A Lonely New Years Eve Lyrics

New Years Eve and I walk downtown

It's the same old thing every single year

Friends and family all gather around for the great countdown but this time you're not here

We had that big fight on Saturday night

It's shame we couldn't work things out this time

"December blues, don't come at me again"

I whisper as I take down the Christmas lights

On Christmas Eve we went caroling

Your stomach hurt 'cause you ate too much pie

And we spent Christmas Day together

You were right there by my side

But now you're out painting the town, when you should be here with me

I guess this year I'm gonna have a lonely New Years Eve

It's been tradition for several years

Pick me up at seven every 31st

And it's been like this for so long

So when you called me up you know it really hurt to hear you say that this year things were gonna change

Please, not today

Why can't you stay

I never wanted things to end this way

On Christmas Eve we went caroling

Your stomach hurt 'cause you ate too much pie

And we spent Christmas Day together

You were right there by my side

But now you're out painting the town, when you should be here with me

I guess this year I'm gonna have a lonely New Years Eve

And everybody's counting down

And I can't help but look around and search for your face

I'm so used to seeing you in this place

10 9 8

What happened to the state of grace we used to have

7 6 5

I thought you'd stick by me 'til the end of the line

4 3 2

I thought it'd always be me and you

'Cause on Christmas Eve we went caroling

Your stomach hurt 'cause you ate too much pie

And we spent Christmas Day together

You were right there by my side

But now you're out painting the town, when you should be here with me

I guess this year I'm gonna have a lonely New Years Eve

A lonely New Years Eve
