An empty house
And a note on the table
She thinks of crying but
Knows she's unable
The people she loves
And the feeling for them
Wide
Sending him off
To live by himself
They say goodbye
And wish for good health
A crowded bar room scene
And a woeful dream
Wide
It's like the thought
In the back of my mind
I wanna be happy
Truly happy
All the time
Singing words
So I don't have to say them
Taking notes
Hoping somebody sings them
Writing a verse
To cure me of this curse
Wide
It's like the thought
In the back of my mind
I wanna be happy
Truly happy
All the time
It's like the thought
In the back of my mind
I wanna be happy
Truly happy
All the time
What I would give
To feel different
One time
And all the dreams that I have
And all the plans that I make
Far too wide
What I would give
To feel different
One time
And all the dreams that I have
And all the plans that I make
Far too wide
I wanna make you happy
Truly happy
This time
