Story Behind The Song
We lost a dear friend the day I wrote this song and it was also while we were writing the Christmas album. This mood really put me back into the spirit of the holidays and what they mean; that is the idea of spending time with those we love and still have, honoring those we have lost and remember how sweet life is.

Lyrics
As this season fades away, I hope joy came your way
And you felt the love you hold in your heart
No matter what we say, we need the holidays
To cherish each and every day
Happy New Year
This sweet life is dear
So I ask you to keep love near
Remember this my dear, if we're blessed with other years
We'll face troubles that will make us strong
If darkness comes today, let your memory light the way
For your past has brought you oh so far
Happy New Year
This sweet life is dear
So I ask you to keep love near
Happy New Year
If you shed a tear
Raise your glass to those no longer here.
Say I love you when you're scared, feels so good when you share
what you have, what you want, what you need
You have much more than you know, you have much more than you show
I can see inside - your heart is free.
Happy New Year
This sweet life is dear
So I ask you to keep love near
Happy New Year
If you shed a tear
Raise your glass to spreading love and cheer
Happy New Year
This sweet life is dear
So I ask you to keep love near
Happy New Year
If you shed a tear
Raise your glass to all of you with us here
So I ask you to keep love near
Raise a glass to a new wonderful new year
