Home 9 Issue 9 That Night by Avril Shakira Villar

Avril Shakira Villar, age 14

Philippines

I wrote this song when we were having a family reunion far away from the city. When I was alone, I decided to write a piece to express my feelings on that exact day: I was the happiest person. I really love being with my family – they are all nice, and they are a good environment for me.

That Night

Verse
That night was loud
The place too crowded
The atmosphere unique
The people nice
The area was small
The style real modern
That felt like home
Can’t deny it anymore

Verse
The noise was pleasing
The people cheering
The color was green
The plants were healthy
The animals friendly
The wind was cool
That felt so good
Can’t hide it anymore …

Chorus
We kept dancing till the sunset comes
We kept singing, just enjoying the sound
No cares
Enjoying the sound
No cares
Feet on the ground

That night was everything
Unforgettable memories
Just jamming with my family
Sweet smiles all around me
The best day was fulfilled for me
That night was everything

Verse
That night was a blast
That night was perfect
The music my favorite
The beat was catchy
The lyrics relatable
The genre fit perfectly
Everything fell into place
Wanna show it all …

Chorus
We kept dancing till the sunset comes
We kept singing, just enjoying the sound
No cares
Enjoying the sound
No cares
Feet on the ground

That night was everything
Unforgettable memories
Just jamming with my family
Sweet smiles all around me
The best day was fulfilled for me
That night was everything

Verse
Me, my friends and family
Went out of the house to see
The sparkling stars, the shining moon
Everything, yeah everything

Me, my friends and family
Enjoyed the night fantastically
Flawless night was all I felt
No doubts, worries or anxiety

Chorus
That night was everything
Unforgettable memories
Just jamming with my family
Sweet smiles all around me
The best day was fulfilled for me
That night was everything
