Walking Back To Happiness
Helen Shapiro · Other Songs - Helen Shapiro
What lonliness can do
Since I've been away
I have loved you more each day
Walking back to happiness
Said goodbye to loneliness
I never knew I'd miss you
Now i know what i must do
Walking back to happiness i shared with you
I'm making up everything you said
And mistakes to which they lead
I shouldn't have gone away
So I'm coming back today
Walking back to happiness I threw away
Walking back to happiness with you
Said farewell to loneliness I knew
Played aside foolish pride
Learnt the truth from tears I cried
Spread the news im on my way
All my blues have blown away
I'm bringing you love so true
'Cos thats what I owe to you
Walking back to happiness I shared with you
Walking back to happiness with you
Said farewell to loneliness I knew
Played aside foolish pride
Learnt the truth from tears I cried
Spread the news im on my way
Mama blues have blown away
I'm bringing you love so true
'Cos thats what I owe to you
Walking back to happiness I shared with you
Walking back to happiness again
Walking back to happiness again
Walking back to happiness again
