Late November

January blasted through
It always feels so cold
Winter tore up the outside
and inside tore his soul
The next two months were better
April brought the rain
May and June were soft and sweet
But never without pain

Now it’s LATE NOVEMBER
Getting closer to December
A few weeks of counting down ‘til Christmas day
It’ll get him through the hard times
Be the rope that he climbs

It helps him to hold on some way, somehow

Christmas’ coming soon
But it’s LATE NOVEMBER now

Julie passed this year
Time’s keeps rolling on
He's always been a fighter
But a different line is drawn
Expectation came with August
Moving through half of the year
She always loved September
Most months bring back his tears

She left him last December
Never got her Christmas kiss
He aches to hold her one last moment
And he keeps living for that wish

Now it’s LATE NOVEMBER
Getting closer to December
A few weeks of counting down ‘til Christmas day
It’ll get him through the hard times
Be the rope that he climbs
It helps him to hold on some way, somehow
Christmas’ coming soon
But it’s LATE NOVEMBER now

Ohh it’s LATE NOVEMBER now
