[00:12.000]She sets her alarm
[00:14.610]Five minutes to midnight
[00:17.340]And wakes just in time
[00:20.260]To greet the new year
[00:23.480]Remembers the kisses
[00:26.480]Remembers the laughter
[00:29.770]And all that's gone away
[00:35.440]She shuffles around
[00:39.680]Turning the lights on
[00:42.660]Goes to the kitchen
[00:45.760]Gets the champagne
[00:49.200]Opens the window
[00:52.390]And wrapped in a blanket
[00:55.820]Begins to count and wait
[01:02.420]Ten,
[01:04.520]nine,
[01:06.220]eight,
[01:07.980]seven,
[01:09.570]six,
[01:11.140]five,
[01:12.840]four,
[01:14.500]three,
[01:16.130]two,
[01:17.750]one
[01:19.120]Happy new year, happy new year
[01:26.600]
[01:29.990]They say you can hear it
[01:32.900]Over the island
[01:35.460]Starting in Times Square and spreading throughout
[01:40.340]A roar like the ocean
[01:43.560]It comes from a distance
[01:46.910]Grows louder then turns quiet
[01:53.500]She sits in a dream
[01:56.640]Or in a memory
[01:59.570]While old conversations play in her ears
[02:04.710]Sometimes the minutes feel longer than hours
[02:11.440]Some days feel long as years
[02:17.740]She's just glad she gets to be around
[02:29.930]To see another spring come to this town
[02:41.760]Happy new year, happy new year
[02:48.850]To you
[02:55.670]She sets her alarm
[02:58.950]Five minutes to midnight
[03:01.800]And wakes just in time
[03:04.990]To say her goodbyes
[03:08.210]Thanking the old year for all it has brought her
[03:14.500]No mention of the things it took away
[03:21.260]She shuffles around
[03:24.520]Turning the lights out
[03:27.880]Closes the window
[03:31.140]Checks on the locks
[03:34.090]Folds up the blanket
[03:37.420]Empties the bottle
[03:40.840]And leaves it in the hallway dark
[03:47.480]She's just glad she gets to be around
[04:00.740]To see another spring come to this town
[04:12.450]Happy new year, happy new year
[04:19.780]Happy new year, happy new year
[04:26.710]Happy new year, happy new year
[04:32.710]To you
[04:42.190]Happy new year, happy new year
[04:48.400]Happy new year, happy new year
[04:55.620]Happy new year, happy new year
[05:01.770]To you
[05:11.850]
