Story Behind The Song
My mother died in 1997 and it took me 10 years to figure out what story I wanted to tell. I wanted it to be about her life, not her death.
Song Description
Daffodils were my mother?s favorite flower. She taught me everything useful I ever learned. This is for her.

Lyrics
ANOTHER YEAR BLOOMS
My garden in springtime
Returns you to me
In heavenly hues
That could make the living weep
The earthly fragrance of a rose
Fades from me with each season grows
Something new
Another year blooms
Your hopes and your dreams
Pass down to me
And keep you ever by my side
Like the tide speaks to the moon
A call on a celestial dime
From a mysterious room
Another year blooms
Bridge:
Every year the rhythm of the daffodils in spring
Reminds me of your hope
To have another chance to sing
Even still, now without you
In spite of winter?s gloom
Another year blooms
I have in a drawer
Souvenirs and memories
Silver strands sealed in time
Reaching across the fine line in between
Our laughter and our tears
A bittersweet perfume
Another year blooms
Another year blooms
