1, 2 take a deep breath and go
As I see you walk in the door
I propose that we kiss when the new year hits
And your smile tells me you're on board
And it's an 8, 7, 6, 5
I've gotta say I gave it a try
4, 3, 2, 1
Oh...You're gone
I hear an optimist calling
And baby, it sounds like they're calling your name
With a little bit of hope that they wish they could revoke
'Cause they didn't want to play this game
You smile and wink at me sweetly
And with a wave you turn and leave our tryst
And I'm standing all alone under midnight's chaperone
Thinking of you and our stolen kiss
One year later, let's try again
'Cause I know you're here on your own
Let's start from the spot where we last left off
And see if your heart has grown
And it's an 8, 7, 6, 5
I've gotta say I gave it a try
4, 3, 2, 1
Oh...Now I'm gone
I hear an optimist calling
And baby, it sounds like they're calling your name
With a little bit of hope that they wish they could revoke
'Cause they didn't want to play this game
I smile and wink at you sweetly
And with a wave I turn and leave our tryst
And you're standing all alone under midnight's chaperone
Thinking of me and our stolen kiss
New Years please
I don't want to freeze
Heat my heart up with
My stolen kiss
I hear an optimist calling
And baby, it sounds like they're calling your name
With a little bit of hope that they wish they could revoke
'Cause they didn't want to play this game
You turn and slip me your number
That's on a napkin with a lipstick kiss
It seems like fate has turned around; who knows what else might abound
On a year that finally starts like this
