Another year has passed by me and so much different then the last  
ever since this Covid March I have been living out my house arrest  
no outward smiles to show my love, no hugs no squeezes for my kids
like a Citizen of good I understood but yes, I almost flipped my lid

with every day that passes by I dream of yesterday's good chide
though nature walks and social talks are good, I have been tried  
heart and soul I miss my family and friends, this is my prayer  
that the New Year will arrive, and be our dragon slayer ...

Another year another Auld Lang Syne, I'm longing for the wine
an open sign that says yes come in, restaurants where I can dine
a shopping mall, a dancing hall, filled up buses with a kiss n' ride  
maskless faces in a world of wander, with happy people at my side

Another year has passed me by, and I'm waiting, by and by...
