A Year Gone By

Has it really been a year gone by Watching the flame of The single candle on your cake you try I think back on the year gone by From hearing it’s a girl To holding you in my arms I don’t know who’s grown more You or I I remember when your eyes first opened Wondering what it was you saw The first time you smiled I was wrapped around your finger A year gone by of late night feedings When I laid you to your mother’s breast The times you needed changed The times you needed held The times you simply slept I remember them all through the blur Of the year gone by I remember when you first left your mother’s breast When you first tried to touch you knew not what The first time you giggled Your shock when you first rolled over How quickly you learned to crawl and explore So many things you did I remember But my fondest memory of the year gone by Is how I’ve learned to give love And set aside myself For someone much more special than I Has it really been a year gone by NOTE*** This is from my CD A Father’s Love Letters To listen to the CD please visit http://www.reverbnation.com/#/mikehamill As the lead single it comes with a music video viewable at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlWpKk_J2bA
