Lyrics
One minute to midnight
One minute to go
One minute to say “goodbye”
Before we say “hello”
Chorus
Let’s start the new year right
Twelve o’clock tonight
When they dim the light let’s begin
Kissing the old year out
Kissing the new year in
Let’s watch the old year die
With a fond “goodbye”
And our hopes as high as a kite
How can our love go wrong
If we start the new year right
