	Story Behind the Song Written on Jan 1, 1998. The tracking session (ie. the drums and the 12-string guitar) was recorded in a concert hall using the natural room tone to get the huge sounding drums. Lyrics It wasn't so long ago She fell in love with a man she didn't know He made her think that he was the greatest It turned out later, he was a sadist And he hurt her like-she's never been hurt He didn't care-treated her like dirt For months at a time, he'd leave her alone She didn't believe she could be on her own CHORUS: And how many nights had she spent all alone Waiting by the telephone And how many tears had she wasted on him How many hours, feeling so grim Though she didn't know it- it'd all go away This is the first day of the best, year of her life After he left-she struggled with pain Her days were filled with nothing but rain She wrote songs when she was sad She realized later, she wasn't half bad She knew right then-what a fool she'd been She wondered how, he got under her skin After all, he was scary and weird He looked kinda silly in that 2-foot beard Chorus BRIDGE: Happy days were creepin' in Sometimes you'd even see her grin Oh how happy she could be Without him Instrumental Just today he heard her play A record producer would make her day He knew right away-that she would make it She was the real thing, didnt have to fake it ALT CHORUS: And how many nights had she spent all alone Waiting by the telephone And how many tears had she wasted on him Her light inside-growing so dim Though she didnt know it, it'd all go away This is the first day of the best, year of her life, year of her life.
