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 a 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 ok
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 a 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 a 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 a 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~
