New Year's Eve

I came down the stairs

And saw you standing there

Looking across the crowded room

And crying running your fingers

Through your hair.

And Auld Lang Syne was playing

People singing sorrow

From the year that has gone.

And I'm still fooling myself

I keep holding on.

There were so many nights

When we lay as close as thieves.

Lying on the bed together laughing

I'd feel your breath upon my cheek.

But it all comes down to this

One look into your eyes

Tells me something has gone.

I must be out of my mind.

I keep holding on.

All my life I've known

Things must change

Find a way of their own.

History rolls along so slow.

We never notice where it's going.

I go out at night

To waste a little time.

People ask me how I'm doing now

I say I'm doing fine.

But Auld Lang Syne will ring

As people sing the sorrows

From the years that linger on.

Will I still be fooling myself.

Will I still be fooling myself.

Will I still be fooling myself

Still be holding on.
