[Verse 1] Snow falls soft on frozen ground, Bells are chiming, all around. Laughter echoes in the air, But all I feel is cold despair. [Chorus] New Year's Eve, can you believe? You chose this day, to up and leave. How can I face tomorrow's light, Without you holding me so tight? [Verse 2] Balalaika weeps a mournful tune, Beneath the pale and silent moon. Vodka burns, but offers no release, From this crushing, aching, inner peace. [Chorus] New Year's Eve, can you believe? You chose this day, to up and leave. How can I face tomorrow's light, Without you holding me so tight? [Bridge] Each snowflake whispers your sweet name, A cruel reminder of the flame, That burned so bright, now turned to ash, A love story, gone in a flash. [Chorus] New Year's Eve, can you believe? You chose this day, to up and leave. How can I face tomorrow's light, Without you holding me so tight? [Outro] Tik-tok, tik-tok, the clock strikes twelve, A New Year's wish, lost to myself. [End]
