December's drawing near now The snow is falling clear Won't you be my dear now Cause I want you to hear All the things we can do All we need is me and you Keeping warm by the fire Stayin' lit by my desire for only you To stay with me We'll just have to wait and see
Under the mistletoe we can kiss And grant me my only wish To make this the best Christmas I've ever had I promise this will never make you sad We don't have to spend a dime To make this the perfect time To make this the best Christmas we've ever had Anything else without you would be bad And I won't sleep this Christmas without you
We're all so full of cheer now And everybody's here And don't you shed a tear now Cause there's nothing to fear
All the things we will do All I need is to be with you We'll keep warm by the fire It'll stay lit by our desire for only us To stay and be We'll just have to wait and see
Under the mistletoe we can kiss And grant me my only wish To make this the best Christmas I've ever had I promise this will never make you sad We don't have to spend a dime To make this a perfect time To make this the best Christmas we've ever had Anything else without you would be bad And I won't sleep this Christmas without you
All the joy and glee All the faces we will see There's nowhere I would rather be than here
Under the mistletoe we can kiss And grant me my only wish To make this the best Christmas I've ever had I promise this will never make you sad We don't have to spend a dime To make this a perfect time To make this the best Christmas we've ever had Anything else without you would be bad And I won't sleep this Christmas without you credits
lyrics: January, I miss you already February oh please come back home March and April, oh pretty soon you'll be back in my arms Come May and June, I'll see you soon July and August, is waiting for us September, remember I'm here
A year is not so long I'll be here till you're done The days they will pass in a second The months gone like that I reckon If a year feels too long, just listen to this song and I'll be right there to whisper in your ear That time flies when you're missin someone
Heres comes october, love drunk but sober Your ETA can't come enough soon In November, your birthday I remember And four days later we'll celebrate mine too
A year is not so long I'll be here till you're done The days they will pass in a second The months gone like that I reckon If a year feels too long, just listen to this song and I'll be right there to whisper in your ear That time flies when you're missin someone
I can;t get away But I know you cannot stay All I know is don't replace Or I'll regret it every time I don't see you face
And all I've done has wasted away, oh, it's true But I can't pack up and go with you
I can't take it all and throw it all away It's not the same as yesterday I can't explain it, Love, I can't think straight anymore And I know I'll miss you, Love, as soon as you walk right out that door
And all I've done has wasted away, oh, it's true But I can't pack up and go with you
And all I've done has wasted away, oh, it's true But I can't pack up and go with you
lyrics: We were flying high, yeah we were soaring. And now we're slowly falling down. Arguing, struggling to just get by. And our wings are broken. Downward spiral headed straight for the ground. Just tryin to get by
I want to save us, but I don't know if I can. The sands of time are slipping slowly from my hands.
Hourglass, time is leaving us in the past. Where did it go? Where is everything I once had? How did our time run so low?
I'm trying not to let go, we can't fall, we've come too far. I've never felt this way, and I want it to last. You mean the world, I want you to know. Thought we'd be more than just another scar. But now we're drifting into the past.
I want to save us, but I don't know if I can. The sand of time is slipping slowly from my hands.
Hourglass, time is leaving us in the past. Where did it go? Where is everything I once had? How did our time run so low? Hourglass, Nothing good seems to last. We rose above, then fell below. Where is everything I once had? How did our time run so low?
It feels like I'm losing my mind. As I watch the time, slip away. I'm losing what's mine. And along with the time, I'm close to my last day. I'm close to my last day.
Hourglass, time is leaving us in the past. Where did it go? Where is everything I once had? How did our time run so low? Hourglass, Nothing good seems to last. We rose above, then fell below. Where is everything I once had? How did our time run so low? so low so lowKeep It (Original) - Spencer NewtonSpencer Newton2011-04-04 | Ok so I've been writing this song over the past couple days and i think its pretty good. It will be much better when I re-record it but I felt a need to upload something of it. Hope you guys like it!
Lyrics: i see there's sometime strange about you i see your open up your eyes i see there's somethig wrong inside you a secret way down deep inside something you can't hide
because i, i can see it now it's spilling somehow out of you but now after all is said and done i could still be the one 'cause even though I know your secret i can keep it
i know that no ones there to guide you you know I'm one phone call away i know you want someone beside you i can be someone today i can be someone today
because i, i can see it now it's spilling somehow out of you but now after all is said and done i could still be the one 'cause even though I know your secret i can keep it
you know i love you down inside you know you've never left mind
because i, i can see it now it's spilling somehow out of you but now after all is said and done i could still be the one 'cause even though I know your secret
because i, i can see it now it's spilling somehow out of you but now after all is said and done i could still be the one 'cause even though I know your secret 'cause even though I know your secret 'cause even though I know your secret i can keep it
This is such a good song. I used to play this all the time and then i must have forgotten about it, but my friend Alex played it for me the other day, and it all came back to me, so I decided to cover it. Thanks Alex! :D

Lyrics:
Heated beyond belief that your eyes are full of deceit.
Don't say no more,
Dont wanna hear it cause I've gone right out that door.
Let's just say when it rains it pours...
I pushed, I pulled I gave it my all,
I'm sick of my back up against this wall.
I emptied my heart, I emptied your drawers.
Lets just say when it rains it pours...
(chorus)
I have had my doubts and I have my reasons,
But trying to please you is like one day with all four seasons.
This feeling's too familiar I call It heart-sore.
Let's just say when it rains it pours...
Sun has turned to rain, rain to sleet, sleet to snow,
Your stuck on your past, pretending it doesn't show.
You dont answer me; I can't go on with these wars.
When it rains it pours...
(chorus)
Call me heartless, call me parted but I'm just finishing what you started.
I'm done being second shelf; you're in denial with yourself.
A game I call this, what's the score?
When it rains it pours
Let's just say when it rains it pours
Let's just say when it rains it poursDaughters (Acoustic) Cover - John Mayer - Spencer NewtonSpencer Newton2010-04-20 | WHOOHOO! LIKE COMMENT AND FAVORITE! :D

Me playing Slide by the Goo Goo Dolls on my brand new Ibanez AEL20E-VV, probably the best acoustic guitar in the world. "If you have the means, I suggest you pick one up. It is so choice."
I won second place in this talent show and got 50 bucks. I was happy.
*Note* I am sorry about the static noise at some of the beats throughout the video. We used free software to convert the video. If we can find a better converter, I will reupload.Be My Escape (Acoustic) Cover - Relient kSpencer Newton2009-07-28 | God this song is great. Um, if you don't know, there is an acoustic version of this song, which is technically the version I am covering; not the electric version. Check it out; it's a heluva lot better. Hope you guys like it. Oh, and remember to give me feedback about the sound quality; bought a microphone about two months ago and will be using it for the rest of my videos.
I also decided to show my face this time, and depending on whether people like it or not, I may or may not show it next time.

*Note*: i do play the second part of the chorus the same way I play the first part; In other words, I play it differently than the band plays it. I think it sounds better on the acoustic with that certain part the way I play it. If you don't like it, then complain to someone else.

http://myspace.com/TheMorningLightSuperman (Acoustic) Cover - Five For FightingSpencer Newton2009-05-25 | This is my cover of Superman (It's Not Easy) by the band Five For Fighting as it had great lyrics, great music, and great vocals. This is not my best guitar work, I will admit, but it is a lot better than the second one i recorded which was all chords and came out horribly. I thank Bradford (Steve) because he brought this song in to English class, and I had forgotten all about it.
