Happy New Year!
A few years ago I co-wrote a musical. I thought I would share the lyrics from the song that the characters sang on New Year's. It seemed appropriate:
FROM THE FIRST TO THE LAST,/
TO THE FUTURE FROM THE PAST./
LEAVE BEHIND WHAT HAS BEEN,/
AND LET US BEGIN AGAIN.
START OVER AS A NEW YEAR BEGINS./
START OVER AS THE HAND OF TIME SPINS./
START OVER, WAIT AND YOU’LL SEE./
START OVER, AND SEE WHO YOU’LL BE.
COME ONE AND COME ALL!/
LET US ALL HAVE A BALL!/
AS THE NEW YEAR NOW DAWNS,/
LET BYGONES BE GONE.
FROM ALL MY MISTAKES...
FROM ALL MY TOUGH BREAKS...
FROM EACH FAILED ROMANCE...
FROM EACH UNASKED DANCE...
FROM BEING YOUNG OR BEING OLD/
FROM BEING SHY OR BEING BOLD/
FROM BEING FAST OR BEING SLOW/
IT’S TIME TO NOW GO AND
START OVER AS A NEW YEAR BEGINS./
START OVER AS THE HAND OF TIME SPINS./
START OVER, WAIT AND YOU’LL SEE/
START OVER, AND SEE WHO YOU’LL BE.
