Darling 03:55
I wish that I could see what you see. Those glowing, ever knowing eyes Cause when you do you stare right through me darling don't you darling? Am I just some insufferable nuisance? Who comes into your life each day
Begging for forgiveness aren’t I darling ? But you’re not so quick to give darling I guess we share a few things in common Made it my business darling To find a few things that we have In common I love to smell the softness as you brush your face on mine When I can I wrap my arms around you darling We both know that you’re so smarter And I have so very much to learn It really doesn't matter to me that much darling I know you care darling I know we share a few things in common Breathe in the air darling It’s just a thing, thing that we have In common Late at night and I am dreaming that you and I are oh so close And the rhythm of your heart is beating with me darling We’re sharing dreams darling In fields of green lit up by the moon We’re running free darling that’s two or three things that we have In common we have in common we have in common

doo do do do - do do doo do do do doo do do do - doo do do dooo I wrote you a letter and I just might send it someday When I, I stop pretending That my life’s ok and I wake up to a new day Filled with change You know it’s coming my way Ohhhh I hate my reflection of you in me This tainted perception Of who I should be In your world of perfection All I needed you to see...the beauty inside of me Are we not beautiful in all of our brokeness And do you still love me when I’m cryin’out loud Can you see that I was not put here on this earth Just to make you so incredible proud Ohhhh I hate my reflection of you in me This tainted perception Of who I should be In your world of perfection All I needed you to see...the beauty inside of me All dressed up in Christmas bows Pretty boxes in a row Sitting on the shelf below so as not to call attention One falls off the cupboard shelf Another falls in spite of herself The others left to fend for themselves and the wrapping comes apart Ohhhh I hate my reflection of you in me This tainted perception Of who I should be In your world of perfection All I needed you to see...the beauty inside of me...the beauty inside of me doo do do do - do do doo do do do doo do do do - doo do do dooo

I have traveled far and wide And soon I’ll be by your side Just a few stops to make along the way And that’s where I am today Love wait for me I need to know that you wont let go Love wait for me Love wait for me In a garden we prayed so long ago Now it’s hidden beneath this snow and I new life just trying hard to grow But the ice is melting slow Love wait for me These beautiful flowers will soon be ours Love wait for me Love wait for me Love grows oh so slowly We might take all our lives to find my one and only Love grows slowly Love wait for me These storms they blind me but the bad road’s behind me Love wait for me Love wait for me Love wait for me Love wait for me

Walk With Me 03:03
I wear my heart out on my sleeve I want so much for you to believe I put my hand in yours faithfully Come with me baby, walk with me Don't you want to walk with me now Take a big leap and the net will follow you Don't you want to walk with me now Take a big leap and the net will follow you and I As each day goes by, take a walk with me Don't you wanna walk with me Don't you wanna walk with me Don't you wanna walk with me now Two of us shaking in the early morning light Anticipating a love we can't resist Blue moon is fading into a California sun A new day waiting come on baby, come on baby! Don't you wanna walk with me Don't you wanna walk with me Don't you wanna walk with me now

You and I stayed up pretty late last night Talking underneath the stars You tucked me into bed and turned out the lights Then I heard the engine of your car My heart is beating with some new information I don’t know what to say But every time you’re near I feel a strange sensation It won’t go away I can’t stop thinking about you I got a weird fascination There’s nothing I can do I got a weird fascination weird fascination a weird fascination .... about you Your angel came to me in a silhouette As I closed my eyes to dream Whispered in my ear and brushed away my tears Gave me back my innocence Then something you said stuck out in my head And made it safe to believe That love lost could be found again And broken hearts could redeemed Like a deep dark secret we knew This weird fascination Just trying to come true I got a weird fascination weird fascination a weird fascination about you But I believe I could be with you Can you help me figure it out This weird fascination It’s got me laughing out loud I got a weird fascination weird fascination a weird fascination about you

You tell me you love me and then You go on and act like fool Laugh like it's cool What do you take me for When I can see right through this attitude, C’mon is this the best we can do? Cuz I won't be fooled by you again These days have gotta end, They just got to end, yeah No I won't be fooled by you again I’ve got a better friend somewhere So I listen to all your words Try to read between every line Where nothing is black or white I've given you every chance To show me you understand Just to I am could you show me you can tonight Cuz I won't be fooled by you again These days have gotta end, They just got to end, yeah No I won't be fooled by you again I’ve got a better friend somewhere I’ve got a better friend yeah yeah I’ve got a better friend somewhere Baby I know that you're rocking this boat When you want to be close Why are giving up hope I know it's hard to think we haven’t come far But look where we are From the place that we started from And I won't be fooled by you again These days have gotta end, They just got to end, yeah No I won't be fooled by you again I’ve got a better friend somewhere Baby I know that you're rocking this boat Baby I know that you're giving up hope I won't be fooled by you again I’ve got a better friend out there

Kiki Ebsen, an accomplished singer and songwriter, known for backing up such artists as Christopher Cross, Wilson Phillips, Boz Scaggs, Tracy Chapman and many more, introduces her first original CD in five years. Already with four CD's under her belt, her latest endeavor is an impressive collection of thirteen self-penned tunes inspired by her own real life stories. The CD is beautifully packaged in a full color digipack filled with pictures and lyrics for each song. Taking a candid look at her own relationships, Kiki carries the listener on an emotional journey of honesty, passion, purpose and peace as she negotiates her way through her own darkness and eventually back into the light. This CD is sure to connect with everyone who wishes to dig deeper for the truth in their heart, past the superficial, to find....The Beauty Inside

"Better Friends" may be one of the best hooks I have ever heard.
Christopher Cross on "The Beauty Inside"

“From her slinky, earthy style to her rich sense of melody and beautiful voice, this is full of gems and treasures that I will enjoy forever.”
Wendy Wilson (of Wilson/Phillips) on "The Beauty Inside"

“Apart from interpreting hit songs from other artists like she did last year on her album ‘Cool Songs Volume 1’, Los Angeles’ singer-songwriter and keyboards player Kiki Ebsen demonstrates on her latest release ‘The Beauty Inside’ that she can also write rich and valuable compositions and sing these songs in a diversity of music styles like pop, folk and jazz.”

“The Beauty Inside"...contains a nice mixture of smooth Singer/Songwriter Pop/Rock, some Westcoast and a bit of AOR/Poprock .... which combined makes up for an excellent release”
Strutterzine

"Darling" has such a wonderful surprises in the tempos with the melody that implore you to join in your story. This magical honesty expressing the undeniable reality of relationships and the struggle to accept it.
