Sadness had been 
Close as my next of kin 
Then happy came one day 
Chased my blues away 

My life began when happy smiled 
Sweet like candy to a child 
Stay here and love me just a while 
Let sadness see what happy does 
Let happy be where sadness was 

Happy, that's you 
You made my life brand new 
Lost as a little lamb was I 
Till you came in 

My life began when happy smiled 
Stay here and love me just a while 
Let sadness see what happy does 
Let happy be where sadness was 
Till now 

Where have I been? 
What lifetime was I in? 
Suspended between time and space 
Lonely until 

Happy came smiling up at me 
'Cause sadness had no choice but to flee 
I said a prayer so silently 
Let sadness see what happy does 
Let happy be where sadness was 
Till now
