Champagne bubbles
to drink away your troubles
on the eve of another new year
The clock strikes twelve
put your dreams on the shelve
You hear the fireworks sound
door open, have a seat on the ground
watch the show…alone
Start the new year
with a drop of a tear
and say a prayer
Lord help me...
to be slow to anger and quick to forgive
to be slow to speak and quick to listen
thank you for the blessings received
and please bless all those that grieve
Celebrations and laughter fill the air
secretly wishing that I could be there
Wipe away the tear
and put on a smile
for yet another year
