New Year's Eve Songtext

von Michael Friedman

On New Year's Eve
You put the old year to sleep
And you make yor plans
Vows you know you won't keep
And you stare out the window
Into the cold deep snow
It's so damned cold out there
Where did the summer go ?

On New Year's Eve
Just a few years ago
My Daddy died
I still can't believe it so
Now I stare out the window
And up to heaven's door
And I see my plans
Can't include him anymore

Why on New Year's Eve ?
Why on any day ?
Why that New Year's Eve ?
Why'd he go away ? (2X)

Now on New Year's Eve
And any day foreseen
I swear I'll get more exercise
And keep my nose clean
And I'll break some o'them promises
And with a smile on my face
I imagine that he's watching
From some place
I imagine that he's laughing
From some place
