Happy Endings - Ashford & Simpson

To write a book, I know

You must imagine

Things that aren’t so

I played with the idea

Your half didn’t go

I rewrote the script

Why let the world know

I couldn’t write a sad tragedy

I hope you don’t mind too much

It just wasn’t in me, you see

I like happy endings

Never, no tears, ooh, ooh, baby

I like new beginnings

Hopes and no fears

To write a book it seems

You must know how

To paint a dream

Like high on a hill

Or once upon a time

Somehow the truth

Don’t always rhyme

So call it fiction, fantasy or fact

My only prediction was

You’d be back, you see

I like happy endings

Never, no tears, ohh, ohh, baby

I like new beginnings

Hopes and no fears

I gotta change every line

I like happy endings

Never, no tears

I don’t believe in, baby

I don’t believe in it

I like new beginnings

Hopes and no fears, ooh

I remember bedtime stories

Often told to me

Dragonflies, giant butterflies

Through the night would creep

I just couldn’t get to sleep

They always made me cry

Maybe that’s the reason why

I like happy endings

Never, no tears, ohh, baby

Hope you don’t mind

But I changed every line

I like new beginnings

Hopes and no fears, no fears

I don’t believe in 'em

I like happy endings

Never, no tears

'Cause I remember

How it used to be

Just you and me

I like new beginnings

Hopes and no fears, no fears, no

I had tell it, tell it alright

I like happy endings

Never, no tears, no, no

The suns going to shine another day

I like new beginnings
