There was faint sound of karaoke in the distance
A packed pub of New Years Eve revellers
One woman standing outside, alone, so alone
Making footprints in the snow, something familiar about the cold
Another dream? Just out of reach.
Looking up at the stars, her grandfather's voice in her head
Tales of aliens and strange planets in the skies!
Something else she'd missed
And remembering Christmas
The same as it ever was
With her mother and grandfather, unwrapping presents,
Too much alcohol and too much food
Too much time alone to think
Desperately trying to remember, but needing to forget
A feeling of loss, not able to explain
Getting colder
The sound of someone singing badly to Dancing Queen shaking her from her reverie
She sighed, needing to break out from this depression
Deciding to go back inside and show them how Karaoke was meant to be sung
Looking one last time up at the sky!
Wondering just what else she had missed?
Another lone figure across the road, needing to see her
Not able to talk to her for fear of consequences
From time to time, remembering. Wishing that she'd remember him
The times they'd had, mates and so much more
"Happy New Year, Donna," he whispered.
Turning back towards the TARDIS, stepping inside
Hearing her laughter once again
The TARDIS remembering her for him
