Special Occasion Lyrics

Mmh, yeah
Special occasion
Like when you dress up in your tie and tails, yeah
Special occasion
Ev'ry time and it never fails
To give me a thrill
That's fresh and new
Every time I'm kissin' you
It's something that you do
That makes ev'ry time I kiss you
A real special occasion
Like one that calls for toast of champagne
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Special occasion
Ev'ry time and it's hard to explain
How the same old touch
From the same old hand
Can make me feel like a diff'rent man
I just can't understand
But all the time you touch me
It's a real special occasion yeah, yeah
Special occasion, oh
Mmh, mmh, yeah
Ooh, beautiful music begins to play
You are the sun
Brighten up my day
Why don't you stay
'Cause ev'ry time I'm with you
It's a real special occasion
Like when in school
You got your cap and gown yeah
And it's a real special occasion
And every time that you come around, baby

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
