My dear acquaintance, it's so good to know you
For strength of your hand
That is loving and giving
And a happy new year
With love overflowing
With joy in our hearts
For the blessed new year

Raise your glass and we'll have a cheer
For us all who are gathered here
And a happy new year to all that is living
To all that is gentle, kind, and forgiving
Raise your glass and we'll have a cheer
My dear acquaintance, a happy new year

All of those who are hither and yonder
With love in our hearts
We grow fonder and fonder
Hail to those who we hold so dear
And hail to those who are gathered here

And a happy new year to all that is living
To all that is gentle, young, and forgiving
Raise your glass and we'll have a cheer
My dear acquaintance, a happy new year
Happy new year

Suddenly something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry
Do you know you made me die

And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing, the animal
The animal instinct

So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no
They will never make me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt

The animal, the animal,
the animal instinct to me
It's the animal, the animal,
the animal instinct to me
It's the animal, it's the animal,
it's the animal instinct to me 

Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near ?
Just like me,
They long to be close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Everytime you walk by
Just like me,
They long to be close to you

From the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue

Ah, that is why the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me,
They long to be close to you

Just like me,
They long to be close to you
Just like me,
They long to be close to you

From the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue

Ah, that is why the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me,
They long to be close to you

Like me, like me, like me
I wanna be close to you

Woo, Ah, close to you
Woo, me too
I wanna be close to you

Ooh, I wanna be, me too
I wanna be close to you

From the day that you were born
The angels got together
A dream come true
That's you, that's you
And I wanna be close to you
