Younger Me - Aimee Carty.mp3

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Aimee Carty
[00:00.000]Next week I sing in choir
[00:02.823]When we stand around the tree
[00:05.810]I've never missed a Christmas
[00:08.059]From 2010 to 23
[00:11.123]Every year I get a solo
[00:13.581]Every year I learn the words
[00:16.227]I used to get so nervous
[00:18.834]It'd make my stomach hurt
[00:21.575]But I always powered through
[00:23.974]And over time it got much better
[00:26.946]Younger me was pretty shy
[00:29.391]But younger me was clever
[00:31.260]So I'd distract myself while I waited for my verse
[00:35.156]And it took forever
[00:37.364]Younger me, I'd love to tell her
[00:42.028]
[00:43.105]Don't gotta be perfect all the time, my love
[00:48.000]No, you don't see it, but you've come so far
[00:53.189]I know you're trying to do your best
[00:56.194]But just lay your mind to rest
[00:58.501]People will love you for the way you are
[01:02.738]
[01:03.668]So when I'm singing in the bleak midwinter
[01:07.359]And oh, let it snow
[01:09.317]I'm thinking oh, where'd it go?
[01:12.350]All the time, I guess it's fine
[01:14.840]But I just find that there's something about
[01:18.533]Singing round that tree
[01:21.710]That makes me think of all the things I'd love to say to younger me
[01:28.437]
[01:32.281]Next week I sing in choir
[01:34.743]When we stand beneath the lights
[01:36.723]Hard to believe after the next one
[01:39.674]I've spent fourteen nights
[01:42.285]Over fourteen different years
[01:44.863]Singing to that crowd
[01:47.639]Oh I used to get so nervous
[01:49.606]I have to look down at the ground
[01:52.162]But oh I always powered through
[01:54.534]And I always did it well
[01:57.240]Younger me was good at hiding it so people couldn't tell
[02:02.122]That I counted ten and I held my breath when I stood there waiting for my cue
[02:07.893]Younger me knew lots of things, but how I wish her knew
[02:12.045]
[02:13.196]Don't gotta be perfect all the time, my love
[02:17.333]No, you don't see it, but you've come so far
[02:23.132]I know you're trying to do and proud
[02:26.445]But my darling, you're allowed
[02:29.199]To have things to figure out
[02:31.970]And I'd always try to aim above the bar
[02:35.178]Singing, shine the light
[02:37.233]And oh, holy night
[02:39.550]I'm thinking over the past, over the years
[02:43.019]All of the laughs, all of the tears
[02:45.604]Oh, there's just something about singing round that tree
[02:50.521]That makes me think of all the things I'd love to say
[02:56.082]To younger me
[03:01.493]Younger me, it's okay, you're alright
[03:11.617]Younger me, oh you don't have to hide
[03:22.599]One day you'll be proud,
[03:24.252]One day you'll see
[03:27.760]Everything is how it's meant to be
[03:32.106]There's just something about singing round that tree
[03:37.054]That makes me think of all the things
[03:39.880]I'd love to say to younger me
