The midnight bells are ringing

A ship is setting sail

A newborn baby's crying

As lovers say farewell.

I'm singing hallelujah

Amen, the angels say

Let's hope tomorrow finds us

It's new year's day.

Let's toast to new beginnings

Raise up a glass and say

For all of our tomorrows

And what was yesterday.

I'm singing carpe diem

I'm saying seize the day

Come on, let's live forever

It's new year's day.

Where does the time go

Just watch the wind blow

Sha la la la

It's new year's day

Green does the grass grow

Outside my window

Sha la la la

It's new year's day.

This message in a bottle

The wisdom of the wine

It's just a rainy monday

This isn't auld lang syne.

I'm singing hallelujah

Amen, the angels say

Let's hope tomorrow finds us

It's new year's day.
