“Auld Lang Syne” - “Times Gone By” The lyrics and words were first published in 1787 to celebrate the life of the author

and poet Robert Burns, and is about love and friendship in times past. Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and never brought to mind?

Should old acquaintance be forgot, and old lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne,

we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.
