Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah ooh yeah,

Everybody's been so uptight
And forgetting to live the life
Let all the problems get them down
Till they make you wanna shout, oh yeah!
See everybody's been down in luck
Now finally things are looking up
The sun is chased all the rain away
No more obstacles in our away, yeah.

It's time to celebrate (come on, yeah)
Come on and celebrate (that's what I want)
I wanna celebrate (because it's so right)
I celebrate you (I celebrate you, yeah)

There is oh so many of us
(That underestimate the power of love)
So much hate going round and I've had enough
I've invited you for the love.

Though we been going through changes
Just trying to make it from day to day
Tonight don't you worry about a thing
Just cash your cares away.

It's time to celebrate

(Tonight everyone is a star)
I celebrate you, I celebrate you

I'm gonna give you a reason
Why you should clap your hands and jump for joy!
There's something we can believe in,
Now that the rain is gone we're gonna dance in o a rainbow!

It's time to celebrate
(Come on, yeah)
Come on and celebrate
(Time to celebrate)
I wanna celebrate
(Because it's so right)
I celebrate you
(I celebrate you)
Celebrate me, celebrate me.

It's time to celebrate
(Time to bring you and me)
Come on and celebrate
(No matter what color you are)
I wanna celebrate
(Tonight everyone is a star)
I celebrate you, you celebrate me

It's time to celebrate
Come on and celebrate
I wanna celebrate
I celebrate you, you celebrate me




I celebrate you, you celebrate me
I celebrate you, you celebrate me

Whitney sounded amazing! She did this song 4 days before her death. I wish ppl didn’t bully her by saying she couldn’t sing anymore. She still sounded better than most

@klion3924

Whitney was having fun! I love her vocals here, her Voice was so diverse. Nippy was like Jordan you hit those high notes, it is all you girl haha.

@klion3924

Her Voice reminds me of Phyllis Hyman You Know How to Love Me but just with the extra Nippy flava.
