| Next Year (I Will Promise You) Music & Lyrics by Paula Beth Chafetz Snyder copyright ©2007 by Paula Chafetz Snydeer ASCAP 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 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. 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... 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. 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. And you'll be by my side. Yes, I'll be by your side. |
