Lyrics
You say to me now that you're sorry
And like a fool I think it's true
It's the same old song, with another year gone
Givin' me those old New Year Blues.
I'm so blue and brokenhearted
'Cause you and I were through before we started
I guess it's out with the old man, and in with the new, givin' me those old New Year Blues.
Your gentle whispers, foreshadowed kisses, until we had to say goodnight.
You held me in your arms, but the moment I was gone, you gave away that kiss that was mine.
And now you tell me you still want me.
But you ain't actin' like you do.
Well you can say it seven hundred times but until you prove it's true, I'll be singin' those old New Year Blues.
