New Year Lyrics - Regina Spektor

She sets her alarm 

Five minutes to midnight 

And wakes just in time 

To greet the new year 

Remembers the kisses 

Remembers the laughter 

And all thats gone away 

She shuffles around 

Turning the lights on 

Goes to the kitchen 

Gets the champagne 

Opens the window 

And wrapped in a blanket 

Begins to count and wait 

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 

Happy new year 

Happy new year

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

They say you can hear it 

Over the island 

Starting in Times Square 

And spreading throughout 

A roar like the ocean 

It comes from a distance 

Grows louder then turns quiet 

She sits in a dream 

Or in a memory 

While old convernations 

Play in her ears 

Sometimes the minutes 

Feel longer than hours 

Some days feel long as years 

Photos 

Shes just glad she gets to be around 

To see a nother spring come to this town 

Happy new year 

Happy new year 

To you 

She sets her alarm 

Five minutes to midnight 

And wakes just in time 

To say her goodbyes 

Thanking the old year 

For all it has brought her 

No mention of the things it took away 

She shuffles around 

Turning the lights out 

Closes the window 

Checks on the locks 

Folds up the blanket 

Empties the bottle 

And leaves it in the hallway dark 

She's just glad she gets to be around 

To see another spring come to this town 

Happy New Year x6 

To you 

Happy new year x6 

To you
