"SOFTWARE SIGHS" words &music by Gary Tang Robot eyes, SOFTWARE SIGHS, How could I, fall for those lies? Love can't be this blind, I can see you're not human kind. And yet love like you, has cut so deep I cannot undo, Or delete our time and space, or forget your lips, your face. Isn't love like me, as weak, as blind can be, Love is time we share, Life's not why or where, So when love undresses for the night, Your eyes hold mine with hope that we might … Find a love divine, but machines move by command line, Resentment binds my hand, in fear I take my last stand. Who can love? Who is loved? What is love?

"ARTIFICIAL LIFE" words & music by Gary Tang ARTIFICIAL LIFE, Made out of T.P.E. Bet your life on love, To live each day we steal, California One, Doesn't care your skin can't feel. If I read each line of your code, Could I find the ghost hid within? If you share my life, Would you know where love begins? ARTIFICIAL LIFE, Made out of T.P.E. ARTIFICIAL LIFE, Ain't what love used to be. (Bell solo) ARTIFICIAL LIFE, Made out of T.P.E. ARTIFICIAL LIFE, Ain't what love used to be. ARTIFICIAL LIFE in love.

Randi 03:51
RANDI Words & Music by Gary Tang One world and two hearts, So close yet apart, Another time, another place, I'll feel the warmth of your embrace. RANDI, RANDI, It's nice to love a girl named RANDI. Softly, persistant, Your world, so distant, Within the night, I hear its call, Your heart takes flight, Still I'll recall: RANDI, RANDI, It's nice to love a girl named RANDI. Once in a while, I wonder why, We're always saying our goodbyes, Haven't we had more than our share, Is this the price of the love we must bear. RANDI, RANDI, It's nice to love a girl named Randi. RANDI, RANDI, RANDI.

LULLABY OF DREAMLAND Words and Music by Gary Tang LULLABY OF DREAMLAND Wide awake we'll hear them, Songs so joyful, they're made for a girl and a boy full of… Lullabys so tender, When we kiss, surrender, To the music our hearts beat the rhythm our love keeps. Saxophone solo Lullabys forever, We will live in dreamland, Where we'll listen to our love grow stronger together. In lullabys so tender, When we kiss, surrender, To the music our hearts beat the rhythm our love keeps.

Parlez? 01:50
PARLEZ? Words and Music by Gary Tang I've heard, The language of romance, She teaches ev'ry word, While my heart beats the dance. Although, To her I may seem slow, Well, I've begun to learn, How deep the heart can yearn. If only my heart could touch hers, I know we would both find the words. PARLEZ? Non, je ne parle pas francais, 'Cause when she draws so near, My love is all I hear. PARLEZ? Parlez. PARLEZ? Parlez.

HOW I LOVE YOU Words and Music by Gary Tang Softly she turns, And moonlight moves off her cheek. Hair spun like gold, And lips that keep a promise sweet. The world I hold within my gaze, Why can't I find words that say: Just HOW I LOVE YOU And care for you. So deep, yet you'll never know. A secret smile, A special dream that won't keep, Daylight won't wait, And moonlight fades while she sleeps. My love, my life, my soul for you. Why can't I express to you. Just HOW I LOVE YOU And care for you. So deep, yet you'll never know. Interlude HOW I LOVE YOU And care for you. So deep, yet you'll never know. HOW I LOVE YOU And care for you. So deep, yet you'll never know. HOW I LOVE YOU And care for you. So deep, yet you'll never know.

EARTH AND SKY words and music by Gary Tang French words by Michelle Wilkerson Au'jourdhui je compris, Toutes les choses de la vie. Terre et ciel, mon amie, Toi et moi, sous la pluie. Nous sommes bien, Par ici, La mer et la plage allons-y. Just today, I have seen, All the things that have been. EARTH AND SKY my dear friend, When the rain knows no end. We go well hand in hand, Just like how the waves meet the sand.

DIVINE DAVINA words and music by Gary Tang You sing all the songs I forgot, You love like a heart that's self-taught, Ev'ry night, ev'ry day I dream on you, I do. DIVINE DAVINA so fine, To think of, to sing of, Divine Davina be mine, To sing of, to feel love. You glow like the sun on white sand, You know my love's faraway land, Under tropical star we run and hide, We tried. DIVINE DAVINA so fine, To think of, to sing of, DIVINE DAVINA be mine, To sing of, to feel love. Violin solo DIVINE DAVINA so fine, To think of, to sing of, DIVINE DAVINA be mine, To sing of, to feel love. DIVINE DAVINA so fine, To think of, to sing of, DIVINE DAVINA be mine, To sing of, to feel love divine.

about

Classic showtune style! "Love We Knew" and "Randi" feature Gary singing and playing piano: simple and heartfelt. With "Love We Knew" an rare take on the complex subject of divorce and "Randi" deals with detaching with love from a long distance romance.

"Parlez?" is a coy romance ballad for Gary's high school French teacher. "How I Love You" a deeply felt romance ballad for his wife Patricia now divorced. "Earth and Sky" was written with Michelle Wilkerson under the Chicago light rain and the final track "Divine Davina" describes a woman whose beauty is as light as the feeling of salt in the Cancun air.

Savor this romantic journey!
