In '85
Tuesday morning
Came alive

I didn't know ya
Route 66 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 '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 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


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
