Lyrics

Ring out the old, ring in the (D7)new, a mid night (G)wish to share with (C)you.

Your lips are (Am)warm, my head is light, were we a (D7)live be fore to (G)night?

(Dm)I don’t need a (G7)crowd ed (C)ball room,

(Cm)ev ery thing I want is (Em)here,

if you’re with (G)me,

next year will (D7)be

the per fect (G)year.

Be fore we play

some dan gerous (D7)game,

be fore we (G)fan

some harm less (C)flame,

we have to (Am)ask

if this is (Am7)wise,

and if the (D7)game

is worth the prize.

(Dm)With this wine, and (G7)with this (C)mu sic,

(Cm)how can an y thing be (Em)clear?

Let’s wait and (G)see,

it may just (D7)be

the per fect (G)year.

(C7)It’s New Year’s (F)Eve, and hopes are (C7)high, dance one year (F)in, kiss one good (Bb)bye, an oth er (Gm)chance, an oth er (Gm7)start, so man y (C7)dreams to tease the (F)heart.

(F7)We don’t need a crowd ed (Bb)ball room,

(Bbm)ev ery thing we want is (Dm)here,

and face to (F)face

we will em (C7)brace

the per fect (F)year.

(F7)We don’t need a crowd ed (Bb)ball room,

(Bbm)ev ery thing we want is (Dm)here,

and face to (F)face

we will em (C7)brace

the per fect (F)year.
