Final Hours Of The Year

Soon will the hour arrive
When we watch another year
Fade into the past
And see another year
Begin in its place

Memories of the passing year
Cross our minds and fill our hearts
How very sweet and precious
To recall its memorable moments
And how they'll ever live in our hearts

Visions of the coming year
Descend upon our hearts and minds,
Everything we hope to do,
Everything we hope to see
And everything we hope to be

O the many fun and cheerful ways
To lay the old year to rest
And greet the birth of the New Year
What a wonderful time to share
With people we love and cherish

Let us ever remember fondly
The biggest moments
Of the old and fading year
And do our very best
To make the New Year bright
