Another year has gone by
But while having fun we hardly noticed
Each of us has grown a little bit
We plan to grow a little bit more
We stop for a moment
When the clock strikes eleven
We meant twelve
At the midnight mark
When the ball begins to drop
To shout Hurray for 2017
And wish you the very best
That the new year can bring
We hope the toys will multiply
The fun will spread
The sun will always be warm
The earth will provide
Love will heal all hurts
Challenges will be overcome
Justice will prevail
Kisses never end
Families will hold reunions
Friends will get together
We promise to be good
Even when changes happen
Have a wonderful
Absolutely wonderful New Year
