The First Year

It's finally here that time of year When your favorite flowers start to bloom And the showers of April cascade into the sauna we call June Yesterday was my birthday, the first one since you been gone All my friends say it gets easier All my friend have been known to be wrong You left in such a hurry, I had so much left to say I was just passing by, thought I'd stop and say hi And that I miss you, Happy Mother's Day The two of you said I do July 4 of '76 It was all sunshine and rainbows Till you threw a couple babies in the mix A shining example of what love could truly be Like a castle made of sand, I watched that mountain of a man Fall apart when they laid to rest his queen You left in such a hurry, I had so much left to say I was just passing by, thought I'd stop and say hi And that I miss you, Happy Independence Day Last New Year's Eve was like no other new year before You never think you'll get that call Until that call is knocking at your door You left in such a hurry, I had so much left to say I was just passing by, thought I'd stop and say hi And that I miss you. Happy New Year's Day
