There's Always Next Year

by Mike Maimone

about

Well, 2023 was the worst year of my life so...

lyrics

Took a chance, bet on myself
Made a plan, didn't want help
Well God damn it all went to hell
Starting over once again
You win some, you lose some
But I can't remember the last one I won
It's been a while since it's been fun
Guess it's not supposed to be…

There's always next year, baby
Ain't it a shame?
Our hopes are not gone,
They've only moved on
They'll be back again
There's always next year, baby
And that'll never change
So dry those tears
There's always next year
There's always next year

I saw a beautiful woman
She had a beautiful husband
They had beautiful children
Ain't it beautiful, love?
I looked down at my dishes
Just the crumbs of my wishes
Wanted a son to go fish with
And a lover back at home

But there's always next year, baby
Ain't it a shame?
Our hopes are not gone,
They've only moved on
They'll be back again
There's always next year, baby
And that'll never change
So dry those tears
There's always next year
There's always next year

I guess we're sayin' goodbye now
We have no say when our time's out
Like a rose pressed and dried out
We move on to what's next
My memoir's out to pasture
It would've been a disaster
So I don't have any last words
Carve just four words on my grave:

There's always next year...
Baby, ain't it a shame?
Our hopes are not gone,
they've only moved on
They'll be back again
There's always next year, baby
And that'll never change
So dry those tears
There's always next year
There's always next year
There's always next year
