A New Year’s Song — Lyrics

It took me years to do my waiting
For the day when I would find
I won’t be wait­ing till the end of time
I’m stand­ing still, I’m contemplating
My fear of being left behind
Time has nev­er been a friend of mine

Anoth­er New year
Soon to slip away
But I’m not yet through here
Help me save this night please, can­cel the day

I’m restor­ing my amazement
At this mul­ti­tude of worlds
And how they fit togeth­er now
And I am cling­ing to the moment
That is nev­er to return
Let’s just say this is for­ev­er now

Take me back to
The shores where we once played
Or are you just a part of
That tapes­try of dreams that I’ve made

I’m get­ting weak I’m sentimental
I could just fall into your arms
If that wasn’t some­thing I would nev­er do
My New Year’s Queen, my only comfort
Where have you been and will you stay?
Some­body save me, it doesn’t mat­ter who

No more of these brainstorms
I’m not to be trust­ed when I fly
And though you’re not what I prayed for
That’s o.k. ’cause nei­ther am I

And I’m restor­ing my amazement
At this world in con­stant change
Where everything’s so well arranged
The true and the bad things, good and evil ones
And those who’re not to blame
And I will cry as long as I am not ashamed

(Cry then) I’d do
(Cry now) if not for you
It’s those sil­ly tears that got me blind
(Please stop cry­ing ’cause)
It’s tear­ing up my mind

How sweet the difference
This bit­ter pow­der makes
I’ll take over
A lit­tle smile is all it takes

And I’m restor­ing my amazement
At this mul­ti­tude of worlds
And how they fit togeth­er now
I’m restor­ing what I am
I’ll explore the why and how
That is things are get­ting bet­ter now

I’ll adore you, let us leave
There will be you, there will be me
We shall be free, we’ll make a bet­ter crowd

That is things are get­ting better
Real­ly, real­ly get­ting better
Things are final­ly get­ting bet­ter now
