I think tonight’s the night

He’s gonna get down on one knee

I think the mood is right

And he said he’s got a NewYear’s Eve Surprise for me

We’re going to our favorite spot

He’s got a twinkle in his eye

I bet he’s planned a crazy plot

To give my special New Year’s Eve surprise to me

Well he was saying just the other day

The future wasn’t so far away

Maybe we should make a plan or two

I think I’m ready baby how bout you

By the second course my hopes started to fall

I wondered what was taking him so long

I left to find the ladies room and to call

Rosalie my friend, the romantic expert one

I told her all about the speech he’d made

And that he’d looked excited as the night went by

How he had ordered us a good champagne

And that he’d worn a jacket and tie, and he hates ties

She said, the clues are there I can’t deny it

He was probably waiting for you to leave

You know the trendy thing’s to have you find it

He’s probably hiding it as we speak

So I returned to the table with a smile

And a loving look in my eye

He said, that seemed to take you quite a while

I hate it when you’re gone from my side

He said I bet you’re hoping that now’s the time

For the big surprise I promised you

I’ll be right back if you don’t mind

And you can open up our New Year’s Eve surprise for two

I started picking through the dinner rolls

Searching bubbles in my champagne

But when I stripped the petals off the table rose

The waiter looked at me as if I were insane

Then he put it on the table, a great big box

With little holes cut in every side

I thought now that would hold a helluva rock

And that there might be a big surprise, after all

He said, I think I’m ready for a major commitment

And I’m hoping we’re on the same page

You know you’ve got to start thinking of these things

When you get to be a man of my age

I’m so in love, I must admit it

I never, ever felt this way before

I took the liberty to commit us

To this darling labrador, I named him Jake

Well now I guess a year’s gone by

Since that fateful New Year’s night

And Jakes the happy hyper apple of my eye

But his Dad’s just got, well, visitation rights

Well me and Jake we make quite a pair

Romantic walks every afternoon

We cuddle up in my favorite chair

We’re probably still in the honeymoon phase

But that’s alright with me

My little New Year’s Eve Surprise
