The Year that Lasted Twenty Lyrics

The feeling of waking up

For the first time in our bed

Broken memories in my head

Fading to dust is the horror that I fled

Without you I'd be dead

The holiday cheer

Already near

The love of family I never had

Finally all my dreams had come true

I had no clue

It was about to be so bad

But I'm glad

I could pay you pay, I was there to help save your life

It's been two months

Since I crossed the sea

And I'm not ready to lose

All that's dear to me

These last two weeks

Felt like a year

I cannot do any of this

Without you here

But you came back to your new family

And can't you see

How he and you and me makes three

Days rolled on into the spring

Surprising recovery as life returns to full swing

Warm walks in the park

Wine and talk til dark

And much to our surprise, how miracles arrive

These last six months

Have felt like six years

Thru the tears of pain and joy

Kisses in the rain, but

Something is wrong again

It's hard to stay sane

But you know I'll keep the bed warm for you to come home

It's been nine months

Since I crossed the sea

And I'm not ready to lose

All that's dear to me

It hasn't even been a year

You know that nothing feels right

Without you here

But you came back to your growing family

And now you can be sure

How he and you and me and she makes four

The way, you move, inside

You'll never know how many times I cried

But when I wake up in the night

I can feel two hearts beating alongside mine

And I feel alright

And though I might not be

The best me I can be

I hope to see myself the way you see me

And continue this journey or self discovery

Until I hear those words: we love you daddy

It's been a year

But it's felt more like twenty

I've fought like hell

To build this family

But after all we've been thru

It was worth it

Because in the end I got you

Plus two
