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
