A Year

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
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
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
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
