Time and Time Again

Time and time again 
I have made it here,
Said goodbye to the old
And welcomed a new year

No top hats, no noisemakers 
No champagne or wine,
Just the purest notes
... Of 'Auld Lang Syne'

So, what am I doing ...
New Year's, New Year's Eve?,
Celebrating the little things 
... I did achieve 

Staying awake comes easily
Until the midnight hour, 
Watching the ball drop
And the confetti shower

Time and time again 
The countdown is done,
Out with the old, in with the new
Five, four, three, two, one!
