Year At A Time

I don't wanna bite of more than I can chew,

I'm lettin' go of a little bit of you, at a time.

I think I go the faith of a mustard seed,

To move this mountain of memories, so high.

I took another picture down,

It's a little less of you just hanging around.

I'm turnin' loose one memory at a time,

An' I'll say:

Goodbye to '91.

That summer was so much fun.

Our love was sweet and young back then.

An' there goes September '92,

The first time we said: "I love you."

By now you should be easy to forget.

But time's not flyin' by,

I hope I don't lose my mind.

Lettin' go of you,

A year at a time.

Every Monday, I start out, another week.

Seven days tryin' not to speak your name.

I got a self-help book from my best friend.

I'll try anything if I think it'll end this pain.

Every day that's creepin' by,

Is a little more hurt I leave behind.

I'm gettin' further down the road each day,

So I'll say:

C'est la vie to '93,

What kind of spell did you put on me?

I'll never love like that again.

Don't: close the door on '94,

I can't go back there no more.

Only in my dreams every now an' then.

But time's not flyin' by,

I hope I don't lose my mind.

Lettin' go of you,

A year at a time.

Spent '95 through '99,

Just tryin' not to lose my mind.

Lettin' go of you,

A year, (2000.)

I cried a million tears,

(O1 an' '02.)

Lettin' go of you,

A year at a time.
