It’s a new year
Where has the time gone?
It’s a new year
I’ll sing a bittersweet song
It’s a new year
For the time gone by
It’s a new year
The last one just flew by

It’s a new year
Time of laughter, time of tears
It’s a new year
Time of war, time of fears
It’s a new year
But the killing’s still going on
It’s a new year
But the old haunts us still

It’s a new year
But I don’t feel any older
It’s a new year
But the weather’s getting colder
It’s a new year
What’s your promise to break or keep?
It’s a new year
I think it’s time to sleep
