Píseň: For The Good Years

Interpret:
Chris Norman
Album:
The Original Album II: Different Shades
Watching the spinning of the wheel
Reflections of lives so unreal 
Look at the people running round 
Searching for something that can't be found


Chasing the shadows on the wall 
Well don't be afraid to count them all 
'Cos here is where you were meant to be 
And it's not so bad if only you'd see


Chorus: 
But you long, oh, for the good years 
Don't cry, for the good years 
We can laugh over the good years 
And try to believe in the good years


... ( instrumental ) ...


Think of me now before you sleep 
And look to yourself while you weep 
Try not to think that you don't care 
Why not believe anyone, anywhere


Chorus: 
But you long, oh, for the good years 
Don't cry, for the good years 
We can laugh over the good years 
And try to believe in the good years
the good years, the good years ..
