THE GREATEST GIFT Lyrics...Laurie Costoso Coen Music...Mark W. Costoso Cradled In my arms, my love, I feel your energy Imagining all that you'll become, the possibilities Watching, waiting, wondering as you gently, softly breathe Investing all my love in you. You are a gift indeed A heavenly gift sent to me on earth bringing all that's meant to be CHORUS The Greatest Gift was given me for what I do not know Forever thankful for this gift. With this gift, my love will grow The Greatest gift was given me for what I do not know Lashes flutter, fingers twitch, your eyes dart here and there Caress your cheek and kiss your nose, stroke your silken hair I can't believe you are my child that I could possibly Have created something such as you, a miracle to me A heavenly gift sent to me on earth bringing all that's meant to be CHORUS Who knows what awaits you in this world. You have just yet to see That you are part and parcel of our human destiny Some say our future is set by fate, some say it's a mystery Actions do speak louder than words. To do, yes, is to be So, grab up just as much as you can. Give even more and you will see That what you get is what you put in, a wealth of memories A heavenly gift sent to me on earth bringing all that's meant to be The Greatest Gift was given me, now I think I truly know What love can do, what love does mean, how love from love can grow The Greatest gift was given me for what I do not know (c) 2021 Cosmark Music

Gina 05:56
GINA Lyrics...Michael McKasty Music...Mark W. Costoso Loyalty can be so downright foolish Best friend's girl or not The girl that I was seeing then She had a name, but I forgot Panting red lips, platinum blonde hair Soulful eyes of emerald green So curvaceous, so outrageous And skin of milk maid cream I was a fool to turn down Gina She is my only regret I was a fool to turn down Gina It weighs heavy upon me yet 'Cause you know I'll never find a lady Oh, so beautiful, so hot I was a fool to turn down Gina And it tears me up a lot Last chances, only memories I think I'm gonna scream If I knew then what I know now I'd have played it differently I was a fool to turn down Gina She is my only regret I was a fool to turn down Gina It weighs heavy upon me yet 'Cause you know I'll never find a lady Oh, so beautiful, so hot I was a fool to turn down Gina And it tears me up a lot (c) 2021 Cosmark Music

Younger Man 06:32
YOUNGER MAN Lyrics...Michael McKasty Music.......Mark W. Costoso I shared your rainbows, I shared your blues As far as love goes, I paid my dues Now you're leaving for a younger man Frankly, baby, I don't understand I loved you gently and I loved you sweet Now you're telling me I just can’t compete with your CHORUS Younger man, he has your attention Younger man, I just thought I'd mention I can give you anything You're getting from your younger man When I was young, you rode me just like a horse Now that I've mellowed, it's please get lost Now you're headed for that younger dude I find your goodbye just a little crude He does one thing that I'd never do He treats you like you just turned 22, he's your CHORUS Who wee, baby, you know it's such a sin To trade my understanding for his softer skin You know, my darling, you're not being very fair After all, I'm not just meat and hair like your younger man I'll be waiting when you're dumped on by your younger man When the boy says, "Those little lines around your eyes are sort of getting to me" I'll be here (c) 2021 Cosmark Music

RESURRECTION, Part 1 Lyrics...Laurie Costoso Coen Music.......Mark W. Costoso Happened again like I knew It would You said never again like you knew you should Angry words thrown like rocks and stones Verbal spears flung hard meant to pierce through my soul Hands that hold me so sweetly Transformed and like sledgehammers beat me How many times do I have to bleed How long must I beg, cry and plead How many times Spiteful eyes filled with jealous fears That have beaten me down for so many years That gaze of disgust erupts again Pour salt on the wounds, burn the hurt and pain Those same eyes in a moment of regret Stream with tears, fall like rain so heavy and so wet Can taste the salt in your tainted kiss Pressed hard against my bloody swollen lips How Many Times Happened again like I knew It would You said never again like you knew you should Make me believe I'm the one to blame Just a prisoner held hostage by your past pains To stay for love or to leave for fear Cried so many times I've run out of tears How many times do I have to bleed How long must I beg, cry and plead How many times How many lies How many cries How many times (c) 2021 Cosmark Music

