santa claus you won't believe what i heard
half of this world in darkness
nothing to eat nothing underneath the christmas tree
empty as could be
the gifts we give our children turn into dust
but family lasts forever
christmas is here happiness and cheer to all the world
each and every one of us
***
stick close
to the ones you love the most
lilya
be good to them
don't for
a second think that we
your family
don't have your back
my goodness
how could it be so
that such a girl exists?
lilya
don't fear
if you ever need a friend
lilya
i'm always here
write me
how you're doing everyday
lilya
i'll write you back
you're young and your happiness will come

it was just the other day when
i walked over to see her
and have lunch with them
she was standing in the kitchen
waiting
writing out charts of what her fractions were
we walked to the store to buy a couple groceries and bring them back to where we were before
gabriella i like to walk and talk with you and sure would like to make it happen more
concentrating on the task at her hands
transforms her fingers into works of art

so so close
the choices that you chose
brought you where you're at
for a reason
but everybody knows
its never easy
when you are
so far away from home
patience
clara
you know what to do
and if you can't stay where you'd like then
there's other places you
might find what you're looking for
and have cleaner air to boot
if i ran a country then i
would let you stay as long as you'd like
Clara you're an asset to us
Clara you are one of a kind
Never feel unwanted because
the freshest ginger everybody needs one
don't have to fly to Cambodia
vis-a-vis a visa for you
the bureaucratic redtape in life
will drive you crazy but never let it break you
Clara you're an asset to us
Clara you are one of a kind

we had the upstairs bedrooms
for many years growing up
we were happy to be in proximity
sister down the hall from me
but now we've seen that time is
ever a vagabond
both doing fine
just at opposite ends of the coastal line
but someday Katherine
we will rectify
how many months go by between each visit
oh how it seems that
a longer life
is what we need
to find the time
to take off work
and see each other
where we live
and how we spend
our daily lives
and what we do
and where we eat
and what our friends are like
and how we pass
the time with them
katherine
i must confess
i wouldn't be the person that
i am today
if not for you

ich verstehe dass
das leben kein ponyhof ist
mein schatz hat mich fur das Vaterland verlassen
aber ich sehe den Mond uber Kensington
und ich weiss dass wir in dem gleichen Mond suchen
und wo du hingehst, da will auch ich hingehen (this last line is straight up stolen from the Liebeslied in Die Dreigroschenoper and the "Mond uber Kensington" line is a reference to the "Mond uber Soho" line in the same song)
Deutschland Deutschland uber alles Deutschland

Denise it's been awhile
I hope that all is well with you
looks like the years and miles
have come between the two of us
each second a child is born
needing a mother
lying in a manger
Vietnam or Moscow
straight to you
i met you as a boy
you helped to bring me up
that time when you chased me down our block
was not unwarranted at all
can't choose your family
even the ones that
aren't related by blood
but you love them unconditionally

red beads hung up leading up to christmas
the chieftains bells of dublin playing through the house
our dad knew
how to
make christmas something
special, sacred, magical
to us his children
stockings by the reindeer candelabra
the pole that measured how high our tree could be
red and white striped
fire in the fireplace
time will pass but christmas with my dad will be with me always

you and i are kindred spirits
and always will be
need time alone to think and question
what does it all mean
frugal with our humble earnings
but partial to nice things
anxious for a hazy future
and whatever it might bring
mother of mine
a life is a long time
mother of mine
look and we will find
mother of mine
follow the green lights
mother of mine
we're all gonna be alright
day to day peaks and valleys
highs and lows
every life is rife with worries
as sure as the grass grows
but while some fears are circumstantial
others are not
as soon as we zoom out a little
we realize what we've got
mother of mine
a life is a long time
mother of mine
look and we will find
mother of mine
follow the green lights
mother of mine
we're all gonna be alright
mother of mine

what a mean little dog
what a tiny, little, mean dog
that's what everybody seems to think but
i can tell you that she
is the sweetest little puppy
i can't get enough of that dog
Eliška you're for me
loyal, soft, and sweet
you'd spend all day beneath the sheets
i just cannot get enough of that dog
well her mother and me
are as proud as could be
elegant and dignified and lazy
well she wouldn't hurt a fly
though she once killed a lizard
but i think he might have had it coming
Eliška you're for me
loyal, soft, and sweet
you'd spend all day beneath the sheets
i just cannot get enough of that dog

nothing like the feeling of christmas
holy night nothing like christmas
don't you be an Ebenezer
do a good deed give a present
tell your friends you love them
there's no time like christmas time
silent night right before christmas
candle light red and white christmas
stuff a stocking eat a piece of
peppermint or sugar plum make
merry with your loved ones
or christmas will pass you by
