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
_____
But it isn't better
_____
I did good, I made mistakes
_____
I did crazy stuff, I cracked up, yeah
_____
There are all those Christmas nights
_____
When we smile politely
_____
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
