Here are the lyrics for Johnny's What's Another Year:

I've been waiting such a long time,

Looking out for you

But you're not here

What's another year?

I've been waking such a long time,

Reaching out for you

But you aren't near

What's another year?

What's another year?

To someone who's lost everything that he owns?

What's another year?

To someone who's getting used to being alone?

I've been praying such a long time

It's the only way to hide my fear

What's another year?

What's another year?

To someone who's lost everything that he owns?

What's another year?

To someone who's getting used to being alone?

I've been crying such a long time

With such a lot of pain in every tear

What's another year?

What's another year?
