A Year by Erica Freas Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh you, you've got a smile and it's worldwide
I wrote you a postcard in July
But you never got it, 'cause sometimes
The weight of my love's on the inside
And I never made it to the post office
[Verse 2]
And I, I've got your laugh stuck in my mind
It's better than a song, and I cried
At your great grandma's service, and I tried
To chase you and catch you and we were feeling fine
Being funny in our fancy clothes
[Chorus]
What's a year to me with all the million things I've seen?
But a year to you's so long, and I miss you
What's a year to me when I'm everywhere in between?
But you grew so much and you learned so much stuff
And I miss you, I miss you
[Verse 3]
There are clouds in the sky above our faces
It doesn't matter we're on Earth in different places
'Cause the same wind, the same rain, crossing oceans, different names
The same moon in the sky, the same stars at different times
[Bridge]
And you are far away from me
But in my heart you're close as close can be
In my heart
[Verse 4]
Well time, time is a constant
And we'll try to chase it and catch it
And sometimes when we get together
We'll go wild, we'll smash all the clocks
And we'll even lose ourselves, find forever in an afternoon
[Chorus]
What's a year to me with all the million things I've seen?
But a year to you's so long, and I miss you
What's a year to me when I'm everywhere in between?
But you grew so much and you learned so much stuff
And I miss you, ooh
What's a year to me? The grown-up stuff I'm balancing
And you've family mine so I'm yours for all time
And I miss you, I miss you
Oh you, you've got a smile and it's worldwide
I wrote you a postcard in July
But you never got it, 'cause sometimes
The weight of my love's on the inside
And I never made it to the post office
[Verse 2]
And I, I've got your laugh stuck in my mind
It's better than a song, and I cried
At your great grandma's service, and I tried
To chase you and catch you and we were feeling fine
Being funny in our fancy clothes
[Chorus]
What's a year to me with all the million things I've seen?
But a year to you's so long, and I miss you
What's a year to me when I'm everywhere in between?
But you grew so much and you learned so much stuff
And I miss you, I miss you
[Verse 3]
There are clouds in the sky above our faces
It doesn't matter we're on Earth in different places
'Cause the same wind, the same rain, crossing oceans, different names
The same moon in the sky, the same stars at different times
[Bridge]
And you are far away from me
But in my heart you're close as close can be
In my heart
[Verse 4]
Well time, time is a constant
And we'll try to chase it and catch it
And sometimes when we get together
We'll go wild, we'll smash all the clocks
And we'll even lose ourselves, find forever in an afternoon
[Chorus]
What's a year to me with all the million things I've seen?
But a year to you's so long, and I miss you
What's a year to me when I'm everywhere in between?
But you grew so much and you learned so much stuff
And I miss you, ooh
What's a year to me? The grown-up stuff I'm balancing
And you've family mine so I'm yours for all time
And I miss you, I miss you
