The Magic Of The New Year Lyrics

At this time of year we all speak the same language

The language of hope and warmth and miracles

Winter is beautiful, snow is gently falling

The streets become magnificent, the new year is calling

Frost covered windows, the coldness brings catharsis

Togetherness and gratitude illuminate the darkness

Hot tea and blankets, fairy tales and mittens

Even old curmudgeons give up grudges and feel smitten

We decorate the tree and feel the magic of its presence

It represents protection of our gifts, man, that's the essence

Of this holiday we celebrate with jubilant excitement

Through the year our soul gets out of shape, it's time for realignment

Anticipation fills the air with joy and hopeful tidings

We almost had forgotten that our lives could shine so brightly

Close ones gather near

Dreams become clear

Love outshines fear

That's the magic of the new year

Smiles from ear to ear

Just happy tears

No worries here

That's the magic of the new year

So many sights and sounds that get us in the mood

Wrapping gifts and listening to our favorite Christmas tunes

The special smells that emphasize the Christmas scene

Like grandma's pumpkin pie and pine needles and tangerines

Our friends and family so close, it's such a special vibe

Every year it makes me grateful that we're all alive

That we can dream our dreams together as we have a blast

Making plans for future schemes and paying homage to the past

Catching snowflakes on our tongues

Laughter blending in with golden bells that have been rung

First steps in newly fallen snow

We see our breath and every cheek contains a rosy glow

Our inner emptiness is getting filled in

Building snowmen, all the grown ups act like children

We take a sleigh ride beneath the silver moon above

Forget the insults and hug the people that you love

'Cause that's the reason that this season means so very much

We get so dizzy with our busyness, we're out of touch

But every year we get reminded of the deepest truth

That love is real and magic lasts beyond our fragile youth

Close ones gather near

Dreams become clear

Love outshines fear

That's the magic of the new year

Smiles from ear to ear

Just happy tears

No worries here

That's the magic of the new year

Close ones gather near

Dreams become clear

Love outshines fear

That's the magic of the new year

Smiles from ear to ear

Just happy tears

No worries here

That's the magic of the new year

In the new year may your deepest dreams and hopes come to fruition

May we all be a little kinder and better

And may there always be a place in your heart for a fairy tale
