Words and Music by Eric Carmen
It’s been a long, hard year
Sometimes it felt like we might not make it
But baby, we’re still here
We showed the world that our love could take it
We'll never let them break us down
As long as we still believe
Happy New Year’s Eve
Drink a toast to
All the ghosts we
Leave behind us
Here’s a fresh new start
Full of promise
That’s what brought us here
It’s a brand new year
The world can be so cold
It breaks your heart in a thousand ways
But baby, we won’t fold
We’ll stand our ground for another day
And we won’t let them break us down
As long as we still believe
Happy New Year’s Eve
Drink a toast to
All the ghosts we
Leave behind us
Here’s a fresh new start
Full of promise
That’s what brought us here
It’s a brand new year
You’re the one
That I want for all my life
Stroke of midnight
Here’s a kiss for Auld Lang Sine
Happy New Year’s Eve
Drink a toast to
All the ghosts we
Leave behind us
Here’s a fresh new start
Full of promise
That’s what got us here
It’s a brand new year
A brand new year
It’s a brand new year
