Christine Lavin - Happy Divorce Day lyrics

We are gathered here together for this woman and this man they look each other in the eye and take each other's hand they once promised love forever now they're here to take it back they don't hate each other but they need to cut each other slack They'd give back the wedding gifts except they've all been used please forgive them if they both seem dazed and confused they had no idea on the day they made their wedding vow that love could lead them to where they're standing now And they are sorry for the angry words they didn't really mean in the heat of battle they just let off too much steam they apologize for everything that ever brought on tears and they hope that when they look back they won't regret these years Their plans for the future just blew up in their face the pieces drifted aimlessly landed all over the place no way that they can pick them up and start over again so they dust themselves off, shake hands and walk away as friends So let's raise a gla** but let's not raise our voice be glad we have the wisdom be glad we have the choice to admit our failures then move on no use to keep trying when you know the love is gone And perhaps in the future when we think back to this day we'll smile and be grateful that things worked out this way though it's with sadness we arrived here we leave with lighter hearts knowing some of us are better off when we are apart
