New wave (nueva ola) es un término global para varios estilos pop/rock de fines de la década de 1970 y mediados de la década de 1980, con vínculos con el punk y ciertos géneros del rock de los años 1970. Inicialmente, al igual que con el posterior rock gótico, la new wave se mantuvo prácticamente análogo al post-punk antes de ramificarse como un género distintamente identificado (aunque la new wave apareció primero que el post-punk), incorporando música electrónica, experimental, mod, disco y pop. Posteriormente engendró subgéneros y fusiones, incluyendo new romantic y rock gótico.
If the sky should fall into the sea
And the stars fade all around me
For the times that we have known
I will sing a hymn to love
We have lived and dreamed we two alone
In a world that's seemed our very own
With it's memory ever grateful
Just for you i'll sing my hymn to love
I remember each embrace
The smile that lights your face
And my heart begins to sing
Your arms and hands secure
Your eyes that said be sure
And my heart begins to sing
If one day we had to say goodbye
And our love would fade away and die
In my heart you will remain
I will sing a hymn to love
Those who love will live eternally
In the blue we'll roll this harmony
With my voice raised high to heaven
Just for you, i'll sing a hymn to love
Just for you i sing a hymn to love
