Welcome to the Matt Dusk Website!

A Million Kisses Late
Didn’t know how much I loved her
I’ll never know what might have been
I’d give anything to hold her
and have her back again.

I never should'a let her go
so many things I should'a let her know
should'a held her in my arms said "baby no, please wait"
I woke up to find, she had changed her mind
I’d run out of time, 'bout a million kisses late.

No I’m no good without her
and I feel lost out on the streets
ask all out friends about her
and the news is bittersweet.

I let her walk away; I lost it all that day
don't make the same mistake

All About Me
What a fine mess I got myself into this time
Who'da thought a guy like me could crumble
I'm sure that not a soul would ever guess that I'm
Finding it hard even to stumble

I used to think that I was strong
Used to think the world revolved around me
Never thought that I was wrong
And this big world almost drowned me
Cuz I'm...

There was a day when the walls were covered with my face
Walking through you'd think it was my mother's
There was not a single hair out of place
One eyebrow just a little bit higher than the other

I used to think that I was cool
I used to think the world was for the taking
Going to a brand new school
Look at all the friends I'm making
Cuz I'm...

Breakin out of my routine
And 'bout time that I come clean
And it's all good and it's all new
Let's reintroduce myself to you
No trouble that I'm in
No way that I can't win
And a good man I will be
Once I learn it's not all about
Me... Myself and I... we
Yeah... made a deal
To be a better man
So throw away the books
And just do it by feel
Cuz I'm...

Breakin out of my routine
And 'bout time that I come clean
And it's all good and it's all new
Let's reintroduce myself to you
No trouble that I'm in
No way that I can't win
And a good man I will be
Once I learn it's not all about
Breakin out of my routine
And 'bout time that I come clean
And it's all good and it's all new
Let's reintroduce myself to you
No trouble that I'm in
No way that I can't win
And a good man I will be
Once I learn it's not all about me.

April Moon
This is a story I've wanted to tell
I was left for some other guy
All I could do was wish them both well
And gaze at my friend in the sky

April Moon
You know me
I have wept here before
Can you believe I went back to her for more
I just hate that side of me

April Moon
My baby left me here with nothing
You know the ropes
Can't you do something
To restore my sanity

I remember the good times
Love was strong so I thought
Do the stars cheat on you
Like she did me
I think not
I think not

April Moon
So full, so bright
Maybe one day
She'll be in my arms again
But not tonight, not tonight
April Moon

As Time Goes By
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say I love you
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion,
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
But the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion,
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
But the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Back In Town
It seems just like yesterday when we were standing here
Yankee's hat upon my head and your voice in my ear
I've talked about the future and all the things we'd do
I never thought your lovin' words would frighten me from you.

I remember when I sold my car to board that train
you said you were sure that I would not come back again
and now you see with your own eyes and start to realize
I'm not the man I thought I was, so try to sympathize.

The way you think about your life
is gonna change, change tonight.
Don't even try out that frown
'cuz you man is back in town.

I'm sure you've been thinkin' 'bout just where the hell I've been
painted your own pictures of the trouble I got in
There were times I will admit my heart saw better days
but I'm the type that has to lose to find I had it made.

No use thinkin' too much about things we cannot change
I know you think it's crazy but I'm here to set things straight
I’m standing here to say that I’ll give love a try
It’s my complicated way to say I’ll simplify.

The way you think about your life
is gonna change, change tonight
Don’t even try out that frown
'cuz you man is back in town
Baby it's cool to take your time
I was a fool, out of my mind
so let's jump off of this merry-go-round
'cuz your man in back in town.

I was drawn away, now I’m back to stay
I was wrong to think, there was a better way
Now I see with my own eyes, 'bout time I realize
I hope in time you will forgive, I’ll never leave your side.

The way you think about your life
is gonna change, change tonight
Don’t even try out that frown
'cuz you man is back in town
Baby it's cool to take your time
I was a fool, out of my mind
So let's jump off of this merry-go-round
'cuz your man in back in town
So let's jump off of this merry-go-round
'cuz your man in back in town.

Get Me to the Church On Time
A few more hours, that's all the time I got
A few more hours, before I tie the knot
There'll be drinks and girls all over the town
and I gotta track'em down
in just a few more hours.

I'm gettin' married in the morning
Ding-dong the bells are gonna chime
Pull out the stopper, we'll have a whopper
But get me to the church on time.

I got to get there in the morning
Spruced up and lookin' in my prime
girls come and kiss me, say that you'll miss me
but get me to the church on time.

If I am dancing roll up the floor
If I am whistling, right out the door
I got to get there in the morning
Ding-ding-dong they're gonna chime
Kick up a rumpus, don't lose your compass
Get me to the church, Get me to the church
Pete's sake get me to the church on time.

if I’m flyin', then shoot me down
if I’m wooin', get the girl right out of town
I got to get there in the morning
ding-ding-dong they're gonna chime
punch me and jail me, stamp me and mail me
Get me to the church, Get me to the church
Pete's sake get me to the church on time
on time, on time, on time.

