Happiness - Bernadette Peters

I’m so happy I’m afraid I’ll die here in your arms

What would you do if I died

Like this right now here in your arms

That we ever should have met is a miracle

No, inevitable, inevitable yes

But I confess it was the look

That look, the sadness in your eyes

That day that when we glanced at eachother in the park

We saw that we were both unhappy

I needed you

You needed me

How quickly need can lead to love

So much happiness

Simply from a glance in the park

So much happiness

So much love

I thought I knew what love was

I wish we could have met so much sooner

I thought I knew what love was

I thought I knew how much I could feel

I thought I knew what love was

But now I do

It’s what I feel with you

The happiness I feel with you

So much happiness

Happening by chance in the park

Surely this is happiness

No one else has ever felt before

Just another love story

That’s what they will claim

Another simple love story

Aren’t all of them the same

Know that we feel more

This is more

We feel so much more

Like every other love story

Some say happiness comes and goes

Then this happiness is a kind of happiness

No one really knows

I never knew what love was

I thought it was no more than a name for yearning

I thought it was what kindness became

I’m learning

I thought where there was love there was shame

But with you there’s just happiness

Endless happiness

Endless happiness

Endless

Endless
