Soulfully Nostalgic Music with a Modern Flair
Next Year (I Will Promise You)
Music & Lyrics by Paula Beth Chafetz Snyder

r
I stand here alone watching snow flakes fall - Remembering what the
year has brought to us all - Reflecting the good times and some of the
bad - Forgiving, forgetting the bad - 'Cause this year my life started
brand new - And it's all because of you

You stand there alone in the midday sun - Remembering when the last
year had begun - When you had no love, no faith, no life - No motives,
no plans, no future, no wife - But this year your life started brand new.  
- I know I'm in Love with you

(CHORUS) And the Next Year I will promise you - when the countdown
starts  and the minutes left are few - when the old year ends and the
next starts new - I'll be by your side.  Yes, I'll be by your side.

(BRIDGE 1) The fireworks will blaze and the rockets will glare - The
cheering & streamers will spread through the air - And I promise you,
I will still be there - When the New Year comes again.

We are miles apart on this New Years' Eve - I yearned to fly back - but
I just couldn't leave - I mailed you a greeting card every day - So you'd
feel sure I'd soon be back your way. - All this time apart, still our
feelings grew - Next year we'll start together brand new.

Now here we are in the breathless Spring - Looking forward to next
New Year's dream - Things are better than ever they'd seem --
Oh your eyes, and smile, and face, they beam - As we gaze at each
other and become "as one" - You're told, "now you may kiss your
bride" - And we leave together side by side...

(BRIDGE 2) The fireworks are blazing the rockets do glare - The
cheering & streamers resound through the air - And I promise you I
will still be there - When the New Year comes again.
(CHORUS TO END - ...I'll be by your side.  And you'll be by my side.  
Yes, I'll be by your side.)
