This'll Be My Year

                                  In eighty five,

Tuesday morning,

Came alive,

I didn't know you

Route sixty six is gone,

And Reagan's here,

It won't be long



Nintendo comes,

Live Aid, too,

Back to the Future

Where were you,

While I spent all my days

In Catholic school?



In eighty nine,

The dream begins,

First in line to California,

Pete Rose is banned for good,

The Simpsons come to Hollywood,

Russia leaves Afghanistan,

Flight one o three ends Pan Am,

Bush is here

This is the year

That I feel most alone



No more

Countin' down the hours

No more

Wishin' you were here

I stopped believin',

Although Journey told me 'don't'

Before I call it a day,

Maybe this'll be my year

Maybe this'll be my year

Maybe this'll be my year

Maybe this'll be my year



In ninety two,

A boy is born,

The skies were blue

In Ohio

Boris Yeltsin chills,

Freddie dies,

But Queen is still,

Barcelona has the games,

Lady Di is single again,

Clinton wins,

And I still dream

That I'll find you someday



In ninety seven,

A baby girl,

Adds some heaven to the world,

Tony Blair tips the scales,

Elton sings for the Princess of Wales,

Microsoft buys into Mac,

My dad has a second heart attack,

And Train leaves San Francisco

In a thousand-dollar van



No more

Countin' down the hours

No more

Wishin' you were here

I stopped believin',

Although Journey told me 'don't'

Before I call it a day,

Maybe this'll be my year

Maybe this'll be my year

Maybe this'll be my year

Maybe this'll be my year



Two thousand and one,

The towers fell,

The World is stunned,

I wish I knew ya

I was on a plane,

The world would never be the same

The artificial heart is born

Ironic when New York's is torn out

Woah-oah-oah-oah



Two thousand and four,

Began in May,

On tour when I met ya

Facebook joins the Internet,

Oldsmobile joins the cassette

I met your family

It took a while until you kissed me,

But when you did,

I finally felt at home



I stopped believin',

Although Journey told me 'don't'

Before I call it a day,

Maybe this'll be my year

Maybe this'll be my year

Maybe this'll be my year

Maybe this'll be my year



Two thousand and twelve,

And all I know

Is everybody comes and goes

Everybody sings and cries,

Makes the grade and takes the prize

In somethin', nothin', I don't care,

Because I always know that you'll be here

With me
