One Dollar Short - A Theme For New Years... lyrics

Happy New Year

another ceremony of loneliness

you are the object of my thoughts tonight

you are everything that glitters

you reflect the light in so many ways

I kept my favourite pieces of last year

I pressed them in between pages

I wish I could be there with you tonight

instead of an airport lounge

plane ticket away

as distance and dimension prevail

you're a winters day I carry with me

we're a telephone conversation

a long distance song of injury

it's fast approacting the hour

the stroke of one last midnight

well wishes

a promise to you

a declaration I make to myself this time

A minute past midnight

the countdown is over now

another year has passed us by

a new year has just begun

I thought of you when the fireworks filled the sky

the first day of my new year

the first day of my new life

this is the loneliest time of the year

especially when you're not here

I'll celebrate on my own

a minute past midnight

the countdown is over now

another year has passed us by

a new year has just begun

I thought of you while fireworks filled the sky
