LYRICS:
Hot cup of coffee on the bedside stand
He didn’t mean to make her cry
It’s another day and won’t she understand?
Of course there’s a reason why 

Her face was too made up
Her smile it was too bright
She walked too far away from him
He likes her to be right there by his side
Her skirt it was too short
Her shirt it was too tight
Why’d she have to talk that way?
Everything she said she was just asking for a fight

He’s gonna make it up to her, he’s gonna take her out tonight
She’ll wear that dress she knows he likes
They’ll catch a movie or they’ll dance the night away
 It’s gonna be alright 

He lands his first punch in the driveway
They haven’t even made it to the car
She slides in beside him
His driving gloves they never leave a mark

He’s taking her back home now, far from all those prying eyes
He’ll teach her what it means to be a good wife
No nosy neighbors no one to hear her cry.
This is her day this is her life

Her face was too made up
Her smile it was too bright
He saw her talking to that guy
She‘s not gonna make a fool of him tonight
Her skirt it was too short
Her shirt it was too tight
Her heels they were too high
She steels herself it’s going to be a long, long night

Hot cup of coffee on the bedside stand
She knows better than to cry

I meant to write a love song, but this song showed up instead.  DISCLAIMER: I have never experienced this myself and my husband is the most gentle, loving guy you'll ever meet. He brings me coffee every morning for no reason other than he wants to start off my day on a sweet note!

Hot Cup of Coffee

Singer Songwriter Americana Christmas Ballad

Lyrics:
Are you hanging your stockings by the chimney with care?
Or dancing and prancing in jingle bell square?
Will you be home for Christmas or traveling afar?
Are you nestled in your bed are you following a star?

Everybody’s got their own tradition
So many different definitions of merry and bright
But when we get it just right 
There is magic in the air this time of year
I’m wishing you that magic and good cheer

Are you standing on the corner where silver bells ring?
Are you listening for heaven and nature to sing?
Will you go out walking in a winter wonderland?
Or with faith serenely beaming by His cradle will you stand?

For a moment all our differences melt away
Let’s  meet in no man’s land, just humans for a day

Everybody’s got their own traditions
So many different definitions of merry and bright
But when we keep love in sight
There is magic in the air this time of year
I’m wishing you that magic and good cheer

For you and everyone that you hold dear
Merry Christmas 
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas and a happy and peaceful…new year

Lyrics:
Jingle bells are jingling and carolers are singing
You don’t hear them as you hurry on your way
Lights they’re a twinkling, and I’ve got an inkling
You’re gonna toss a coin into my cup today

I know you’ve got worries, they keep you in this hurry
So much to do to make your season bright
I’m guessing you’d feel better in the warmth of that new sweater
If you’d take a moment to see the lights

But you don’t see, and you don’t hear
Let me whisper in your ear
Bend down close now this may come as some surprise
But I love this time of year, look from here
See Christmas through my eyes

There’s a service down the street where you and I might meet
Without the wall of difference in between
For a moment we’re the same with our sorrows and our shame
We’re all equal when we’re down here on our knees

You don’t see, and you don’t hear
Let me whisper in your ear
Bend down close now this may come as some surprise
But I love this time of year, look from here
See Christmas through my eyes

No roof above my head, no blanket for my bed
Still I find hope this time each year
This babe born in the hay makes us better for a day 
That’s how Christmas looks from here

Don’t you see now, won’t you hear?
Let me whisper in your ear
Bend down close now this may come as some surprise
But I love this time of year, look from here
See Christmas through my eyes

I love this time of year, look from here
See Christmas through my eyes

"This new Christmas song from Meghan Cary is uplifting and catchy."

Without the pressure of the hustle and bustle that is such a big part of the commercial side of the holidays, Christmas can be seen for what it is: the celebration of a homeless baby born in a barn who goes on to do great things despite it all. This is a story of hope and the joy that comes when we are all made "better for a day".

Critically-acclaimed artist Meghan Cary earned Billboard Magazine’s Critic’s Choice Award, and the title track of her latest album SING LOUDER debuted on the US/International Folk DJ Chart at #2, with the entire album coming in at #6.

Cary’s raw honesty and ability to connect with her audience through high-energy tunes, masterful storytelling, and deeply personal lyrics has made her one of the industry’s most sought after female singer-songwriters. Her message of unity and the power of raising our voices together infuses every show, and Cary’s “Sing Louder” has become an anthem for the music-loving community.

Cary didn’t mean to be a musician. But when her fiancé unexpectedly died, she picked up his guitar, figured out how to play it, and wrote her debut, earning her the Billboard nod. “I wrote my grief into music and sang my way out of the abyss. I keep making music to help others connect with their own stories and find joy in their lives.”
