about

Thanks to Robert Burns for writing this poem! "Auld Lang Syne" is not written by me!

lyrics

Should auld acquaintance be forgot For auld lang syne, my dear,
And never brought to mind? For auld lang syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot We’ll tak a cup o' kindness yet
And days o’ lang syne. For auld lang syne.)


As much as I’d love to swear we’ll always be together
Obviously you know that I can’t.
No matter how much I say why I love you,
I don’t have a clue, please understand.

Some friends lost in youth, some others lost in time,
The best ones are the strangest when alive.
In my life, my wonderful life,
At least I know I got some tonight.

And it’s true that I may not know the future
But I know how this probably will end.
Everything else might be fuzzy but I know
No man’s a failure who has friends.

Well I’m sorry darlin’ that sometimes I’m moody,
But believe me that I’m grateful every day
I wake up beside you
With my bedhead smiles and groggy “I love you”s

Well it’s true that I may not know the future
But I know how this probably will end.
Everything else might be fuzzy but I know
No man’s a failure who has friends.

You’re wonderful! I’m wonderful!

Take my hand as the snow falls
And the bars are making their last calls,
It’s dark enough to know you’re still with me!
Here I am as the snow fades,
I’ll never let my life become an old maid.
