Happy New Year
No more champagne
And the fireworks are through.
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue.
It’s the end of the party
And 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 the 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 the 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
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It’s the end of the decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we’ll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine…
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
May we all have a vision now and then
Of the 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.
