No Bad Years (Alternate) Lyrics

Look at this calendar paper

A brand new year's just days away

Like a vessel with a good sailor

It went so fast, no halfway

Paper in hand, take a stand

Time to draw a balance sheet

Find the good and the unplanned

Did I live or just make ends meet

Well, for sure, got lots to forget

But not that much to regret

Far away from the best

Far away to make it last

Some wrong choices made

Some bad moves played

But no reason for cursing

It was a year for learning

Christmas lights still all around

Shine's beautiful, even if Santa's gone

Life's about loss and turnarounds

A family pic shows I'm never alone

Well, sometimes I got upset

But not afraid to take a step

Far away from the best

Far away to make it last

Some wrong choices made

Some bad moves played

But no reason for cursing

It was a year for learning

And here come the fireworks

With cheers and toasts so bright

Be glad and hold them tight

'Cause all those you love

Are there by your side

Far away from the best

Far away to make it last

Some wrong choices made

Some bad moves played

But lots to be proud

Real love by your side

There are no bad years

There are years for learning

When the clock hits midnight

It's time for your returning

It's time to restart
