The Legend of My Life Words and Lyrics by Samantha Schultz © 2010 Samantha Schultz SOCAN There once was a girl Who would get wrapped up in any romantic world She fell in love for the first time But let me tell you ‘bout this guy He was all about the “me, myself and I” After him she began a quest for a man that was just right And all those years she swam through the tears that ran from her tired eyes And she was black blue from all that she’d been through and was ready to give up the fight But then she opened a door on a fateful night And I’ve been looking in all the wrong places for the right thing And I did it all wrong with how I went along with everything I’m gonna take the pain from back in the day and let it lie ‘Cause you make me feel like I’m gonna be alright Baby, you’re the legend of my life Now he was only a friend But we all know how stories like this end She fell in love, but in good time And let me tell you ‘bout this guy He was all about treating each other right And for him she began a love for this man that was just right And all those years she spent with broken men seemed worth the fight And you could hear her say how she loved the way that he loved her with all of his might And she would thank her lucky stars for him each night CHORUS Yeah you’ve slayed my evil dragons and you’ve freed me from this tower Yeah I have no doubt that you’ve gone all out and you hold me with this power This flower of love It’s the power of love CHORUS There once was a girl who was wrapped up in a lovely little world

SUNSHINE Words and Lyrics by Samantha Schultz © 2011 Samantha Schultz SOCAN You took my blue and mixed it up with red And it became this purple hue of affection What you do gets stuck so easy in my head It took two (me and you) to find perfection I was stepping on stones but kept slipping into water Fighting through flames, but it got hotter and hotter And the wind blew so hard as I walked that high wire Until you made me dizzy when you spun me right ‘round and said: Will you be my sunshine? You’re the color of love that I love Would you be willing to be mine? Sunshine, sunshine Oh Miss Beautiful, right beside you’s where I wanna be all the time I feel like I’m meant to fly in the light of your sunshine Sunshine I was falling apart – I’d almost lost my head But your gentle hands showed me the right direction You changed up my scene and showed me real love instead Between you and I, you painted a love connection You said… CHORUS And oh I’ve been pounded by pain, and I’ve been taunted by stars Just wishing to be saved by someone who had a heart That would fit within mine Who brought me…sunshine And I’ll be your sunshine You’re the color of love that I love And I’m so happy that you’re mine Sunshine, sunshine Oh this is beautiful, right beside you’s where I’m gonna be all the time I know that I’m meant to fly in the light of your sunshine Sunshine

LIGHT OF MY LIFE © 2008 Samantha Schultz (Capo 3rd fret) VERSE 1: You kiss my cheek and you hold my hand But I can’t speak; I can hardly stand Too great for words Free are the birds flying in my heart We walk along; we sing our songs Laughing in each others’ arms CHORUS: The world it stops and time is locked And all I can feel is you And we are floating in this Boat of Love Of love, of love And you are my light And you are the light of my life VERSE 2: Your loving light shines with all its grace And all can tell that we’re in a better place You make me smile when you say why You love me through and through And it’s safe to say there’s not a day Where I don’t think of you CHORUS BRIDGE: I think we deserve people who really love us, yeah Who really love us Who really love us VERSE 3: I fall asleep and feel at ease Dreaming of your face CHORUS And you are the light of my life

The Sun Words and Lyrics by Samantha Schultz © 2009 Samantha Schultz SOCAN Car sitting stud Walk me over the waters of this distance ‘Cause my heart’s a-flood Washing over my shoulders Drowned in an instant Instant So lend me your cheek And I’ll give you a kiss And all I want in return for this Is your love Can I borrow your hand? You can for sure hold mine Time’s on our side It’s always the right time for love And the sun never sets on us Million-watt smiler Overloading my circuits and my wires ‘Cause you flipped a switch I exploded with love And happy fires Fire So lend me your cheek And I’ll give you a kiss And all I want in return for this Is your love Can I borrow your hand? You can for sure hold mine Time’s on our side It’s always the right time for love And the sun never sets on us

You Are You! Words and Lyrics by Samantha Schultz © 2009 Samantha Schultz SOCAN Hey there lady, going crazy What’s been stressing you? School and boys, life and noise How will you pull through? You better bring it down before you get turned around Hey young man, so what’s your plan? Just trying to find your way Girls and cars, good school marks Sometimes those off days We all have them too; don’t let ‘em get to you You gotta have a little faith You gotta use all of your strength When you’re feeling broken and blue You are beautiful and bright Show the world how you can shine You should stand tall and proud ‘Cause you are you! Are you sad or sometimes mad At what life throws your way? In your heart, try to find the spark That’ll get you through the day We all have a choice; listen to your inner voice CHORUS Don’t be in such a hurry to make yourself worried Now is the time to be carefree Live, laugh and love, what are your dreams made of? Come on baby, you can tell me CHORUS

You Hold My Heart No.2 Words and Music by Samantha Schultz © 2010 Samantha Schultz SOCAN You live amongst the ocean surf And I live in homes around the earth But I long to pound the cobblestone with you I’m like a sister to the clouds ‘Cause every night, they flood the ground They cry with me, so I won’t feel alone, it’s true I sing words from my heart that are for you But the tides go in and out And the thunder screams and shouts But you still hold my heart in your hands Well the mountains turn to sand And the rain soaks through these lands But upon my own two feet I must stand, alone But you still hold my heart in your hands But you still hold my heart in your hands I put on both my boots and walk And listen to the raindrops talk About how they have never seen this smile before Cuz I’m thinking ‘bout your tight embrace And the comfort of your smiling face I’m counting the days ‘til I walk through your door I think there are twenty, forty…maybe a million more CHORUS Yes I might rest uneasy while you’re gone Yes, this is a test, but I know I am strong But the days are so long CHORUS

