The Year the World Stood Still

I don't wanna hear about

All the time you have to fill

Lucky you, you don't remember

The year the world stood still

People dressed in diamond rings

And those who know Goodwill

Those with Gods and those without 'em

The healthy and ill

We grew apart six-feet between us

Boy, if looks could kill

I swear I should've gone to prison

The year the world stood still

Ahhh

When you’re waving your goodbyes

Ahhh

Underneath the bluest skies

Oh-ahhh

No, you don't know what it's like wasting time

Not your fault, you don't remember

The year the world stood still

Sister Bailey up in Boston

She always gets so sick

I was making plans to see her

But couldn't make the trip

When I'm feeling lost sometimes

I'll call her up and we'll

Talk about the good, the bad, and

The year the world stood still

Ahhh

When you’re waving your goodbyes

Ahhh

Underneath the bluest skies

Oh-ahhh

No, you don't know what it's like wasting time

See the kids in paradise

Seeking out their thrill?

Lucky them, they don't remember

The year the world stood still
