Happiness Is Me And You
Gilbert O'Sullivan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the evening is over
Put your head upon my shoulder
And I'll tell you something
I believe is true
Happiness is me and you

In a world so distorted
Where the worst is best reported
Love maybe something
That will see us through
Happiness is me and you

There maybe girls that I'll remember
That made me happy for a while
But none of them compare with you my love
However hard they they all may try

If the bus that we're taking
Has for ages kept us waiting
What does it matter
Even in a queue
Happiness is me and you

There may be days when you discover
I'm not the man you think I am
But through it all we will recover
Without the aid of any plan

When the weeks turn to hours
And in June it's April showers
I'll tell you something I believe is true
Happiness is me and you




Happiness is me and you
Happiness is me and you

When the evening is over
After a long day, when our duties and agenda are over,


Put your head upon my shoulder
Please snuggle up close and rest your head on my shoulder,


And I'll tell you something
There's something I think you should know,


I believe is true
And I'm absolutely positive this is true,


Happiness is me and you
Our love is the only source of true joy and happiness we need


In a world so distorted
In a world where media highlights the negative stories,


Where the worst is best reported
And where the misfortunes of others are broadcasted as headline news,


Love maybe something
We can find assurance and comfort in the love we share,


That will see us through
A love so strong that will help us overcome any obstacle that life throws our way,


There maybe girls that I'll remember
I may have had previous romantic relationships with other girls,


That made me happy for a while
They may have brought me fleeting happiness,


But none of them compare with you my love
But none of them can ever compare to the love I have for you, my dear,


However hard they they all may try
Although they may have given it their all to make me happy,


If the bus that we're taking
Even if the transportation we're taking,


Has for ages kept us waiting
Has kept us waiting for what seems like a lifetime,


What does it matter
It doesn't matter,


Even in a queue
Even if we're stuck in a line for hours,


Happiness is me and you
Our love is all we need to feel happy and content


There may be days when you discover
There might be days when you realize,


I'm not the man you think I am
That I'm not perfect, and I've made mistakes,


But through it all we will recover
But no matter what happens, we will recover from any hardships together,


Without the aid of any plan
We don't need any strategy or plan to make things right between us,


When the weeks turn to hours
Time seems to go so fast,


And in June it's April showers
The weather seems to be unpredictable,


I'll tell you something I believe is true
I will always tell you what I truly believe,


Happiness is me and you
Our love is eternal and the only source of true happiness for us


Happiness is me and you
Our love is eternal and the only source of true happiness for us


Happiness is me and you
Our love is unshakeable and nothing can ever come between us
