The midnight bells are ringing
A ship is setting sail
A newborn baby's cryin'
As lovers say farewell
And I'm singin', "Halleluja"
"Amen," the angels say
Let's hope tomorrow finds us
It's New Year's Day
Let's toast to new beginnings, okay
Raise up a glass and say
"For all of our tomorrows
And what was yesterday"
Come on
I'm singin', "Carpe diem"
I'm sayin', "Seize the day"
Come on, let's live forever
It's New Year's Day
Where does the time go?
Just watch the wind blow
Sha-la-la-la
It's New Year's Day
Green does the grass grow
Outside my window
Sha-la-la-la
It's New Year's Day
This message in a bottle
The wisdom of the wine
It's just a rainy Monday
This isn't "Auld Lang Syne"
And I'm singin', "Halleluja"
"Amen," the angels say
Let's hope tomorrow finds us
It's New Year's Day
