WHAT’S THIS BEAUTY   Where I come from Ain’t so different than where you come from Where I’m going to Is exactly where you’ve come to The only difference is the story Of how we’ve come to be Time for us to tell our story We are where we are to be If you told me, you were to be my all I’d have to let you be Not mine but yours For yours is the only one for you to be If you told me, you had to leave I’d have to set you free Who am I to say, who where you are to be? It’s all a part of your story Of how you’ve come to be ‘Time for you to tell your story You are where you are to be Please forgive me If this isn’t what you want from me This is what you get And right now, it’s exactly what you need Forgive me, you’re the one you’re setting free Forgive me, and set yourself free What’s this beauty That I behold all around me? What’s this peace I’m overcome with When I slow to stay with thee It’s all part of my story, of how I’ve come to be ‘Time for me to tell my story, And I am where I am to be Where I am to be

LOVERS WEEP Chorus: I would only break your heart I think it better if we never start I have fallen to dismay Oh baby don’t let us do this again No matter how we part In the end we’d only hold the stars I would only break your heart I would only break your heart Still you call With those eyes And a love That defies Draw me back Into the fold All ablazed Despite what is told (Chorus) Yet we plunge Fumbling fools Intertwine Hunger rules Sinking deep Darkness sweeps Silence chills Lovers weep (Chorus)

OUT IN THE STREETS What did I see? Will I ever know? It peered in my eye Straight into my soul Out in the streets, out in the streets My blood runs cold,my blood runs cold I can’t feel my feet, I can’t feel my feet Something’s got a hold, something’s got a hold Vision’s getting weak I’m losing control Under the beat, under the beat I can’t let go, I can’t let go Slipping through the gears Caught in that undertow I can’t take the heat, I can’t take the heat Something’s gonna blow Something’s gonna blow It’s gotten pretty bleak, it’s gotten pretty bleak Pull over my cloak, pull over my cloak I fall to my knees, I fall to my knees Chorus: Please take me home I need some ‘rock me in your arms’ I need something sweet and low ‘fore it starts all over…

ALL GOOD PEOPLE Sorry if I sometimes get a little out of hand Sorry if I get a little pushy now and again But I’m trying to do my best Yeah, I’m trying to give it my all I’m trying to do my best, ‘cause mine is all I got Trying to do my best, not just for me but for us all Trying to do my best for all you good people Sorry if I stayed a little too long again last night Mostly sorry ‘cause it hurts to look up at the light But I was feelin’ on a roll, maybe a little invincible I was feelin’ on a roll ‘cause I was feelin’ all the love Feelin’ on a roll ‘cause the groove was real’ good Feelin’ in on a roll, feelin‘ all you good people Sorry if I disappear without leaving a hint Sometimes I can’t help it My soul’s got a mind for wandering But I’m here with you now Yeah, I’m here to tell you how Here with you now - here to tell you what Here with you now - that I aint gon’ give you up Here with you now Here with all you good people Sorry if I sometimes get a little out of hand Sorry if I get a little pushy now and again But I’m trying to do my best Yeah, I’m trying to give it my all I’m trying to do my best, ‘cause mine is all I got Trying to do my best, not just for me but for us all Trying to do my best for all you good people Trying to do my best for all you good people Trying to do my best for all you good people Trying to do my best for all you good people

TICKET TO TOKYO Chorus: Hawkin’ my stuff, ‘n’ buyin‘ a ticket to Tokyo Hear the cherry blossoms are about to come out I need a new dream, I need a new dream Why not one bathed in pretty pink petals Hawkin’ my stuff, ‘n’ buying a ticket to Tokyo I’ll call when I get in Mama say a prayer for me Papa try and not worry Brothers, I’ll be thinking ‘bout you I’ll be home soon Baby I’ll try not to cry as I leave I know it hurts but it’s good to know we still bleed Now I’ve got to go at this alone There’s just some things you’ gotta do on your own (Chorus) Please don’t ask me what’s waiting for me ‘Don’t know but I need to go and see Sometimes it’s not about why or where you go Sometimes you’ just got to follow your soul Who knows what tomorrow will bring But I hope you’ll still be here with me No matter the distance that comes in between All I have to do is to think of you and it just disappears