RESURRECTION, Part 2 Lyrics...Laurie Costoso Coen Music...Mark W. Costoso It seems like years I've finally grown Beyond the gate of the unknown As proof my track record has shown My circumstances such to moan Feeling futile like I'm dead Just helpless pray caught in a web I'm paralyzed, no chance to move And utterly misunderstood Pleading just to be released So desperately in need to cease And suddenly the tide has turned The fire within me still does burn CHORUS Just to smile again and laugh a little I'm no longer lost deep in the middle I've reclaimed my place among the living Now the clouds have passed I'm now believing In tomorrow one again The future calls me loud and clear And now I answer free of fear A shining star It beckons me So brightly lit it reckons, see Blessings bought with patience dear Gifts received through sweat and tears It seems like years since I have known Within myself I'm finally home CHORUS (c) 2018 Cosmark Music

Salt Hay 07:40
SALT HAY Lyrics.…..Cricket Cohen Music.......Mark W. Costoso Was bright eyed and looked good and caught the groove of his day Smart enough to build a reputation, make it last and make it pay And so today a perfect antique house with his antiques throughout and In the garden salt hay His beautiful wife here with his collection After 10 years, chooses to walk a different aisle, she no longer makes the connection Two decades younger than this man, the man with the empty smile who puts Salt hay in his garden CHORUS He met success in his early years And now in his garden he puts salt hay People sometimes can conquer, can conquer the gloom Lonely years with too many seasons Now after refinishing the bedroom Once again, he doesn't question his reasons and covers the ground with his salt hay CHORUS With business as usual at his antique shop, he remembers the past as a series of successes Relatively good life leading to his Hampton spot The old golden retriever no longer chases birds and cats running through their lot Squirrels hiding in the garden with no traces beneath the blanket of salt hay Tonight, he takes out his antique silver soprano sax Sounds of melodic improvisations soak up every surrounding tree And passers by will hear some magic, the magic he still holds But he is alone now, alone with the sound he breeds Like the earth and its solitary, solitary moon shining And darkened sky reflecting on the salt hay in his garden CHORUS (c) 2021 Cosmark Music

SWEET SURRENDER Lyrics and Music....Mark W. Costoso Sometimes you're just a little out of touch When life is just a little bit too much You need a place to lean your head upon Well baby, there's a place where you belong Sometime you need a little love to share Sometimes you need to show how much you care So when you're with the one you're thinking of Take the time to fill your need for love CHORUS Sweet Surrender....Girl, I'm wanting you We got the time for what's on my mind So baby, don't you feel it too Sweet Surrender....Girl, I need you near The feeling's right and we've got all night So babe, lovin' time is here I think about the warmth of your embrace When I close my eyes, I see your face After all the changes we've been through Still got a kind of crazy love for you CHORUS I wanna be the sun that lights your day I wanna be the star that guides your way I hope that I'm the one you're thinking of Whenever you feel the need for love CHORUS (c) 2021 Cosmark Music

Wanderlust 04:21
WANDERLUST Lyrics...Laurie Costoso Coen Music...Mark W. Costoso Look, see, over there It's looming ever still See, look, over there Just beyond that hill Someplace, Somewhere Restlessness is in my blood Wanderlust is what I would follow any day Wanderlust is calling me Drawing me so far from here Though here is still so dear to me And you, my dear, I know are here In my heart you'll always be Somewhere, Someplace Restlessness is in my blood Wanderlust is what I would follow any day Wanderlust is calling me I know this all seems so unfair A betrayal, yes, I’m guilty But look, see, over there What might could be is calling me Keep me near to yours, my dear Your love lets me be me For this, my love, I am ever grateful Your love has set me free Someplace, Somewhere (c) 2021 Cosmark Music

NEXT TIME I'M IN TOWN Lyrics.....Michael McKasty Music.....Mark W. Costoso I left you something on your doorstep in the dark. You were on your run through the streets and the rough the park. I arrived too late, all the bottles had been spent. The party was in clean up. I got too busy making rent. So I left you something on your doorstep in the dark. CHORUS We can be so careless how we grind the decades down. Something's always missing every time you turn around. But I really hope to see you The next time I'm in town. I have this shoebox full of photos and the like. It's a little journey, a little leap, a little hike. Came in too late, all the bottles had been spent. The party was in clean up. I got too busy making rent. So I left you something on your doorstep in the dark. CHORUS I can see you smiling looking just like endless Spring. I can remember the joy and comfort you would bring. I arrived too late, all the bottles had been spent. The party was in clean up. I got too busy making rent. So I left you something on your doorstep in the dark. CHORUS So this is just to say, Only want to say I think of you so often, really, always, always think of you. And this is just to say, only want to say. Next time, I'll be early, really, really early, early, really The next time I'm in town (c) 2021 Cosmark Music
