New Year's Song Lyrics - Blood Oranges In The Snow - Over The Rhine

Here's a little New Year's song 

Don't worry it won't take too long 

Just a bit of New Year's cheer 

To say I'm glad you're here 

Little leftover Christmas tree 

Just big enough for you and me 

With just a single strand of lights 

To tease the stars outside 

And we thought perhaps we'd see some friends 

But as the old year slowly ends 

The dogs are dreaming in their beds 

We might stay home instead 

Here's a little New Year's song 

Don't worry it won't take too long 

Just a quiet New Year's eve 

There's somethin' up your sleeve 

And I might gently take your wrist 

Read your body like a Christmas list 

The first night that the New Year brings 

I wouldn't wanna miss a thing 

Let's stay home and play old records 

Our future's bright our past is checkered 

What do you say we lift a glass 

Toast the ghost of another year past 

Just a little New Year's song 

Happy New Year everyone 

It came upon a midnight clear 

Another brand new year 

New mercy comes with every morning 

The unexpected with no warning 

For loved ones who've gone on before 

Sing me Auld Lang Syne 

New mercy comes with every morning 

The unexpected with no warning 

Let the dear ones you love know 

You'll miss them when you go
