The First Noël (with Faith Hill) - Josh Groban

TV flashes down the hall Paintin' pictures on the wall And you're still sleeping on my knees And in the glow of silver light I trace the lines above your eyes Just another wrinkle that you can blame on me But I can hear the current of the freeway in the distance, if I keep listenin' And I wonder if you ever thought of streamin' off, somewhere with it Am I not what you thought? Will you get tired of what you got? If I can't give you anymore Than weathered ships and distant shores Would you still be my compass? Yeah 'Cause you keep lovin' me the same I don't know how but you still stay with me, baby You stay with me, baby Another day, another week We'll slip back in old routines 'Til nights like these come in between Simple moments in the dark Ones that life can't tear apart They come along, oh just when we need And still hear the current of the freeway in the distance but I stop listenin' 'Cause I know you'll stay even though the waves are always shiftin' We're fightin' our way through, I guess I always knew If I can't give you anymore Than weathered ships and distant shores Would you still be my compass? Yeah 'Cause you keep lovin' me the same I don't know how but you still stay with me, baby You stay with me, baby 'Cause you keep lovin' me the same I don't know how but you still stay with me, baby You stay with me baby, oh you stay with me TV flashes down the hall Paintin' pictures on the wall And you're still sleeping on my knees

So hot outside all I can wear is these cut off overalls And sandals on my feet But I emptied my pockets for a bus ticket Just so I could sit there on a broken seat I got no place I should go I got no worries you know Second or seventh street It doesn't matter to me 'Cause you're mine That's all I need to know The sunshine's everywhere we go It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night Yeah,I'm the lucky one I'm the lucky one Well, I pulled back down to my upstreet apartment The air never works in that old place Twenty-seven I thought I'd be further along Than just this rented space I got no papers to read I got no cable TV,no And I got no places to be I got no people to meet 'Cause you're mine That's all I need to know The sunshine's everywhere we go It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night Yeah,I'm the lucky one I'm the lucky one Yeah,I'm the lucky one I'm on a roll When I'm with you Don't stop me now I just can't lose 'Cause you're mine That's all I need to know The sunshine's everywhere we go It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night 'Cause you're mine That's all I need to know The sunshine's everywhere we go It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night Yeah, I'm the lucky one (I'm the lucky one) I'm the lucky one (I'm the lucky one) Yeah I'm the lucky one (I'm the lucky one) I'm the lucky one

I hear every word they say They tell me to stay away They say I'm better off without you, baby You've caused me nothing but pain Heartache's your middle name But seems I never see it coming I'll just admit it, baby You really drive me crazy Let go of my heart 'Cause every time you're near me I can't think clearly Defenses fall apart I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way You're the hardest lesson, baby, of my life I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way Someday baby, I will get it right Ohhh I never will understand Why I let you think you can Treat me any way you please, baby I guess I hope someday You'll settle down and say Give me all the love I need, baby Time and time I've found You always let me down Always ends the same way You'd think that I could see the way you're treatin' me Won't ever change I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way You're the hardest lesson, baby, of my life I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way Someday baby, I will get it right If I could just hold on, (just hold on) If I could just be strong,(just be strong) My heart would see it's wrong, lovin' you,(lovin' you) Lovin' you Hey, hey, hey La, la Hey Here we go I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way You're the hardest lesson, baby, of my life I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way Someday baby, I will get it right Livin' and lovin' the hard way You're the hardest lesson, oh baby, of my life Livin' and lovin' the hard way Someday, I will, yeah, get it right Ohhh Ohhhhh...

Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through For you Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by If you smile And maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through For you Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile

Some days I can't say why I'm feeling lonely And some days I am too proud to ask for help And I stumble through the noise trying to find some peace A stranger in the crowd, I lose myself So I walk down to the river Where the troubles, they can't find me Let the waters there remind me The sun will be there when we wake I walk down to the river Though I might not understand it It's not always as we planned it But we grow stronger when we break So I walk down to the river I walk down to the river This raging world can get so overwhelming Looking for a meaning when it won't make sense In my head, it's getting loud like I can't outrun this cloud No matter where I go, well there I am So I walk down to the river Where the troubles, they can't find me Let the waters there remind me The sun will be there when we wake I walk down to the river Though I might not understand it It's not always as we planned it But we grow stronger when we break So I walk down (walk down) to the river (down) I walk down (walk down) to the river (down) Let the calm pull me under Far beyond the thunder And tell me it will all be okay Let the waves take all my worries Conquer them with fury Give me shelter, be my escape I walk down to the river Where the troubles, they can't find me Let the waters there remind me The sun will be there when we wake I walk down to the river Though I might not understand it It's not always as we planned it But we grow stronger when we break So I walk down (walk down) to the river (down) I walk down (walk down) to the river (down) I walk down to the river (down) I walk down to the river, to the river (down) To the river I walk down, oh, oh, oh, oh To the river, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh
