( Celebration song lyrics )
( REAL BIG NIGHT for this ) PARTY OF ONE
Copyright © 2006 - MickTerry.com

One year, a whole year, three hundred & sixty-five days-
where I learned to work on- being myself
and not quite what you wanted me to be-.
It's clear, a-so clear, I've grown in a hundred million ways-.
I am not that jerk so unsure of himself
you came to be expecting out of me-.
The soft-lit candles cast an elegant glow.
The champagne twinkles in the moonlight.

It's me. It's all me: the product of concentrated effort:
an intensive program I did on my own,
a project that was so long overdue-.
I'm free, a-so free: a feeling significantly better.
It's a fresh breeze flowing into my whole life,
and thanks in part to breaking up with you-.
The soft-lit candles cast an elegant glow.
The champagne twinkles in the moonlight.

    It's a REAL BIG NIGHT for this PARTY OF ONE,
    a festive, fun celebration.
    Ever since that fight when we both came undone,
    a year since emancipation.

        This moment could have slipped by unacknowledged.
        This moment could have vanished with no trace.
        Without any fun or fanfare, it could be so melancholic
        where I'm left staring at the memory of your face.

    CHORUS

One year, a whole year, three hundred & sixty-five days-.
Here's a toast to you where- ever you are
and then again, let's have a toast to me.
It's clear, a-so clear, this now is my independence day-.
I had given thought to inviting you here,
but that was something never meant to be-.
The soft-lit candles cast an elegant glow.
The champagne twinkles in the moonlight.

    CHORUS
