First Day of the New Year

 Music and Lyric by Dennis Davison

First Day of the New Year

no more leftover Christmas Cheer

What’s ahead is unclear

and what’s behind me in time will disappear

When the calendar turned

we crowed out Auld Lang Syne

Though my heart wasn’t there

I felt that I should try

When the words wouldn’t sound I pantomimed

I thought that I’d bluffed Father Time

If I don’t count the days

the years won’t be unkind

When the words wouldn’t sound I pantomimed

I thought I’d bluffed old Father Time

If I don’t count the days

the years won’t be unkind
