My Happiness
Fats Domino Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Evening shadows make me blue
When each weary day is through
How I long to be with you
My happiness

Every day I reminisce
Dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss
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
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
My happiness

Great version of a great song.

@allenblasco8157

My momma, Betty Peterson Blasco is co-writer of this song. It's been recorded over 400 times by such people as Elvis Presley, Ella Fitzgerald, Connie Francis, Jim Reeves, Kitty Wells, Freddie Fender, Chris Issak, John Prine, etc. Of all the versions I've heard, Fats Domino's is my favorite.
