Give Myself a Party
Celebrating Memories: Give Myself a Party by Mandy Barnett
Lyrics
I've got a lot of memories
I possess numerous memories
To last me the rest of my life
These memories will suffice for the duration of my life
So if you don't want to love me
If you choose not to love me
Baby, that'd be all right
That would be acceptable
I'm gonna take all the lovin'
I'll embrace all the affection I have for you
That I have for you
I'll accept and hold onto the love I feel
I'm gonna take all the loneliness
I'll endure all the solitude
Sit right down with the blues
I'll confront and face the feelings of sadness
I'm gonna give myself a party
I will celebrate for myself
And serve old memories
By revisiting old memories
Give myself a party
Marking a personal celebration
Think of how it used to be
Reflecting on how things used to be
Remember all the happiness
To recall past joy
That we once knew
Recollection of previous happiness shared
I'm gonna give myself a party
To commemorate for myself
Just me and the blues
Alone with feelings of sadness
A few of your love letters
A collection of your affectionate letters
A photograph or two
A couple of captured moments in photographs
A gift you gave on my birthday
A present from a past birthday expressing love
With words "I love you"
Inscribed with "I love you"
There's lots of things to think about
There are many thoughts to dwell upon
When you're happy feelin' blue
When experiencing joy yet feeling sorrowful
So I'm gonna take all the loneliness
I'll face the solitude
Sit right down with the blues
Confronting feelings of sadness directly
I'm gonna give myself a party
I'll celebrate for myself
And serve old memories
By revisiting old memories
Give myself a party
Marking a personal celebration
Think of how it used to be
Reflecting on how things used to be
Remember all the happiness
To recall past joy
That we once knew
Recollection of previous happiness shared
I'm gonna give myself a party
To commemorate for myself
Just me and the blues
Alone with feelings of sadness
