New Year's Eve
The birds have all gone south
Leaving a bitter taste in my mouth
December's always been so dreary
Glad it's only two more months 'til the end of February
And the first girl that I wrote a song about
Well, she is married now
And I feel older than I have ever felt
Another year of falling down and getting back up again under my belt
And I can say
That I've finally learned to play
The best game that I can with the cards that I've been dealt
Your father took his life
Leaving you behind at 25
December's never looked more dreary
Can't find a silver lining at the end of February
But take a look at daddy's grown up girl now
I bet, you'll figure it out somehow
And I feel older than I have ever felt
Another year of falling down and getting back up again under my belt
And I can say
That I've finally learned to play
The best game that I can with the cards that I've been dealt
And I feel older than I have ever felt
Another year of falling down and getting back up again under my belt
And I can say
That I've finally learned to play
The best game that I can with the cards that I've been dealt
Leaving a bitter taste in my mouth
December's always been so dreary
Glad it's only two more months 'til the end of February
And the first girl that I wrote a song about
Well, she is married now
And I feel older than I have ever felt
Another year of falling down and getting back up again under my belt
And I can say
That I've finally learned to play
The best game that I can with the cards that I've been dealt
Your father took his life
Leaving you behind at 25
December's never looked more dreary
Can't find a silver lining at the end of February
But take a look at daddy's grown up girl now
I bet, you'll figure it out somehow
And I feel older than I have ever felt
Another year of falling down and getting back up again under my belt
And I can say
That I've finally learned to play
The best game that I can with the cards that I've been dealt
And I feel older than I have ever felt
Another year of falling down and getting back up again under my belt
And I can say
That I've finally learned to play
The best game that I can with the cards that I've been dealt
