    I know it hasn't been easy Dealing with so much But we've made it this far And we've had enough Of the gloom and doom, the ups and down Let's forget our worries And light up the town Throw up the confetti, pop the champagne let's give a TOAST TO LIFE It's time to live again Put on your party hat, grab a good friend let's give a TOAST TO LIFE It's time to live again TOAST TO LIFE, TOAST TO LIFE, yeah, yeah TOAST TO LIFE, TOAST TO LIFE, yeah, yeah You might not sail the coast jamming to way past three But let go of your fears Dance like your problem free Try not to sweat things you can't change just enjoy the ride Bring sunshine to the rain Repeat Chorus We don't need a special day we don't need a reason why no, no. no, we need to celebrate, celebrate life Repeat Chorus Copyright Shirley Goines Goinesongs (BMI) Christina Meyer Dr. Metal Music (ASCAP)

    Here I stand with my heart at stake I don't know the right move to make should I let go of what I feel inside I know someday I'll chance it somehow if it must be, it might as well be now who knows which way the fork will turn but I guess it's time for me to learn but, Don't Promise Me Sunshine and bring me rain Don't promise me comfort and bring me pain if you could leave my heart in one after all is been said and done that's all I ask of love Don't say you'll always be with me just take each day and just let it be it's true your love is what I need oh, but nothing in life is guaranteed if we want to make the most of this let's trust in love we sure can't miss as long as you feel you want to share I'll give my all as long as your here but, Don't Promise Me Sunshine and bring me rain Don't promise me comfort and bring me pain if you could leave my heart in one after all is said and done that's all I ask of love Repeat Chorus- ad-lib to fade
