The year departs, with silent tread,
And leaves behind its memories,
Of joys we've shared, and tears we've shed,
Beneath life's changing skies.
And leaves behind its memories,
Of joys we've shared, and tears we've shed,
Beneath life's changing skies.
But as it fades, a new year dawns,
With promise fresh and bright,
And hope within our hearts is born,
To guide us with its light.
With promise fresh and bright,
And hope within our hearts is born,
To guide us with its light.
