Happy Anniversary, baby
|
It's been a year now since you moved away
|
Even though I asked you to go
|
I miss you every day
|
I miss you in the evenings
|
Alone in the bed where I lie
|
I miss you in the morning
|
Before I open my eyes
|
|
I went and sold everything that I could, babe
|
Then I gave away what didn't sell
|
I moved south to Nashville
|
I might like it there, but I can't tell
|
I been hanging in Austin
|
Eating Chili's and good Bar-B-Q
|
Writing songs about losing and heartache
|
Hey babe, I been writing 'bout you
|
|
A year, that ain't nothing
|
When you lose someone you love
|
A year is a drop in a bucket
|
When you lose someone you love
|
|
I been traveling hard since September
|
I won't get back to Nashville till June
|
I've played my songs all over the world
|
But I can't find a home without you
|
I press on like a mad rushing river
|
I press on with the will to survive
|
Part of me lives for the wind in my face
|
While the other part's barely alive
|
|
A year, that ain't nothing
|
When you lose someone you love
|
A year is a drop in a bucket
|
When you lose someone you love
|
|
So Happy Anniversary, baby
|
May fortune and fate be your friends
|
Wherever you go, I want you to know
|
I don't think my love ever ends
|
I carry it down the highway
|
It's a part of my body and soul
|
And one day it'll be the part of me
|
That will pull me up out of this hole
|
|
A year, that ain't nothing
|
When you lose someone you love
|
A year is a drop in a bucket
|
