This'll Be My Year

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 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 '92 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 '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 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 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 Woah-oah-oah-oah 2004 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 'til 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 (oh oh) Maybe this'll be my year (oh oh) Maybe this'll be my year (oh oh) 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 somethin', nothin', I don't care Because I always know that you'll be here With me
