HAPPY NEW YEAR
(Gordon Jenkins)

Nat King Cole

Also recorded by :
Chris Connor; Judy Garland; Gordon Jenkins.


The snow makes teardrops on my window
The wind blows memories through my hall
And I am all alone on New Year's eve 
The time I need you most of all

The gay ones don their silly paper hats 
And blow their stupid little horns
At midnight they will all be singing Auld Lang Syne 
But the sad ones sit alone before the fire and sip a glass of lonely wine

I wish you a Happy New Year darling 
May your new love be bright and fair
I hope he'll do those special things for you 
That I would do if I were there.

I love the days we spent together
Before the old year lost it's shine
I'll keep that memory locked within my heart
That Happy New Year you were mine
