Gloria you taught me how to be myself and not worry about what others think
You were there when I learned how to ride a bike
You taught me how to mow the lawn and made me feel alright
Now you're at the other moon and I cant stop thinking all about you
And how you're in my dreams and how you're watching over me
While I start this new path in my life
Gloria I wish that I could grow up to be the type of man that you were
Don't worry while you're away from home because of you
I wouldn't be from the place that I had grown
It's been a year without you Gloria why'd you have to leave so soon
It's been a year without you Gloria why'd you leave
