Lyrics The Happy Days - Charles Aznavour

The Happy Days

As the world is ever spinning,
time and troubles have no end, no beginning.
Happy days sing of a sadness,
dreams we build our lives upon, soon are gone.
Everyone can taste the soul,
so learn into the past, or tomorrow,
never knowing that the answer to this futile game we play,
is today.
The happy days are here and now.
Now is the time to laugh and live, drink all the wine,
sing all the songs that live can give.
Our yesterdays are death and gone,
tomorrow lives so far away,
so be alive and think of now as the happy days.
Have you seen the children playing?
Have you taken time to hear, what they’re saying?
Do you know the names of flowers?
Do you know what love can bring?
Do you sing?
Every day is what you make it,
either you have love for life, or you fake it.
Make the most of every minute,
take each moment in your hand, while you can.
The happy days are here and now.
Now is the time to love and live,
drink all the wine, sing all the songs that life can give.
Our yesterdays are death and gone.
Tomorrow lives so far away,
so be alive and think of now as the happy days.