Robert Words and Music by Samantha Schultz © 2010 Samantha Schultz SOCAN Robert, you’re no ordinary man But you have scraped and bruised your two hands Too many times Robert, they say you’re made out of steel But these dark days are turning out to be quite real This extraordinary man who talks as fast as he can Robert, you’re crossing four into five On the concrete walls that are killing you But you stay alive Robert, you plead guilty for the millionth time For the millionth time For the millionth time Why can’t you just see the light? Why can’t you just steal the light? Steal it like you steal my heart Steal it to blow these things apart You must have some sort of clue Take my light and light your pipe Burn it bright to guide The freezing man within you Robert, you’re walking on blood red floors Please realize that when you are good, you get much more Robert tends to cry but doesn’t know what for Such a conflicted man who doesn’t like to follow plans CHORUS Guide your way back to the stars And no matter what you lack, you’re still my star I would erase all the scars if I could, it’s true But would you be the man who I knew? CHORUS

On The Sidelines Words and Lyrics by Samantha Schultz © 2011 Samantha Schultz SOCAN I give and you take but there’s no Thanks for nothing, baby, it would work Anyway I’m kind of crazy But that’s just what I say to make it Go away sadness; I can’t deal With you, I’m so happy, but at the same Time just tends to kill me ‘Cause all I do is think of you But you take it from me You take it from everyone What you want, what you need to get by ‘Cause you don’t care You don’t care about anyone I can’t believe how many times I’ve tried Baby, you’re gonna crash and burn When you see that you’re not the center of the world So I’m gonna step aside ‘Cause I’m not meant to wait here on the sidelines I try to walk away but you pull me Back when times were simple, there were Heart attacks are what you give me What can I do? ‘Cause all I want is you CHORUS And I know that you know that I’m not invisible And I know that you know that loving you makes me miserable Yet you take and you take and you take And I break and I break And I hate and I hate how I just can’t get over you I just can’t get over you CHORUS But I’m here on the sidelines

Save Me Words and Lyrics by Samantha Schultz © 2010 Samantha Schultz SOCAN Am I second rate to what you wanna have? But baby, you’re taken So you make do with what you can Now I lie awake in this sickly state And I can’t breathe I’m drowning at your own hands But you don’t even see And baby, you don’t who I think you are When it comes to the dead, dark night You’re my star And baby, we’ve walked too far to let this be So just hold me, baby, just hold me ‘Cause I thought I was your lady And I thought you were the one who’d save me She grabs you by the eyes in the humid sea breeze So I stare into the sun While my heart burns with this disease I’m wishing I was blind from time to time Baby, so I could breathe I’m drowning at your own hands But you don’t even see CHORUS I come with some demons That will time to time, say hello But I’ve loved you dearly So tell me when and why you decided to let go But baby, she ain’t me No baby, she ain’t me Now I’m not gonna be second rate To what you wanna have ‘Cause baby, you’re taken And I’m given you all I can CHORUS

In The Autumn Leave Days ©Music & Lyrics: Samantha Schultz May 9, 2010 (Capo 3rd fret) I saw your plane take off into the morning sky I looked at my sneakers and started to cry As the people filed in I had to cover my eyes But all I could see was our sad goodbye CHORUS: Well the sun rises early in Boston Its rays spill across the floor You are flying back in time to your home now I wanna rewind so we can have more More time together here in Boston But it’s time to buckle up and part ways It’ll be kinda tough, but baby soon enough, I’ll be with you in the autumn leave days So I sit by myself on these black chairs alone Knowing ‘cause of you my heart has grown I’ll remember how brightly the sun had shone But just how coldly the wind had blown CHORUS BRIDGE: Think of me when the ocean waves crash down Think of me when the summer sun sets down to the ground And soon enough, I’ll be eastern bound Where we can greet the new morning Together, safe and sound I saw your plane take off into the morning sky Goodbye… CHORUS

Ink to Paper ©Music and Lyrics by Samantha Schultz (CAPO ON 3RD FRET) VERSE 1: I lost it today My mind that is It followed you into the next room I feel I’ve been played Don’t wanna feel like this Knowing that I once held you CHORUS: Permanently on my mind like ink to paper I wish that you could somehow see me through my mirror How my heart cried for you on those long summer nights VERSE 3: You grabbed my heart And you danced with it The music swept us both away Now where do I start? I act like you don’t exist Your grip on my heart won’t go away CHORUS BRIDGE: And I’m flying Then I’m lying And finally I’m crying I am trying to move on Cuz you’re already gone VERSE 5: So it’s one foot in front Of the other now This road is long, I’ll take a while But I’ll tell you I am strong And even though I’m down You must believe me when I smile CHORUS

WALKING STRONG Words and Lyrics by Samantha Schultz © 2009 Samantha Schultz SOCAN Glory me, you have been so mistaken Sitting under your raincloud all this time Do you want to be free? Baby it’s so easy Shake out your umbrella; step into the shine Cuz walking strong will always get you somewhere Where you gonna go if you’re standing still? Bring on the rain, bring on the clouds There ain’t nothing gonna bring you down Keep moving on cuz you’re walking strong Time to breathe; get your hands off your throat Was it you who put yourself into this place? Yes you’ve sighed, and you’ve cried But do you see that ray of sunlight? It’s telling you it’s time to put a smile on your face CHORUS It’s all up to you There’s nothing no one else can do Take charge of your life And make sure you shine Take it from me: not a lot in life comes easy But I’m here to tell you something sure You’ve gotta take charge, follow your head and your heart You’ll be off to a real great start Your strength and your belief will lead the way CHORUS
