Happy New Year

No more champagne

The fireworks are through

Here we are, me and you

Feeling lost and feeling blue

It's the end of the party

The morning seems so grey

So unlike yesterday

Now's the time for us to say:

Happy New Year, Happy New Year

May we all have a vision now and then

Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

Happy New Year, Happy New Year

May we all have our hopes, our will to try

If we don't we might as well lay down and die

You and I

Sometimes I see

How the brave new world arrives

And I see how it thrives

In the ashes of our lives

Oh yes, man is a fool

And he thinks he'll be okay

Dragging on, feet of clay

Never knowing he's astray

Keeps on going anyway

Happy New Year, Happy New Year

May we all have a vision now and then

Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

Happy New Year, Happy New Year

May we all have our hopes, our will to try

If we don't we might as well lay down and die

You and I

Seems to me now

The dreams we had before

All are dead, nothing more

Than confetti on the floor

It's the start of a decade

In another ten years time

Who can say what we'll find

What lies waiting down the line

In the end of 2K9

Happy New Year, Happy New Year

May we all have a vision now and then

Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

Happy New Year, Happy New Year

May we all have our hopes, our will to try

If we don't we might as well lay down and die

You and I
