Happy
music/lyrics İMarke Vaske 2002
SHE LOOKED RIGHT THROUGH ME WITH THOSE PERFECT BLUE EYES.
SHE SAID, TELL ME TRULY, WHAT IS IT YOU THINK YOU CAN DO WITH A SONG.
TAKE ME NOW, I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW MY FACE.
I WANT THE POWER TO SAY WHAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU OUGHT TO THINK.
BUT REALLY ALL I WANT IS TO BE HAPPY.
I`M JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THAT WAY.
DO TELL ME AGAIN, I`M SORRY, BUT I SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN YOUR NAME.
I SAID, ME, I`M NOBODY.
FRANKIE COMES IN ROUND ELEVEN, BUT TONIGHT SHE`S LATE.
SHE MAKES HER ROUNDS TELLIN THE SAME OLD STORY TO EVERYONE.
MY GAL SEES HER ACROSS THE WAY AND SAYS, HEY, I GOTTA GO.
BUT IT WAS SURE NICE MEETING YOU. SHE WALKS OVER, BUYS FRANKIE A DRINK.
SHE SAID ALL SHE WANTS IS TO BE HAPPY.
MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, THAT`S THE AMERICAN WAY.
I`LL SEE HER EVERY NIGHT DOWN HERE AND SHE`LL ASK MY NAME.
I`LL SAY, ME, I`M NOBODY.
TAKE DAVE DOWN AT THE END OF THE BAR, PEOPLE SAY HE DON`T NEVER TALK.
HE LOVINGLY RAISES HIS GLASS IN THE AIR, TAKES A DRINK, PUTS IT BACK DOWN.
WELL I SEE SOMETHING BEHIND HIS FACE, HARDENED LOOK, AND FAR AWAY EYES.
BUT I BELIEVE IN FOOLISH DREAMS - THAT`S WHAT THE LADY SAID.
SHE SAID WHY ALL YOU COULD WANT IS TO BE HAPPY.
WHAT MAKES US TRULY HUMAN IS THAT ONE THING.
SHE KISSED ME SO SOFTLY, BATTED HER EYES, THEN ASKED MY NAME.
I SAID ME, I`M NOBODY.
DAVE GETS UP, GRABS HIS COAT, AND WALKS ON OUT,
WHISPERIN BENEATH HIS BREATH AND BEHIND A SMILE.
HE SAID, HAPPY, SHAKIN HIS HEAD.
NO ONE TURNED TO SEE.
HE SAID, HAPPY, JUST SHAKIN HIS HEAD.
