Notes, Notings, and Common Refrains

Oooo! "Shine" is so nifty! Another rabbit hole. (Good thing. It's raining, an entirely grim weather vent for New Year's in Wisconsin.)

This song is called "Thanksgiving Eve," by Bob Franke--Sally Rogers' audio. I've found it eminently singable at all sorts of found-family gatherings, which often coincide with holidays:

THANKSGIVING EVE
(Bob Franke)

It's so easy to dream of the days gone by
So hard to think of the times to come
And the grace to accept every moment as a gift
Is a gift that is given to some

CHORUS: What can you do with our days
But work and hope
Let your dreams bind your work to your play
What can you do with each moment of your life
But love 'till you've loved it away
Love 'till you've loved it away

There are sorrows enough for the whole world's end
There are no guarantees but the grave
But the lives we have lived and the times we have spent
Are a treasure to precious to say

CHORUS
