Well it’s so sad you had to leave When I everything I regret Is hanging on my sleeve To watch you say goodbye To everything we have made Can’t we give it another try I wish I gave you What you wanted from me But I was tied up from the start Now I’m just trying To make you see I love ya from the bottom Of my heart Big Sky Woman Big Sky Woman Big Sky Woman Won’t ya come back to me Well now we’ve got to move along But every time I reflect It makes me wonder What went wrong And all the love we shared I never will forget I hope you know I’ll always care I wish I gave you What you wanted from me But I was tied up from the start Now I’m just trying To make you see I love ya from the bottom Of my heart Big Sky Woman Big Sky Woman Big Sky Woman Won’t ya come back to me Falling for you Was so good from the start Now there ain’t nothing We can do Standing around with this Pain in my heart Crying over memories Of you Big Sky Woman Big Sky Woman Big Sky Woman Won’t you come back to me

It’s been a long time comin’ I really miss your ways The way that I’ve been runnin’ Couldn’t stop the pain When love comes callin’ The sun always hides away And when the rain starts fallin’ The clouds know you’re here today She brings the rain Good Lord I never know If I should laugh or cry There I go She brings the rain No matter how I try Oh can’t you see That the rain is gonna be Comin’ down Again The time just keeps goin’ But I can see your face Feel the wind that’s blowin’ It’s gonna bring the rain When you’re returning The sun always hides away It’s still up there burning But the clouds get in the way She brings the rain Good Lord I never know If I should laugh or cry There I go She brings the rain No matter how I try Oh can’t you see That the sun is gonna be Goin’ down Again She brings the rain Brings the rain

Love is not made of gold No matter what you’ve been told It’s nothing but a lie It’ll begin to rust Tarnish and turn to dust Where once it used to shine Cause it’s only an illusion A cruel trick of the light Blinding your sight And that warm sweet delusion Will soon enough turn cold Crumble and corrode Love is not made of gold Love is not built to last It shatters just like glass Time and time again No more precious than jewels Just a game that’s played by fools That always ends in pain Yes it’s only an illusion A cruel trick of the light Blinding your sight And that warm sweet delusion Will soon enough turn cold Crumble and corrode Love is not made of gold It’ll turn a beggar into a believer Build a shrine And fall to his knees Cause it all glitters until It deceives you Curse the day That he finally sees Well it’s only an illusion A cruel trick of the light Blinding your sight And that warm sweet delusion Will soon enough turn cold Crumble and corrode Love is not made of gold

See all the colors change Watch life rearrange Into something new Yesterday is gone Now that you’ve got Your freedom The world is open now Look inside where you Always hide And all will heal somehow We can start anew Hear love’s empty cry Don’t stop and wonder why Regret has followed you The pain has all been done Look at all of the reasons The choices you have made To start again and not pretend That all will heal someday We can start anew Regret has followed you The pain has all been done Now that you’ve Got your freedom The world is open now Look inside where you Always hide And all will heal somehow We can start anew
5.
Put aside your sorrows Well here the morning comes Dressed in all her splendor Gifting us the sun Chase after shadows That linger in your mind Sweep out the ashes Leave them far behind Oh Mama I said that’s the way it goes Sometimes Oh sweet Mama Come and greet the new sunrise I can see you’re hurting Life can be so cruel But regrets are nothing but The errands of a fool So put out the candles And let the daylight in Get out of your own way To live is not a sin Oh Mama I said that’s the way it goes Sometimes Oh sweet Mama Come and greet the new sunrise
6.
Comes a time for everyone When all we have learned Is forgotten Then you find it all come undone And everything you’ve known Has gone away Try and mend what’s left inside Makes the truth so hard to find Oooooh won’t ya tell me What to do Lessons learned Bridges burned I was too blind to see Lessons Learned Pages turned All I’m left with is me Ain’t it strange how life can be And all you believed to be real Ya finally got a dose of clarity Well this time the pain Ain’t gonna heal It always feels like something’s lost Regretful times when lines were crossed Oooooh won’t you tell me What to do Lessons Learned Bridges burned I was too blind to see Lessons Learned Pages turned All I’m left with is me
7.
Should we turn Then just walk away Forget we ever Felt this way before Strangers who can finally Close the door You and I are over now Now we get to know What will be You and I are learning how To know from now on What will be Looking back on the promises Now the time has come To realize I’ll never see tomorrow In your eyes You and I are over now Now we get to know What will be You and I learning how To know from now on What will be What will be Now
8.
Nothing easy Nothing harder to say Something keeps me From giving my secrets Away Can’t you see I just want you to be My Everything But you don’t understand What’s at hand For me Everything Time has told me I can’t put my trust in you Always hoping But deep down I know THAT It’s true Can’t you see I just want you to be My Everything But you don’t understand What’s at hand For me Everything
9.
Standing in the rain All alone Tryin’ to forget You have gone Thinkin’ ‘bout the things We once said And now I know I’ll never See you again What’ll I do without you What’ll I do when you’re gone What’ll I do without you What’ll I do when you’re gone No matter how I try I can’t get over you Wavin’ your goodbyes Feels so cold It makes me realize Down to my soul Ya can’t depend on love To see ya through Gettin’ left out in the rain Is nothin’ new What’ll I do without you What’ll I do when you’re gone What’ll I do without you What’ll I do when you’re gone No matter how I try I can’t get over you I really want you to know I didn’t want you to go Can’t we just turn the page And get on with it Why did you go away I only wanted you to stay How was our love so filled With empty promises No matter how I try I can’t get over you Standin’ all alone In the rain Tryin’ to remember Once again Things we could have done To find a way And now I know there’s nothin’ Left to say What’ll I do without you What’ll I do when you’re gone What’ll I do without you What’ll I do when you’re gone No matter how I try I can’t get over you

Is this goodbye I should have known it Once again I have Gone and blown it Is this goodbye I sit and wonder We could have reached Up to the sky Can’t you feel what I feel for ya Baby Don’t you know it was so real Baby Can’t you feel what I feel for ya Baby Don’t you know it was so real Baby Is this goodbye Where do we go now Once again we can Make it somehow Is This goodbye Is our love over I know we tried Is this goodbye

about

Over the past couple of years, I sat down with some good friends of mine, pictured behind me in my profile photo, and decided to make my very own record. I also have other great friends who happen to be amazing singers and musicians that contributed to this record. I want to give a huge thank you to all of them, and to you for listening.

These are my Lessons Learned.

- Robert
