Lyrics Happiness - Bernadette Peters

Happiness

I’m so happy I’m afraid I’ll die here in your arms
What would you do if I died
Like this right now here in your arms
That we ever should have met is a miracle
No, inevitable, inevitable yes
But I confess it was the look
That look, the sadness in your eyes
That day that when we glanced at eachother in the park
We saw that we were both unhappy
I needed you
You needed me
How quickly need can lead to love
So much happiness
Simply from a glance in the park
So much happiness
So much love
I thought I knew what love was
I wish we could have met so much sooner
I thought I knew what love was
I thought I knew how much I could feel
I thought I knew what love was
But now I do
It’s what I feel with you
The happiness I feel with you
So much happiness
Happening by chance in the park
Surely this is happiness
No one else has ever felt before
Just another love story
That’s what they will claim
Another simple love story
Aren’t all of them the same
Know that we feel more
This is more
We feel so much more
Like every other love story
Some say happiness comes and goes
Then this happiness is a kind of happiness
No one really knows
I never knew what love was
I thought it was no more than a name for yearning
I thought it was what kindness became
I’m learning
I thought where there was love there was shame
But with you there’s just happiness
Endless happiness
Endless happiness
Endless
Endless
