Reminiscence
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
I can still remember times
When my life and love were mine,
All the hours that I spent with you were smiles.
In the morning I would rise,
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes,
Knowing well that you’d be there to greet
The new day with me.
Now my hours are so empty
And my life is full of nothing.
I am all that’s left to be without your love -
Why did you leave me?
Still of one thing I am sure,
No one else could love you more.
Through the years and lifelong tears
I still am yours.

New Girlfriends
Music & lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE:
Me and my friend Joe
Thought we were in the know
But my oh my, what big disgrace
We hang around this same old place
Just like our old friend Dan
Who thought he was the man
Until we asked him what it was
That kept him goin’
CHORUS:
New Girlfriends
Your drive around the world friends
They keeps your mind preoccupied
And keep your body satisfied
New Girlfriends
Come love me ’til the world ends
You’re all the dreams I’d ever want to see.
VERSE:
Me and my friend Bill
Went out to find a thrill
We’d cruise around the neighborhood
It never did us any good
We met our old friend Ray
He had nuthin’ to say
Until we asked him what it was
That kept him goin’
CHORUS:
New Girlfriends
Your drive around the world friends
They keeps your mind preoccupied
And keep your body satisfied
New Girlfriends
Come love me ’til the world ends
You’re all the dreams I’d ever want to see.

None So Lonely
Music & Lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE:
Something’s tellin’ you
Things are not so well in you
You’re sittin’ there just starin’ into space.
No matter how you’ve tried
Some things you just can’t hide
The story’s written there upon your face!
CHORUS:
There’s none so lonely as a broken heart
It’s like your world has just been torn apart
Tried movin’ on but don’t know how to start
You’re just cryin’ cryin’
Deep inside your dyin’
She said she loved you, then she said goodbye
All you can do is sit and wonder why
There’s none so lonely as a broken heart
Always cryin’…
VERSE:
Was not so long ago
You always stole the show
Life was sweet, with nothing in your way
Then suddenly she’s gone
You’re left to carry on
And you just can’t see beyond today
CHORUS:
There’s none so lonely as a broken heart
It’s like your world has just been torn apart
Tried movin’ on but don’t know how to start
You’re just cryin’
Deep inside your dyin’
She said she loved you, then she went away
And there was simply nothing left to say
There’s none so lonely as a broken heart
Always cryin’…
HALF CHORUS:
One day she’s with you then the next she’s gone
You’ve no idea how to carry on
There’s none so lonely as a broken heart
Always cryin’
You just feel like dying!
There’s none so lonely as a broken heart
There’s none so lonely as a broken heart
There’s none so lonely as a broken heart
There’s none so lonely as a broken heart (repeat and fade)

Comrades
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
CHORUS:
We could never say goodbye,
Cross our hearts and hope to die.
Comrades ‘til the end – oh we are friends.
VERSE 1:
When we were growin’ up, we were always climbin’ trees
Puttin’ frogs on little girls and scrapin’ up our knees.
Stealin’ cookies from your Mom we’ run away and hide.
To make our get away real quick we’d hop our bikes and ride – oh…
CHORUS:
We could never say good bye
Cross our hearts and hope to die.
Comrades to the end, oh we are friends.
Share and share and share alike,
Take my skates I’ll use your bike.
Comrades, most of all, the best of friends.
VERSE 2:
In high school days the locker room became our second home.
Basketballs and baseball bats were all we’d need to know.
The little girls we put frogs on grew bigger every day
I never thought through all theses years, you’d have to go away - oh…
CHORUS:
We could never say goodbye,
Cross our hearts and hope to die.
Comrades ‘til the end – oh we are friends.
When you’re friends, it’s friends for good,
Growin’ up like we hoped we would.
Comrades, still in all, the best of friends.
Friends should never be apart.
Growin’ up can break your heart.
Comrades, far apart but still good friends.

When I’m Not Held (In Your Arms)
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
When I’m not held in your arms,
I feel like I should cry,
I feel like I could die,
I feel like I’m the only one without love in the world.
VERSE 2:
When I have you close to me,
There’s nothing I can’t see,
Nothing I can’t be,
Everything I want is you and you are love to me.
BRIDGE:
I have given up myself to you,
Given up my being,
I have given up my life.
All you have to do is tell me,
Please tell me that you love me,
Please say that you’ll be mine… oh, oh… INTERLUDE
BRIDGE:
I have given up myself to you,
Given up my being,
I have given up my life.
And oh, I’m so lonely.
When I’m not held in your arms.

