It’s Just Another New Years Eve

Don’t look so sad,

It’s not so bad you know.

It’s just another night,

That’s all it is.

It’s not the first,

It’s not the worst you know,

We’ve come through all the rest,

We’ll get through this.

We’ve made mistakes,

But we’ve made good friends too.

Remember all the nights we spent with them?

And all our plans,

Who says they can’t come true?

Tonight’s another chance to start again.

It’s just another New Years Eve,

Another night like all the rest.

It’s just another New Years Eve,

Let’s make it the best.

It’s just another New Years Eve,

It’s just another Auld Lang Syne,

But when we’re through this New Year

You’ll see, will be

Just fine.

We’re not alone, we’ve got the world you know.

And it won’t let us down, just wait and see.

And we’ll grow old, but think how wise we’ll grow.

There’s more you know, it’s only New Years Eve.

It’s just another New Years Eve,

Another night like all the rest.

It’s just another New Years Eve,

Let’s make it the best.

It’s just another New Years Eve,

It’s just another Auld Lang Syne,

But when we’re through this New Year, you’ll see, will be

Just fine.
