I just wanna be happy

To love and be loved by you



But the only time I'm happy 

Is when I dream of you each night 

Cause that's the only time 

You hold me tight in my dreams

Is the only time your love is mine.



Each time you're near 

Something happens to my heart 

You make you feel so unwantedm dear

And it pains my poor heart

If I could feel your sweet caress 

Then I'd know true happiness.



But the only time I'm happy 

Is when I dream of you each night 

Cause that's the only time

You hold me tight in my dreams 

Is the only time your love is mine.



To me you'll never have 

Nothing kind or sweet to say 

Than my whole day 

To seem too sadly waste away 

But when the day ends 

All my happiness begins.



But the only time I'm happy 

Is when I dream of you each night 

Cause that's the only time 

You hold me tightly in my dreams 

Is the only time your love is mine.



Life pasts each day 

Leaving loneliness in my heart 

You make you feel so unneeded

And it hurts my poort heart

But there's nothing I'd rather do 

Than to be happy loving you.



But the only time I'm happy 

Is when I dream of you each night 

Cause that's the only time 

You hold me tightly in my dreams 

Is the only time your love is mine.
