Song for new year's

song for new years

Lyrics

new year's we're sometimes in pairs
we're sometimes in crowds
sometimes we're all alone

we remember what's past
commitments we've kept
and ones we have broken

and then the term expires
a new compact drawn

let's commit ourselves
and toast to our heath
and bid our farewell to two thousand eight

Songwriter Notes

Wrote this song this morning and recorded it on my phone. Not sure what I think about the last line. I'd like to use this song after 2008, but I suppose it's easy enough to insert a different year. I'd like to have a kind of count down section over the chorus part reaching zero at the end of the line "and then the term expires". I think it works if you start at five and count every two beats. I think this one leaves me five songs away from my goal of 36 songs this year. . .Conorl 08:55, 13 December 2008 (PST)
