Drop In A Bucket 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
