lyrics

There's a picture of you that i took next to last year's tree
You're hanging up tinsel and turning your face to smile at me
I know just where it's kept, tucked inside of a book
I know where to find it but I can't stand to look
At the photo i took of you standing next to last year's tree

We kept it through new year's, and then for 3 weeks more
til all of the needles were brown and shedding all over the floor
when I'm cleaning the carpet I still find a few
They remind me of Christmas and last year and you
Like the photo i took of you standing next to last year's tree

It's the biggest that we've ever gotten by far
We said as we tied it to the roof of the car
Merry christmas to you, wherever you are

Put the lights on the tree, hang the sweet decorations around your home
Hug the people you love, we never know what tomorrow holds
Just like last year's tree, Christmas joy just can't last
And memories fade, nearly almost as fast
as the photo i took of you standing next to last year's tree

Rosine recommends:

I Water Your Dreams: The Complete Studio Tracks (1991-93)
by Kurt Hoffman's Band of Weeds

Kurt Hoffman is a genius. This sort of third-stream stuff combines the best of chamber-y composition with jazz improv and a good dose of rock. Rosine

The Heavens: The Atheist Gospel Trombone Album
by Jacob Garchik

Stumbled on this and thought about it a lot in the early stages of making my album "L." Brilliant playing, composing and arranging. Rosine

The Last Siesta
by King City

Cartoon jazz with punk energy and secretly brilliant composition. Their second album is aces, too. Rosine
