A Minute to Midnight
A Minute to Midnight
Album By Anthony Lazaro
What's this chanting
All around the block
You hear the people counting
Staring at their clocks
You can see the children
Holding on their breath
Corks and bottles
Ready to pop out
No more crying
We're letting out
Another year of new loves,
Broken hearts and crazy, crazy rides
And when you're hearing the countdown
Goodbye old year
Thanks for being around
I feel the next one
Is going to slay
It’s a minute to Midnight
People smiling and embracing
They are having a great time
You can read it on their faces
It's a minute to Midnight
There's no way I'm feeling blue
‘Cause in a minute, at midnight
I'll be busy kissing you
Then
The sky will
Blossom up into a million
Colors
Rising
From the city roofs
And when you're hearing the countdown
Goodbye old year
Thanks for being around
I feel the next one
Is going to slay
It’s a minute to Midnight
People smiling and embracing
They are having a great time
You can read it on their faces
It's a minute to Midnight
There's no way I'm feeling blue
‘Cause in a minute at Midnight at my side
I'll be busy kissing you
It’s a minute to Midnight
People smiling and embracing
They are having a great time
You can read it on their faces
It's a minute to Midnight
There's no way I'm feeling blue
‘Cause in a minute at Midnight
I'll be busy kissing you
All around the block
You hear the people counting
Staring at their clocks
You can see the children
Holding on their breath
Corks and bottles
Ready to pop out
No more crying
We're letting out
Another year of new loves,
Broken hearts and crazy, crazy rides
And when you're hearing the countdown
Goodbye old year
Thanks for being around
I feel the next one
Is going to slay
It’s a minute to Midnight
People smiling and embracing
They are having a great time
You can read it on their faces
It's a minute to Midnight
There's no way I'm feeling blue
‘Cause in a minute, at midnight
I'll be busy kissing you
Then
The sky will
Blossom up into a million
Colors
Rising
From the city roofs
And when you're hearing the countdown
Goodbye old year
Thanks for being around
I feel the next one
Is going to slay
It’s a minute to Midnight
People smiling and embracing
They are having a great time
You can read it on their faces
It's a minute to Midnight
There's no way I'm feeling blue
‘Cause in a minute at Midnight at my side
I'll be busy kissing you
It’s a minute to Midnight
People smiling and embracing
They are having a great time
You can read it on their faces
It's a minute to Midnight
There's no way I'm feeling blue
‘Cause in a minute at Midnight
I'll be busy kissing you
I was lost in the heart of a foreign nation
In a shop to escape the rain
Not to have a conversion
But that's the moment you step in
To find some shelter too
Don’t get a word you're saying
But, girl, our eyes already knew
‘Cause I don't know
What your lips are saying
Don’t get a word
But it's the most beautiful thing
I've ever heard
It's just a small hello
That's all that we can say
It doesn't sound like much
But it's enough
To make me stay
It's just a small hello
But more than 1000 words
‘Cause it’s a small hello
That made my world flip and turn
Then the rain was taking steam
And started pouring
We just ignore the flood and
Laugh at the thunder roaring
‘Cause the drumming of the rain
Could not compete with
Two heartbeats like a train
At 3000 feet
‘Cause I don't know
What your lips are telling
Don’t get a word
But it's the most beautiful thing
I've ever heard
It's just a small hello
That's all that we can say
It doesn't sound like much
But it's enough
To make me stay
It's just a small hello
But more than 1000 words
‘Cause it’s a small hello
That made my world flip and turn
In a shop to escape the rain
Not to have a conversion
But that's the moment you step in
To find some shelter too
Don’t get a word you're saying
But, girl, our eyes already knew
‘Cause I don't know
What your lips are saying
Don’t get a word
But it's the most beautiful thing
I've ever heard
It's just a small hello
That's all that we can say
It doesn't sound like much
But it's enough
To make me stay
It's just a small hello
But more than 1000 words
‘Cause it’s a small hello
That made my world flip and turn
Then the rain was taking steam
And started pouring
We just ignore the flood and
Laugh at the thunder roaring
‘Cause the drumming of the rain
Could not compete with
Two heartbeats like a train
At 3000 feet
‘Cause I don't know
What your lips are telling
Don’t get a word
But it's the most beautiful thing
I've ever heard
It's just a small hello
That's all that we can say
It doesn't sound like much
But it's enough
To make me stay
It's just a small hello
But more than 1000 words
‘Cause it’s a small hello
That made my world flip and turn
Different waves
Different strands of life
Primal codes
Cryptic by design
We just flow
Like two floating logs
The river is wild
And there’s no way to pause
And if you think
You know what there’s in store
Hold on tight
You are out for some fun
And if you think
You know what fate’s in store
Brace yourself for change
‘Cause who you are
Was never set in stone
And things go down
With a magic of their own
And when you think
You got all figured out
Life has its way
To drop you from the clouds
So we hang
On to our small things
Trying to guess
What tomorrow bring
But as a Poet
From Chicago
Used to say
Carpe diem
Which means seize the day
And if you think
You know what there’s in store
Hold on tight
You are out for some fun
If you think
You know what fate’s in store
Brace yourself for change
‘Cause who you are
Was never set in stone
And things go down
With a magic of their own
And when you think
You got all figured out
Life has its way
To drop you from the clouds
