What a year for a new year

We need it like we needed life I guess

Last one left us lying in a mess

What a year for a new year

What a night for a sunrise

And we thought the dark would never end

Reaching out to try to find a friend

What a night for a sunrise

Sunrise

What a day for new day

And our star shines like a miracle

And our world is almost beautiful again

What a day for a new day

New day

New Year

What a year for a new year

What a year for a new year

What a year for a new year

What a year for a new year

What a night for a sunrise

And we thought the dark would never end

Reaching out to try to find a friend

What a night for a sunrise

Sunrise

Soon we’ll be lying in our beds

And new dreams will fill our heads

And the old ones will be ended

Hope we’ll forget about this place

Let it go without a trace

Wipe the teardrops from our faces

Oh, what a year for a new year

What a year, what a year, for a new year

What a year for a new year

What a year for a new year, new year

what a year for a new year, new year, new year
