Quote context
[...]
- It's a pleasure to serve you, sir.
- No, sir. All I know is that everybody says, 'Happy New Year.'
- In a way, it's like an old king stepping down, and a new one taking his place.
- A Baby New Year starts out every January the 1st... innocent and young as springtime.
- The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on.
- You can't hold back the clock, it just ticks on and on.
- The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on, so treasure memories, for what is gone is gone.
- And oh, you may swear that time told you no it's great just to be alive.
- And as midnight nears, the old year waits. And all the clocks count down his last moments.
