It doesn't feel like New Year's Eve
Though fireworks fill the sky in the east
Life does its dance on Earth's spinning stage
But I won't be turning the calendar page
Love was sweet at the start
And I opened my heart
Cause I always believed
There would be a happy ending
Ours was a book that skipped to the end
It was over when you let go of my hand
Sometimes a hook gets caught in the sand, but
Love is sweet at the start
And I opened my heart
Cause I always believed
There would be a happy ending
Why do I go on pretending
There's no time to kill
Soon the hourglass will stop descending
Life runs out and stands still
Is there a happy ending?
Love is sweet at the start
And I opened my heart
Cause I always believed
There would be a happy ending
