It Was Happiness

We had the stars they kept shining
Where they led us we followed
Two for love, wandering
I look back here's what I seeWe were outside
There was Paris
It was raining
And we felt everythingIn a crowded street in London
Happiness and we were so alive
And your soul was a wide and deep blue sea
I would drown and you'd rescue meAnd we lived our life like a story
Clear to the ending
It was happiness, so clear happiness
Happiness, no tear happinessCan't keep time from its running
Soon the best times are over
Photographs hold me
And I see how good we wereThere was that day out in Carmel, California
With no clothes in the sun
In a crowded street in London
Happiness and then it all goes bySo I drink to the past and what still will be
One day I'll be a memory
But I lived my life like a story
Too bad there's an ending
