Happy New Year

(Verse 1 - Soft Acoustic Guitar & Celeste Intro) Another year is fading fast, Like shadows dancing in the past. We gather close, a fire's glow, Reflecting dreams we long to know. The air is crisp, the stars ignite, A promise whispered in the night. (Chorus - Vocals start, light percussion joins) Happy New Year, whispered low, Let the hopes we hold begin to grow. Let the burdens softly fade away, And brighter skies begin to play. Happy New Year, to the unknown, May kindness bloom and seeds be sown. (Verse 2 - Piano joins the arrangement) We raise a glass to yesterday, For lessons learned along the way. The laughter shared, the tears we cried, Now memories that we hold inside. We learned to bend, we learned to rise, With hope reflected in our eyes. (Chorus - Vocals become stronger, strings enter) Happy New Year, sung with glee, To possibilities for you and me. Let the burdens softly fade away, And brighter skies begin to play. Happy New Year, to the unknown, May kindness bloom and seeds be sown. (Bridge - Instrumental - Slow build with strings and brass) (A feeling of anticipation and hope, building to a crescendo) (Chorus - Full Orchestra - Powerful and emotional) Happy New Year, shouted loud, Embrace the future, break the cloud! Let the burdens softly fade away, And brighter skies begin to play. Happy New Year, to the unknown, May kindness bloom and seeds be sown! (Outro - Music fades, leaving only Celeste and a single string note) Happy New Year... Happy New Year... (Celeste ends without a fade-out)