History Repeating
The word is about, there's something evolving,
whatever may come, the world keeps revolving
They say the next big thing is here,
that the revolution's near,
but to me it seems quite clear
that it's all just a little bit of history repeating

The newspaper shouts a new style is growing,
but it doesn't know if it's coming or going,
there is fashion, there is fad
some is good, some is bad
and the joke is rather sad,
that its all just a little bit of history repeating

- and I've seen it before
- and I'll see it again
- yes I've seen it before
- just little bits of history repeating
- and I'll see it again

Some people don't dance, if they don't know who's singing,
why ask your head, it's your hips that are swinging
life's for us to enjoy
woman, man, girl and boy,
feel the pain, feel the joy
aside set the little bits of history repeating

- and I've seen it before
- and I'll see it again
- yes I've seen it before
- just little bits of history repeating.

Learnin' the Blues
The tables are empty - the dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song - it's the tenth time you've heard it
That's the beginning - just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson - in learnin' the blues

The cigarettes you light - one after another
Won't help you forget her - and the way that you love her
You're only burning - a torch you can't lose
'Cuz you're on the right track - for learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you - constantly
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you don't sleep - the whole night you're crying
You can't forget her - soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor - and wear out those new shoes
When you feel your heart break - you're learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you - constantly
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you don't sleep - the whole night you're crying
You can't forget her - soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor - and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break - you're learnin' the blues
When you feel your heart break - you're learnin' the blues.

More
More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love I give to you alone
More than the simple words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day

More than you’ll ever know my arms long to hold you so
My life will be in your keeping, waiting, sleeping, laughing, weeping

Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever you’ll be mine
I know I never lived before
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more

More than you’ll ever know my arms long to hold you so
My life will be in your keeping, waiting, sleeping, laughing, weeping

Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever you’ll be mine
I know I've never lived before
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more
No one else could love you more
Love you more.

On the Street Where You Live
I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always been beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.

Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live.

And oh, the towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear.

People stop and stare, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I'd rather be
Let the time go by, I don't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.

People stop and stare, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I'd rather be
Let the time go by, I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live
Can be here on the street where you live.

The Best Is Yet To Come
Out of the tree of life, I picked me a plum
You came along and everything started to hum
Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come

The best is yet to come, won't that be fine
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine

Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet

The best is yet to come, won't that be just fine
The best is yet to come, come the day that your mine

Come the day your mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain that cup dry

Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' like it here

The best is yet to come, won't that be so fine
The best is yet to come, come the day that your mine
Come the day that your mine, mmm mmm mine.

Where Were You When
Where were you when, my first love came callin'
my heart kept on fallin' like a stone?
Where were you when, I left home for college
traded that first love for knowledge?

I’ve lived in the dark, I’ve refused to forgive
but somehow I knew, there was more I could give.

Who held your hand, on your first day to school?
Who read to you that night?
Who broke your heart for the first time?
Did you cry out loud just to know why?

Have you lived in the dark or refused to forgive
but somehow just knew there was more you could give.

Long before you came to me, I laid beneath the evergreens
dreamed this day would come, if only I had known
far beyond the eye could see, my soul knew what was best for me
I only had to wait, and for that I have faith, in love
long before you came to me, I laid beneath the evergreens
dreamed this day would come, if only I had known
far beyond the eye could see, my soul knew what was best for me
I only had to wait, and for that I have faith

Long before you said to me, you saved my heart and rescued me
I walked this lonely mile, and now I hold a smile
Far beyond the mission bells, long before our fare-thee-well
my dream of finding you, has finally, come true.

Who's Got the Action
A gal is like a racehorse, I play her to win
but if I should lose her, another may come in
love can be like heaven, love can be a joke
but it's worth a gamble, so hey I go for broke.

Who's got the action?
Who'll take a chance on love?
Who's got a kiss for me?
Give me one and you'll get back three
Who's got the action?
Just lay it on the line
I’ll bet you 10 to 1 you'll be mine.

Now once I had a Philly, I ain't seen her since
Some can't go the distance; they're only good in sprints
Sweethearts stay together, when it's fair and warm
but comes stormy weather, they don't run to form.

Who's got the action?
Who'll take a chance on love?
Who's got a kiss for me?
Give me one and you'll get back three
Who's got the action?
Just lay it on the line
I’ll bet you 10 to 1 you'll be mine.

They put on a long shot, I play either way
All I need's a winner, and this could be the day
When I win my parlay, I’ll be set for life
I’ll take all that money, and go find me a wife.

Who's got the action?
Who'll take a chance on love?
Who's got a kiss for me?
Give me one and you'll get back three
Who's got the action?
Just lay it on the line
I’ll bet you 10 to 1, I’ll bet you 10 to 1
I’ll bet you 10 to 1 you'll be mine.
