the midnight bells are ringing a ship is setting sail a newborn baby s crying as lovers say farewell and i m singing hallelujah 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 i m singing carpe diem i m saying 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 singing hallelujah amen the angels say let s hope tomorrow finds us it s new year s day
