I'll wear the jewels you gave me round my neck tonight

Though I know you won't be there

I'll wear them in a gold chain that catches in the light

Though I know of course you won't appear

I'll leave the party early after a drink or two

And I'll check my phone for calls

Though I know there will be none from you, from you

I'll walk home with snow falling

Deep on frozen lawns

And I'll leave all those others celebrating

All the things that they have done

I'll come over to your office and watch them come and go

Though I know I won't see you there

And I'll take a train down to the coast and sit and watch the sea

I'll be sitting there alone

As usual, above all things I miss you every day

Without pause

Happy new year my darling, happy new year

I'll walk home with snow falling

Deep on frozen lawns

And I'll leave all those others celebrating

All the things that they have done

Happy new year my darling, happy new year

(And I'll leave)

Happy new year my darling, happy new year

(And I'll leave)

Happy new year my darling, happy new year

(And I'll leave)

Happy new year my darling, happy new year

(And I'll leave...)
