[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge] And you are far away from me But in my heart you're close as close can be In my heart [Verse 4] Well time, time is a constant And we'll try to chase it and catch it And sometimes when we get together We'll go wild, we'll smash all the clocks And we'll even lose ourselves, find forever in an afternoon [Chorus] 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, ooh What's a year to me? The grown-up stuff I'm balancing And you've family mine so I'm yours for all time And I miss you, I miss you
