DON’T YOU LET GO OF ME Like hell it don’t matter; you never could tell me The things that you needed to say Whatever the reason you’re always avoiding I wish there some other way Just how many times have I said it before and I’ll probably say it again? (Chorus) But I know what you’re thinking Yes I’m sure that you’re leaving Don’t you let go of me Don’t you let go of me tonight So why am I reaching for something so faint Well I thought it was time to respond You think that it’s easy to know what you want Like I just wave some magical wand So what if I told you what you wanted to hear would it really make a difference? (Repeat chorus) (Bridge) This is it; don’t you see that you can’t have it all? Might as well brace ourselves, we’re headed for a fall And I used to think, we could get back in synch But it’s gone I don’t need reminded just how I should feel But apologies can’t be resolved You’re hurting me more by resisting the truth All the times you hung up when I called And maybe for once I’m reluctant at best when I know that it’s all I have left Still I know what you’re thinking Yes this time you’ll be leaving Don’t you let go of me Don’t you let go of me Don’t you let go of me tonight Words and music by Scott Zartman  2017 Minstrel Man Music

YOU JUST DIDN’T LEAVE ME ANY OTHER CHOICE I never noticed before that is until just now When you come close and into view The way your eyes seem to sparkle almost hypnotize I’m in a trance, what should I do? Please don’t tempt me if by chance you haven’t really thought it out At this moment I’m so helpless yet I never had a doubt (Chorus) You just didn’t leave me any other choice You just didn’t give me any other choice I’m in love with you more, more than ever before You just didn’t leave me any other choice I knew the moment we met you wouldn’t get away For just this once I’m falling fast No matter how hard I try my heart cannot resist Our time has come, you’re here at last Don’t just stand there looking innocent you planned this all along It was never my intention but I guess you proved me wrong (Repeat chorus) When these minutes turn to hours and you’re holding me so tight Just remember I’m as guilty cause’ I wouldn’t say goodnight (Repeat chorus) Words and music by Scott Zartman  2017 Minstrel Man Music

WHAT LOVE IS THIS You’re there when I need you, you make me complete But somehow my feelings are masked I wanted your hand from the moment we met If only I knew how to ask (Bridge) And when I least expect it, I’ll know for sure Until it finally happens, I’ll want it more (Chorus) For now, what love is this? That makes me whole and worth the kiss If you, could be my wife And promise me you'll share my life The times that I cherish when you’re by my side I miss you the instant you leave I don’t need forgiveness but I’m still a fool For wearing my heart on my sleeve And when I tell myself that I shouldn’t wait The longer this goes on I, might hesitate (Repeat chorus) For now, what love is this? That makes me whole and worth the kiss If you, could be my wife And promise me you'll share my life To hold you in my arms and never let go The time has come to chance it, I think we know Repeat chorus Words and Music by Scott Zartman ©2017 Minstrel Man Music

IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME Why does it hurt? Why should you care? You treat me like all of the others who’ve been here before But I’m the one who’s still there Look at us now, where has it gone? If you stare deep in my heart you keep pushing away you’d see I… I’m still holding on (Chorus) And what if I locked you away from the rest of the world So you promised to always be mine And if I could love you forever would I let you escape Can’t you see? It’s only a matter of time Maybe I’m wrong, that’s what I pray And while I’ve been clinging to hope when it’s all said and done You won’t just throw it away One of these days, I guarantee Consider the times in your life when you needed it most You’ll find, it’s always been me (Repeat chorus) Words and music by Scott Zartman  2017 Minstrel Man Music
5.
ROCK AND ROLL FOREVER We stand united, all together in the name of rock and roll It’s time to get this party started and lose our self-control We get excited in the moment when the band first hits the stage Let’s get this place a little louder and break out of our cage (Chorus) We live to rock, those who just can’t do without it Raise up your hands (hot, hot…hot) Right here, right now, show us what you’ll do about it Come one, come all Rock and roll forever This one’s for all the metal heads let the band know how you feel It’s time we get a little crazy show the world that we’re for real (Chorus) We live to rock, those who just can’t do without it Raise up your hands (hot, hot…hot) Right here, right now, show us what you’ll do about it Come one, come all Rock and roll forever Words by Scott Zartman Music by Martin Moxness ©2017 Minstrel Man Music

