January sky like a slate wiped clean

another last chance lives from today

day into night, night into day

holding on tight, millions all hoping

something like love will light up the way

dying for change, but the feeling won't last

summer will come and be over too fast

grow into sun, fade into rain
B A E
a miniature life to live over again
[Chorus]

happy new year - the world just keeps going
A E
tumbling round, screaming through space

holding on tight, millions all hoping

here when the light is pale and uncertain
