Lyrics:

One day, one week, one month gone
Doesn’t seem like that much to bear
But one year, unexpected
Forever and a day
One year takes your breathe away

One laugh, one tear, one smiling face
A distance memory, that last embrace
One year filled with mornings and evenings spent alone
One year kept us safe at home

Taking its toll those precious souls we treasure
Around our tables there are empty chairs
But here in the dark we found the spark of kindness
Learning what it truly means to care

One step closer to the other side
Hearts still heavy, but opened wide
One year made us stronger
Simple truths so clear
A gift and a reminder
Of all that we hold dear
Gathered in just one year
