The Year In Review

This year went by in the usual way

Some friends were lost

Some friends were made

Money was spent

Money was saved

And in the end were all OK

In the end were all OK

Maps were drawn and plans were blown

A ring was bought and rice was thrown

She'll sit in the second row

Looking at her heart up on the stage

What a way to end her day

If time is measured in memories

Don't set your clock to misery

The clicks should come from what you got

And not the things that you lost

Sing out sing out sing out your joy

Raise up raise up raise up your voice

And life goes on and on and on and on

Her love lies in a hospital bed

With tubes and wires that keep him fed

And when the lights go green to red

She whispers I wish that I could take your place

Because I don't think that I could stand to sleep

Inside of our wedding bed without your kisses and your freezing feet

Or getting dressed inside a closet filled with your old clothes

A thousand picture frames screaming out he's not coming home

Because time elapsed photography

Will hold your smile unnaturally

Your face is framed with what you lost

And not the things that you want

Sing out sing out sing out your joy

Raise up raise up raise up your voice

And life goes on and on and on and on
