How 'bout a tear for the year of 1960
|
I watched the fins of the Cadillac fall
|
I remember Dad explained about the Berlin Wall
|
|
How 'bout a tear for the torment and the trouble
|
That was brewing in the Asian way
|
I wore a smile like the faces that surround L.A.
|
|
In the city of the lost and found
|
It's hard to get a break
|
Hard to stop from getting turned around
|
And make the same mistakes
|
|
My reputation's on the line
|
The final day of '59
|
But like the sun, just watch me shine
|
Today
|
|
How 'bout a cheer for the piano virtuoso
|
I practiced 61 minutes a day
|
I could never reach the keys
|
But it was all OK
|
|
How 'bout a cheer for the humour in my brother
|
That could brighten up the darkest nights
|
It's just another sign of love
|
Whenever we would fight
|
|
It's all the same twenty years ago
|
As it is right now
|
Like a tour at the closing show
|
When I take my bow
|
|
My reputation's on the line
|
At the start of '79
|
But like the sun, just watch me shine
|
Today
|
I've played this part so many times
|
Since the end of '59
|
But like the sun, just watch me shine
|
Today
|
