New Years Eve

This is the night
The world alive.
You must be there,
So you go outside.
And you go out to the bars
And watch as the lovers leave.
And think how it's hard to be
Alone on New Years Eve.


Celebration,
The glasses are raised
A toast for the past
And for better days.
You think of all that's done
There's so much more to achieve
But it is hard to face
Alone on New Years Eve.


They're holding hands
As you hold your beer.
They're so animated
You're just intoxicated.
And she left 3 years ago
Sometimes it's hard to believe
That here you are again
Alone on New Years Eve.


The count down begins
And midnight arrives.
As she turns to him
You close your eyes.
Why look at others triumphs?
They make you feel bereaved.
So have another drink
Alone on New Years Eve.


And so the night
Is gone and your chances passed.
Though she was in your sight,
You never had the strength to ask.
And when the morning comes
The sun rises to reprieve
The grief of another night
Alone on New Years Eve
