Aaron F. Benjamin - Happy New Year! Lyrics

I am watching you, Manhattan
And your lights that never darken
I am watching you, Manhattan
Are you watching over me

Did we get the things we longed for
Did we reach where we set out for
Are we at the destination
Is this what was meant to be

Happy new year, happy new year
As the rubber hits the road
All the chemical reactions
Are threatening to explode

Happy new year, happy new year
Let the old one turn to dust
Won't you give us strength of purpose
Help us do the things we must

I am sitting on a sun porch
And I'm looking out the window
I am sitting on a sun porch
Wondering how to disappear

And I ask you, was it worth it
All those ideals, all that upset
Was it worth it, was it worth it
We are learning to survive this

Happy new year, happy new year
As the rubber hits the road
Maybe all the things that you have lost
Just served to lighten up your load

Happy new year, happy new year
Let the old one turn to dust
Give us strength and give us purpose
Let us do the things we must
