This Night Won't Last Forever
Bill LaBounty Lyrics

Everybody likes a celebration
Everyone enjoys a good party and socializing.

Happy music and conversation
People at a party talk and listen to music that is light and cheerful.

I'd be lying if I said
I am going to be dishonest when I say

I never got the blues
I sometimes experience sadness and depression.

So pardon me for my disposition
Excuse my current mood and attitude.

You see, I just can't keep
I cannot hide the fact that

From wishing that I
I really want to

Was celebrating too
Enjoy the party the same as everyone else.

I know (I know)
I believe (I believe)

This night (this night)
This moment (this moment)

Won't last forever
Will eventually come to an end.

The sun's (the sun)
Good things (good things)

Got to shine sometime
Always come around eventually.

I got (I got)
I have (I have)

Some hope (some hope)
A belief in a positive outcome.

For a bright tomorrow
That tomorrow will be better and full of happiness.

This heart (this heart)
My emotions (my emotions)

Gonna mend just fine
Will heal and recover from current sadness.

In the corner
Over in the far part of the room

There's a couple dancing
A two-person group is moving rhythmically

From the kitchen
From the area used to prepare food

I can hear 'em laughing
I hear them amusing themselves.

They're playing the same
They are repeating the same music that has been played before.

Old songs on the radio
The music is coming from a device that receives wireless signals that play music.

I wish I didn't
I want to not

Have to sit and listen
To be forced to remain silent and attentive

And be reminded of
And be made aware of once again

What I'm missing
The things that I can not participate in

No, I'd rather be
Actually, I prefer to be

Lonesome all alone
Solitary and without companionship.

Suddenly, a strange vibration
A strange and unfamiliar feeling

From my head to my toes
That I'm experiencing throughout my body

Filling me with a warm sensation
Giving me a feeling of warmth and comfort.

Somebody's letting me know, yeah
I am now aware that someone is informing me.

It isn't right to be so downhearted
Being depressed and despondent is not the way to live.

Telling me that the party started
Informing me that the fun and games have started.

And I (I) got some celebrating to do
I have some partying and having fun to do.

Now I got (I got)
Today I have (Today I have)

Some hope (some hope)
My previous pessimism has been replaced with a hopeful outlook.

For a bright
For a prosperous and happy

Such a bright tomorrow
Such a wonderfully happy and prosperous future.

Now I know (I know)
I am now fully aware (I am now fully aware)

This night (this night)
This moment (this moment)

Won't last, can't last
Will eventually end, cannot continue indefinitely

I know (I know)
I firmly believe (I firmly believe)
