On the last day of December
I was searching for someone I knew And the last thing I remember I found myself without you All the side streets down in Denver They were snow packed and waiting for more And I dented my front fender As my car skidded by your front door I don’t know why you chose to leave What will I miss, who will I kiss New Year’s Eve As the city came together To drink in the midnight countdown I could forecast my own weather As teardrops and snowflakes came down On the first day of the new year I’m still searching for someone I knew My resolutions is just having you here I can’t find myself without you Should old acquaintance be forgot And never brought to mind... |
