lyrics

THESE ARE YOUR BEST YEARS (D. Christie)

You don’t speak
Looks like you’ve seen a bit of weather
Drifted out of time
I’m a witness to the signs
Just an empty space now

These are your best years
These are your best years
Light another candle
Put away those fears
For these are your best years

Take all you remember
Of what you regret ever having said
Write it all down
Then throw it on the fire
Let it burn ‘til the ghost is dead
Did it disappear in stages…
When you lost all your old nerve?
‘Cause there’s a rumour going ‘round
That maybe you stepped down
And you can’t get it back… now

These are your best years
These are your best years
Light another candle
Put away those fears
For these are you best years
These are your best years
These are your best years
Usher in a new day
Feel it drawing near
For these are you best years
