It's Been a Year
Stephen Day
I hope I fit in this old sweater
'Cause I can't afford one that fits better
I must be bloated from my dinner
'Cause just last year my reflection was thinner
Ain't it funny how we grow
And then it really starts to show
When it's been a year
Christmas is here
And family is near to say
My, how much you've changed
I got two sisters, they both got Mr's
Maybe this year I'll bring back a Mrs
But I just can't yet understand it
Every year I come home empty-handed
Ain't it funny how they know
I have nothing there to show
When it's been a year (it's been a year)
Christmas is here (Christmas is here)
Family is near to say
My, how things don't change
Oh, and what a year it's been
And now it's finally here again
The time of year that you fear
But you know that you don't want it to end
It's been a year
Christmas is here
Family is near to say
Why don't things just stay the same?
