New Year's Song - Over the Rhine

Here’s a little New Year’s song

Don’t worry it won’t take too long

Just a bit of New Year’s cheer

To say I’m glad you’re here

Little leftover Christmas tree

Just big enough for you and me

With just a single strand of lights

To tease the stars outside

And we thought perhaps we’d see some friends

But as the old year slowly ends

The dogs are dreaming in their beds

We might stay home instead

Here’s a little New Year’s song

Don’t worry it won’t take too long

Just a quiet New Year’s eve

There’s somethin' up your sleeve

And I might gently take your wrist

Read your body like a Christmas list

The first night that the New Year brings

I wouldn’t wanna miss a thing

Let’s stay home and play old records

Our future’s bright our past is checkered

What do you say we lift a glass

Toast the ghost of another year past

Just a little New Year’s song

Happy New Year everyone

It came upon a midnight clear

Another brand new year

New mercy comes with every morning

The unexpected with no warning

For loved ones who’ve gone on before

Sing me Auld Lang Syne

New mercy comes with every morning

The unexpected with no warning

Let the dear ones you love know

You’ll miss them when you go