ANYWHERE WITH HIM Don’t try hard to persuade me Don’t dare think it’d be easy I know just what you’re thinking Why not see what you’re missing Show me how you feel Get behind the wheel and drive (Chorus) I don’t care where we go as long as it’s not here Put this on cruise control and let me help to steer Whatever happens I’m just dying to get lost Oh tonight I would go anywhere with him, anywhere with him Don’t try not to convince me This already seems crazy Your eyes might be misleading But right now that’s what I’m needing Do just as you please You can have my keys, just drive (Repeat chorus) There’s no need to tease You can have my keys, just drive (Repeat chorus) Words and music by Scott Zartman  2017 Minstrel Man Music

Be My Father 04:38
BE MY FATHER Came to this truck stop up on I-91 As close to lost and found as I could get I saw a young boy peeking through the front door Like a statue he stood there And it seemed nobody cared He’s just another of this county’s throwaways Desperately seeking somewhere warm and safe His clothes outnumbered by the avalanche of snow When I said this meals for free Then he came and sat with me And he said… (Chorus) Please let me be known How I long for someone so I’m not alone Love me like your own Won’t you be my father, come and take me home He told me stories, things I didn’t want to hear The past and present nowhere left to go A passing sniffle through the tears he covered up Till the food was close in sight Then he prayed with all his might And he cried… (Repeat chorus) (Bridge) I never knew that he was homeless at first All the time I denied that it was really the truth I reminisced about my childhood days But what I saw in his eyes…was a misspent youth To think those dreams he had might never come true I didn’t know what to do nor could I just let it be Oh Lord, it’s time I made a difference in life (in him) For the boy in the man is a reflection of me And soon the moment came to go our separate ways He thanked me for the meal that warmed his soul Somehow I knew right then I had to make a choice So I offered nervously I could use some company Would you like to come with me? And he smiled… Words and music by Scott Zartman  2017 Minstrel Man Music
9.
A LITTLE FAITH You’ll see, things will work out fine Don’t fret, just give it some more time Seems like you’re still so afraid I bet that soon we’ll have it made (Chorus) And you know that it’s still worth fighting for Can’t you see that I am sure; all we need Is a little faith Hang on; we’re not finished yet That’s right, I won’t let you forget Somehow things will turn around I swear I’ll never let you down (Chorus) Just believe that our hearts will see it through Not a chance it won’t come true, all we need Is a little faith Who says the both of us aren’t scared Trust me I think we’re almost there Promise that we’re not giving up I’ll be your rock when the times get tough (Chorus) Reach for me if you cannot hide your fear When in doubt I’m always here, all we need Is a little faith ‘Cause you know that it’s still worth dying for With each day I love you more, all we need Is a little faith Words and music by Scott Zartman  2017 Minstrel Man Music

