Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you, be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
[Chorus]
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
[Verse 2]
Under a blood-red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspaper says, says
[PreChorus]
Say it's true, it's true
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one
[Chorus]
I, I will begin again
I, I will begin again
[Chorus]
Yeah-oh, oh-oh, oh
[Bridge]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[PreChorus]
Oh, oh, maybe the time is right
Oh, maybe tonight
[Chorus]
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
[Verse 3]
And so we are told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you, be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
[Outro]
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
Written by: Adam Clayton, Bono, Dave Evans, Larry Mullen Jr., The Edge
