a long night into the end of the year
it looks like its going to be
winding up the remnants of 2008
with a cold fair well hug
the gladness sings clear
the moments glitter sweet
old songs cast their lyrics
longways
into the street
wintering blessings
regale tales of times since shed
we sing woeful songs of aud langsyne
and drink a toast
to eat with only the future's
freshest loaves of bread
well wishers and revelers alike
call here to fro in merry, splendid delight
the night is still so very young
they chant and cheer
its the year that is old
so come let us hold you near
and dear
sing with us and laugh and be reminiscent
the new year has come
a gift for all
strangely enough
that's why we call
each day new
and that there is no moment ever
like
the present...............................
