Lyrics

[Chorus]

Years

Everybody knows

You gotta let 'em go

And they kinda roll by

Like tears

Just a measure of time

Playin' with your mind

Passin' you by

Those years

[Verse 1]

Look around

Up and down

They're nowhere to be found

Like the wind

My old friends

They come and go again

[PreChorus]

Don't look back in sorrow

Just hope you see tomorrow

[Chorus]

Those years

Everybody knows

You gotta let 'em go

And they kinda roll by

Like tears

Just a measure of time

Playin' with your mind

Passin' you by

Those years

[Verse 2]

You and me

Came to be

We raised a family

When we're gone

They live on

To see what we won't see

[PreChorus]

Don't look back in sorrow

The children have tomorrow

[Chorus]

Those years

Everybody knows

You gotta let 'em go

And they kinda roll by

Like tears

Just a measure of time

Playin' with your mind

Passin' you by

Those years

Everybody knows

You gotta let 'em go

And they kinda roll by

Like tears

Just a measure of time

Playin' with your mind

Passin' you by

Those years

Oh, lord
