In '85 Tuesday morning came alive, I didn't know ya
Route '66 is gone, 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 '89 the dream begins, first in line to California
Pete Rose is banned for good,
The Simpsons come to Hollywood,
Russia leaves Afghanistan, Flight 103 ends Pan Am
Bush is here, this is the year that I feel most alone
No more counting down the hours
No more wishing you were here
I stopped believing although Journey told me don't
Before I call it a day
Maybe this'll be my year
In '92 a boy is born, 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 '97 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 his second heart attack and Train leaves San Francisco in a thousand dollar van
No more counting down the hours
No more wishing you were here
I stopped believing although Journey told me don't
Before I call it a day
Maybe this'll be my year
2001 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
2004 began in May on a tour when I met you
Facebook joins the internet, Oldsmobile joins the cassette
I met your family, took a while till you kissed me
But when you did I finally felt at home
I stopped believing 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
2012 and all I know is everybody comes and goes
Everybody sings and cries, makes the grade and takes the prize in something, nothing, I don't care because I always know that you'll be here with me
