MILLENNIUM

Say hello to the new millennium
Herald it with horns and many names
Will we celebrate midnight, I wonder
With Roman Candles or with flames?
We'll pay a worthy tribute
To Queen Victoria and King Louis
Toasting to Auld Lang Syne with champagne
Do we stay up talking or do we
    lay down and sleep?
Let's embrace this age with arms wide open
Let's bury the thoughts that have remained unspoken
See the stars shine bright tonight
Where be there shadows for one to hide?
Say hello to the new millennium
Feel its presence both far and deep
Shout to the others that the time has come
We're a part of history - we must keep
    history moving
Say hello to the new millennium
Herald it with horns and many names
Will we celebrate midnight, I wonder
With white orchids and dancing flames?
