New Year's Day Alone Rose Marie Raccioppi The falling snow of Christmas now washed by the rain this New Year's Day The once glistening beauty pale now in pools and rivers So like this heart afloat with tears of loss The day darkens The rain taps, taps, taps And this heart awakens to its call Be not sad for tears are but the tell-tale messages of your heart Be not alone for the rain is present The night comes to bear you comfort The new day to welcome your faith.
