Happy New Year

The last twelve months have been long

There has been good times and bad times but we remain strong

Do you remember the things that happened from beginning to end

Now there’s a fresh new start right around the bend

So gather your family and friends around

Party it up and turn up the music sound

 

So fill yourself with good will and cheer

And when the clock strikes midnight shout

Happy New Year

 

Father times dying baby New Year is ready to be born

Write a new book of your life the old one is tattered and torn

Don’t forget the past but let the pain slip away

Let the sun shine upon you on the first New Years Day

Be a better person live in the now

Enjoy your life more make a solemn vow

 

So fill yourself with good will and cheer

And when the clock strikes midnight shout

Happy New Year

 

Remember loved ones who have fallen in the past

Raise a toast to them and yourself to make their memory last

Grab your sweet heart and kiss them when the bell tolls

Pray for peace and all the departed souls

Make a New Years resolution don’t break your word

Be true to yourself and others and let your voice be heard

 

So fill yourself with good will and cheer

And when the clock strikes midnight shout

Happy New Year

 

Make this one better than the year before

The sands of time are wasting away each day a little more

Make each second count always strive

Go face your fears and thank heaven your alive

Indulge in your passions make your dreams come true

Good luck God bless Happy New Year to you
