Happy Was the Day We Met Lyrics
[Intro]
(Happy, happy)
[Verse 1]
It hurts inside to know of all the times
We've ever had a cry
To keep away the reasoning of why we lie
It only leads me down a lonely road
And strange of fates as a world to
A new and different time or place
To live away the time of day so we can race
Exactly what we choose just not to believe
[Chorus]
And ooh, happy was the day we met
Never could I ever forget you
I knew too well not to stay (Not to stay)
[Verse 2]
We paid our price turn our heads
Close our eyes and sacrifice
Excuses of love that once was warm has turned to ice
But only leave me cold and so alone
[Refrain]
Now memories of years and fun
Can only turn my eyes to see
All the good that's been undone
But I believe we're lucky just to learn
From what we were
(Happy, happy)
[Verse 1]
It hurts inside to know of all the times
We've ever had a cry
To keep away the reasoning of why we lie
It only leads me down a lonely road
And strange of fates as a world to
A new and different time or place
To live away the time of day so we can race
Exactly what we choose just not to believe
[Chorus]
And ooh, happy was the day we met
Never could I ever forget you
I knew too well not to stay (Not to stay)
[Verse 2]
We paid our price turn our heads
Close our eyes and sacrifice
Excuses of love that once was warm has turned to ice
But only leave me cold and so alone
[Refrain]
Now memories of years and fun
Can only turn my eyes to see
All the good that's been undone
But I believe we're lucky just to learn
From what we were
[Chorus]
And ooh, happy was the day we met
Never could I ever forget you
I knew too well not to stay (Not to stay)
[Bridge]
What am I gon' do, oh?
Oh-oh-oh, yeah
Ooh, if you go away-way-way baby
Oh, you so happy, baby?
(Happy, happy, happy, happy, ooh)
[Refrain]
Now, memories of years and fun
Can only turn my eyes to see
All the good that's been undone
But I believe we're lucky just to learn
From what we were
[Chorus]
And ooh, happy was the day we met
Never will I ever forget you
I knew too well not to stay (Not to stay)
Ooh, happy was the day we met
Ooh, never could I ever forget you
I said, happy was the day we met
Ooh, never could I ever forget you
Happy was the day we met
Ooh, ever could I ever forget you
Happy was the day we met
Never could I ever forget you
And ooh, happy was the day we met
Never could I ever forget you
I knew too well not to stay (Not to stay)
[Bridge]
What am I gon' do, oh?
Oh-oh-oh, yeah
Ooh, if you go away-way-way baby
Oh, you so happy, baby?
(Happy, happy, happy, happy, ooh)
[Refrain]
Now, memories of years and fun
Can only turn my eyes to see
All the good that's been undone
But I believe we're lucky just to learn
From what we were
[Chorus]
And ooh, happy was the day we met
Never will I ever forget you
I knew too well not to stay (Not to stay)
Ooh, happy was the day we met
Ooh, never could I ever forget you
I said, happy was the day we met
Ooh, never could I ever forget you
Happy was the day we met
Ooh, ever could I ever forget you
Happy was the day we met
Never could I ever forget you
