H A P P Y
I don’t know how long I’ve waited,
Or if the feeling is true,
It was not anticipated,
Still happened right on queue,
And I’m happy, happy,
Happy to be here with you.
I’m happy, happy,
Happy to be here with you.
Don’t know if this is forever,
Somehow destined to be,
I only hope that you’re happy,
Happy to be here with me,
‘Cause I’m happy, happy
Happy to be here with you.
I’m happy, happy,
Happy to be here with you.
You-u-u-u-u-u
You-u-u-u-u
You-u-u-u-u-u
You-u-u-u-u
Sometimes I feel like I’m floating,
Like it’s all just a dream,
I’m gazing up at the stars, and
Drifting backwards downstream,
But I’m happy, happy,
Happy to be here with you.
I’m happy, happy,
Happy to be here with you.
I’m happy, happy,
Happy to be here with you.
I’m happy, happy
Happy to be here with you.
Happy to be here with you.
You-u-u-u-u-u
You-u-u-u-u

about
This song came to me in a dream, where I was singing the chorus. When I woke up, the melody and lyrics were still fresh in my mind.
The song is about being present and feeling joyful without forming an attachment to how long the feeling may last.
It is about a connection with others, without needing to analyze or name it, hoping only that the joy can be shared.
It is about celebrating that joy and that connection - the here and now - with song and dance, being together and feeling elevated.
Featuring the wonderful Eric Harper on guitars, Manu Barreto on drums and percussion, and Sturla Mio Thorisson on programming and production, it is truly a song that makes me want to dance. I hope it may do the same for you.
