It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

(originally by Andy Williams)

It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you be a good cheer
It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's the happ, happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings
And gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the happ, happiest season of all

There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
Of tales of the glories
Of Christmases long long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
Long, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near

It's the most wonderful time
Yes, the most wonderful time
Oh, the most wonderful time
Of the year

I'll Be Home For Christmas lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

(originally by Bing Crosby)

I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow
And mistletoe
And presents by the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

(originally by Brenda Lee)

Rockin' around the Christmas tree at the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see every couple try to stop
Rockin' around the Christmas tree let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie, and we'll do some caroling

Youwill get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Rockin' around the Christmas tree have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily in the new old-fashioned way

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Rockin' around the Christmas tree have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily in the new old-fashioned way

Silent Night lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, mother, and child
Holy infant, so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia

Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace

Oh Jesus Lord, at thy birth
Oh Jesus Lord, at thy birth

On a silent night

White Christmas lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

(originally by Bing Crosby)

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow, oh

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I said I'm dreaming
Of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases
Be white

The Christmas Song lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother’s child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

And so, I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you

Face The River (2022)




















Face The River lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

I am tired of the waiting
I can hear the record playing
But no music, just the needle
Heaven knows just how I feel

Cry, try, and try
Try, try, try
Try to face the river I cannot cross
That's only you and I

All the praying, all the pleading
On my bended knee, heart bleeding
We'll get past this, we'll pull through it
Wild horses couldn't do

Try, try, and try
Try, try, yeah, and try
Try to face the river I cannot cross
That's only you and I

And all the time I gave love
I never got the same love
Looking for signs, throw a line
You were, oh, you were mine

Try, try, and try
Try, try, Lord, I, I try
Try to face the river I cannot cross
That's only you and I, yeah
Try to face the river I cannot cross
That's only you and I

Summertime lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

I might never even know your name
If I hadn't taken half the time
To tell you that I had no shame
That I was gonna make you mine
But I let you be who you've become
Let the others wish they could have some
Let 'em have their bubblegum
While we fill up on summer

In the summertime
If I had a doubt, if I waited
In the summertime
Someone else might just've swung on in
In the summertime
Sun is comin' out
Celebrate it
In the summertime
We will never be this young again

Got a lot of catching up to do
And a lot of loving left to give
Less you feel you've got to prove
The more you wanna just let live
Even if you've been afraid of love
Or you're waiting for a little shove
A little bit could be enough
Just try it for the summer

In the summertime
If I had a doubt, if I waited
In the summertime
Someone else might just've swung on in
In the summertime
Sun is comin' out
Celebrate it
In the summertime
We will never be this young again

(In the summertime)
(Sweet, sweet, sweet, summertime)

In the summertime
If I had a doubt, if I waited
In the summertime
Someone else might just've swung on in
In the summertime
Sun is comin' out
Celebrate it
In the summertime
We will never be this young again

Yeah, in the summertime
If I had a doubt, if I waited
In the summertime
Someone else might just've swung on in
In the summertime
Sun is comin' out
Celebrate it
In the summertime
We will never be this young again, whoa

Ford lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Tryin', tired but I'm tryin'
This hill I've been climbin'
Oh I can't see the top
Old man, can you help me understand
Why I'm on this planet?
How do you know when to stop?
Working for a dollar
Well that's how you make a man feel broke
Working for a dollar
That's the only thing I know

"Just drive an old Ford
Count blessings and praise the Lord
Have less make it feel like more
Leave work at the front door
Work hard and you get paid
Don't give em your best days
Only so many left, save
Some of 'em up for the ones worth saving 'em for"

Patience, I've run out of patience
I need a vacation
I need out of this shift
Skydive, maybe see how fast I can drive
Too young to not feel alive
And I'm caught in a ditch
Passin' me a bottle
Oldman starts rollin' his own smoke
Says "you lost me at dollar
Here's the only thing I know

Just drive an old Ford
Count blessings and praise the Lord
Have less make it feel like more
Leave work at the front door
Work hard and you get paid
Don'tgive em your best days
Only so many left, save
Some of 'em up for the ones worth saving 'em for

Once you find your love, you hold her close and say her name
No amount of money's gonna make you feel the same
Can't you see?
Can't you see?

