Nothin' New For New Year

Harry Connick Jr. · Other Songs - Harry Connick Jr.

I see my own reflection in the window

I hear the people carry'n on below

I know the one I love is out there somewhere

To me that somewhere's not far to go



Ev'ry year I make my resolution

To find my love and make her all my own

But it looks like she decided not to show again

And I'll be singing 'Auld Lang Syne' alone



People grow accustomed to their lifestyles

It's easier to settle in your ways

I wish that I had someone to get used to

To settle down until my dying days



Nothin' new for new year for me

Nothin' new for new year for me

All I wanted was an angel that I don't expect to see

Nothin' new for new year for me



It don't mean nothing if you're crying all the time

And there's no one there to see your tears

And it don't mean nothing if you're passing up your prime

And I been passing mine for years



And so, to my reflection in the window

I'll raise my glass and make a toast to you

I've never known a man to be heartbroken

My someone that he never even knew



Nothin' new for new year for me

Nothin' new for new year for me

All I wanted was an angel that I don't expect to see

Nothin' new for new year for me
