No more champagne and the fireworks are through
Here we are me and you feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party and the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday now's the time for us to say
Happy new year, happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbor is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Sometimes I see how the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives in the ashes of our lives
Oh yes man is a fool and he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on feet of clay never knowing he's a stray
Keeps on going anyway
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbor is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Seems to me now that the dreams we had before
Are all dead nothing more than confettion the floor
It's the end of a decade in another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find what lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbor is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
