New Year's Day (Live) - U2

If I had to die tonight, I'd like to think we'd be alright What a life man, what a life From the cradle to the grave, our screaming echos will remain What a life man, when you're strange Did you learn to ride the pain, like tears in the rain? Was your world insane, did you take aim? Happy days are here again, if we can't be lovers let's be friends I just called to say, "Happy New Year's Day" Don't know what we're fighting for, but I can't do it any more I just called to say, "Happy New Year's Day" You're out of sight not out of mind, if I could pause or rewind I'd rewind man, I'd rewind When I die, I'll die laughing don't cry 'Cause it's over, smile 'cause it happened What a life man, what a life I'm still learning to ride the pain, like a bike through the rain Has anything changed, should I take aim? (Fire) Happy days are here again, if we can't be lovers let's be friends I just called to say, "Happy New Year's Day" Don't know what we're fighting for, but I can't do it any more I just called to say, "Happy New Year's Day" Ohh, it's an energy Ooh, the memories I hope you remember me and be happy Ohh, it's an energy Ooh, the memories I hope you remember me and be happy Happy, happy Happy, happy Happy, happy Happy New Year's day Happy days are here again, if we can't be lovers let's be friends I just called to say, "Happy New Year's Day" Don't know what we're fighting for, but I can't do it any more I just called to say, "Happy New Year's Day" Happy days are here again, if we can't be lovers let's be friends I just called to say, "Happy New Year's Day" Don't know what we're fighting for, but I can't do it any more I just called to say, "Happy New Year's Day"

The midnight bells are ringing A ship is setting sail A newborn baby's crying As lovers say farewell I'm singing hallelujah Amen, the angels say Let's hope tomorrow finds us It's new year's day Let's toast to new beginnings Raise up a glass and say For all of our tomorrows And what was yesterday I'm singing carpe diem I'm saying seize the day Come on, let's live forever It's new year's day Where does the time go Just watch the wind blow Sha la la la It's new year's day Green does the grass grow Outside my window Sha la la la It's new year's day This message in a bottle The wisdom of the wine It's just a rainy Monday This isn't Auld Lang Syne I'm singing hallelujah Amen, the angels say Let's pray tomorrow finds us It's new year's day