Just drive an old Ford
Count blessings and praise the Lord
Have less make it feel like more
Leave work at the front door
Work hard and you get paid
Don't give em your best days
Only so many left, save
Some of 'em up for the ones worth saving 'em for"

Freedom (Johnny's Song) lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Johnny's got a family of five, and he works for the state
He got debts that are piling high, and an old Chevrolet
Willie on the dash playin' tunes
Smells like grass cuz he's covered in June
Picking up extra cash mowing lawns with his kids

Stained sneakers walk through the church as they kneel down to pray
Sayin' "please Lord, have pity on us, take our troubles away
These seeds that we're plantin' with you
We hope one day, oh Lord will come true"
I remember even right now that look on his face

So we'd get high, and we'd ramble
Get drunk and we'd gamble
Teenagers cruising at 75
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama"
Stay out all damn weekend
Sundays are for sleeping
Nobody leaving this planet alive
Might as well enjoy your freedom
Yeah freedom

Mom says she gonna enlist, and the Corps pays for school
They'll have more money they could work with if she just had the tools
John says "What you think's best
I'll work doubles and make up the rest"
Still drown in college debt I'll never forgive or forget

So we'd get high, and we'd ramble
Get drunk and we'd gamble
Teenagers cruising at 75
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama"
Stay out all damn weekend
Sundays are for sleeping
Nobody leaving this planet alive
Might as well enjoy your freedom
Yeah freedom

Went to Woodstock
With his draft papers in his back pocket from Vietnam
Workin' in the slammer
Did hard time
Went through hell together, they'd die for each other
Oh these lovers in arms

Yeah they'd get high and they'd ramble
Get drunk and they'd gamble
When they were younger like everyone else
Like you couldn't blow out their candle
Stay out all damn weekend
Sundays are for sleeping
Nobody leaving this planet alive
Might as well enjoy your freedom
Yeah freedom

Greatest Of All Time lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Letting my love-light, my love-light shine
Right through the battles
Just like an arrow, straight to your heart
Even a wounded one like mine
Facing the gallows
That stood in the shadows
Is coming out of the dark

Even though I'd almost
Almost given up

But I did, I did it
I really stuck with it
Someone found love
I'm so excited
And this world, this life
So happy, could cry
This angel of mine
Greatest of all time

She's the greatest
The greatest

Yeah, I landed on the real thing, is this real life?
Used to be jaded, but that feeling faded
When I gave it a try
Put away my problems and all of my pride
Put on my halo, with my best foot forward
And I put in the time

I went through the darkness
Just to see the light

Yeah I did, I did it
I really stuck with it
Someone found love
I'm so excited
In this world, this life
So happy could cry
This angel of mine
Greatest of all time

She's the greatest
The greatest

Used to think love was blind
Until I saw you
Leaning on the hands of time sayin'
That there's no tomorrow
Now you're all I'm wanting
Now you're all I'm wanting

But I did, I did it
I really stuck with it
Someone found love
I'm so excited
In this world, this life
So happy could cry
This angel of mine
Greatest of all time

She's the greatest
The greatest
Greatest of all time
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
She's the greatest
The greatest

Destiny lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Love, the only love I need
The only one for me
My truth, my destiny

And there
Beyond a million stars
I'll wipe away the scars
For all eternity

And when asking how I knew
Your love was so true
Heaven only had to know

And we, we are the million to one
The children of the sun
A world so far away

Cry, let me be your tears
Let me face your fears
We've already lit the darkness

You and I
Look how far we've come
Walking on the sun
Stay forever in my heart

Lighthouse lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

We can't get off of this old
Wreckage of a boat unless we
Make a few phone calls
And that will be hard
The power is down and the supplies almost drowned
It's a matter of luck if we can figure this out

We're all victims of something without any meaning
A modest salvation, it's all very seemingly clear

Lighthouse, find me
Lighthouse, blind me

And we stand in the mirror and tell ourselves lies
Just to get through the trouble of solving the problem that's here

Lighthouse, find me
Lighthouse, blind me

The waters are rocky and the crew's pretty scared
Better get ourselves ready for a stormy affair
We followed the stars cause that's the right thing to do
But this isn't the water it's just me and you

We're all victims of something without any meaning
A modest salvation, it's all very seemingly clear

Lighthouse, find me
Lighthouse, blind me

And we stand in the mirror and tell ourselves lies
Just to get through the trouble of solving the problem that's here

Lighthouse, find me
Lighthouse, blind me

Can I get away, Can I get away?
Somebody save me
Can I get away, Can I get away?
Somebody save me, save me

We're all victims of something without any meaning
A modest salvation, it's all very seemingly clear

Lighthouse, find me
Lighthouse, blind me

And we stand in the mirror and tell ourselves lies
Just to get through the trouble of solving the problem that's here

Lighthouse, find me
Lighthouse, blind me

Chasing When lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Why do we continue
To follow this pilot
Into the burning sun
Waving a banner
Set by a standard
Sold to the obvious ones
So set up the pins and knock 'em all down
When are we ever gonna learn?

