Happy New Year, I Love You

I caught my reflection alone in a stream

Cos' a puddles a portrait for a man on his knees

And I measure the time in empty bottles of wine

I retrace all the days to find what I lost

And I hope you get your way everyday

This January, my baby

Oh, happy new year

I love you

I love you

I love you

The curtain is drenched from the rain that's outside

And the inside is freezing with the glass open wide

And I've tried but I won't shut you out

I unlace all the ties that had kept me away

And I hold onto pictures as I watch them fade

And I've seen this January, you'll replace me

Happy new year

I love you

I love you

I love you

Happy new year

I love you

I love you

I love you

I held your attention for a fleeting dream

Your summer affection now hangs with the trees

And I measure my life with the ones I leave behind

Another sullen soul obsessed with something

You said was meaningless

And I guess this January, we'll put it to rest

Happy new year

I love you

I love you

I love you

Happy new year

I love you

I love you

I love you
