No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blueIt's the end of the party
And the morning seems so gray
So unlike yesterday
Nows the time for us to sayHappy 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, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and ISometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our livesOh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anywayHappy 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, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and ISeems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floorIt'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-nineHappy 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, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
