Here's to the years gone by
To rivers running dry
Where have you been all your life?
Time takes too much time
A bitter kiss good-night
Where have you been all your life?
How can you say you've come a long, long way?
You only wait for yesterday
Here's to the years gone by
To rivers running dry
Where have you been all your life?
Time takes too much time
A bitter kiss good-night
Where have you been all your life?
How can you say you've come a long, long way?
You only wait for yesterday
Let the truth be told
Heaven knows you got hell to pay
Let the truth be told
You wait for yesterday
Here's to the years gone by
To rivers running dry
Where have you been all your life?
Time takes too much time
A bitter kiss good-night
Where have you been all your life?
Where have you been all your life?
