I’ll wear the jewels you gave me round my neck tonight Though I know you won’t be there I’ll wear them in a gold chain that catches in the light Though I know of course you won’t appear
I’ll leave the party early after a drink or two And I’ll check my phone for calls Though I know there will be none from you
I’ll walk home with snow falling Deep on frozen lawns And I’ll leave all those others celebrating All the things that they have done
I’ll come over to your office and watch them come and go Though I know I won’t see you there And I’ll take a train down to the coast And sit and watch the sea I’ll be sitting there alone
As usual, above all things I miss you every day Without pause Happy new year my darling Happy new year
I’ll walk home with snow falling Deep on frozen lawns And I’ll leave all those others celebrating All the things that they have done
Happy new year my darling Happy new year And I’ll leave, leave
