Merry by Blake Lawton Kershaw
A song about a relationship that is fulfilling, magical and melodious. Sounds almost like mine. The production on this song is very spare, but the strong bass and sketched in melodic rhythm guitar seem to give it all the heart it needs. Yes, this song is sappy and I am a hopeless romantic.

Lyrics
On the side of the hill I met my thrill
Singing tu-ra-la-tu-ra-la-a
It was on a workday that she came my way
Singing tu-ra-la-tu-ra-la-a
How I love her my poor words can't say
Merry, essential to me
The pleasure that stirs up our nights
Keep me Merry and then we will see
There's more here than throwing out rice
We were trying to be and she was singing to me
Singing tu-ra-la-tu-ra-la-a
And it wasn't too long I was singing her song
Singing tu-ra-la-tu-ra-la-a
How I love her my poor words can't say
Merry, precious to me
The spirit that comes from above
Keep me Merry and then we will see
If only we could live on love
Don't call her mine, not that defined
And control is not mine to take
She is so rare I'm happy I'm there
And merry I'm ready to make
With the take and the give we decided to live
Singing tu-ra-la-tu-ra-la-a
So we climbed up the stairs to our house in the air
Singing tu-ra-la-tu-ra-la-a
Merry, precious to me
spirit that comes from above
Keep me Merry we will be free
Only we could live on love
