Midnight will sound |
|
And we'll all gather round |
|
The new little year |
|
Of the day |
|
But dear old year |
|
Before you go |
|
Here's something you ought to know |
|
Though your back is bent |
|
And your beard is gray |
|
You're a year well spent |
|
And I'd like to say |
|
You put on a 1st class show |
|
And I'm sorry to see you go |
|
You brought trouble |
|
Taught me to handle it |
|
Thanks for the lesson |
|
You brought romance |
|
Oh what a scandal it caused |
|
When it all fell through ;-) |
|
You brought worry |
|
Taught me to laugh at it |
|
Now I'm confessin |
|
That my whole approach is new |
|
After a year like you |
|
So we'll share a toast |
|
From the loving cup |
|
Here's to you grown old |
|
And to me grown up |
|
There's nothing left up your sleeve |
|
But I'm sorry to see you leave |
|
So retire into a memory |
|
You've earned a good rest |
|
It's been great and though I'll pretend to be |
|
Part of this midnight show |
|
Just between old you and me |
|
And that kid with his year to grow |
|
I'm sorry, really sorry to see you go |
|
Sorry to see you go x 5 |
