Let the Bells Ring

[Intro]
Two three

[Verse 1]
Christmas is past now
And the year is in its decline
We all take a last bow
This was our chance to shine
We'll go down to the sea shore
With hearts as wide as our dreams
And we'll wait by the new dawn
Till the sea she glistens and gleams

[Chorus]
Let the bells ring
Here my arms are open wide
Send the old year out on the rolling tide
Let the sun rise
There is nothing now I fear
Let the sun rise on a happy new year
On a happy new year

[Verse 2]
Christmas is past now
And the sun has taken her turn
The long shadows cast now
Is the darkness from which we can learn
We'll go down to the sea shore
With the song of joy on our tongues
And we'll wait by the new dawn
And we'll sing from the depths of our lungs

[Chorus]
Let the bells ring
Here my arms are open wide
Send the old year out on the rolling tide
Let the sun rise
There is nothing now I fear
Let the sun rise on a happy new year
On a happy new year

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Christmas is past now
So cast off the cruel and the sad
The years go so fast now
Just take with you what makes your heart glad
We'll go down to the sea shore
And we'll stand with the lost and the loved
And we'll wait by the new dawn
Till the sun joins the stars up above

[Chorus]
Let the bells ring
Here my arms are open wide
Send the old year out on the rolling tide
Let the sun rise
There is nothing now I fear
Let the sun rise on a happy new year
Let the bells ring
There is nothing now I fear
Let the sun rise on a happy new year
On a happy new year
On a happy new year
On a happy new year
