A Really Long Year
Rosie Thomas

Yeah it's been a really long year

Flew to Oklahoma

That's where he got down on one knee

When I called my mom she was in tears

The day we pulled out her wedding gown

She hadn't looked at it in 40 years

And I, I watched her reminisce for awhile

Just 19 and walking down the aisle


Yeah it's been a really long year

Made new friends in Kansas

Watched my grandpa be an auctioneer

Brother made that farm look like a dream

The marching band played in the parade

And all the bridesmaids in the trolley waved

And I, I watched their faces for some time

And somewhere over the rainbow was my life


Somewhere over the rainbow

Over the rainbow

Skies will be blue

Somewhere over the rainbow

Over the rainbow

Dreams do come true


Yeah it's been a really long year

Laura had a baby boy while I was travelling in Germany

Mother lost her friend in summertime

Before she went to be with the Lord

She told my brother she'd find him a wife

And I, when I heard that story how I cried

Cuz I could hear the longing in his voice

I could see the hope in his eyes

Yeah, I could see him dancing with his bride


Yeah it's been a really long year

Never thought that I would see the day

I'd dance with grandpa on my wedding day
