I'd been sick for the last three days Laid out in a deep flu haze But two bottles of Red Bull and a fistful of Aleve Pulled me together for New Year's Eve We were lucky to have a sitter And, baby, you know I'm not a quitter Plus we'd promised her twice her pay And she was going to get it whether we went or we stayed So in the only suit I own I watched you pull your dress on I said, "Eldridge," when the cabbie asked, "Where you heading?" An intimate dinner party for luminaries Our table was filled with Tony award winners and the lovers they carried I shouted to you, "You look incredible, your skin is glowing." You shouted back, "It's bronzer but thanks for not knowing." In the unisex bathroom I pulled you close for a kiss 'Cause you're the only thing in this world I can't resist And when we get old we're going to remember this When we get old we're going to remember this As the ball dropped fifty blocks uptown We were off by forty seconds with our countdown But everything's relative and our 3, 2, 1 felt real We can only believe the things we feel Then it was hugs all around the room While in other sunlit parts of the world, flowers bloomed For so many time zones this moment had passed And now it was here but we weren't the last Our friends in L.A. were still getting dressed People in Hawaii were still getting disco rest Pretending the best but expecting the worst All my life these celebrations have been so poorly rehearsed But when I turned and saw you I realized that this would be a first You give me balance while you make me unsteady You complicate the world but you make me ready I pulled you across the table for a kiss, 'cause you're the only thing I can't resist And when we get old we're going to remember this [music] Jump into a cab on Allen Street Get a glare from the couple we barely beat Home free twenty blocks away The Aleve's worn off but I feel okay Call the sitter on the cell, everything's fine Our daughter went straight to sleep, sitter had a glass of wine Tell her we're almost there, she says, "Take your time." So the taxi keeps driving while I give you a kiss 'Cause you're the only thing in this world I can't resist And this is one of those moments I'm so glad we didn't miss When everything we've always wanted is right there in the palm of our fists And you're my only resolution and I don't need a list And when we get old we're going to remember this
