The Year in Review Lyrics

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
