Twinkle Lights (original) - Vesper 5 Year YouTube Anniversary

TWINKLE LIGHTS

Twinkle lights around my ankles
Boxes all around
Crunching snow beneath my footsteps
As my tree falls down
Pulled out all my Christmas records
Ones that beckon snow
And angels singing sweetly of
The love I used to know

Smiling I remember how
Your eyes would sparkle bright
Stoking logs to warm us
As the eggnog flowed all night
Cats were blankets on our laps
Nestled in asleep
Our cozy little family
Wrapped in holiday mystique

Twinkle lights around my ankles
Speckled with my tears
One for every Christmas
In our many merry years
Years I took for granted
Thinking many more would come
I raise a glass of eggnog
To the memory of your love.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! December 24, 2023 marks the 5 year anniversary of my YouTube channel and to celebrate this special occasion, I wanted to write a special song. I thought back to my very first video, a cover of Joni Mitchell's River (my favorite Joni song), and I decided that I would like to write an original song that is a nod to her beautiful composition - something melancholy and emotional that speaks of nostalgic sadness during the holidays. As human beings making our way in this challenging world, we carry so much heaviness around with us that doesn't suddenly disappear when the strains of Jingle Bells are heard every year. The heaviness of losing someone special is the heaviest burden of all.

I would like to offer a special thank you to all of my subscribers, new and old, who visit me here and take the time to comment on my music videos and offer words of kindness, support and encouragement. I appreciate each of you and always look forward to hearing from you. It keeps me going and brings me great joy to know my music touches you in any way :) Please stay with me as I continue on my musical adventures and this crazy journey called life.

I hope your holiday season and your new year are filled with happiness, love and light.

Love, Vesper
