Lyrics
VS
What?s that knocking upon your door?
Could it be that it?s life again; here to even up the score.
Well it?s today ? Your years will pass.
One says ?Hello!? and the other ?Goodbye?
And it happens just that fast.
CH
Another year is gone and where?s your celebration?
And where?s the wine with your tears of revelation?
VS
Well, here you are. What?s there to say?
You?ve hoped and prayed it would disappear
But it?s happening anyway.
Well, it?s today. Your years have passed.
One said ?Hello!? and the other ?Goodbye?
And it happened just that fast.
CH
Another year is gone and where?s your celebration?
And where?s the wine with your tears of revelation?
BRDG
Oh you never want to grow old and lose your youth.
You keep lying and crying to yourself. (Mmm ? to yourself)