So Badly 04:04
SO BADLY Time can be estranged So many things can go astray and then there’s you… What have I done? I don’t deserve to be this loved and needed (Chorus) You want me so badly You just can’t do without me I see it, I feel it In every kiss you’re stealin’ Open your heart Come to my arms and hold me tight Love, who really knows? When it’s for real or if it’s just illusion You took all the pain And hurt away forever I am grateful (Chorus) (Bridge) I can’t believe I was so blind, I never noticed it before until just now Our lives get complicated busy and sophisticated but somehow, somehow Time can be estranged So many things can go astray and then there’s you… That makes my world Go round and round The greatest gift you’ve given (Chorus) I want you so badly Was lost until you found me Forever and after Fill me with love and laughter Open your heart Come to my arms and hold me tight Words and Music by Scott Zartman ©2017 Minstrel Man Music
11.
IN MY DIRECTION I can’t put into words The moment we met But I knew it then Eyes that captured my soul Without my consent Yet I let him in How I wonder if he feels the same way Cause I could use a reason to stay (Chorus) Guilty of my intention Cautious of his deception I can’t offer anything but love And he’s exactly what I’m dreaming of Moving under detection But in my direction Na, na, na na na na na Na, na, na na na na na I can only just stare It’s so obvious I’m sure that he knows He could flash me a smile Whatever it takes To see where this goes Like a thief he keeps on stealing my heart And I’ve been giving in from the start Repeat chorus Then he secretly replies through his grin And now I know I’m falling for him Repeat chorus Words and Music by Scott Zartman © 2017 Minstrel Man Music
12.
YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY ONE Tell me if you think this love seems lost We have to save it fast so we can make it last Heaven help us please at any cost Let’s have some urgency; let’s take it seriously So what comes next if this is where we’re at? How do we intend to ever get it back? (Chorus) Please don’t keep it to yourself You’re not the only one I’m hurting just like you When we think to run away It doesn’t change a thing We have to see it through Maybe we were foolish all along It’s gonna’ take some prayer for God to get us there Someone tell us where did we go wrong If we could try again, recapture way back when Suppose we’re just a disappearing act How do we intend to ever get it back? (Repeat chorus) And if we’re left to just accept the fact What do we expect could ever get it back? (Repeat chorus) Words and music by Scott Zartman  2017 Minstrel Man Music
13.
WHEN BLUE AND BROWN EYES MET If love is blind how can it be? You are so beautiful to me Some might scoff but we know that it’s real These hearts entangled and entwined There’s just no doubt left in my mind Can’t explain just how he makes me feel (Chorus) When did we notice? Well I guess it was just love at first sight What were we doing? I remember it was magic that night It was more than just fate, it was destined to be There’s a reason why I couldn’t forget It was forever, when blue and brown eyes met We walked by moonlight holding hands Those falling stars had other plans One by one we kissed with tenderness With each and every passing breath I’ll give you all that I have left Promise me we’ll share this happiness (Repeat chorus) Words and music by Scott Zartman © 2017 Minstrel Man Music
14.
Come To Me 04:25
COME TO ME I know its morning, time to wake up Open my heart wide; see if I’m tough enough To share this feeling I could be lying, maybe it’s true But I’ve been to heaven and no one comes close to you And now I’m reeling Course I’m maybe just dreaming, I’m still in a trance I’m crazy for trying though (Chorus) Hurry now (Oh won’t you hurry now) We are free (I think that we are free) Love is ours (Tonight this love is ours) Come to me (Why don’t you come to me) Lost in the moment, here by your side A chance of a lifetime I see within your eyes It’s all or nothing We’re getting closer than ever before Can’t take it lightly now that I love you more It’s gotta’ be something But I feel like I’m missing the best yet to come I don’t want to let you go (Repeat chorus) Hurry now (Oh won’t you hurry now) We are free (I think that we are free) Love is ours (Tonight this love is ours) Come to me (Why don’t you come to me) I want you (Oh how I’ve wanted you) Turn the key (Unlock and turn the key) We are one (Forever we are one) Come to me (I know you’ll come to me) Words and music by Scott Zartman © 2017 Minstrel Man Music
15.
OPEN TO SUGGESTION I count the minutes till the moment that I’m holding you And when we’re closer I can tell you feel the same way too And all I know is I just can’t sleep And I cannot live…without you When I’m with you it’s almost like the time is standing still Without a doubt I know my life has finally been fulfilled (Chorus) So baby won’t you come lie with me; and don’t say a word Just turn out the lights, cause’ I’m open to suggestion Yes I’m open to suggestion The passion lingers and we cherish every single kiss Forever after I’ve been blessed to have you grant my wish (Repeat chorus) So baby won’t you come lie with me; and don’t say a word Just turn out the lights, cause’ I’m open to suggestion Yes I’m open to suggestion And when tomorrow comes don’t make me wait another day I’m so afraid sometimes you’re gonna’ take it all away Why can’t you see that I just can’t sleep? And I cannot live…without you Oh promise me we’ll be together to the end of time And let me know when it’s all over you will still be mine So baby won’t come lie with me; and don’t say a word Just turn out the lights, cause’ I’m open to suggestion I’m open to suggestion Words and music by Scott Zartman  2017 Minstrel Man Music

Flicker 03:16
FLICKER Would I dare to move in really close? All the times it seems to matter most I long for that tenderness Have you noticed what you’ve done to me? How I come undone so easily Each time I’m simply outguessed (Chorus) Those flames inside our hearts keep burning on They almost flicker Is it love that keeps us satisfied? When those feelings just can’t be denied If only they could be tamed When in doubt you know just what to do Well-rehearsed and always right on cue With my emotions contained (Repeat chorus) Words and music by Scott Zartman  2017 Minstrel Man Music
17.
I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU Look to the sky, may you find refuge There is a place, a home you’ve been seeking You can just rest a while till our savior comes for your heaven now awaits (Chorus) Who knows for sure when it stops hurting? Time heals the pain; that much is certain We have said goodbye but I will not leave you Sleep in thy peace, the angels are singing Walk on the path that now seems familiar May you find com fort in our God’s open arms with the journey he requests (Repeat chorus) (Bridge) Here is a rose I will plant in your garden So memories can blossom again Longing once more when we both are together And rainbows will never have end I miss so badly my friend Sail with the winds and follow the sunset That which you touched echoes a new day Now that the Lord has blessed you with afterlife and our loss has been reclaimed (Repeat chorus) Words and music by Scott Zartman  2017 Minstrel Man Music
