Fate Needs Help
Copyright Tim Oleson 2009
Two people walking in the moonlight
Never thought that they would see this night
When their hearts would again... be healed.
Troubles lost, relationships gained.
They never thought they'd love again.
Turned out, their fate had never been sealed.
Chorus:
When I wake in the morning, In the mirror I see
I see the man in charge looking back at me.
I could wait to see what happens but that'd be a crime,
Cause... in my opinion...
Fate needs help Sometimes.
I walked this road, a long time lonely.
I now realize that I was only
Putting off decisions, I needed to make
Chorus:
Fate needs help, sometimes
Fate... fate needs help
Fate needs help sometimes

In Heaven
Copyright Tim Oleson 2009
I've heard the legend many times before.
About a woman’s touch
that brings a man’s knees to the floor.
I walk this earth in search of this majesty.
A goddess, a princess
At her feet a wand would lay.
Devils and demons, she can cast them all away.
I walk this earth in search of this fantasy.
[Chorus] If I find an angel
In Heaven, I will be.
It’s a place where troubles vanish
And love is all I see.
I’m in Heaven
I can feel the heat of you radiate across the room.
I feel it searing me and healing all my wounds.
I walk this earth in search of this energy.
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I cannot face this world alone, will you light my way.
And as I approach your throne, don't turn me away.
In heaven I want to stay.
It took just one kiss, I needed nothing more.
Under this angel’s wings
I was ushered through Heaven’s door.
I walk this earth in search of this legacy.
[Chorus]

Thought I Was Done
Copyright Tim Oleson 2009
I thought I was done.
I thought the day was over
But there was one thing fate wanted me to do.
It was getting late. A new day had just started.
But it wasn't too late to fall in love with you.
I thought I was done
I thought I was done
I thought I was done with the day
But the day wasn't done with me
When I met you, I felt like I'd been hit by lightning
Hadn't felt that way in, oh, so many years.
I was caught off guard, my heart blew wide open
Where had those feelings been hiding before I met you.
Chorus:
Bridge:
I can't believe how hard and fast I fell for you.
I can't believe that you are here with me now,
And you want my love, too.
I thought I was done.
I thought the day was over
But there is one thing that I still want to do.
It's getting late. A new day has just started.
But it isn't too late, To make sweet love to you.
Chorus:

Platinum Blue
Copyright Tim Oleson 2009
We, yeah she and me, we were meant to be.
You can call it fate or call it destiny.
Well, I found out what "precious" means.
A hot cherished treasure in a pair of jeans.
Chorus:
She's five foot two, platinum blond with blues.
Platinum blue, Platinum blue
I'd gone on line through the digital door.
I wasn't really sure what I was looking for.
I found a wide selection before my eyes.
But there was only one that had me mesmerized.
Chorus:
She is five foot two, platinum blond with blues.
Platinum blue, Platinum blue
Bridge:
People look for silver and horde their gold
But if I was you,
I'd be watching for platinum blue
Platinum blue, Platinum blue,
She's got class, I'm so impressed.
She looks great in jeans or a party dress.
She's turning heads where ever she goes.
If she looks at you boys, you will know.
Chorus:
She is five foot two, looking at you through blues.
Platinum blue, Platinum blue
Platinum blue, Platinum blue

Take My Chances
Copyright Tim Oleson 2009
Before I found you, I had no clue
Blindly searching I groped around in the dark.
Then I found you. That's when I knew.
My luck's turning, life became a walk in the park
You have stolen my heart.
Chorus:
Life is a game of chance... Take your chances (whispered)
Finally found romance... Take take your chances (whispered)
Even though they say I can't...
I'll take my chances with you!
I met you at the mall. I gave you a call.
When you answered, my heart took a leap of faith.
I passed the ball. Thought I'd risk it all.
Just like Romeo, my heart wasn't willing to wait
I now await my fate.
-------- Chorus---------- --------Bridge-------
I understand how you might be afraid.
But I promise you, I'll be with you until my dying days.
Now we're on our own, no longer alone.
We've got each other and our good luck is long overdue.
Let's roll the dice, no matter what the price,
I've decided and I'm going to be gambling on you
It's just us two.
Chorus
