もっと きみにあえたら
いいのになあ
ずっと その手に触れたい
だれもが 時間に追われて
こわれて
だれかを 愛するひまもない

そばにいてほしい あともう少し
君だけが僕を癒してくれる
迷いのないスマイル
よどみのないヴォイス
そういうのがハピネス

いつも うまくやろうと
すればするほど
ひとを 傷つけてるよ

君が流した涙の粒に
はっきりうつる
荒れはてた 僕の心

まっすぐ見つめよう
ちゃかすのもやめよう
君だけが僕に勇気をくれる
大切なことを 易しい言葉で
ささやいてくれる

そばにいてほしい あともう少し
君だけが僕を癒してくれる
だれのためじゃない
だけど歪んでない
そんなフツーの力で

今日も日は暮れ 絶えぬ人の群れ
ふらつきながら がんばっているよ
楽しい歌だけ 歌いながらね
歩いてゆこう

シャラララ ハピネス
シャラララ ハピネス 君こそがハピネス
シャラララ ハピネス (シャラララ シャラララ)
シャラララ ハピネス (シャラララ シャラララ)
君こそがハピネス (シャラララ シャラララ)
シャラララ ハピネス (シャラララ シャラララ)




シャラララ ハピネス (シャラララ シャラララ)
君こそがハピネス (シャラララ シャラララ)

Overall Meaning

The song "Happiness" by Stephen Schwartz can be interpreted as a personal reflection on the pursuit of happiness and one's relationship with oneself. The repeated chorus of "keep on searching for happiness" suggests that the quest for happiness is ongoing and ever-evolving, and that it requires a continuous effort. The lyrics also acknowledge the challenges and sacrifices one may face in order to attain true happiness.


The verses touch upon a few themes, including the illusion of love and the importance of self-love, the value of peace and graciousness in contrast to war and deceitfulness, and the struggle against hatefulness and hopelessness. The lines "they don't love you like you think they do, nobody loves you the way you want them to" can be seen as a reminder that our expectations and perceptions of love can often fall short, and that it is ultimately up to us to love and accept ourselves for who we are.
