New Years Love

So here we are
Another year gone by
And it's finally time
To flip over that calendar
You bought so many years ago
At the five and dime

  You remember, don't you?
  Hand in hand, laughing and yelling
  We ran to the harbor light
  Our shelter from the rain
  Lost in the comfortable arms of
  A lover in the night

Born on the Fourth of July?
Birthday Parties, Valentine's Day
How to compare to the promise of
The hope that springs eternal
Surely probable, surreally possible
To a couple in New Years Love
