and the fireworks are through
feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party,
and the morning seems so grey
now's the time for us to say
Happy New Year, Happy New Year
May we all have a vision now and then
On a world where every neighbor is a friend
Happy New Year, Happy New Year
May we all have our hopes,
we might as well lay down and die
Sometimes I see how the brave
in the ashes of our lives
Dragging on, free to play,
He's a stray, keeps on going, anyway
May we all have a vision now and then
Happy New Year, Happy New Year
May we all have our hopes,
If we don't, we might as well lay
that the dreams we had be
It's the end of a dec ade
in another ten years' time
Who can say what we'll find,
what lies waiting down the line
And in the end I'm eighty -n ine
Happy New Year, Happy New Year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbor is a friend
Happy New Year, Happy New Year
May we all have our hopes,
If we don't, we might as well
