New Year’s Day lyrics

[Verse 1]
The midnight bells are ringing
A ship is setting sail
A newborn baby's cryin'
As lovers say farewell

[Chorus]
And I'm singin', "Halleluja"
"Amen," the angels say
Let's hope tomorrow finds us
It's New Year's Day

[Verse 2]
Let's toast to new beginnings, okay
Raise up a glass and say
"For all of our tomorrows
And what was yesterday"
Come on

[Chorus]
I'm singin', "Carpe diem"
I'm sayin', "Seize the day"
Come on, let's live forever
It's New Year's Day

[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
This message in a bottle
The wisdom of the wine
It's just a rainy Monday
This isn't "Auld Lang Syne"

[Chorus]
And I'm singin', "Halleluja"
"Amen," the angels say
Let's hope tomorrow finds us
It's New Year's Day
