The Bright New Year - Bert Jansch

Hello mother dear

I hope you are well and happy today

I do love you and think of you

Each single day

I dream of seeing you happy

In summertime I thought

That I would be able to see you again

I do love you and think of you

Each single day

I dream of seeing you happy

As the bright new year

Draws closer now

I'm on my way

To bring you my love

And wish you good cheer

Mother dear

I hope you are well and happy today

I do love you and think of you

Each single day

I dream of seeing you happy
