She sets her alarm Five minutes to midnight And wakes just in time To greet the new year Remembers the kisses Remembers the laughter And all that's gone away
She shuffles around Turning the lights on Goes to the kitchen Gets the champagne Opens the window And wrapped in a blanket Begins to count and wait Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Happy new year, happy new year
They say you can hear it Over the island Starting in Times Square and spreading throughout A roar like the ocean It comes from a distance Grows louder then turns quiet
She sits in a dream Or in a memory While old conversations play in her ears Sometimes the minutes feel longer than hours Some days feel long as years
She just glad she gets to be around To see another spring come to this town
Happy new year, happy new year To you
She sets her alarm Five minutes to midnight And wakes just in time To say her goodbyes Thanking the old year for all it has brought her No mention of the things it took away
She shuffles around Turning the lights out Closes the window Checks on the locks Folds up the blanket Empties the bottle And leaves it in the hallway dark
She's just glad she gets to be around To see another spring come to this town
Happy new year, happy new year Happy new year, happy new year Happy new year, happy new year To you
Happy new year, happy new year Happy new year, happy new year
Happy new year, happy new year To youTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
