Your Long Year - Daniel Amos

They say that youth is wasted

On the young

Still, it’s good that you’re not jaded

And I’m glad you’re having fun

Your long year ran right by here

Just another short day to me

So how have you been in your beautiful skin?

Did you solve all life’s mysteries

In your long year?

And when time turns the table

You’ll be me

Wearing all the tags and labels

Of an ancient history

Your long year ran right by here

Just another short day to me

So how have you been, my immortal friend?

Did you solve all life’s mysteries

In your long year?

«And oh my, how time flies»

Say the eyes of the dusty old men

Oh my, the days rush by

You laugh it off

The years get lost

'Til oh my

You’re one of them

(Your long year)

Your long year ran right by here

Just another short day to me

So how have you been in your beautiful skin?

Did you solve all life’s mysteries

In your long year?

Did you love?

Were you kind?

Giving thanks for the time

In your long year?

Did you dare to have faith

In goodness and grace

In your long year?

Well, how have you been, my immortal friend?

Did you solve all life’s mysteries

'Cause your long year ran right by here

Just another short day to me

So how have you been in your beautiful skin?

Did you solve all life’s mysteries

In your long year?

In your long year

In your long year

In your long year

In your long year

In your long year

In your long year

In your long year
