Yeah it's been a really long year
Flew to Oklahoma
That's where he got down on one knee

When I told my mom she was in tears
The day we pulled out her wedding gown
She hadn't looked at it in 40 years

And I, I watched her reminisce for awhile
Just 19 and walking down the aisle


Yeah it's been a really long year
Made new friends in Kansas
Watched my grandpa be an auctioneer

Brother made that farm look like a dream
The marching band played in the parade
And all the bridesmaids in the trolley waved

And I, I watched their faces for some time
And somewhere over that rainbow was my life


Somewhere over the rainbow
Over the rainbow
Skies will be blue

Somewhere over the rainbow
Over the rainbow
Dreams do come true


Yeah it's been a really long year
Laura had a baby boy while I was travelling in Germany

Mother lost her friend in summertime
Before she went to be with the Lord
She told my brother she'd find him a wife

And I, when I heard that story how I cried
Cuz I could hear the longing in his voice
I could see the hope in his eyes

Yeah, I could see him dancing with his bride

Yeah it's been a really long year

Never thought that I would see the day
I'd dance with grandpa on my wedding day
