lived before
And my heart is very sure, no one else could love you more

Wishing Well

Last night I threw a coin in a wishing well
And all that I could think of was to wish you well
I know I ain't supposed to tell nobody bout it
So do me one and make like I didn't tell
Yea, I threw a coin in the wishing well
I threw a coin in the wishing well
You know I threw a coin in the wishing well
And all that I could think of was to wish you well
Yeah, left my house with a hundred dollar... bill
Hit my cornerstore to break it up a... lil
Iced tea and a pack of gum
Asked Renata how she doin, she said doin... chill
Walked out hopin she was being... real
Maybe I worry too much, but you know
Everybody got some hurt they ain't showin
And do whatever they gotta to the keep they thing goin like
Saw the youngblood Thomas in the parking lot
Kickflippin and itchin to show me all the bars he got
Broke him off a 10 spot to spit it
Ayo the kid gettin nice, someday he gon make a party rock
Hopped on the 7 for fun
Even though we only salute the 71
Paid up, took the corner seat up in the very back
Sat down, stared out the window thinkin where you at
Last night I threw a coin in a wishing well
And all that I could think of was to wish you well
I know I ain't supposed to tell nobody bout it
So do me one and make like I didn't tell
Yea, I threw a coin in the wishing well
I threw a coin in the wishing well
You know I threw a coin in the wishing well
And all that I could think of was to wish you well
Had a ok dinner at your favorite old... spot
Waiter was wack, but I tipped his ass a... lot
Stepped out into the cold air
And thought about the bummy jacket that you always used to... rock
Hit all the bars that we used to hit
Well, you know they all got different names now
Silly me, can't remember which one is which
I guess it's been a while since I came out
I know I'm funny right
I had a couple for ya, guess I'm one tonight
Ran into a lost one on the N track
Gave him all I had left, asked for a penny back
Told him... I need this for a friend of mine
Found myself a fountain and then let it fly
Watched it catch the moon and then sink in
Walked home broke with a smile just thinkin
Last night I threw a coin in a wishing well
And all that I could think of was to wish you well
I know I ain't supposed to tell nobody bout it
So do me one and make like I didn't tell
Yea, I threw a coin in the wishing well
I threw a coin in the wishing well
You know I threw a coin in the wishing well
And all that I could think of was to wish you well

Forget Me Not

Been a pleasure but it's time to go
Hope I meet you somewhere down the road, baby
Forget me not, now
Good times ain't made to last
Nothin left to do but raise your glass, baby
Forget me not, now
So here we are at the curtain call
I wish I had a smooth line, but you heard em all
Guess I was foolish for thinkin the day would never come
But I'll be damned if it ain't gon be a special one
So go and find you a table to put your glass on
And tell the band slow it down for the last song
Give me your hand, let me show you some moves
I promise not to step all over your shoes
You know I'm a fool for you wearin a dress
And I clean up ok, but underneath I'm a terrible mess
I know that life is a one way street
But I pray to the stars the two of ours could someday meet
I know it's... not a guarantee, more like a if and when
But I would wait a lifetime to feel like this again
Anyways, go on, I hear your destiny callin
But don't you go forgettin me darlin
Been a pleasure but it's time to go
Hope I meet you somewhere down the road, baby
Forget me not, now
Good times ain't made to last
Nothin left to do but raise your glass, baby
Forget me not, now
Been a pleasure but it's time to go
Hope I meet you somewhere down the road, baby
Forget me not, now
Good times ain't made to last
Nothin left to do but raise your glass, baby
Forget me not, now
Dear love, how's life since I knew you last?
Man, how long has it been, I couldn't do the math
I just stumbled on some old pictures of us and I
Choked up and chuckled thinkin bout the fun we used to have
Those were my happiest days, I hope they wasn't yours
I like to think since then you've had a couple more
Oh me? Still writin songs but I got no one to sing em to
And there ain't a day that I don't think of you
Lord knows it's some things that I didn't say
I don't remember how I let the moments get away
And please forgive me if I couldn't look in your eyes
I never was good at goodbyes, but
Anyway, I know it's hard gettin through the years
So I wrote you this song as a souvenir
Truly yours, P.S. - I would wish you the best
But I'd be lyin cause I only wish you were here
Been a pleasure but it's time to go
Hope I meet you somewhere down the road, baby
Forget me not, now
Good times ain't made to last
Nothin left to do but raise your glass, baby
Forget me not, now
