Hope In My Eyes

1.

A sweet, gold cherub spreads his wings;

new hope and joy, the gifts he brings;

my sobs shall cease; my soul shall sing;

a new chance give to everything.

bridge:

I will smile back at the rising sun

say history has rebegun;

a new blank slate is all I see;

who knows what fate has planned for me.

Chorus:

Fairwell, forgotten forlorn year.

I've felt my fill of your falling tears.

Time's newborn child is finally here.

His golden smile, I'll greet with cheer.

Goodbye my grief, so grey and grim.

Through no more tears shall my soul swim.

A bright new sun begins to rise.

I'll meet it with hope in my eyes.

2.

The nights stardust is swept away

and with it tears wiped from my face.

The rising sun spreads wide its rays.

"Cheer up" a New Year songbird says.

bridge:

I will smile back at the rising sun

say history has rebegun;

a new blank slate is all I see;

who knows what fate has planned for me.

Chorus:

Fairwell, forgotten forlorn year.

I've felt my fill of your falling tears.

Time's newborn child is finally here.

His golden smile, I'll greet with cheer.

Goodbye my grief, so grey and grim.

Through no more tears shall my soul swim.

A bright new sun begins to rise.

I'll meet it with hope in my eyes.
