My Happiness
Skeeter Davis · Easy to Love (RCA Camden) [1970]
Evening shadows make me blue
When each weary day is through
How I long to be with you
My happiness.
Everyday 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
Anyplace on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
My happiness
(Whether skies are grey or blue)
Whether skies are grey or blue
(Anyplace on earth will do)
Anyplace on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
My happiness...
