Deep Down Love
03:00

Its so hard to know the truth
When you come from a land of lies
I’m digging in my pockets
For my good luck butterfly
Tell me where the tear is
Open up and watch me bleed
Wonder where the care is
Never had a soul to keep
To Keep this deep down love
Jealous eyes that I see through
Makes me wonder, when will you decide
Never telling you the truth
The angels wait for your reply
We’ll love you where the tear is and
Help you to believe
Hear you where the care is
You’ll have a soul to keep
To Keep This Deep Down Love
Free me from the silence
Pull me to the stars
Love let no one ever see
The wounds inside of me
Someone’s telling me the truth
I’ve been waiting for him for all my life
But everyday I want some proof
Like a child’s screaming fears inside
He loves me where the tear is
Helps me to believe
No one ever cared this
Very much for me
I’m Deep in Deep Down Love

April Dreams
03:40
|

I heard that love was coming
I saw it in a dream
Never knew I’d find it
On empty childhood streets
I fought for love unanswered
I fought to tell the truth
Ran clear out of answers
Running after what was through
Forever grateful after
This chapter holds the key
A little lonely fire burning
Might come true for me
For mighty love
For mighty love
For mighty love
Might come true for me in April dreams
Closing up the family
I’ll never see again
The holiday’s that no one gave me
Gifts that make amends
But now my face is shining
For my dearest friend
Is clearing up the anger
Helps me understand
Forever grateful after
This chapter holds the key
A little lonely fire burning
Might come true for me
For mighty love
For mighty love
For mighty love
Might come true for me in April dreams

Morning noon and night I hear you calling
Picking up the pieces of my soul
Like a summer rain that sees me falling
Every summer day to me is cold
So cold
Warm and wicked
Where his kiss is
Get home and give me love
Come swinging through the door your all I’m dreaming of
Can’t go on thinking of
Life without out you just won’t do
Give me love
Every souvenir is near me waiting
Tainting up the tears that tear my soul
Every hour I’ll spend with you embracing
Movin through the years in afterglow
Warm and wicked
Where his kiss is
Get home and give me love
Come swinging through the door your all I’m dreaming of
Can’t go on thinking of
Life without out you just won’t do
Give me love

Yesterday's Replay
03:59
|
|||
|
At last I found you
A chance to make my world change
Unwound and wound up
Hearing all those voices saying
You’ll regret believing in true love
He will fall and tear you down
He will lust for other dreamers
Living in a mirror figure
Hide me from this memory of
Yesterday’s replay yesterday’s replay
Hide me from
Yesterday’s replay
Yesterday’s replay
My joy surrounds you
The play is on a real stage
My world confounds you
A suitcase full of heartache hitting
Hurting all the hope I’ve locked away
I’ll take a fall and tear me down
Planet spinning, understanding funny how I
Found my best friend
While I’m running through
Buried battles
Where the shots of shame relieving
I’m forgiving now …..
Yesterday’s replay yesterday’s replay
Hide me from yesterday’s replay
Yesterday’s replay
Yesterday’s replay
Yesterday’s replay
Hide me from Yesterday’s replay
Yesterday’s replay

Best Day
02:55
|

|
I had the best day today
I had the worst day today
It’s all about tears and fears in this life
It’s all about waiting and wondering
Why we laugh why we cry
Why we die
I felt the touch of your hand
All through the waves and the sands
Your kingdom’s forever and ever amen
Someday you’ll tell me why
Why we laugh why we cry
Why we
Love I should have held it in
To give a heart again
Will only break again
Song is slowly coming in
Make it right again
Here we go my friend
Here we go
This kind of day I have dreamed
And two in one we will be
I’ve waited forever and ever to see
How joy it can happen
Happen to be my time to laugh time to cry
Time to Rise
I had the Best day
Today.

Sweet Talk
03:18
|

|
Criticism
A friend to witticism
Praising at the gaze, and the last remark you made
Honey just like husband and wife overnight, overnight
Believe him when he’s walking, but watch him when he talking…
Keep him at a kiss his compliments resist
Don’t’ let your heart follow through….
Cause it might be talk
But is sure is sweet
Sweet talk to me
Sweet talk to me
Might be the wine
Skipping up a beat
Sweet talk to me
Sweet talk to me
To me….
Nervous system God help me when I’m with him
Sleep inside for days like a cyclone in a cage
He’d rather risk the wrong over right over right over right
Believe him when walking but watch him when he’s talking
Keep him at a kiss his compliments resist
Don’t let your heart follow through…..
Cause it might be talk
But is sure is sweet
Sweet talk to me
Sweet talk to me
Might be the wine
Skipping up a beat
Sweet talk to me
Sweet talk to me
To me….

Perfect Little Girl

Perfect little girl
With treasure tales
For sale
She packed her life away
Locked her up
Got her stuck now she’s paying everyday
She held her dolls and followed clouds
That tripped along the playground
Round she found
Merry little girl with locks and curls
Look into my eyes
I’ll tell you this kind of play is ok
But don’t say we met this way to anyone in your
In your
Perfect little world
Is closing down inside the lock and key I hide
Clicking on the smile
The door is dark he chose and no one ever knows just
Stay here for awhile
Dropping now the dress
Where other girls confessed
Wearing their very best little girl face
Its out of place in this place
Disgraceful is the taste I waste I wanna be home again
With my very best friend
She’s my
Perfect little girl

Waited A Lifetime
03:26
|

|
My baby tells me
He’s gonna be fine
Gonna erase all the pain away
Letting go of years
Shedding those tears
Of realism
Getting outta prison
He says I’m blessed and I’m shiny and brave
Giving love giving love to the grave
Thought that love was never heading for me
Coming round the corner is my destiny
Oh he’s mine
Waited a lifetime waited a lifetime
Oh he’s fine
Waited a lifetime waited a lifetime for love
Been down the crossroads with persuasive kinds
Carried away like a title wave
Giving up the trust
Confused by a cool crush
A star distraction
His favorite kind of passion
Gone for good all the thieves and their craves
Giving love giving love to the grave
New that love was always heading for me
Coming round the corner is my destiny
Oh he’s mine
Waited a lifetime waited a lifetime
Oh he’s fine
Waited a lifetime waited a lifetime for love

Loving For Loves Sake
03:34
|
|||
|
Loving for Love’s sake
Giving for Pete’s sake
Sharing the sweet fate
Of loving for loves sake
If your thinking of heartbreaks
Thinking of too lates.
Living in hell hate
You’re not loving for loves sake
If you’re looking for rebates
Or glamorous cheesecakes
Superior we race
You’re not loving for loves sake
Just think in the sunshine
All of your lifetime
Remember the glory of the first nursery story
You ever heard
No one said a word
That it wouldn’t come true
I’m loving for loves sake
Giving for Pete’s sake
Loving for your loves sake
Caution’s at your gate
Cause I’m loving for love’s sake

Denise La Grassa Chicago, Illinois
The release of The Flame marks another milestone along Denise La Grassa’s ‘North of 40’ journey that began in 2022 when the
singer/songwriter looked deep inside and challenged herself with:
“Can a woman … say ‘North of 40’ … still follow her dream of returning to Europe to perform with her new band and rootsy sound?”
