Seize The Day & Close @ Abbey Pub with CSN Band, Chicago (Part 1)

First time a band ever played my songs with me! It was sooo fun!!! I had to split this into 2 videos, because of YouTube's 10 minute max -- this video is Seize The Day and Close, the second video is Bona Fide Teenager.

LYRICS FOR SEIZE THE DAY:
Leave the house at the crack of dawn
Grade school was a bit more fun
Now classes last so very long
And theres so much to get done
Gotta find small ways to

Seize the day
Find things to appreciate
Seize the day
Those little things to celebrate

Inside jokes with my closest friends
Weekend plans to be with them
Laughter to get me through the week
Things that set me free
Feels so good to...

Chorus x 2

Celebrate the little things
That make me keep going
And Ive come to realize
That these are the big things!!!

So,
Chorus

LYRICS FOR CLOSE
which I wrote for my cousin Lauren's wedding:
...for my thread/rope metaphor, I have to give credit to Tecumseh, who I read about in history class. He used an analogy that a single strand of hair was easy to break, but a braid was strong, in order to unite different tribes.

Verse 1:




Down at The Shore, Dean proposed to Lauren.
Shes first to marry of my cousins.
He does business, she studies law in Brooklyn,
Juggling life, getting ready for their wedding.

Pre Chorus 1:
Happy tomorrows
As they make their new home
They are bound

Chorus 1:
So close.
What starts as a thread
Spins into a rope,
A rope that holds (stays) strong,
A bond to last on.
So close.

Verse 2:
Years ago, they were close but didnt know it.
Same hometown, same streets they both grew up on
Same high school, unaware of each others existence.
Their lives wove together and now theyre marrying.

Pre Chorus 2:
Happy tomorrows
As they make their new home
Theyll keep bound

Chorus 2:
So close
In every way,
A rope that wont fray,
A rope that stays strong.
Their bond will last on,
So close.

Bridge:
On this fine spring evening,
Together by the sea,
Gathered with their families,
Laced together as
Lauren and Dean marry!

They are

Chorus 1 (but with stays not holds)
