A LITTLE HAPPINESS

WHEN YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE MINE
MY HEART WAS FILLED WITH GLEE
AND I TOLD EVERBODY
HOW HAPPY IT MADE ME

YOUR EYES WERE LIKE THE STARRY SKY
YOUR CHEEKS WERE LIKE THE ROSES
YOUR KISS WAS SWEET AS CHERRY WINE
WITH A POCKET FULL OF POSES

BUT ALL TOO SOON, LIKE SNOW IN JUNE
BAD WEATHER STARTED FALLING
AND LIKE FALLING SNOW YOUR LOVE GOT COLD
ON OTHERS YOU WENT CALLING

THERE WAS NAUGHT THAT I COULD DO
TO MAKE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND
BUT YOU WOULD CHOOSE, NIGHT LIFE AND BOOZE
NOT LOVE THAT'S SWEET AND KIND

SO I SPEND MY TIME ALONE
IN A WORLD OF LONELINESS
AND HOPE TO FIND SOMEWHERE IN TIME
A LITTLE HAPPINESS

YOUR SOMEONE

LET ME BE YOUR SOMEONE
TO SHARE YOUR GRIEF AND PAIN
AND BRING TO YOU SOME SUNSHINE
AND RAINBOWS WITH THE RAIN

LET ME BE SOMEONE YOU KNOW
SOMEONE YOU CALL UPON
SOMEONE WHO IS ALWAYS THERE
WHEN OTHERS HAVE ALL GONE

LET ME LIFT YOU UP AGAIN
WHEN OTHERS LET YOU DOWN
TO BE THERE WHEN YOU NEED SOMEONE
WHEN OTHERS CAN'T BE FOUND

LET ME HOLD YOU IN MY HEART
A NICE WARM PLACE TO BE
AND KNOW THAT WE WILL MEVER PART
BECAUSE YOU'RE HOLDING ME

SO LET ME BE YOUR GOOD OL JOE
THAT'S ALL I WANT TO BE
JUST TO BE SOMEONE YOU KNOW
AND KNOW THAT YOU KNOW ME

WHY

WHY TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU
WHY SAY IT ANYMORE
WHY STAY AWAKE TILL MIDNIGHT
WHY PACE AROUND THE FLOOR

WHY SIT AND WAIT AND WORRY
WHY TARRY LIKE BEFORE
WHY LISTEN FOR THE TELEPHONE
OR KNOCKING AT THE DOOR

WHY KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING
THERE'S NO ONE COMING HOME
WHY SHOULD I HAVE A HOUSE SO BIG
JUST TO LIVE ALONE

WHY SHOULD I CALL YOU DARLING
OR BABY IN HER JEANS
WHY TRY TO GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT
AND HOLD YOU IN MY DREAMS

WHY NOT PULL THE CURTON DOWN
AND CLOSE THE DOOR BETWEEN
WHY, THE LOVE I THOUGHT I FOUND
WAS JUST A BROKEN DREAM.

ROSE AT MIDNIGHT

YOU REMIND ME OF THE MIDNIGHT
WITH THE TWINKLE IN YOUR EYE
LIKE THE STARS THAT SHINE AT TWILIGHT
SHOW THE BEAUTY OF THE SKYS

LIKE A SHADOW IN THE MOONLIGHT
CAST UPON WHITE SILVER SAND
WHILE THE NIGHT WIND SOFTLY WHISPERS
AND WE'RE WALKING HAND IN HAND

I CAN HEAR YOUR FOOT STEPS NEAR ME
FEEL YOUR HAND SO SOFT AND WARM
TASTE THE DEW DROPS FROM YOUR SWEET LIPS
MEVER WISHING FOOR THE MORN

WE FIND THERE IN THE MOONLIGHT
BENEATH THE STARY SKYS ABOVE
THE ROSE THAT BLOOMS WITH LOVE AT MIDNIGHT
THE ROSE OF PURE AND SWEET TRUE LOVE.
