Lyrics Carole King

Carole King

New Year's Day

Everybody makes a dream this time of year

From now on it's gonna be good for you

All your friends and family

Gather 'round in peace and harmony

It's a time to remember your blessings

It's a time to remember your goals

All the people in your life

Be they new friends or old

And it could be the time of your life

Everything's gonna turn out alright

It'll be okay, in every way makin' it better

It's New Year's Day

And should auld acquaintance be forgot

Keep everything they gave you

An' though they may seem so far away

You walk with them each and everyday

And I know sometimes the road isn't easy

And we've said something we'd never wished to say

Once a few rounds you loved and lost

You pick yourself up and take a chance again

And it could be the time of your life

Everything's gonna turn out alright

It'll be okay, in every way makin' it better

It's New Year's Day

Countdown's dawn

And we'll sway along with the band

Just one more dance

May all your dreams come true

And it could be the time of your life

Everything's gonna turn out alright

It'll be okay, in every way makin' it better

It's New Year's Day

New Year's Day
