I see my own reflection in the window

I hear the people carry'n on below

I know the one I love is out there somewhere

To me that somewhere's not far to go


Ev'ry year I make my resolution

To find my love and make her all my own

But it looks like she decided not to show again

And I'll be singing 'Auld Lang Syne' alone


People grow accustomed to their lifestyles

It's easier to settle in your ways

I wish that I had someone to get used to

To settle down until my dying days


Nothin' new for new year for me

Nothin' new for new year for me

All I wanted was an angel that I don't expect to see

Nothin' new for new year for me


It don't mean nothing if you're crying all the time

And there's no one there to see your tears

And it don't mean nothing if you're passing up your prime

And I been passing mine for years


And so, to my reflection in the window

I'll raise my glass and make a toast to you

I've never known a man to be heartbroken

My someone that he never even knew


Nothin' new for new year for me

Nothin' new for new year for me

All I wanted was an angel that I don't expect to see

Nothin' new for new year for me
