Lyrics : What's Another Year?

I've been waitin' such a long time, lookin' out for you
But you're not here - what's another year

I've been wakin' such a long time, reachin' out for you
But you aren't near - what's another year

What's another year
For someone who's lost everything that he owns
What's another year
For someone who's gettin' used to bein' alone

I've been prayin' such a long time
It's the only way to hide the fear - what's another year

What's another year
For someone who's lost everything that he owns
What's another year
For someone who's gettin' used to bein' alone

I've been cryin' such a long time
With such a lot of pain in every tear -
What's another year (for someone who is getting used to being alone)
What's another year (for someone who is getting used to being alone)
What's another year (for someone who is getting used to being alone)
