Lyrics

THIS YEAR

by Joi Veer


Gone to new places - met some new faces
And saw some old ones I hadn't seen for a while.
Undone a few wrongs - dreamed up a few songs
And dug up some old ones I hadn't sung for a while.

Until this moment, waiting for the ball about to drop,
I couldn't see what's right here.
With resolution, my world returns to me, and I'm on top.
I'm feeling lucky THIS YEAR.

Started some new things - flew high with my new wings
And discovered my old ones are still working pretty well.
Let down my defenses - followed my good senses
And got rid some old ones that weren't working so well.

Until this moment, counting down the seconds on the clock,
I thought the world had disappeared.
With resolution, my life reveals to me and I'm in shock.
I'm feeling lucky THIS YEAR.

Sometimes it's a blur of days and nights gone by -
Of this went wrong and that ain't right...but somehow I...

Came clean with my new self - made room for a new shelf
And dusted off some old ones I had forgotten for too long.
Moved closer to my love - renewed with friends I'm fond of
And said good-bye to some old ones I had remembered for too long.

And in this moment of looking back at everything I've got,
It's all becoming real clear.
The resolution makes me realize I've got a lot.
I'm feeling lucky THIS YEAR.
So very lucky THIS YEAR.
I'm feeling lucky THIS YEAR.
