Lyrics:
Sadness had been close as my next of kin
Then Happy came one day, chased my blues away
*
My life began when Happy smiled
Sweet like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let Sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
Happy, that's you
You made my life brand-new
Lost as a little lamb was I 'til you came in
(* Repeat)
('Til now)
Where I have been
What lifetime was I in
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until Happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I said a prayer so suddenly
Let Sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
'Til now
**
Happy, yeah, yeah, Happy
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, yeah
(** Repeat with ad lib and fade)
Then Happy came one day, chased my blues away
*
My life began when Happy smiled
Sweet like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let Sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
Happy, that's you
You made my life brand-new
Lost as a little lamb was I 'til you came in
(* Repeat)
('Til now)
Where I have been
What lifetime was I in
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until Happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I said a prayer so suddenly
Let Sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
'Til now
**
Happy, yeah, yeah, Happy
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, yeah
(** Repeat with ad lib and fade)
