DREAMING OF A NEW YEAR

January thaw, the warmth of the sun
will fill my heart with joy so profound
that I will be out dancing in the street,
my feet will never touch the ground!

Springtime will be on its way again,
flowers will begin to grow and bloom.
I will be singing songs of my true love
for springtime cannot come too soon.

On St. Patrick's Day I will wear green,
on Easter I will hunt for golden eggs.
I'll dig out my old t-shirts and shorts
I don't care if someone sees my legs!

I'll celebrate my coming birthday in style
and never count the candles on my cake.
I'll go to the beach and run in the sand
at the ocean, this I dream before I wake!

Yes, I am dreaming of a new year ahead
while the snow is piled high 'round my door.
Dreams like these are to be cherished, so
I'll go back to sleep and dream some more!
