And cheap champagne don't dull the pain of ringing in the year Wondering if you think of me at all With a little more resolve, I might be somewhere else with you But I make no resolution of the kind So I guess it's just God blessing you, did all that you could do Let all acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind To Roman candles cut across a January sky Well, won't you miss your whiskey in the wintertime, my dear The way that I've been missing you this fall? And cheap champagne don't dull the pain of ringing in the year Wondering if you think of me at all Well, I still wonder about you sometimes, you know
