lyrics

It's gonna be a happy new year
There's gonna be a little change
Running to make that last connection
Before time runs out and the bells of the new year ring

It's gonna be a happy new year
And the ground's just as cold as yesterday
And the nights seem to get a little darker
I miss you and the time the new year brings

So let's have a happy new year
Every morning we can sing Auld Lang Syne
And we'll fall into the arms of the first day
Of the new year and the beginning of our lives

I can only blame myself for tomorrow
Cause I’m wishing for things I can't have
Last year was such a bad one
Spending all that time lying flat on my back

I’m drifting in an ocean
Of memories and thoughts so far behind
I’m lost in the darkness
I’m drowning in the sea of my mind

So let's have a happy new year
Every morning we can sing Auld Lang Syne
And we'll fall into the arms of the first day
Of the new year and the beginning of our lives
