Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let's have a black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight
[Verse 2]
To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day
[Verse 3]
I look to you, how you carry on
When all hope is gone, can't you see?
Your optimistic eyes seem like paradise
To someone like me
[Verse 4]
I want to take you in my arms
Forgetting all I couldn't do today
[Verse 5]
Black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight
[Verse 6]
To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day
[Verse 7]
I look to you and your strong belief
Me, I want relief tonight
Consolation, I want so much
Want to feel your touch tonight
[Verse 8]
Take me in your arms
Forgetting all you couldn't do today
[Verse 9]
Black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight
[Verse 10]
Black celebration
(I'll drink to that)
Black celebration
Tonight
Black celebration
(I'll drink to that)
Black celebration
Tonight
