Lyrics
January
Jamie Anderson
January, outside it's gray
I found something I forgot I put away
A note from you, so long ago
You said I'm sorry but I don't know
Outside it starts to snow
I'm holding tight 'till I can let go
The hurt is there under my skin
Keeps anyone from coming in
I close my eyes to winter dark
I wrap a cloak around my heart
Outside it still snows
I'm holding tight 'till I can let go
I light a candle for you and me
And think about how it used to be
I miss your smile and those summer nights
I bring the note close to the light
The flame flickers and grows
The ashes fall
I'm letting go
I'm letting go
