Another year older, it came and went Blood, and the tears, and the money spent The New Year's here with the same old cast We dance and we drink like it may be our last Buzzin' waitin' for the countdown to come Feels like slow motion from ten to one A kiss and the fireworks light the sky Fallin' apart over Auld Lang Syne Let's focus on this night alone Just hope that we'd make it home alive The Earth, it turns, spring rushes in Days get longer and nights go thin Mother wakes up a little brighter than before Cold melts away and the gardens grow The air is crisp and fields are sweet Grass and the daffodils ticklin' our feet Flowers, they bloom, and the birds, they sing Fill up the day with the songs they bring And I don't feel much like singin' at all Seasons change, but I don't change at all Well, I've done wrong Well, I've done right That's clear Maybe I'll get better Maybe I'll be different This year Oh, here comes summer, well, it's comin' in hot No shirt, no school, give it all you got The Sun, it calls, so let's go outside Toastin' our drinks in the warm sunshine And the asphalt smolders in the city streets You better run fast or you're gonna burn your feet Splashin' and yellin' at the cannonball Enough love and laughter for one and all Oh, the future's, future's lookin' bright I think that I might get it right after all Moody autumn blows in off a summer wind Leaves fall off of the trees, never see them again Like embers, they float into the streets Golden and red, and the dance repeat Well, it's close of the curtains, let's stay inside No flower, no fruit and the lawns all die Well, how could it all fall apart so fast? And why would I think it would ever last? When everything is dyin' Well, how can I feel alive? Oh, life is short Well, all good days Disappear Maybe I've been lost Maybe I'll get found This year Well, the winter and the cold come stormin' in Kicks down the door and your blood runs thin Day's too short and the night's too long Carolers came, I can't sing along Oh, money's all gone, don't know where it went Christmas ain't easy when you can't pay the rent And the lights go out to a silent night And all you can do is just stay in the fight And I just can't feel the wrong And I just can't see the right Oh, life is hard I've been fightin' the fear Maybe I've been lost Don't think I'll get found This year Well, I've done wrong Well, I've done right That's clear But maybe I'll get better Maybe I'll be different Next year
