Video produced by: Lasse Hallström Lyrics:
No more champagne
and the fireworks are through
here we are, me and you
feeling lost and feeling blue
it’s the end of the party
and the morning seems so grey
so unlike yesterday
now’s the time for us to say
Happy new year
happy new year
may we all have a vision
now and then
of a world where
every neighbour is a friend
happy new year
happy new year
may we all have
our hopes
our will to try
if we don’t
we might as well
lay down and die
you and I
Sometimes I see
how the brave new world arrives
and I see how it thrives
in the ashes of our lives
oh yes, man is a fool
and he thinks he’ll be okay
dragging on feet of clay
never knowing he’s astray
keeps on going anyway
Happy new year
happy new year
may we all have a vision
now and then
of a world where
every neighbour is a friend
happy new year
happy new year
may we all have
our hopes
our will to try
if we don’t
we might as well
lay down and die
you and I
Seems to me
now that the dreams
we had before
are all dead,
nothing more
than confetti
on the floor
it’s the end
of a decade
in another ten years time
who can say
what we’ll find
what lies waiting down
the line in the end
of eighty-nine
Happy new year
happy new year
may we all have a vision
now and then
of a world where
every neighbour is a friend
happy new year
happy new year
may we all have our hopes
our will to try
if we don’t we might as well
lay down and die
you and I
(Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus)
