[Verse 1]
The most as you'll ever go
Is back where you used to know
If grown-ups could laugh this slow
Where as you watch the hour snow

[Refrain]
Years may go by
Ah, years may go by

[Verse 2]
So hold on to your special friend
Here, you'll need something to keep her in:
"Now you stay inside this foolish grin..."
Though any day your secrets end
Then again

[Refrain]
Years may go by
Ah, years may go by

[Verse 3]
You saved your own special friend
'Cause here you need something to hide her in
And you stay inside that foolish grin
When everyday now secrets end
And then again
[Refrain]
Years may go by
Ah, years may go by
Years may go by
Ah, years may go by (Hmm)
