Lyrics
Happy.
Words and Music by Tony Chapman. Copyrighted.
I'm happy to be with you today
tomorrow is far away
even though it won't stay
I'm happy to be with you today
no promise made, no plan laid
No future or past, arrival at last,
just you and me, each in our own way
(and) I'm happy to be with you today .
I'm happy to be with you tonight
tomorrow is out of sight
tomorrow is the present in flight
I'm happy to be with you tonight
no rule held, no law spelled
no symbol or sign -in this instant of time
you and me, each in our own right
I'm happy to be with you tonight .
every moment is a like diamond -pure feelings and movement
untainted by longing or fear
(and) I'm happy to be with you right here... .
I'm happy to be with right now
tomorrow's just a distant cloud
tomorrow never comes anyhow (I'm) happy to be with you right now
no vow to be spoken -no bond to be broken
No blood mingling -no soul merging
Just you and me, each finding out how...
(and) I'm happy to be with you, I'm happy to be with you, I'm happy to be with you
right now
