A song for ending this strange, strange year.

The one and only Eytan Mirsky with "This Year's Gonna Be Our Year."



Do you remember way back in January
The way we had it all worked out?
Knew what we wanted, knew what to do to get it,
If there was ever any doubt then we’d say,

“This year’s gonna be our year,
Don’t you know it’s gonna be our year now,
Much better than last year,
Which wasn’t good at all.
This year’s gonna be our year,
Don’t you know it’s gonna be our year now,
Much better than last year,
Which wasn’t good at all.”

And you remember the way we felt in August
When nothing seemed to go as planned?
We didn’t waver,
We never hesitated
‘Cause it was time to make a stand. And we said,

“This year’s gonna be our year,
Don’t you know it’s gonna be our year now,
Much better than last year,
Which wasn’t good at all.
This year’s gonna be our year,
I can tell it’s gonna be our year now,
Much better than last year,
Which wasn’t good at all.”

Now we’ve reached December,
And it’s been so disappointing
That we’re glad this sorry year’s about to end.
But in just a little while
We’ll be back in January,
And you know we’re gonna start it all again.
And we’ll say,

“This year’s gonna be our year,
Don’t you know it’s gonna be our year now,
Much better than last year
And the year before.
This year’s gonna be our year,
Don’t you know it’s gonna be our year now,
Much better than last year,
Which wasn’t good at all.”
