This Time Last Year

A smoky bar called Random Row is where it all started.
A brief handshake, background history, and then we parted.
A party, playing Pictionary, teamed up by sweet circumstance--there you were again.
A chance meeting at dinner, then attending a lecture. What was happening?

CHORUS:

Pie in the sky, heavenly delight, circle of sweetness, breezy days, starry nights.
Then that river of tears.
All this was mine this time last year.

Sleepless nights, waiting for the sun to rise
As my anticipation was climbing upwards to the sky.
Oh, the sacrifices made as, "Really it's no big deal!"
The first taste of love finally taught me how to feel.

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:

Forsaking work for pleasure, oh what a cost.
But that labor would never have stayed with me like these memories, so nothing's lost.
I still recall front row concert tickets to that electrifying show...
To this day I think of you, and I wonder if you even know about my
Pie in the sky, my heavenly delight, my circle of sweetness, breezy days, starry, starry nights.
Then that river of tears...
All this was mine this time last year.
