Ill wear the jewels you gave me round my neck tonight

Though I know you wont be there

Ill wear them in a gold chain that catches in the light

Though I know of course you wont appear Ill leave the party early after a drink or two

And Ill check my phone for calls

Though I know there will be none from you Ill walk home with snow falling

Deep on frozen lawns

And Ill leave all those others celebrating

All the things that they have done Ill come over to your office and watch them come and go

Though I know I wont see you there

And Ill take a train down to the coast and sit and watch the sea

Ill be sitting there alone As usual, above all things I miss you every day

Without pause

Happy new year my darling

Happy new year Ill walk home with snow falling

Deep on frozen lawns

And Ill leave all those others celebrating

All the things that they have done Happy new year my darling

Happy new year

And Ill leave, leave
