Year After Year - Johnny Mathis

I try and find a key so I can sing or say

A little of my peace in a subtle way

This guitar I can barely play

Yet I still strum along

And I yearn to hear your thoughts

Maybe a little praise

At first that’s what I got

But it never seems to stay

And for a time I kept it caged just to let it go

I thought I’d come such a long way

I thought I’d broken some brand new ground

But still I live with the same fate

Again and again, year after year

And I’d be pleased with just your company

Stuck to the walls in here just hanging around

Until we feel there’s nothing more to see

We’ll get the hell out of here

I knew that all the while you tried to stay the same

Same hair, same scent, same smile

And when it came time, you loved the change

And you embraced it so For now we’ll drive this lathe and with an honest try

We’ll go against the grain

And I think we’ll find it’s best that you and I have changed

And we’ll just let it show

Oh god we’ll let 'em know
