Caterina Valente Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think about you day and night, it`s only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight,
So happy together
If I should call you up, invest a dime,
And say you belong to me and ease my mind,
Imagine how the world would be so very fine,
I can't see me lovin` nobody but you
For all my life
When you`re with me, baby, the skies will be blue
For all my life
Me and you and you and me,
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me,
So happy together, so happy together
I can't see me lovin` nobody but you
For all my life
When you`re with me, baby, the skies will be blue
For all my life
Me and you and you and me,
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me,
So happy together, so happy together
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba

Me and you and you and me,
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me,
So happy together, so happy together
So happy together

So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
Happy together
So happy together
So happy together (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba)
