A passing lyric

The new year

Gather round 

with family and friends 

to count down the minutes 

til another year ends

out with the old 

and in with the new

cheers all round 

with a drink or two 

ten seconds left 

til the bells start to ring 

we\'ll all circle round 

and we\'ll all start to sing 

for auld Lang syne 

my dear 

for auld Lang syne 

we cheer 

ten nine eight 

no more time to wait

seven six five 

thank god that you\'re alive

four three two 

the old year is through 

and when midnight strikes 

we all shed a tear 

the cannon ignites 

for the new year is here.
