Regina Spektor - New Year lyrics

Your rating:

[Verse 1]

She sets her alarm

Five minutes to midnight

And wakes just in time

To greet the new year

Remembers the kisses

Remembers the laughter

And all that's gone away



[Verse 2]

She shuffles around

Turning the lights on

Goes to the kitchen

Gets the champagne

Opens the window

And wrapped in a blanket

Begins to count and wait

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one

[Chorus]

Happy new year, happy new year



[Verse 3]

They say you can hear it

Over the island

Starting in Times Square and spreading throughout

A roar like the ocean

It comes from a distance

Grows louder then turns quiet



[Verse 4]

She sits in a dream

Or in a memory

While old conversations play in her ears

Sometimes the minutes feel longer than hours

Some days feel long as years



[Pre-Chorus]

She just glad she gets to be around

To see another spring come to this town



[Chorus]

Happy new year, happy new year

To you



[Verse 5]

She sets her alarm

Five minutes to midnight

And wakes just in time

To say her goodbyes

Thanking the old year for all it has brought her

No mention of the things it took away



[Verse 6]

She shuffles around

Turning the lights out

Closes the window

Checks on the locks

Folds up the blanket

Empties the bottle

And leaves it in the hallway dark



[Pre-Chorus]

She's just glad she gets to be around

To see another spring come to this town



[Chorus]

Happy new year, happy new year

Happy new year, happy new year

Happy new year, happy new year

To you



Happy new year, happy new year

Happy new year, happy new year



Happy new year, happy new year

To you
