One of two vocals on the album, this track also features a gorgeous alto solo.
lyrics
It’s the New Year
And it’s time to put away my sorrows
Just like you used to say
I’ll save them for a rainy day
I’ll put on a smile for tomorrow
I’ll show you how strong I can be
And whether it works
We’ll just have to wait and see
It’s the New Year
Am I cleaning up the wrong apartment
You lived here for so long
It echoes with a lonely song
Last night I was dreaming two lovers
Left love and the old year behind
You can call me sometime
If you are so inclined
