JUST TO BE HAPPY

Just to be Happy

　

　

　

Just to be happy is all I need

no dreams of ambition or desire to deceive.

　

Just to be happy with you by my side

with love in my heart and peace in my mind.

　

Just to be happy in your warm embrace

no need to be cool or win any race.

　

Just to be happy no grey skies above

the sun always shining down on our love.

　

Just to be happy my whole life through

knowing I am loved by someone like you.
