As the ball dropped and the countdown began
The chances of him appearing was ever so slim,
10, 9, 8, I waited and waited
7, 6, perhaps we really weren't fated.
I hoped with all my heart that wasn't true,
Because all I wanted to be was somebody to you.
But then, 5,4, his familiar face appeared
3, 2, 1, I know now, there's nothing to fear
For our lips crashed and our vision blurred,
Fireworks erupted and New Yorkers cheered
We stayed still and dried our tears,
It really is a happy new year.
