About
Hot pop country love song about starting a New Year with the one that's loved
Lyrics
Intro
Old year fading slow, standing side by side
Dreams full of promise we never could hide
Street corners shining, hearts open and wide
Breath turning silver beneath winter’s sky
Verse 0
Quiet resolutions we scribbled and shared
Nervous and laughing, December-chilled air
I watched you shiver, I pulled you in close
Started that moment, the year I wanted most
Verse 1
Stepped out in the cold with my hopes packed high
Snow in the streetlights, a glimmer in your eye
Counting down moments, hearts pounding so fast
Ready for changes, letting go of the past
Pre-Chorus
You laughed through the crowd, spun me into the night
Hands warmed with promise, holding on tight
All that we wanted, we found on this street
Just you beside me, my year feels complete
Chorus
Hey baby we met last year at midnight’s call
Both wishing on the world as the fireworks fall
You give me a reason as the Crystal ball drops down
Will you be mine as we spin this New Year ‘round?
(together, bright new year)
Post-Chorus
Oh, bright new year
Oh, bright new year
Verse 2
It’s been twelve months of mornings waking next to you
Love notes on the mirror, big dreams coming true
Champagne on my lips, your hand holding mine
Here's to tomorrow—our hearts intertwine
Pre-Chorus
And the city’s alive but it fades in our eyes
When your laughter fills up my mind
A thousand confettis all caught in your hair
Every wish I once wanted is here
Chorus
Hey baby we met last year at midnight’s call
Both wishing on the world as the fireworks fall
You give me a reason as the Crystal ball drops down
Will you be mine as we spin this New Year ‘round?
(together, bright new year)
Post-Chorus
Oh, bright new year
Oh, bright new year
Bridge
Golden streetlights and car horns ring out
We dance along sidewalks, no cares and no doubts
I can’t help but wonder what this year will hold
With you beside me, I’m brave and bold
Verse 3
Snowflakes swirling soft in the evening’s chill
Arm in arm, heading home, time standing still
Stories we’re making, no need for parade
Just your old leather jacket and slow serenade
Chorus
Hey baby we met last year at midnight’s call
Both wishing on the world as the fireworks fall
You give me a reason as the Crystal ball drops down
Will you be mine as we spin this New Year ‘round?
(together, bright new year)
Post-Chorus
Oh, bright new year
Oh, bright new year
