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 something up my 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 the 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
