I can hardly believe
It's been a year now
Since I was dependant on the world
That revolved around your love
Where to those christmases go so quickly
I can see those eyes so vividly
Watching starlight turn to dawn
And as a child I welcomed prejudice
As a lover I spoke of
Next year and next year
Standing by your side
But when one's heart is in the way
I can't see past a moment in time
And how I relied
Upon your strength to hide
My wounds from one who criticized
And by sunrise i'd been waiting
Just to catch a tear that had been dried
