Before you flip your calendar 
To start a New Year bright,
Reflect for just a moment on 
The year that ends tonight.

Each joy and every heartache 
Has been etched into your heart,
But in a few short hours you 
May make a brand new start.
 

As you review the days and weeks 
That simply seemed to fly,
Would you say fortune smiled on you 
Or did she pass you by?

Since it's not wise to dwell upon 
Those days that made you cry,
The thing to do is set your sights 
And aim right at the sky.
 

Forget those tears and sorrow 
As you bid the old, "Adieu,"
And welcome in the New Year,
It's dawning ... just for You !
