The Perfect Year

Ring out the old, bring in the new;

A midnight wish to share with you!

Your lips are warm, my head is light...

Were we alive before tonight?

[Chorus:]

I don't need a crowded ballroom!

Everything I need is here...

If you're with me,

Next year will be

The perfect year!

No need to hear the music play;

Your eyes say all there is to say...

The stars can fade and they can shine,

As long as your face is next to mine!

[Chorus:]

I don't need a crowded ballroom!

Everything I need is here...

If you're with me,

Next year will be

The perfect year!

[Instrumental]

[Chorus:]

We don't need a crowded ballroom!

Everything we need is here...

If you're with me,

Next year will be

The perfect year!

It's New Year's Eve and hopes are high:

Dance one year in, kiss one goodbye!

Another chance, another start

So many dreams to tease the heart...

[Chorus:]

We don't need a crowded ballroom!

Everything we need is here...

And face to face,

We will embrace

The perfect year...

Oh!

We don't need a crowded ballroom!

Everything we need is here...

And face to face,

We shall embrace

The perfect year...

The perfect year...
