Happy New Year - ABBA

 

No more champagne

And the fireworks are through

Here we are, me and you

Feeling lost and feeling blue

It`s the end of the party

And the morning seems so grey

So unlike yesterday

Now`s the time for us to say

Happy new year Happy new year

May we all have a vision now and then

Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

Happy new year Happy new year

May we all have our hopes, our will to try

If we don`t we might as well lay down and die

You and I

Sometimes I see

How the brave new world arrives

And I see how it thrives

In the ashes of our lives

Oh yes, man is a fool

And he thinks he`ll be okay

Dragging on, feet of clay

Never knowing he`s astray

Keeps on going anyway

Happy new year Happy new year

May we all have a vision now and then

Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

Happy new year Happy new year

May we all have our hopes, our will to try

If we don`t we might as well lay down and die

You and I

 

Seems to me now

That the dreams we had before

Are all dead, nothing more

Than confetti on the floor

It`s the end of a decade

In another ten years time

Who can say what we`ll find

What lies waiting down the line

In the end of eighty-nine

Happy new year Happy new year

May we all have a vision now and then

Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

Happy new year Happy new year

May we all have our hopes, our will to try

If we don`t we might as well lay down and die

You and I
