Paroles :

All is quiet on New Year's Day

A world in white gets underway

And I want to be with you

Be with you night and day

Nothing changes on New Year's Day

I will be with you again

I will be with you again

Under a blood-red sky

A crowd is gathered in black and white

Arms entwined the chosen few

Newspapers say, it says it's true it's true

And we can break through

Though torn in two we can be one

I will begin again, I will begin again

Oh and maybe the time is right

Oh maybe tonight

I will be with you again

I will be with you again

And so we are told this is the golden age

And gold is the reason for the wars we wage

Though I want to be with you

To be with you night and day

Nothing changes on New Year's day
