Album Cover Happy

Happy

Bruce Springsteen

6

Some need gold and some need diamond rings

Or a drug to take away the pain that living brings

A promise of a better world to come

When whatever here is done

I don't need that sky of blue

All I know's since I found you, I'm happy when I'm in your arms

Happy, darling, come the dark

Happy when I taste your kiss

I'm happy in a love like this

There's a house upon a distant hill

Where you can hear the laughter of children ring

Guardian angels, they watch from above

Watching over the love that they bring

But at night I feel the darkness near, I awake and I find you near

I'm happy with you in my arms

I'm happy with you in my heart

Happy when I taste your kiss

I'm happy in love like this

In a world of doubt and fear

I wake at night and reach to find you near

Lost in a dream, you caught me as I fell

I want more than just a dream to tell

We're born in this world, darling, with few days and trouble never far behind

Man and woman circle each other in a cage

A cage that's been handed down the line

Lost and running 'neath a million dead stars

Tonight let's shed our skins and slip these bars

Happy in each other's arms

Happy, baby, come the dark

Happy in each other's kiss
