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