Rainy Day Song
Music and Lyrics by Robert Porembski

Cloudy skies, they never hurt my eyes
I know just what to do.
Sing a song and you cannot go wrong,
The sun’ll come shinin’ through.
You gotta sing now --
CHORUS:
Sing, Sing!
Sing a Rainy Day Song.
Sing it proudly, loudly and long now,
For the love must start in your heart -- yeah.
Sing, Sing!
And when your singing is through,
Take it back and sing it anew love.
For the blue skies and sunshine we need.
VERSE 2:
Trouble found, I’ve seen it all around,
I've seen it near and far.
Be of love, sing of the stars above and you’ll
Know just where you are
You gotta sing now!
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Forgive me now if I might seem somehow
Quite unreal and dreaming.
But that’s the only way I know can say that I
Wish you true peace and happiness.
VERSE 3;
Cloudy skies they'll never hurt your eyes
You'll know just what to do
Sing a song and you will not go wrong
The sun'll come shining' through
You better sing now!

Beautiful Stranger
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
Where did you come from?
That silly face, those soft and pretty eyes,
I was surprised.
Just for a moment
One little moment came and took my heart.
Tore it apart and then,
Old feeling did start again seeing you.
CHORUS:
Beautiful stranger, come and be my friend.
I wanna learn how to love again
Beautiful stranger come into my life
Make it right
Spend the night if you can
My beautiful stranger.
VERSE 2:
It seems so funny.
So very strange that love should happen now.
I don’t know how,
Just how to take this,
No, it’s not funny
It’s no joke at all.
Maybe I’ll call but when?
I don’t wanna fall again – but too late! CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Just when you think that you’re the only one.
Without a love and just a lonely one.
That’s when it hits you just like ready or not
Thanks a lot!
Tell me what can I do?
I’m crazy for you! CHORUS

I’ll never forget you
I’ll Always love you

VERSE1:
Last night, I caught you cryin’.
My eyes tell me your hearts been lyin’.
Seems like you can’t hide it but I
Know you’re tryin’ to fight again it’s all
Over your face.
I know you wanna leave this place.

My Music
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE:
A long time ago, when I was very little
My parents looked at me and they
Said this kid’ll be a
Doctor, or a lawyer, or a banker
Or a salesman’s son.
But right from the start, you know
I always heard the music.
And it came to me, you know
I didn’t choose it.
Though I wondered why
It could make me laugh or cry all day.
Then one day my Mother brought me home a ukulele
I’d sit in my room and I practiced it daily
I write little tunes
And that was the start of my music!
CHORUS:
You know my
Music makes the world go round for me
It’s the only thing I see
When my eyes are full of tears
It comes and takes away my fears.
VERSE:
Well you know how one thing can lead to another
I went to the kitchen and I
Said to my Mother,
“would you like to hear a song
It won’t take us very long
I wrote it”.
So we sat in the kitchen and we sang songs daily
My Sister banged a pot while I played my ukulele
Then my Brother came along
He was no bigger than a song, so small.
Then one day my Mother said,
“You know I love you sonny.
Your music’s very nice but you gotta earn some money
So I’ll send you off to school
And maybe you’ll forget about music”.
BRIDGE:
So I went to school
And learned different things
But not as much as I learned from the music.
CHORUS
VERSE:
Now you know that life’s an economic situation
You gotta earn a living or your sure to face starvation
It can be hard too get along
When the only thing you’ve got’s a song.
So I sit in my room and aI practice daily
I play the piano but I kept mu ukulele
I still play in now and then
It’s a very special friend, like music.
And every time one thing leads to another
I go to my old kitchen and I sing with my Mother.
She’s the one who understands
And the one who gave me my music.
CHORUS:
You know my
Music makes the world go round for me
It’s the only thing I see
When my eyes are full of tears
It comes and takes away my fears.

