Everybody likes a celebration
Happy music and conversation
I'd be lyin' if I said I didn't have the blues
In the corner there's a couple dancin'
From the kitchen I can hear her laughin'
Oh I wish I was celebratin' too
I know (I know) this night (this night) won't last forever
I know (I know) the sun's (the sun) gonna shine sometime
I need (I need) some hope (some hope) for a bright tomorrow
To show (to show) this heart (this heart) is gonna mend just fine
So pardon me for my disposition
Wish I didn't have to sit and listen
She's playin' the same old songs on the stereo
She's been lyin' since the day I met her
I'd be better off to just forget her
Oh I would rather be lonesome all alone
I know (I know) this night (this night) won't last forever
I know (I know) the sun's (the sun) got to shine sometime
I need (I need) some hope (some hope) for a bright tomorrow
To show (to show) this heart (this heart) is gonna mend just fine
Such a ridiculous situation
Pretending that nothing's wrong
She's comin' on with the invitation
I wonder who is takin' her home
I know (I know) this night (this night) won't last forever
I know (I know) the sun's (the sun) got to shine sometime
I need (I need) some hope (some hope) for a bright tomorrow
To show (to show) this heart (this heart) is gonna mend just fine
