A musical Mashup for all those I've had the pleasure of spending time with last year.

THE BEGINNING

You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Well, maybe there's a God above
But it's not a crime that you're hear tonight
It's not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the Light
Love is not some kind of victory march, no
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Now I've done my best, I know it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come here just to fool you
I'll stand right here before the Lord of song
With nothing on my tongue, but Hallelujah

THE AWAKENING

It's a little bit funny Lord, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but, boy, if I did

I know it's not much, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
You gave me a gift and I'm gonna sing it
And you can tell everybody that this is your song

It may be a quite, quite simple, but now that's it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I wrote down in words, words
How wonderful life is when you're in the world, world, world

I'll write a few verses and then I get the blues
But the sun's been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you and people like me
I wanna, I wanna keep turning it on

So excuse me for forgetting, but these things I do
You see, you see I've forgotten if they're green or blue
Anyway the thing is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
You have the sweetest eyes, you've got the sweetest eyes
The clearest eyes I've ever seen,

I hope you go back, I hope you, I hope you go back and tell everybody
That this is your song (this is your song)
It may be quite, quite simple, but now that's it's done
How wonderful life is, when you're in the world, world, world, world (2)

THE JEALOUSY

Will drive you MAD

His eyes upon your face
His hand upon your hand
His lips caress your skin
It's more than I can stand
Why does my heart cry?
Feelings I can't fight
You're free to leave me, but just don't deceive me (3)

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

Me and Mrs. Jones, we got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it go now

Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite song
Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going on

We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it go now
We gotta be extra careful
That we don't build our hopes too high
'Cause she's got her own obligations and so do I

Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones

Well, it's time for us to be leaving
And it hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
And now she'll go her way, I'll go mine
But tomorrow we'll meet at the same place, the same time
Me and Mrs., Mrs., Mrs., Mrs. Jones
