No, I didn’t wanna celebrate.
No, I didn’t wanna celebrate.
Not this holiday.
Don’t have it within me
To see the parade
Or join in the parties.
I’d tell ‘em, “Maybe I’ll stop by later,” but then
I would never show.
Don’t mean to trouble, no I
Don’t mean to at all.
I’m just goin through some things
I can’t share right now.
Don’t wait up for me.
Go and sing your hearts out.
Yes, go celebrate the New Year.
No, I didn’t wanna celebrate.
No, I didn’t wanna celebrate.
Then I saw you there
At that old café,
There all by yourself.
I could feel your pain
So I walked in, though unlike myself,
Felt the need to say “hello.”
Four cups of cocoa, and then…
Then we were warm.
Empty room echoed of our
Stories and jokes.
How ironic we thought we’d be alone.
Nice to celebrate with you here.
No, I didn’t wanna celebrate.
No, I didn’t wanna celebrate…
Till I met you...
Till I met you,
And unintentionally
I stayed with you
Cause you make me laugh,
Smile,
And you listen awhile,
And time slipped by fast.
Yeah…
So happy that I can celebrate with you.
Mm…
Yes, we’ll celebrate
This holiday.
