I Believe In Happy Endings
Neil Diamond · Top Tunes Karaoke Cdg Tt-067 Hall Of Fame Vol. 6 Neil Diamond [2001]
Starry skies and dreams come true
I've believed it since I first met you
I believe in new beginnings
Extra innings, brand new starts
Loving hearts that care the way I do
All these things and happy endings too
Sad songs bring me right down with the blues
Glad songs take me wherever I choose
And I choose to be there
So that I
Can declare why
I believe in happy endings
You're the reason, love's the way
And I'll believe it till my dying day
I know the cost of tears and trouble
Some get lost, some make it through
Me, I made it, 'cause I always knew
That you believed in happy endings too
[Instrumental]
Sad songs bring me right down with the blues
Glad songs take me wherever I choose
And I choose to be there
So that I
Can declare
I know the cost of tears and trouble
I got lost, but I got through
And I made it, 'cause I always knew
That you believed in happy endings too
You and me and happy endings too
