Auld Lang Syne

"Times Gone By"




Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne?

 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 lang syne.

 We two have run about the slopes, and picked the daisies fine; But we've wandered many a weary foot, since auld lang syne.

 We two have paddled in the stream, from morning sun till dine; But seas between us broad have roared since auld lang syne.

 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.

By: Robert Burns


Happy New Years to all of you, my friends!
In the coming year, may your joys be higher than your sorrows are deep.

    I cry every New Years when I hear that song ( I know right? Shocking)

    I hope your tears fall only in happiness this year Blue Bird.

    Now wrap your arms around yourself and squeeze- tighter. That is my long distance hug to you.

    Love Willie
