Lonnie Johnson — Happy new year darling lyrics

Lyrics

Happy New Year, darlin', I’m so glad to be back home.
Happy New Year, darlin', I’m so glad to be back home.
Yes, and the reason why I’m so happy, I still can call you my own.
Christmas Eve mornin' baby, I was on my way back home to you.
Christmas Eve mornin' baby, I was on my way back home to you.
It was your love that kept me fighting, kept me safe the whole war through.
It seems like a long, long time, since I been fightin' the Japs across the deep
blue sea.
Yes, it seems like a long, long time, since I was fightin' the Japs across the
deep blue sea.
Yes, that’s why I’m so glad darlin', to find the one I love, still waiting for
me.
It’s so great to have you darlin', to have a little wife like you.
Yes, it’s so great my darlin', to have a little wife like you.
My three brothers couldn’t make it, but they say, Happy New Year to you.
