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
