As we start upon this new year

As we start upon this new year I think of all we’ve seen and done All the memories we hold near and dear All the laughter and all the fun

If there’s one thing I’ve learned A lesson from the very start Each distant day I yearn Wishing we were never apart

Soon we will once again unite And the disease of distance will be remedied Then each day will be bright Filled with making a whole new set of memories
