Lyrics

  1. The pain will come back tomorrow
    But I want to forget tonight
    So for old time’s sake, won’t you still the ache
    And bring back love’s sunshine so bright?

Chorus
For the sake of “Auld Lang Syne”
Take me in your arms again
While my heart pretends, we’re the same old friends
And forgets for a while its pain
Only kiss me, and I’ll remember
Once again for a moment you’re mine
If once more you’ll be, what you were to me
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne

  1. If memories no longer thrill you
    And your heart has forgotten all
    Then because I care, give me just one share
    Of happiness I can recall
