The beginning and the end
Bathe streets in glittery gold
Thousands of frigid hands,
Warmed by hearts in the freezing cold
There is laughter and joy
Decorated in balloons and confetti
The world is in an uproar
And time is almost ready
And now finally
The year begins to die
We hold each other tight,
Trying not to cry
As we say our goodbyes
We think of all that we’ve done
The love and the pain
And the bright future to come
A new life awaits us
As we depart from an old home
We look into each other’s eyes
And shut the door in three… two…
