Carole and Paula Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When each weary day is through
How I long to be with you
My happiness
Every day I reminesce
Dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss
A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then
Whether skies are grey or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
My happiness
A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then
Whether skies are grey or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
The lyrics of Carole and Paula's song, "Happiness," portrays the longing for a loved one's presence after a long day.

They miss their partner and are always thinking of them. The chorus repeats the phrase "My happiness," signifying the purpose of their longing.

Evening shadows make me blue
I feel sad when the evening shadows appear
When each weary day is through
At the end of each tiring day
How I long to be with you
I really want to be with you
My happiness

Every day I reminesce
I remember and think about it daily
Dreaming of your tender kiss

Always thinking how I miss
I constantly think about how much I miss you
My happiness

A million years it seems
It feels like it's been forever
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
I'll be able to hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then
I won't feel sad anymore

I absolutely loved them!!! I remember watching this on our old couch! I still sing the story box song and the theme song. I had forgotten the goodbye song, but when I saw it here, I was SO SAD!!! I remembered all of a sudden being like, "Oh, no! It's over" when the window would start to close. :) I miss those days.
