Drop In A Bucket

Written by Mary Gauthier

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
