Happy Time

Oh, it's a happy time inside my mind
When melody has found a rhyme
And says to me I'm coming home to stay
Oh, coming home to stay
Lord, I'm coming home to stay
Home to stay
Oh, Lord, it's just the same old story
Something 'bout love for glory
Nickel and a diamond is in fame
Oh, it's such a shame
Wow, the way they use your name
Whew, such a shame
Well, it's in my mind to sing a song
Hoping that you come along my way
Before I have to move along
Now, move along
Wow, but I'll be back again
Whew, back again
Ah, it's a happy time inside my mind
When melody has find a rhyme
And says to me I'm coming home to stay
Wow, coming home to stay
Lord, I'm coming home to stay
Home to stay
Oh, sleep late now, mama
Let the morning sun warm your face
While I'm awake
While I'm awake
