Happy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've played the game of love before
Too young to know
How hard the fall could be
I never though I'd try again
Somehow you brought
The gambler out in me
You can deal me in this time around
Even though the odds are high
We'll play them down
You may be a chance I need to take
And the hand I'm holdin' says it's no mistake
(*) happy is the way I'm feelin'
And I know it comes from being with you
All at once my life is changin'
And I know it's cause I'm fallin' in love with you
Fallin' in love with you
Fallin' in love
Fallin' in love with you
If this is luck then let it ride
If it's the starts
They're surely on my side
I've never been so safisfied
By love before
For all the times I've tried
These beginnings could mean more
Than the brief affair I bargained for
Little did I know when we began
That my time had come to win a hand
Repeat (*)
Please forgive me if I seem
To be walking through a waking dream
Laughter never came so easily
There's a freedom here that's new to me
Repeat (*)
