Happy New Year!! Yes, it's already 2007 down here. I was looking through "My Stuff" and went to "My Posts" - last page and this is what I found. Written in 2000 and I quickly made changes as suggested back then.

SAME OLD NEW YEAR

The wall clock strikes midnight
Another year ends
Alone in a corner
Watching old friends
Laughing and dancing
But no-one can see
Without you a New Year
Means nothing to me

Chorus
Same old New Year
Same old new tears
Same old yearning
Wanting you here
Same old New Year

Mindlessly sipping
A glass of champagne
I toast to a new year
Without you again
If I had just one wish
That one wish would be
That you were here starting
This New Year with me

Repeat chorus
