"Time Well Spent"
I pissed you off
Seconds before the New Year
So I stopped
What I was doing in fear
That I would
Start it off on the wrong foot
And I knew I could
Make you feel better, just look
I ran and ran
Up the stairs
As fast as I can
I made it to you
And I gave you a hug
And told you I loved you
You’ve been there
And I care – I care
Grabbed some eggnog
I had to use the restroom
And I ran before the clock
Could change over, phew
I ran and ran
Back through
As fast as I can
Up to you
I gave you a hug
And I told you I loved you
You’ve been there
And I care – I care
Counting down
The seconds that last
Forever in sound
Memories from the past
Come back again
Thankful for the year that had been
I sat beside you
On the couch
The ball dropped in Times
Square and I slouched
And then I got up
To give you a hug
And I told you I loved you
You’ve been there (for me)
And I care – I care
Phone calls
Drunken pals
Calling to wish
Us a happy new year
Firecrackers shot off
Time stood still
As I watched
It soar
It roared
Through the sky
Bang, it went
Ahh - time well spent
I came inside
To wish you
A happy new year
Nothing I feared
Another came and went
I know myself better
And I’m glad you were there
And I care – I care
Thank you, Mom
For being there
I love you, Mom
I care – I care
