New Year's Song - Over the Rhine

New Year's Song Lyrics

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 hereLittle leftover Christmas tree
Just big enough for you and me
With just a single strand of lights
To tease the stars outsideAnd 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 insteadHere'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 sleeveAnd 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 thingLet's stay home and play old records
Our future's bright our past is checkered
What do you say we lift a glassToast 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 yearNew mercy comes with every morning
The unexpected with no warning
For loved ones who've gone on before
Sing me Auld Lang SyneNew mercy comes with every morning
The unexpected with no warning
Let the dear ones you love know
You'll miss them when you go
