You Made Me So Very Happy
Alton Ellis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I lost at love before,
Got mad and closed the door.
But you said try just once more.
I chose you for the one,
Now I'm having so much fun.
You treated me so kind,
I'm about to lose my mind.
You made me so very happy,
I'm so glad you came into my life.

The others were untrue,
But when it came to lovin' you,
I'd spend my whole life with you.
'Cause you came and you took control,
You touched my very soul.
You always showed me that
Loving you was where it's at.
You made me so very happy,
I'm so glad you came into my life.

I love you so much, it seems
That you're even in my dreams.
I hear you calling me.
I'm so in love with you,
All I ever want to do is
Thank you, baby.

You made me so very happy,
I'm so glad you came into my life.




You made me so very happy,
I'm so glad you came into my life.

It doesn't matter what color you are, how old you are, or what year it is, good music is good music . Good music knows no boundaries .

So much shit these days, how will young people ever make good music again?

Martina Fossataro

@cunobelinusX31 watch the old slaves that bring soul and blues till our hearts. Everybody has bad times, black people had and they create good music tho

James, well said Sir, my sentiment always. I only knew the Blood Sweat & Tears version (which is very good). while the composition of this song is nothing compared to the Blood Sweat and tears release. I found original soul version, just so cool - good music is good music Sir x

Alton Ellis is among the GREATEST Rocksteady vocalists of all time.
Straightforward, rustic, countryman, unfettered, crystal clear, grabbing, soul satisfying, miraculously bare and essential.
