new years dreams

OH MY GOODNESS IT’S ANOTHER NEW YEAR
SOMETIMES I DIDN’T THINK I’D STLL BE HERE
BUT I AWAKE EACH MORNING WITH A NEW PAIN IT SEEMS
NOW I’M LOOKING AT NEW YEARS DREAMS

SIXTY-TWO NEW YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE
AND WITH EACH NEW YEAR I DON’T WAIT AS LONG
TIME GOES FASTER WITH EACH COMING YEAR
BUT I HAVE TO SMILE BECAUSE I’M STILL HERE

I LOOK IN THE MIRROR, THE CHILD IS GONE
AN OLD LADY STANDS, ISN’T THAT WRONG?
FOR TIME TO PLAY SUCH A TRICK IT SEEMS
SO FOR NOW I JUST CHARISH MY NEW YEARS DREAMS

A TIME OF YOUTH I SEEM TO LONG FOR
WHEN I COULD RUN AND JUMP AND SCREAM FOR MORE
BUT NOW I’M HAPPY TO JUST WALK FAST
AS I HEAD HOME I HOPE I LAST

IT’S REALLY NOT SO BAD GETTING OLD
NEW YEARS EVE PARTIES ARE STILL IN MY SOUL
BUT THE PARTY I GO TO IS A DIFFERENT KIND
FOR I CELEBRATE BEING IN BED BY NINE

BUT STILL I WELCOME EACH AND EVERY NEW YEAR
SO GLAD TO BE HAPPY AND STILL BE HERE
EVEN THOUGH EACH DAY BRINGS A NEW PAIN IT SEEMS
I STILL EMBRACE EACH NEW YEARS DREAMS
