Paul Anka - Happier lyrics

I felt the closing walls Trouble on the rise You didn't have to say a word I saw it in your eyes Opened up my soul I showed a view inside I'm not too proud To say out loud I'm happier, I cried A shield of misty gray We'll gladly leave behind A restless youth Gave way to truth And now to peace of mind We'll ride the wings of love A maze of tears have gone Good riddance to The pain we knew A new day's finally dawned And I don't wanna run your life I just wanna share a space I just wanna be the one who puts A smile upon your face Friends will come and go I don't mind if they do The role they play I'm sad to say Is small compared to you People will always talk And I don't care, do you Smaller minds you'll always find Have nothing else to do Oceans rise and fall And meadows washed in rain We cast aside the tears we cried And lived to love again I told you once before I'll tell you once again You make mistakes That's what it takes Life fools you now and then I'm happier to find That both of us could grow Mistakes were made So turn the page Cuz life goes on, you know I don't wanna run your life I just wanna share a space Let me be the one who puts A smile upon your face I'm happier to know I'm happier to see That open every door inside Our lives will still be free I don't wanna run your life I just wanna share your space I just wanna be the one who puts A smile upon your face
