Best Night of the Year

from Green Beans & Tangerines by Walter Martin

/

about

I had a bad cold when I recorded this one. It's supposed to be about New Year's Eve or some special night. On nights like those I sometimes can't enjoy myself because I'm stressed out that the music on the stereo isn't perfect--so that's what I'm doing in this song.

lyrics

LYRICS:

Let's have a laugh
The past is past
And everything's pretty in the looking glass
Gimme a kiss and make a wish
There's so much magic on a night like this

Daddy's down in the kitchen
Making a shoo-fly pie
Mama's down in the laundry room
Singing "Edelweisse"
Me, I'm in the music room
Where the light are low
Trying to find the perfect song
On the radio
Could it be?
Is it here?
The best night of the year?

Let's have a laugh
The past is past
And everything's pretty in the looking glass
Gimme a kiss and make a wish
There's so much magic on a night like this
