New Year’s Song

Here's a little New Year's song
Don't worry it won't take too long
Just a bit of New Year's cheer
To say I'm glad you're here

Little leftover Christmas tree
Just big enough for you and me
With just a single strand of lights
To tease the stars outside

And we thought perhaps we'd see some friends
But as the old year slowly ends
The dogs are dreaming in their beds
We might stay home instead

Here's a little New Year's song
Don't worry it won't take too long
Just a quiet New Year's eve
There's something up my sleeve

And I might gently take your wrist
Read your body like a Christmas list
The first night that the New Year brings
I wouldn't wanna miss a thing

Let's stay home and play old records
Our future's bright, the past is checkered
What do you say we lift a glass
Toast the ghost of another year past

Just a little New Year's song
Happy New Year everyone
It came upon a midnight clear
Another brand new year

New mercy comes with every morning
The unexpected with no warning
For loved ones who've gone on before
Sing me Auld Lang Syne

[Interlude]

New mercy comes with every morning
The unexpected with no warning
Let the dear ones you love know
You'll miss them when you go
