Lyric

Welcome home, you’ve done so well

Since New Year’s Day, it’s been a whirlwind spell

That’s enough for now, just let it go

Spend the day with me, nice and slow

Take a bath and say "goodnight"

Walk with me to the shrine in the morning light

That’s enough for now, you’re doing fine

Let’s just relax, your heart and mine

"Should I cook something?"—No, no, stop!

You’ll "cut our ties," let the kitchen drop

Ramen’s fine, just stay where you are

"A little cleaning?"—No, no, that’s too far!

You’ll chase the Gods right out of the door

Just take a seat, don’t do any more

How many wishes can I make today?

I pray that you’re healthy in every way

I pray that your smile continues to shine

I pray you’ll be selfish, and that’ll be fine

I pray that you’ll find your own happy line

Good morning, dear, the sun is high

No need to rush or give a sigh

It’s okay to stay in bed for a while

Spend the day with me and a smile

Dress up warm, let’s go outside

Get your coins ready for the ride

That’s enough for now, no need to be grand

Sweatpants are fine as we walk hand in hand

"Want a gift?"—No, no, don’t you dare!

We’ll spend too much, let’s just beware

An amulet’s enough, a simple prayer

"A little laundry?"—No, no, no, leave it there!

You’ll wash away the luck of the year

Just take a seat, there’s nothing to fear

How many wishes can I make today?

I pray you get off work on time, okay?

I pray that your heart can finally rest

I pray you’ll lean on me, that would be best

I pray that you’ll say you’re truly blessed

Two deep bows, and then two claps

Are you there, God? In the silence, perhaps?

Can you hear my prayer, small and shy?

My voice has been quiet since I was a child

How many wishes can I make today?

I pray we’ll stay close, come what may

I pray we can argue, then laugh it through

I pray I’ll be right here, right next to you

So we can say "We’re happy," and know it’s true

Just you and me

Stay right here

Happy New Year, my dear
