HAPPY written by Sheldon Manoo (1995)

Here I am sitting here

Looking out the window again

On this cool autumn evening

Playing with her hair brush set

I just love her long wavy hair

And I’m sad until she’s here

            I’m happy

            Only when she’s close

            I’m happy

            Only when she’s around

            Only when I know she’s there

            I’m happy

There she goes down the road in her car

It just wipes the smile off my face

I just can’t be happy when she’s far

My happiness is with her always. So

            I’m happy

            Only when she’s close

            I’m happy

            Only when she’s around

            Only when I know she’s there

            I’m happy

            I’m happy

            Only when she’s close

            I’m happy

            Only when she’s around

            Only when I know she’s there

            I’m happy

            I’m happy

            Only when she’s close

            I’m happy

            Only when she’s around

            Only when I know she’s there

            I’m happy

Here I am waiting at the gate again

Just to open it when she turns the corner

I carry her picture at work but it’s no use

Only her presence can see me through

Slower: Only when she’s around I’m happy!
