Matt Monro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here and now I feel the rhythm starting
I want to pour my heart in a song for you
Here and now The whole thing's gonna happen
Your feet will start a-tapping and dancing too
Don't worry what tomorrow morning's papers say
Throw all your cares away

Stand the place on it's head
Paint the town red, make your bow
Just grab this champagne feeling
We're gonna hit the ceiling with a pow
Let's get the party started here and now

Here and now The whole thing's gonna happen
Your feet will start a-tapping and dancing too
Don't worry what tomorrow morning's papers say
Throw all your cares away

Stand the place on it's head
Paint the town red, make your bow
Just grab this champagne feeling
We're gonna hit the ceiling with a pow




Here and now, here and now
Let's get the party started here and now
