Happy Song is a tale of loss told from the perspective of a man who longs for his lover and hopes that the song he sings will somehow help heal his heart.
lyrics
Verse 1:
There's been a lot on my mind
Since you left me here alone
I tell myself I'll be fine
Ignore the pain in my bone
I wrote this song a while ago
It had a happy melody
I changed the words and made it slow
Now you're not here next to me
So...
Chorus:
Where are you?
Where've you gone?
It's hard to do these things alone
I wrote these words to make you smile
This was meant to be a happy song
Verse 2:
Called your phone a couple times
I know you're not there but I try
The doctor said you'd be fine
Now I know that doctors lie
I wrote this on my way to you
To make you smile and make you laugh
Until the day we meet again
This song will be all I have
Chorus:
Where are you?
Where've you gone?
It's hard to do these things alone
I wrote these words to make you smile
This was meant to be a happy song
Chorus:
Where are you?
Where've you gone?
It's hard to do these things alone
I wrote these words to make you smile
This was meant to be a happy song
