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 we're all ok In the end we're 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 On and on and on and on On and on and on and on 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 1, 000 picture frames screaming out He's not coming home," Because time elapsed photography Will hold your smiles 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
