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 alike yesterday
Now the time for us to say
Happy New Year, Happy New Year!
May we all have a vision now and then
Of the world when every neighbour is a friend
Happy New Year, Happy New Year!
May we all have a home, some will to try
If you don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Sometimes I see all the brand new world around
And I see all that drives 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 when every neighbour is a friend
Happy New Year, Happy New Year!
May we all have a home, some will to try
If you 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 in bed
Nothing more than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade in another day's time
Who can say what we'll find, what life's waiting down the line?
In the end of and a night (?)
Happy New Year, Happy New Year!
May we all have a vision now and then
Of the world when every neighbour is a friend
Happy New Year, Happy New Year!
May we all have a home, some will to try
If you don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