I can't depend on
Waiting for the trend
I'm always on the outside
While you're chasing when
From the clothing to the culture probing
Movement of the moment
Always chasing when
Always chasing when

I read on the newsflash
The fashion of my class isn't the same as before
The new hyperactive, endorphin distracted
Way to not talk anymore
For every solution there's a problem
And for every problem, a war

I can't depend on
Waiting for the trend
I'm always on the outside
While you're chasing when
From the clothing to the culture probing
Movement of the moment
Always chasing when
Always chasing

I can't think about it
Like you think about it
Give me a sign
I can't think about it
I'd go out of my mind

I can't depend on
Waiting for the trend
I'm always on the outside
While you're chasing when
From the clothing to the culture probing
Movement of the moment
Always chasing when

I can't depend on
Waiting for the trend
I'm always on the outside
While you're chasing when
From the clothing to the culture probing
Movement of the moment
Always chasing when
Always chasing when

Hero In Our House lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

There was a hero in my house
I really miss her
That's her on the porch
Right there, holding my sister
Used to wake me up for school
Helped put on my clothes
Lunch in the fridge
Wrapped in foil to stay cold
And then she walked me out
The hero in my house

Now my heart
It's locked in a cage
Thrown into the river
I can't help this rage
Sometimes I wonder
What she's doing up there now
Do they see her like we do?
The hero in our house

Yeah we're all a little numb
That's not the intention
The things that we saw
Just hurt too much to mention
I hurt for the pain
Hurt and I'm grieving
Oddest thing is
There's just no getting even
Her body took her out
The hero in our house

Now this heart
It's locked in a cage
Thrown into theriver
I can't help this rage
Sometimes I wonder
What she's doing up there now
Do they see her like we do?
The hero in our house

Some things you can't forget
Some folks you don't either
Can try to outrun pain
You stop and feel the fever
I needto get drunk
Feeling so crazy
I need to get work done
But then I just get lazy
If she could see me now
The hero in our house
It really gets me down
It really bums me out

Now this heart
It's locked in a cage
Thrown into the river
I can't help this rage
But sometimes I wonder
What she's doing up there now
Do they see her like we do?
The hero in our house

There was a hero in our house
Sent down from heaven
Then she went back
'Fore the age of 67
But she told us all goodbye
Told us she was proud
And that's how she went out
The hero in our house

Let Someone In lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Underneath the surface
You're not hard to please
Simple satisfaction for simple needs
And this thing between us
What is there to lose?
Have a little faith like I have in you

Let someone in
It's so good
Open up
Let someone in
To your heart
Let me in

Look at what we've started
How we lit the fuse
When you look at me I feel bulletproof
Let me be your shelter
Let me be your shield
Let me be the one that your soul can feel

Let someone in
It's so good
Open up
Let someone in
To your heart
Let me in

Those hours, those minutes
Each, each one we've lived in
All of them lead up to this
One we're in

Let someone in
It's so good
Open up
Let someone in
To your heart
Let me in

Love love love love love
Love love love love
Love love love love love...

Laat Me Nooit Meer Los (Never Let Me Go) lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Never, never let me go

Soms ben ik kwetsbaar en alleen
En m'n enige troost zijn de muren om me heen
Ik wacht tot jij weer bij me bent
Alleen jij staat me bij als de spiegel mij niet kent

En ik zie
Oh, oh
Donderwolken boven zee
Oh, oh
Dus sla je armen om me heen en

Laat me, laat me
Laat me nooit meer los
Laat me, laat me
Laat me nooit meer los
Ik zou niet weten wat ik moet zonder jou
Ben niets zonder jou
Ik zit hier in het donker, dus hou me vast
En laat me, laat me
Laat me nooit meer los

Some days I live inside the past
Wonderin' if I might be sad, I might be damned
Blinding the darkness with your light
Bring me back, bring me home and I'm all right

And I said
Oh, oh
Just when I get weak again
Oh, oh
You're my heaven closing in

Never, never
Never let me go
Never, never
Never let me go
Couldn't stand this, something about you
Being around you
Takes me like a rocket to outer space
Never, never
Never let me go

Oh, jij laat alle wolken verdwijnen
Jij maakt dat ik blauw kan zien
In jouw armen voel ik me veilig
Dus ik smeek je, alsjeblieft
Jij laat alle wolken verdwijnen (All the clouds disappear)
Jij maakt dat ik blauw kan zien (I can see through the skies)
In jouw armen voel ik me veilig
Dus ik smeek je, alsjeblieft, oh (Hold on tight, I'm begging, please)

Laat me (Never), laat me (Never)
Laat me nooit meer los
Laat me (Never), laat me (Never)
Laat me nooit meer los
Ik zou niet weten wat ik moet zonder jou
Ben niets zonder jou
Ik zit hier in het donker, dus hou me vast
En laat me (Never), laat me (Never)
Laat me nooit meer los

Never, never let me go
