"Happiness / In Buddy's Eyes" lyrics
(originally by Marin Mazzie)
[Happiness]
I'm so happy I'm afraid I'll die
Here in your arms
What would you do if I died like this, right now
Here in your arms?
That we ever should have met is a miracle
No, inevitable-
Inevitable, yes, but I confess
It was the look, that look
The sadness in your eyes
That day when we glanced at each other in the park
We saw that we were both unhappy
I pitied you, you pitied me
How quickly pity leads to love
All this happiness
Merely from a glance in the park
So much happiness
So much love
I thought I knew what love was
I wish we might have met so much sooner
I thought I knew what love was
I thought I knew how much I could feel
I didn't know what love was
But now I do
It's what I feel with you
The happiness I feel with you
Some say happiness
Comes and goes
Then this happiness is a kind of happiness
No one really knows
I didn't know what love was
I thought it was no more than a name for yearning
I thought it was what kindness became, I'm learning
I thought where there was love there was shame
But with you
There's just happiness
Endless happiness
Endless happiness
Endless happiness
[In Buddy's Eyes]
Life is slow but it seems exciting
'Cause Buddy's there
Gourmet cooking and letter-writing
And knowing Buddy's there
Every morning-don't faint-
I tend the flowers
Can you believe it?
Every weekend I paint
For umpteen hours
And yes, I miss a lot living like a shut-in
No, I haven't got cooks and cars and diamonds
Yes, my clothes are not Paris fashions
But in Buddy's eyes
I'm young, I'm beautiful
In Buddy's eyes
I don't get older
So life is ducky
And time goes flying
And I'm so lucky
I feel like crying
And-
In Buddy's eyes
I'm young, I'm beautiful
In Buddy's eyes
I can't get older
I'm still the princess
Still the prize
In Buddy's eyes
I'm young, I'm beautiful
In Buddy's arms
On Buddy's shoulder
I won't get older
Nothing dies
And all I ever dreamed I'd be
The best I ever thought of me
Is every minute there to see
In Buddy's eyes
In Buddy's eyes
I'm still the princess
Still the prize
In Buddy's eyes
I'm young, I'm beautiful
In Buddy's eyes
I'm so happy I'm afraid I'll die
Here in your arms
What would you do if I died like this, right now
Here in your arms?
That we ever should have met is a miracle
No, inevitable-
Inevitable, yes, but I confess
It was the look, that look
The sadness in your eyes
That day when we glanced at each other in the park
We saw that we were both unhappy
I pitied you, you pitied me
How quickly pity leads to love
All this happiness
Merely from a glance in the park
So much happiness
So much love
I thought I knew what love was
I wish we might have met so much sooner
I thought I knew what love was
I thought I knew how much I could feel
I didn't know what love was
But now I do
It's what I feel with you
The happiness I feel with you
Some say happiness

Then this happiness is a kind of happiness
