Story Behind the Song
A song depicting the sadness a man feels when he has lost the only woman he ever really loved, and all because of his own studid infidelity.
Lyrics
Party of One
words and music by Sam Redman
Last night I went to a cafe, didn't wanna eat at home.
And people seemed to know, I was a fool left all alone.
Everyone glanced up to see, then went back to their fun,
when the hostess looked at me, and said, "Party of One."
A party of one is not a party you see,
A party of one now means sadness to me.
Happiness was just me and you, and for me its all or none.
But ever since we parted, I've been a party of one.
How could anyone be smilin' with life so torn apart?
Can't they feel this sadness comin' from my heart?
I heard laughin' as I walked down the street,
it seemed distant and unreal.
Every person that I meet should know this sadness that I feel.
A party of one is not a party you see,
A party of one now means sadness to me.
Happiness was just me and you, and for me its all or none.
And ever since we parted, I've been a party of one.
I can't stand to be around with happy laughin' folks,
with me cryin' on the inside while they're tellin' all their jokes.
So I'll just go down to that honkey-tonk where they play those old sad songs,
and I'll drink with all them others who had somebody done em wrong.
A party of one is not a party you see,
A party of one now means sadness to me.
Happiness was just me and you, and for me its all or none.
And ever since we parted, I've been a party of one.
Ever since we parted, I've been a party of one.
