Lyrics:

No more champagne 
and the fireworks are through 
here we are, me and you 
feeling lost and feeling blue 
it\4x2019s the end of the party 
and the morning seems so grey 
so unlike yesterday 
now\4x2019s 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 neighbour is a friend 
happy new year 
happy new year 
may we all 
have our hopes 
our will to try 
if we don\4x2019t 
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\4x2019ll be okay 
dragging on feet of clay 
never knowing he\4x2019s astray 
keeps on going anyway 

Happy new year 
happy new year 
may we all 
have a vision 
now and then 
of a world where 
every neighbour is a friend 
happy new year 
happy new year 
may we all 
have our hopes 
our will to try 
if we don\4x2019t 
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 confetti on the floor 
it\4x2019s the end of a decade 
in another ten years time 
who can say what we\4x2019ll 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 neighbour is a friend 
happy new year 
happy new year 
may we all 
have our hopes 
our will to try 
if we don\4x2019t 
we might as well 
lay down and die 
you and I
