Of course, I missed singing it this year. We did not have plans for New Year's Eve because Brad was on call. Like clockwork, he was called in at 10:00 pm and did not get home until after midnight. I fell asleep on the couch with Waylon, and missed the ball drop. Oh well, there is always next year!
Auld Lang Syne (English translation - Old Long Ago)
Scottish Poem, written by Robert Burns, 1788
Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot, and old times since?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.
And surely you'll buy your pint cup!
And surely I'll buy mine!
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet, for auld land syne.
CHORUS
We two have run about the slopes, and picked the daisies fine;
But we've wandered many a weary foot, since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have paddled in the stream, from morning sun till dine;
But seas between us broad have roared since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
And there's a hand my trusty friend!
And give us a hand o' thine!
And we'll take a right good-will draught, for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
