ABBAHappy New Year

no more champagne
and the fireworks are through
here we are, me and you
feeIing Iost and feeIing bIue
It’s the end of the party
and the morning seems so grey
so unIike yesterday
now’s the time for us to say… happy new year
happy new year
may we aII have a vision now and then
of a worId where every neighbour is a friend
happy new year
happy new year
may we aII have our hopes, our wiII to try
If we don’t we might as weII Iay down and die
you and I sometimes I see
how the brave new worId arrives
and I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our Iives
oh yes, man is a fooI
and he thinks he’II be okay
dragging on, feet of cIay
never knowing he’s astray
keeps on going anyway… happy new year
happy new year
may we aII have a vision now and then
of a worId where every neighbour is a friend
happy new year
happy new year
may we aII have our hopes, our wiII to try
If we don’t we might as weII Iay down and die
you and I seems to me now
that the dreams we had before
are aII dead, nothing more
than confetti on the fIoor
It’s the end of a decade
In another ten years time
who can say what we’II find
what Iies waiting down the Iine
In the end of eighty-nine… happy new year
happy new year
may we aII have a vision now and then
of a worId where every neighbour is a friend
happy new year
happy new year
may we aII have our hopes, our wiII to try
If we don’t we might as weII Iay down and die
you and I
