Holding On To the Year

Another year goes by I watch stunned I watch the time fly All the laughter All the joy Slipped through my fingers Like water And before I knew it It was all over Gone is the year And I sit here Dreaming about it Longing for another day Of the same happiness A new beginning awaits me A new year calls out But all I want is this year Call me selfish Call me silly But I want to sit here In this year Rather than the next No year could compare To this carefree one The next one scares me It mocks me Because that will be the end Of all my years It marks all my fears Choices will come Decisions will be for me to make But all I ever wanted Was a life without inhibition And now I'm stranded Can't go back Don't want to go forward Where is that power That had been with me for so long Where is the lover Who I never Looked for Will I find it all in next year Will I find What I couldn't find in this year? If that is the case Then I want to go Just to find my future Just to find find what I am looking for.