Take a Hand, Make a Friend
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
Rushin’ through your busy day,
Sometimes you lose your way.
Adrift on the ocean,
Like a boat without a sail.
When you’re feelin’ way off course,
Tap into a greater source.
Why be alone?
When all you have to do,
Is reach out and –
CHORUS:
Take a hand, make a friend.
You’ll see that we’re all special in our own way.
When you help someone else,
You really help yourself.
Take a hand and make a friend right next to you.
VERSE 2:
It seems like you’ve got everything,
All the gifts that life can bring,
Yet still you feel empty,
With a need down deep inside.
Well you’re not the only one,
So help yourself and help someone.
Why be alone?
When all you have to do,
Is reach out and – CHORUS

For You
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
It’s been quite some time since I have seen your face
And I’m wonderin’ now if I’m in the right place.
I’ve been hurtin’ long but now I’m getting’ strong.
Why do you do this to me?
VERSE 2:
Now I often think about that happy past.
How we helplessly watched it go by so fast.
Then we met again, only to say goodbye.
Now do you see why I cry?
CHORUS:
I do all my livin’ for you, girl.
Wonderin’ what I’m gonna do, girl -
For you.
VERSE 3:
Does your memory fade when turned to thoughts of me?
Do you look ahead, to think of what can still be?
‘Cause I’m planning now to work things out somehow,
Baby just give me a chance.
CHORUS:
After all, I’m livin’ for you, girl.
Wonderin’ what I’m bound to do, girl.
BRIDGE:
Do you ever think I’m sad and lonely?
Livin’ in a dream, still living only for you.
Oh, what can I do? SOLO
BRIDGE 2:
Life without your love is sad and lonely.
I can’t give up the dream, my heart beats only for you –
Still, what can I do?
VERSE 4:
It’s been quite some time, since I have seen your face.
And I know for sure that I’m in the wrong place.
I’ve been hurtin’ long but now I’m getting’ strong.
Why do you do this to me? CHORUS and END

Never Too Late, To Find Love
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
Life’s fantasies and fallacies have left us all unreal.
While we’re busy chasing rainbows, we forget how others feel.
We’re all living in a plastic world of obsolescent crap,
Buying things to make us happy, without knowing that’s a trap.
VERSE 2:
There’s fighting on all continents and hunger all around.
While the fat cat politician, in all wealth he does abound.
We see brother hating brother right in front of us my friend.
And we try to overcome this, but how can we transcend?
CHORUS:
You know it’s never too late,
Never too late, to find love.
BRIDGE:
A kind of love that can join all men and crush all foolish pride.
T
his kind of love can end all wars and all tears will be dried.
VERSE 3:
But people can be blind to this when they do not wish to see.
They’re content to stagnate in a state of low humanity.
They don’t care about their brother just look out for "number one".
And it’s only when we see this half the battle will be won.
CHORUS:
Because it’s never too late,
Never too late, to find love.

BALLAD OF THE CLASS OF 1970 - June 19, 1970
ROBERT POREMBSKI
VERSE !:
There’s a rumor going ‘round I’m told
About the good, the bad, the brave the bold
Seems they’re all gonna take a giant step
To graduate and leave the Prep
And I don’t know if said story’s true
But if it is, I’m telling you..
CHORUS:
I KNOW THEY’RE GONNA MISS THE PREP
WHEN THEY GO MOVIN’ ON
BUT THEY’LL TRY TO TAKE IT WITH THEM WHEN THEY GO
VERSE 2:
For 4 long years they fought a war
Withs tests and teachers by the score
They’d sometimes lose and sometimes win
But now that battles at an end
Groups one and two will now depart
They’re heading for a brand new start
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
Just walk down and hallowed hall
There’s many a face you can recall
Like Father Keane who was quite a pain
When he’d talk too much about Charlemagne!
And a stranger by the name of Peaches
Who’s always there but never teaches
CHORUS
VERSE 4:
We all remember Monsieur L’Abbe
And his “golden goodies” every day
Now everyone give a great big howl
For our famous friend - the good old Owl.
And then of course who could forget
Old Smokey and his cigarettes
CHORUS
VERSE 5:
There’s Bill McFadden, looks really plastered
And Mike Festo, that hairy bastard
And then of course, we have “the eoose”
Every time he speaks, he cooks his goose
Now duck your head, ‘cause flyin’ low
Comes gliding by - Petite Oiseau!
CHORUS

Sleep Song
Music & Lyrics by Robert Porembski
Close your eyes and sleep awhile
And don’t you worry
Ah, there’s no hurry
And we’ve got no place to go
We’re both in darkness now
My arms around you
I’m glad I found you
And I’m glad you found me too
Settle down relax your mind
All our troubles far behind
Miles away
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Settle down relax your mind
All our troubles far behind
Miles away
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
You don’t have to worry no more
Go to sleep
