We were happy, we were happy, we were happy once
Sometimes I play a game
To see if I still love you
Pretend we never met
And I know nothing of you
When looking at your face
Would I still see the promise
And would you still choose me?
Come on now let's be honest
It takes a dark and lonely sky
To see the brightest shining light
You can't deny
We were happy, we were happy, we were happy once
We were happy, we were happy, we were happy once
Not long ago, not long ago, not so long ago
Today I caught a glimpse
Of you around the corner
I saw something I'd forgotten
And I loved you more than ever
It takes a dark and hopeless night
To see the starlight in your eyes
I can't deny
We were happy, we were happy, we were happy once
We were happy, we were happy, we were happy once
Not long ago, not long ago, not so long ago...
