Where's happiness, where's it?
Where's happiness, where's it?
I made love, I begged
I was waiting to be happy
I made songs, I had kids
I sulked, I faked it
I acted like an idiot, it's true
There are all those nights without friends
When nobody calls or comes
It's Sunday night, in the rain
Like an idiot in his bath
Trying to drown it, but it floats
So I sing myself my prettiest notes
And it'll be better tomorrow
Where's happiness, where's it?
Where's happiness, where's it?
Happiness is here, it's here
Where's happiness? It's here
I courted, I did my circus
I was waiting to be happy
I played the clown, it's true, and I did nothing
I did good, I made mistakes
I did crazy stuff, I cracked up, yeah
There are all those Christmas nights
To shield from cruel life
All those children's laughs
And those empty chairs that remind us
So I sing myself my finest notes
Where's happiness, where's it?
Where's happiness, where's it?
Happiness is here, it's here
Where's happiness? It's here
Happiness is a candle
Don't laugh too loud, by the way
We want happiness, yeah, we want it
Everybody wants to reach it
But happiness makes no noise, no, it makes no noise
Happiness is dumb, yeah
Because it's often afterward we know it was there
Where's happiness, where's it?
Where's happiness, where's it?
Happiness is here, it's here
Where's happiness? It's here
But, where's happiness?
But, where's happiness?
Happiness, it's here, it's here
Happiness, it's here, it's here
