I caught my reflection alone in a stream 'Cause a puddles a portrait for a man on his knees And I measure the time in empty bottles of wine I retrace all the days to find what I lost And I hope you get your way everyday This January, my baby Oh, happy new year I love you I love you I love you The curtain is drenched from the rain that's outside And the inside is freezing with the glass open wide And I've tried but I won't shut you out I unlace all the ties that had kept me away And I hold onto pictures as I watch them fade And I've seen this January, you'll replace me Happy new year I love you I love you I love you Happy new year I love you I love you I love you I held your attention for a fleeting dream Your summer affection now hangs with the trees And I measure my life with the ones I leave behind Another sullen soul obsessed with something You said was meaningless And I guess this January, we'll put it to rest Happy new year I love you I love you I love you Happy new year I love you I love you I love you
