lost in joy

Have yourself a little happy Christmas

Have a happy day

Let all your worries fall away

Once you have a little happy heart

Let the dreaming start

Happy new year is on it's way

Something in the air is ever calling

Dear friends to gather, near and far away

And we are all connected to each other

We're brother, sister, everyone, today

Have yourself a little happy Christmas

Have a happy day

Let all your worries fall away

Once you have a little happy heart

Let the dreaming start

Happy new year is on it's way

Have a happy happy Christmas

Have a happy happy day

If you're laughing everything will go your way

Have a happy happy Christmas

Have a happy happy day

Have a happy happy happy holiday

Have yourself a little happy Christmas

Have a happy day

Let all your worries fall away

Have yourself a little happy heart

Le the dreaming start

Happy new year is on it's way

It starts with hello, how are you? How's your day?

But it's always just the same

And there's nothing here to blame until we hang up

Catch a flight on a weekend

A couple of nights, then we're leaving again

To separate homes as we try to hold up the one we've build between us

Counting miles like counting sheep

I know it's eight hours on the road and two in the air

And water doesn't flow between, but trains go anywhere

I need a way to keep me sane, to keep you here, to keep up real oh

I know how far you are but I can't tell how far you feel

I thought that somehow we would always have forever I thought the promises we made would have a different end I thought the love we shared would keep us as we were It was the fire within me

We dreamed and plotted with abandon in this attic When we were gathered here the room became our citadel We were amazing then my sisters and I They were the fire within me

In this room I knew we were alive Nothing was too painful to survive We faced the world together The four of us forever side by side Everything I promised was for them I was theirs no matter where or when How can that be lost forever How when I gave everything with all my heart

pinch my arm & hope you're there finger, thumb, & disappear call it chaos call it right it only hurts until it rhymes until it rhymes what a shame how incomplete with more to say than slides between our teeth

2017 has been an incredible music year for me. This is a mashup that of some of the songs that made up my personal top 40.

Go on now, go, walk out the door You’re not welcome anymore You’re the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Did you think I’d crumble? Did you think I’d lay down and die? - I Will Survive (Demi Lovato version)

I haven’t eaten, I haven’t slept I haven’t smiled, I’ve only wept I’m replaying every single word you said -Saudade (Us the Duo)

Show me where it hurts and give me something real Lead me to the part of you That never really heals And say the words that burn when they leave your mouth Tell me your story, but don’t leave the good parts out -The Good Parts (Andy Grammar)

You say this circus love ain’t meant to last Well how 'bout we give us a chance? You don’t have to come & go Like a carnival I know we could have forever if we tried Whichever city you’re in next Promise me you won’t forget That we could have forever if we tried We could have forever if we tried -Carnival (Will Jay)

I don’t know what you’re up to But baby I see me and you Walking round through the town, always We can sail around the sea No one else just you and me Lay in the sand holding hands Always -Always (R5)

You can call the cops Call the police You stole my heart This one's a thief Call off the search Look at the facts I love you so much That I don't want it back -First Day of Summer (Jesse Ruben)

This ain’t about love This ain’t about love It’s the most beautiful smiles On the most broken of people inside -Ain’t About Love (Jae Jin)

You and me were meant to be I know it’s going to last forever I could talk for hours, girl honestly Every single word gets better with you -With You (The Lighter Side)

Jeepers creepers, where’d you get those peepers Jeepers creepers, where’d you get those eyes Gosh all git up, how’d they get so lit up Gosh all git up, how’d they get that size -Jeepers Creepers (Nikki Yanofsky version)

Girl, you spark my attention like a firefly Make me happy to be alive -Firefly (Jimmy Needham)

And from the way that I feel When that bell starts to peal I would swear I was falling I could swear I was falling It's almost like being in love -Almost Like Being in Love (Nat King Cole)

Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone Gazing at the people down below me All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone Hungry for the histories they show me All my life I memorize their faces Knowing them as they will never know me All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day Not above them But part of them

And out there Living in the sun Give me one day out there All I ask is one To hold forever Out there Where they all live unaware What I'd give What I'd dare Just to live one day out there

Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives Through the roofs and gables I can see them Ev'ry day they shout and scold and go about their lives Heedless of the gift it is to be them If I was in their skin I'd treasure ev'ry instant
