There's something about the New Year that inspires and excites us. Perhaps it's the chance to reinvent ourselves or the excitement of setting life goals; or maybe it's the mystery that lies ahead. Whatever the reason, the New Year has inspired many composers and musicians to write sentimental, sometimes melancholy, songs. Here are a few "Sentimental Songs for the New Year". Each song is linked to a sheet music you can either download or order online, plus links to the music and lyrics.
"What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" - Written by Frank Loesser and sung by Ella Fitzgerald in 1960. This classic has been interpreted and revived by different artists; from Barbra Sreisand to The Orioles.
