I once went to Scotland, and there I did meet,
a beautiful lady, who was really quite sweet...

My Darling I wish you a Happy New Year,
oh how I wish that you had been here...

As darkness falls and the stars appear
I close my eyes and dream of you, my dear...

My name for you is beautiful
And my love, to me you are...

Today is your birthday and I'm sorry to report,
I have sent neither present nor card nor lovely...

I made a mistake, that I know
I thought we were ok, but apparently no...

Today is your birthday and I'm sorry to report,
I have sent neither present nor card nor lovely...

My name for you is beautiful
And my love, to me you are...

As darkness falls and the stars appear
I close my eyes and dream of you, my dear...

My Darling I wish you a Happy New Year,
oh how I wish that you had been here...
