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 lam was I till you came in 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 (Till now) Where have I 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 silently Let Sadness see what Happy does Let Happy be where Sadness was till now
