Lyrics

0:40So now is the time
0:48To take my stand
0:52Just for once
0:55I tried to catch this time
1:03In my hands
1:07But it slips through
1:11It slips through like sand
1:14Nothing is still
1:18Yet nothing remains
1:22Of last year's last year's man
1:41Oh where did they go
1:45Your family was small
1:48You watch them grow
1:52But time went so fast
1:56When you want them to stay
2:00To stay the same
2:03Yet nothing remains
2:07And no one who stays the same
2:10And no one's to blame
2:12But I know and I know and I know
2:15And I know it's a game
2:18This game we play
2:22I'm trying to get through the day and feel no shame
2:41I feel no shame
3:27Oh and I know and I know and I know
3:30And I know it's a game
3:34This game we play
3:38I'm trying to get through these days
3:42Oh and I know and I know and I know and I know
3:47And I know and I know and I know it's a cruel game
3:53This game we play
3:58Last year's man
4:01You did the best you can
4:12Last year's man
So now is the time
To take my stand
Just for once
I tried to catch this time
In my hands
But it slips through
It slips through like sand
Nothing is still
Yet nothing remains
Of last year's last year's man
Oh where did they go
Your family was small
You watch them grow
But time went so fast
When you want them to stay
To stay the same
Yet nothing remains
And no one who stays the same
And no one's to blame
But I know and I know and I know
And I know it's a game
This game we play
I'm trying to get through the day and feel no shame
I feel no shame
Oh and I know and I know and I know
And I know it's a game
This game we play
I'm trying to get through these days
Oh and I know and I know and I know and I know
And I know and I know and I know it's a cruel game
This game we play
Last year's man
You did the best you can
Last year's man
