Holiday
Celebrate

If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life
It would be, it would be so nice

Everybody spread the word
We're gonna have a celebration
All across the world
In every nation
It's time for the good times
Forget about the bad times, oh yeah
One day to come together to release the pressure
We need a holiday

If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate (come on, let's celebrate)
Just one day out of life (holiday)
It would be, it would be so nice

You can turn this world around
And bring back all of those happy days
Put your troubles down
It's time to celebrate
Let love shine
And we will find
A way to come together, we can make things better
We need a holiday

If we took a holiday (holiday)
Took some time to celebrate (celebrate)
Just one day out of life (just one day)
It would be, it would be so nice

Holiday

If we took a holiday (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Took some time to celebrate (come on, let's celebrate)
Just one day out of life (holiday)
It would be, it would be so nice

Holiday (ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
Celebrate (come on, let's celebrate)




Holiday (just one day out of life)

This is the be$t feel good song in all of music history. It makes me think of my innocent teen years in the 80$.

I never grow tired hearing this song. It reminds me of Pharrell'$ HAPPY and the O'Jays'$ LOVE TRAIN.

It makes me think of a family gathering and everybody dancing, the little ones, teens, the matures, the grands, great grands, uncles, aunts, cousin's just having a good time enjoying one another.

No disputes, ill reputes, debates, bitter memories just feeling this song and enjoying the moment making a sweet memory.

Thank you MADONNA and every one who contributed to making this song.

Madonna my heart breaks to see you as are know. I pray you seek and find in the Lord who loves and gave himself for you and the whole of mankind.

Read the letter of John it will bless you.

I was 16 when this song came out. I fell in love with Madonna and loved her brilliant music. I'm 56 now and I still feel the same. Thank you Madonna for years of happiness and great music.
