New modern lyrics and pop rock arrangement for the traditional New Year's tune. This version makes a lot more sense and also lets people dance!! And, here are the entire lyrics:

FOR AULD LANG SYNE ... the words

[verse 1]
It’s the festive time of year for traditions held so dear
To remember friends we’ve long not seen when kinder still we could have been
So sing a song with me my friends for old acquaintance we’ve forgot and never brought to mind?
For old acquaintance we’ve forgot in days of auld lang syne.
[Chorus]
For auld lang syne my friends, for auld lang syne
We'll drink a cup of kindness for the sake of auld lang syne
Of time behind and friends not seen but never lost to mind 
So raise your cup to us old friend for auld lang syne.
[Verse 2]
We've paddled lakes from dawn 'til night
The waves before us rise and swell we felt the chill of fright 
Good times we shared, and sure some downs, but never did we doubt
The bond of friendship held to heart is what it’s all about 
[Chorus]
For auld lang syne my friends, for auld lang syne
We'll drink a cup of kindness for the sake of auld lang syne
Of time behind and friends not seen but never lost to mind 
So raise your cup to us old friend for auld lang syne.
[Verse 3]
My cup my friend is bottom dry, a tear this brings to my eye
So fill our cups with ale old friend, the night is young, so don’t pretend
The morning brings what mornings bring, no worries now as loud we sing, of…
[Chorus]
…auld lang syne my friends, of auld lang syne
We'll drink a cup of kindness friends for auld lang syne
Of time behind and friends not seen but never lost to mind 
So raise your cup to us old friend for the sake of auld lang syne.

MUSIC MADE IN CANADA: Music has been a large part of my life since my teen years when I started playing guitar. Used to play popular pop and country songs in bars, songs written by other artists but for past couple decades have focused entirely on writing and producing my own songs across a number of genres: pop, country, blues, and more recently dream pop and what I'm calling whiskey blues dream pop, a style that merges the two and that seems complimentary to my ear. I believe each style can sound good and give people pleasure: that's my goal in writing. Now I produce sounds featuring both male and female vocals as the lyrics dictate; variety is the spice of...well, you know. Thanks for listening.
