Softer On My Mind

(album: The Holly & The Ivy - 2020)

There in the dark we lit a candle
Carved nights like a totem, Called time a silver spoon
Voices in chorus, slicing the snow
December's a cairn, stacked both joy & woe

Softer on my mind, it doesn't have to be perfect to be right, Afterall
We felt a part, we felt a part of it, you were the heart of it, you were the heart of it

Sippin on mulled wine, while Kenny G plays the sax
Watching Pretty Woman, like we've done in years past
Board games and chaos, politics and feuds
Pictures are taken, but they're missing you

Softer on my mind, it doesn't have to be perfect to be right, Afterall
We felt a part, we felt a part of it, you were the heart of it, you were the heart of it

Softer on my mind, it doesn't have to be perfect to be right
Softer on my mind, breathing in the memories like it's the first time, Afterall
We felt a part, we felt a part of it, you were the heart of it, you were the heart of it

We felt a part, we felt a part of it
You were the heart, Your were the heart of it
