Best Night Of Our Lives
Boyzone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Many times I have closed the show
Many times I have watched the crowd go
But in time, my father said
All these lessons learned

Many times I would paint this town
So many ways I would lose this crown
But inside, my mother said
All these lessons learned

We are born to make mistakes
And in turn hearts will break
Someone will have to mend the pieces of the puzzles that we make
But it won't matter darling
'Cause tonight
We'll have the best night of our lives

Many times I have stormed the shores
Find a place I can call mine and yours
But in time, I've found
It was right before our eyes

We are ships across an ocean
Let out hearts out to the breeze
Never know when it was sinking 'cause we're wasting everything
But it won't matter, darling
'Cause tonight
We'll have the best night of our lives

And even in my darkest hours
I'm sending out a flare for you tonight
Oh, tonight
And it won't matter darling
'Cause tonight?

We are born to make mistakes
And in turn hearts will break
Someone will have to mend the pieces of the puzzles that we make
But it won?t matter darling
'Cause tonight
We'll have the best night of our lives





Best night of our lives
Best night of our lives
