Lyrics

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Ah but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year

Ahhhhhh…..the dreamy, jazz music intro and then Harry’s rich voice that saunters effortlessly into this arrangement, is musical perfection.

This song dares you to slow down and drink it in…

New Year's Eve Traditions

• Ancient Roots: New Year festivals are ancient, with Babylonians celebrating around 2000 BCE.

• Kissing at Midnight: A superstition from ancient times for good luck in love.

• The Ball Drop: Inspired by England's 1830s Time Ball, Adoph Ochs started the Times Square ball drop in 1907.

• Food & Superstitions: Eating black-eyed peas or greens for prosperity, avoiding sweeping on New Year's Day to keep luck. 

  Why It's Romantic

  • Fresh Start: New Year's symbolizes new beginnings, making it a perfect time to renew vows, set goals, and reaffirm love.

  • Tradition: Participating in rituals like the midnight kiss strengthens bonds and creates shared memories.

  • Focus on Connection: It's an opportunity to step away from daily routines and focus on your partner, whether through grand gestures or quiet moments.
