Lyrics

Black Celebration

[Chorus]

Let's have a black celebration

Black celebration

Tonight

[Post-Chorus]

To celebrate the fact

That we've seen the back

Of another black day

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

I want to take you in my arms

Forgetting all I couldn't do today

[Chorus]

Black celebration

Black celebration

Tonight

[Post-Chorus]

To celebrate the fact

That we've seen the back

Of another black day

[Verse 2]

I look to you and your strong belief

Me, I want relief tonight

Consolation, I want so much

Want to feel your touch tonight

[Pre-Chorus]

Take me in your arms

Forgetting all you couldn't do today

[Chorus]

Black celebration

Black celebration (I'll drink to that)
