On Wikipedia is written:
"Happy New Year" is a popular
song by Swedish pop group ABBA from their 1980 album Super Trouper. The lead
vocals are by Agnetha Fältskog. The song's working title was all the more
festive and humorous; "Daddy Don't Get Drunk on Christmas Day".
Although recorded in 1980, the English-language song wasn't released as a
single until 1999 and charted in Sweden
(#4), The Netherlands (#8), and Germany
(#75), to promote the CD re-release of many of ABBA's singles.
"May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If
we don't we might as well lay down and die"
Please read the lyrics
Happy New Year
lyrics
No more champagne
And
the fireworks are through
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's
the end of the party
And
the morning seems so grey
So
unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...
Happy new year
Happy new year
May
we all have a vision now and then
Of a
world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May
we all have our hopes, our will to try
If
we don't we might as well lay down and die
Sometimes I see
How
the brave new world arrives
And
I see how it thrives
In
the ashes of our lives
Oh
yes, man is a fool
And
he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...
Happy new year
Happy new year
May
we all have a vision now and then
Of a
world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May
we all have our hopes, our will to try
You
and I
Seems to me now
That
the dreams we had before
Are
all dead, nothing more
Than
confetti on the floor
It's
the end of a decade
In
another ten years time
Who
can say what we'll find
What
lies waiting down the line
In
the end of eighty-nine... (or in 2014)
Happy new year
Happy new year
May
we all have a vision now and then
Of a
world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May
we all have our hopes, our will to try
If
we don't we might as well lay down and die
You
and I
