Happy New Year another ceremony of loneliness you are the object of my thoughts tonight you are everything that glitters you reflect the light in so many ways I kept my favourite pieces of last year I pressed them in between pages I wish I could be there with you tonight instead of an airport lounge plane ticket away as distance and dimension prevail you're a winters day I carry with me we're a telephone conversation a long distance song of injury it's fast approacting the hour the stroke of one last midnight well wishes a promise to you a declaration I make to myself this time A minute past midnight the countdown is over now another year has pa**ed us by a new year has just begun I thought of you when the fireworks filled the sky the first day of my new year the first day of my new life this is the loneliest time of the year especially when you're not here I'll celebrate on my own a minute past midnight the countdown is over now another year has pa**ed us by a new year has just begun I thought of you while fireworks filled the sky