Different strands of life
Primal codes
Cryptic by design
We just flow
Like two floating logs
The river is wild
And there’s no way to pause
And if you think
You know what there’s in store
Hold on tight
You are out for some fun
And if you think
You know what fate’s in store
Brace yourself for change
‘Cause who you are
Was never set in stone
And things go down
With a magic of their own
And when you think
You got all figured out
Life has its way
To drop you from the clouds
So we hang

‘Cause who you are
Was never set in stone
And things go down
With a magic of their own
And when you think
You got all figured out
Life has its way
To drop you from the clouds
Could have had
All that you dreamed for
I gave you
The keys to my front door
Would have gone
Under a train for you
Giving you
All that you asked for
Not enough
You always want more
Like a scholar
Under your harsh review
And now you’re trying
To show that you’ve changed
There’s no way
I’m buying into that
Just because
You’re trying to be a good chat
Can’t believe in you now
I remember well how
You just told me I had to wait
When I wanted your love
You just acted like you’re above
Sorry honey it’s too late
Like a child
You want to play
When your toy
Is taken away
You don’t know
The meaning of pride and shame
Screams and kicks
Don’t impress me
And I thank God
That I just got free
From the job
Of having to play this game
Can’t believe in you now
I remember well how
You just told me I had to wait
When I wanted your love
You just acted like you’re above
Sorry honey it’s too late
It’s too late, it’s too late
Can’t believe in you now
I remember well how
You just told me I had to wait
Sorry honey sorry honey
It’s too late
Sorry honey it’s too late
All that you dreamed for
I gave you
The keys to my front door
Would have gone
Under a train for you
Giving you
All that you asked for
Not enough
You always want more
Like a scholar
Under your harsh review
And now you’re trying
To show that you’ve changed
There’s no way

Sorry honey it’s too late
It’s too late, it’s too late
Can’t believe in you now
I remember well how
You just told me I had to wait
Sorry honey sorry honey
It’s too late
Sorry honey it’s too late
Time to go now
Please rest easy
Make no effort
To get up
I’m leaving you and
This old house
Filled with bitterness and lies
And what’s the prize for
All this time stuck
In your web
Just like a fly
Let me, let me
Go down my road
‘Cause I’ve walked too many miles for you
Let me, let me
Go down my road
‘Cause I’ve cried too many times
Over you
You drove me crazy
Like a jailor
Playing bad tricks
With my mind
You’re so good at
Make me feel guilt
When I tried to say goodbye
Not this time
Not this time
Let me, let me
Go down my road
‘Cause I’ve walked too many miles for you
Let me, let me
Go down my road
‘Cause I’ve cried too many times
Over you
Let me, let me
Down my road
‘Cause I’ve walked too many miles for you
Oh let me
Let me, let me
Go down my road
‘Cause I’ve walked too many miles for you
Please rest easy
Make no effort
To get up
I’m leaving you and
This old house
Filled with bitterness and lies
And what’s the prize for
All this time stuck
In your web
Just like a fly
Let me, let me
Go down my road
‘Cause I’ve walked too many miles for you
Let me, let me
Go down my road
‘Cause I’ve cried too many times
Over you
You drove me crazy
Like a jailor
Playing bad tricks
With my mind
You’re so good at
Make me feel guilt
When I tried to say goodbye
Not this time
Not this time
Let me, let me
Go down my road
‘Cause I’ve walked too many miles for you
Let me, let me
Go down my road
‘Cause I’ve cried too many times
Over you
Let me, let me
Down my road
‘Cause I’ve walked too many miles for you
Oh let me
Let me, let me
Go down my road
‘Cause I’ve walked too many miles for you
If you just look through
The scintillating door
You gonna see me there
Just sitting on my own
I hear the people laugh
But I just check my clock
I've never been the best
With mingle and small talk
And then I hear a crash
Behind my back
One glass of mulled wine
Rains down my jacket
And then I see you blushing
And suddenly it’s clear
When I look at you
That Xmas is here
You tell me
Don't you think
This place is looking crowded
And then you whisper in my ear
Look I'm not even sure
My mind's a little clouded
But it looks like
Xmas is here
You ask me about my sweater
With Santa in space
I tell you it's a gift
From the owner of this place
And then you're looking up
And tell me with a glow
It looks like we're standing
Under a mistletoe
And then we feel a bump
Behind our backs
Somebody pushing you
While the table cracks
And then I'm thanking Santa
This must be a sign
‘Cause my funny space sweater
Is now full of wine
You tell me
Don't you think
This party is very loud
That's why you whisper in my ear
Let's find another place
And leave behind this crowd
And then I know that
Xmas is here
I saw you through the door
Just sitting on your own
I decide to break the ice
By setting up the tone
Looking for a way
To finally catch your eye
Couldn’t think of nothing better
Than a glass of spilled wine
I tell you
Don't you think
This party is very loud
That's why you whispered in my ear
Let's find another place
And leave behind this crowd
‘Cause Xmas
Is finally here
The scintillating door
You gonna see me there
Just sitting on my own
I hear the people laugh
But I just check my clock
I've never been the best
With mingle and small talk
And then I hear a crash
Behind my back
One glass of mulled wine
Rains down my jacket
And then I see you blushing
And suddenly it’s clear
When I look at you
That Xmas is here
You tell me
Don't you think
This place is looking crowded
And then you whisper in my ear
Look I'm not even sure
