Auld Lang Syne is one of my favorite songs. Here are the lyrics:
Should old acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot
and old lang syne?[Chorus – this part repeats after every verse]
For auld lang syne, my dear
for auld lang syne
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet
for auld lang syne.And surely you’ll buy your pint cup
and surely I’ll buy mine
And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet
for auld lang syne.We two have run about the slopes
and picked the daisies fine;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot
since auld lang syne.We two have paddled in the stream
from morning sun till dine
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.And there’s a hand my trusty friend
And give me a hand o’ thine
And we’ll take a right goodwill draught
for auld lang syne
And here are two renditions. I posted them two years ago, but they still move me.
Happy New Year’s Eve.

Perfect post for New Years eve. I knew the first verse and the chorus but not the rest of it.
I love that song more and more
…my best wishes for the New Year.
I hope you have a great 2025.!
Happy New Year!
The same to you!
Like Ann, I didn’t know all these lyrics — yet, who among us of a ‘certain age’ can’t help but relate!
Happy New Year!
I hope you have a great 2025!
Yes, that’s a classic!
I love it more each year.
I had no idea it has this many verses! I always liked Don MacLean. Did you ever hear his song “Vincent”, about Vincent Van Gogh? I hope you have a lovely evening!
No, I hadn’t heard any of his other songs, so thanks to you I looked them up. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year! May your year be filled with blessings.
I hope you have a great 2025!
I hope you have a pleasant and safe evening leading to a marvelous new year, my friend. Best to you and Andy.
Thank you. I hope you have a great 2025.
Happy New Year! May this be another good one for you two.
Thank you. I hope you have a great 2025!
Happy New Year!
I hope you have a great 2025!
I really enjoyed the one by Dougie MacLean…perhaps it was the guitar that sounded so sweet. May you have a wonderful New Years Eve and I wish for you a wonderful 2025
That’s my favorite version. I hope you have a great 2025!
Happy New Year from your friends in Kansas – we hope 2025 is very good for you and Andy and all of your family.
Thank you. I hope 2025 is good to you all too.
