The Perfect Year (Sunset Boulevard)

Ring out the old, ring in the new
A midnight wish to share with you
Your lips are warm, my head is light
Were we alive before tonight?

I don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything I want is here
If you're with me, next year will be
The perfect year

Before we play some dangerous game
Before we fan some harmless flame
We have to ask if this is wise
And if the game is worth the prize

With this wine and with this music
How can anything be clear?
Let's wait and see, it may just be
The perfect year

It's New Year's Eve, and hopes are high
Dance one year in, kiss one goodbye
Another chance, another start
So many dreams to tease the heart

We don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything we want is here
And face to face, we will embrace
The perfect year

We don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything we want is here
And face to face, we will embrace
The perfect year
