Lyrics

 
She said her name was Carly RoseJust moved here from Pasadenathere was an earthquake in my mindshe smiled and I said “Nice to meet ya”She had a notebook in her pocketwas a poet from the East Coastwho didn’t want to share her versesbut she raised a glass and gave a toast:“Here’s to Life, Love, and Laughter,running barefoot through the night.Here’s to music until sunriseUntil your heart weeps with delight.”I said that midnight was my birthday,She was a Virgo, I was a Taurusand on the jukebox a song was spinning,coming round to another chorusHere’s to Life, Love, and Laughter,running barefoot through the night.Here’s to music until sunriseUntil your heart weeps with delight.Her eyes they struck me just like lightningThere was a stone inside my throatAnd in my head a song was playingand in my heart these words were wrote:“Here’s to Life, Love, and Laughter,running barefoot through the night.Here’s to music until sunriseUntil your heart weeps with delight.”Here’s to Life, Love, and Laughter,running barefoot through the night.Here’s to music until sunriseUntil your heart weeps with delight.
