*I've been waiting such a long time
Looking out for you
But you're not here
What's another year?
I've been waking such a long time
Reaching out for you
But you aren't near
What's another year?
What's another year
To someone who's lost everything that he owns?
What's another year
To someone who's getting used to being alone?
I've been praying such a long time
'Cause that's the only way to hide my fear
What's another year?
What's another year
To someone who's lost everything that he owns?
What's another year
To someone who's getting used to being alone?
I've been crying such a long time
With such a lot of pain in every tear
What's another year?
What's another year?
What's another year?*
