This is gonna be the year
Something good is happening here
I'm gonna make it true
Lord knows I'm overdue
This is gonna be the year
Heaven above is my witness
Can I get a witness?
This is gonna be the year
Whisper, "It's all right," in my ear
So dance me to the end of the night
A new year will shine
A new year will shine
On you, tomorrow when you open your eyes
A new year will shine
A new year will shine
And you'll throw your arms around me
And you'll kiss me like you never kissed me before
My dear, this is gonna be the year
The time that you spend in love, is never really long enough
I'll pick you up and spin you 'round
We'll put the hard times behind us now
This is gonna be the year
It's been a long time a comin', long time a comin'
Rage against the weary eyes
A little bit bolder, and a little more wise
So dance me to the end of the night
'Til the new year will shine
A new year will shine
On you to tomorrow when you open your eyes
A new year will shine
A new year will shine
And you'll throw your arms around me
And you'll kiss me like you never kissed me before
My dear, it's gonna be, the year
All that you wanted is coming this year
No need to hurry, nothing to fear
All that you wanted is coming this year
No need to hurry, nothing to fear
All that you wanted is coming this year
No need to hurry, nothing to fear
All that you wanted is coming this year
No need to hurry, nothing to fear
All that you wanted is coming this year
No need to hurry, it's coming this year
