Lyrics

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
