Helluva Year

Music & Lyrics by Michael Amidei

I can make you smile, I can sing you song
Make it feel right, when we both know it’s wrong
I can tell you a story, I can make the words rhyme
But I can’t stop the passing of time

Days go by, all they bring is pain
Look for the bright side, even through the rain
Another day, and we’re further in debt
I pray to God but he ain’t answered yet

It’s been a hard year, a hard on my heart year
I’ve lost family and friends and people I loved
In the last twelve months

It's been a hard time, Ain't no reason or rhyme
As I watch the year turning
I still feel the yearning
Of all us still left down here
It's been a helluva year…

We've had ups and downs, We had sun we had rain
We could feel the magic, We were never the same
I remember the mischief in your face
We took forever but now it’s too late

It’s been a rough year, A bitter and tough year
There are things that I wanted to say
But now I never will

It’s been a hard time, the fault is not yours or mine
There’s an empty place at my table tonight
I keep hoping that you’ll appear
It’s been a hell of a year…

Days go by, all they bring is pain
Look for the bright side, even through the rain
Another day, and we’re further in debt
I pray to God but he ain’t answered yet...

It’s been a hard year, a hard on my heart year
I’ve lost family and friends and people I loved
In the last twelve months

It's been a hard time, Ain't no reason or rhyme
As I watch the year turning
I still feel the yearning
Of all us still left down here
It's been a helluva year…
