Lyrics The First Year - American Aquarium

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
