HAPPY SONG (Pete Ham)
[from "Gwent Gardens" - recorded 1967 - released U.S. 2023]

I'll sing a happy song
Happy to be with you, yeah
You just can't go on
Feeling so sad and blue, now

Memories - of what you think of things of yesterday
Lots of tears - for what you cared when sadness comes your way
Tenderness - is what you get when someone holds you tight
Happiness - is how I feel, how it's gotta stay

I'll sing a happy song
Happy to be with you, yeah
You just can't go on
Feeling so sad and blue, now

Seventy - an age where people should be out having a ball
Grass so green - it's everywhere over lands that rise and fall
Loneliness - the thing I knew until you came in my way
Happiness - is how I feel, now we are back to stay

I'll sing a happy song
Happy to be with you, yeah
You just can't go on
Feeling so sad and blue, now

If I had a second life
I'd live it the same as today
You make me happy, girl
My life is home, I'm gonna stay

I'll sing a happy song
Happy to be with you, yeah
You just can't go on
Feeling so sad and blue

Everybody, now!
I'll sing a happy song
Hope you're happy too, now
I'll sing a happy song
