George Jones
Nothin’ New for New Year
[Verse 1: Harry Connick, Jr.]
I see my own reflection in the window
I hear the people carryin' on below
I know the one I love is out there somewhere
To me that somewhere's not that far to go
[Verse 2: George Jones]
Every year I make my resolution
To find my love and make her all my own
But it looks like she decided not to show again
And I'll be singing Auld Lang Syne alone
[Verse 3: Harry Connick, Jr. & George Jones]
People grow accustomed to their lifestyles
It's easier to settle in your ways
I wish that I had someone to get used to
To settle down until my dying days
[Chorus: Harry Connick, Jr., George Jones & Both]
Nothin' new for new year for me
Nothin' new for new year for me
All I wanted was an angel that I don't expect to see
Nothin' new for new year for me
[Bridge: Harry Connick, Jr. & George Jones]
Well, it don't mean nothing if you're crying all the time
When there's no one there to see your tears
And it don't mean nothing if you're passing up your prime
And I been passing mine for years
[Verse 4: Harry Connick, Jr. & George Jones]
And so, to my reflection in the window
I'll raise my glass and make a toast to you
I've never known a man to be heartbroken
By someone that he never even knew
[Chorus: Harry Connick, Jr., George Jones & Both]
Nothin' new for new year for me
Nothin' new for new year for me
All I wanted was an angel that I don't expect to see
Nothin' new for new year for me
