I'll wear the jewels you gave me round my neck tonight
Though I know you won't be there
I'll wear them in a gold chain that catches in the light
Though I know of course you won't appear

And I'll leave the party early after a drink or two
And I'll check my phone for calls
Though I know there will be none
From you, from you

And I'll walk home with snow falling
Deep on frozen lawns
And I'll leave all those others celebrating
All the things that they have done

I'll come over to your office and watch them come and go
Though I know I won't see you there
And I'll take a train down to the coast and sit and watch the sea
I'll be sitting there alone

And as usual, above all things
I'll miss you every day without pause
Happy new year my darling
Happy new year

And I'll walk home with snow falling
Deep on frozen lawns
And I'll leave all those others celebrating
All the things that they have done

Happy new year my darling
Happy new year
And I'll leave
Happy new year my darling
Happy new year
And I'll leave
Happy new year my darling
Happy new year
And I'll leave
Happy new year my darling
Happy new year
And I'll leave
Leave
