Lover's Holiday
Ben Liebrand Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Not a cloud showed out in the sky
That very night in Pitch Black City
I was so damned scared, it was dark
It was so dim, it was a shame

Just then a man walked up to me and said
Didn't I see you here before
The lights were low and the party was so dull

Just not good enough

Holiday
(Ey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Holiday
(Holiday, what you say?)
Holiday
Celebrate
(Ah yeah)

Holiday
Holiday
(Alright)
Holiday
Celebrate

Then we both held hands in each other's
For a chance to start it moving
He reached deep inside of his vest
And in his hand he held a ring

Let's have lunch
Picnic or a brunch in the wintertime
Let's disco down in a rollerskating
Ring in Alaska town

Holiday
(Holiday)
Holiday
(Come on, come on celebrate)
Holiday
(Woo, woo, woo, woo)
Celebrate

Holiday
(Got the feeling, come on, keep ahead)
Holiday
(Reelin' holiday, yeah, yeah)
Holiday
Celebrate

Not a cloud showed out in the sky
That very night in Pitch Black City
I was so damned scared, it was dark
It was so dim, it was a shame

Just then a man walked up to me and said
Didn't I see you here before
The lights were low and the party was so dull
Just not good enough

Holiday

Celebrate

Holiday

Holiday
Celebrate

Line by Line Meaning

Not a cloud showed out in the sky
The sky was clear and cloudless

That very night in Pitch Black City
This happened in a city without streetlights - it was very dark

I was so damned scared, it was dark
The darkness made me very afraid

It was so dim, it was a shame
It was so dark that it was pathetic and pitiful

Just then a man walked up to me and said
At that moment, a man came up to me and spoke

Didn't I see you here before
Haven't we met here before?

The lights were low and the party was so dull
The party was unexciting, and the lighting was dim

Just not good enough
The party wasn't up to par

Then we both held hands in each other's
We clasped hands with each other

For a chance to start it moving
In order to begin dancing

He reached deep inside of his vest
He put his hand inside his vest pocket

And in his hand he held a ring
He had a ring in his hand

Let's have lunch
We should eat lunch together

Picnic or a brunch in the wintertime
Either a picnic or brunch during the winter season

Let's disco down in a rollerskating
Let's roller skate to disco music

Ring in Alaska town
Celebrate in Alaska