J’ENTONNE (YOU WON’T KNOW ‘TIL YOU KNOW)   À nouveau sur le chemin des quatre fils  J’aime bien cette rue  Douce quiétude me berce dans mes pas  J’me sens plus près de moi J’me sens plus prêt pour moi  J’laisse passer les questions qui ne me concernent pas  J’laisse passer les klaxons qui sonnent bas  J’avance dans ce beau silence d’une légèreté étonnante  Et j’entends You won’t know ’til you know  You won’t know ’til you know  Doesn’t matter if you listen Or dig your head in the snow  Je n’suis pas le premier à passer par ici  Ni serai-je le dernier à vouloir en fuir  Tout c’que j’sais c’est qu’au fond j’ai ce grand désir  D’être bien avec toi  D’être bien avec moi  D’faire face à ces peurs qui, d’en dessous, me déchirent D’aimer plus fort que je n’puisse en revenir  J’m’arrête, j’respire  J’attends... j’attends... j’entends   You won’t know ’til you know  You won’t know ’til you know  Doesn’t matter if you listen Or dig your head in the snow  You won’t know ’til you know  You won’t know ’til you know  All you can do is hang on And find someone to hold Le vent se lève Je l’envie Je veux le suivre Le vent lève Et moi aussi Je m’lui confie (Chorus)

IF ONLY No mind Reeling away some time Standing in line Dude can’t seem to make up his mind Like Neil, I’m getting old My coffee’s getting cold This fly is slowly driving me crazy I’m still waiting on you to ask me Chorus: Can you get me out of here Can you get me out of here Put me in your pocket Let’s kick it If only you’d ask me If only… In the meantime I’ll keep casting out the line And singin’ out my heart For the folks in the shipyard When you comin’ ‘round ? Want to hear you shake the ground Want to feel heavy Like the whole world inside me (Chorus)

SWEET TIME OF MINE   Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed’s the best way to start the day On a sunny Sunday morning in the heart of May No worries on my mind Guitar on my lap and you by my side Sweet time of mine, sweet time of mine Like laundry on the line, sweet time of mine June took the turn to make me learn Yet another little game Ain’t it funny how seemingly random She’ll throw you for a spin Just when I’ve thought I might slip right off Well I’ve hung on and wondered how I’d ever lost This sweet time of mine, sweet time of mine Like laundry on the line, sweet time of mine Back on the porch this morn’ Sippin’ on tea and blowing my horn Feels like world’s swingin’ along There’s still so much I don’t yet know I guess I’ll keep struttin’ ahead Trusting my belly over my head Wherever I may roam, wherever she may blow Like laundry on the line, sweet time, like laundry on the line Like laundry on the line, sweet time of mine

UNDER THE SAME MOON   It’s been 77 days And I can’t wait to see your face light up When I walk through the door To hold you tight To kiss you goodnight Is all I could ever ask for Chorus: I’m coming home to you As fast as these tired wings will let me I’m coming home to you As the crow flies I forever will be true No matter how far these wings will take me I’ll always come home to you As the crow flies I know, it was me who ran away Don’t know how long I expected you to wait Don’t know why we had to But here we are still standing under the same moon Tonight as I sing to you From two thousand miles away I’ll sing strong and true So you might hear me Suddenly I see you standing right there in front of me I know, a part of me, you will always be (Chorus)

about

Welcome to SWEET TIME OF MINE - a couple of old friends making a record.
Dreams are good - big and small. Joël Perreault and I have been making music together for the better half of our lives. When we decided to record these songs in our burgeoning studio, it felt like the dream was playing out just as it should.

Merci Joël pour ta générosité, ton enthousiasme, ta persévérence, ton honnêteté et ta façon de puiser mon meilleur... et aussi de me dire quand c’est le temps de poser la guitare et de venir écouter. Merci Rosanne, Calia et Louis pour votre générosité, amour et compréhension. Merci à la famille et aux amis pour votre appui constant ! Merci à Joel et Ivan pour votre amitié et l’énergie que vous consacrez à cette aventure musicale ! Merci Nathalie! Ça ne fait que commencer, cette histoire et déjà, y’en a pour quelques bouquins ! Tu ne sauras jamais comment ta foi en moi et ton engagement à faire rouler l’affaire aident à alimenter ce feu de camp !

THANK YOU TO YOU! THANKS FOR LISTENING! THANKS FOR LOVING!
