Auld Lang Syne, New Year’s Eve song (Anita Faye)

What New Year's Eve would be complete without the song "Auld Lang Syne?" In case you're not familiar with the song's meaning, it originated from the Scottish poet, Robert Burns. “Auld” is a Scottish way of saying “old,” and the sentiment is “For Old Time’s Sake.” As you toast the end of the year one last time, you do so for 'old time's sake' because the start of the new year mean's letting go of the past and looking forward to the future.

LYRICS:
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot
In the days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll drink a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
And surely, you will buy your cup
And surely, I'll buy mine!
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
We two who've paddled in the stream
From morning sun 'til night
The seas between us roared and swelled
Since the days of auld lang syne
For old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
For the sake of auld lang syne?
For old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
In the days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll drink a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
