So it's been a long year
Every new day brings one more tear
Till there's nothing left to cry
My, my how time flies
Like little children hiding their eyes
We'll make it disappear
Let's start a brand new year

We'll lift up our glass
And toast the moment

Something good is on its way
And we're gonna pull through.
