“Happiness”
Happiness is living with you around
Happiness is being with you every day
Happiness is enjoying the smell of this flower
Happiness is knowing that I have your love
(Happiness) is living with you around
(Happiness) is being with you every day
(Happiness) is enjoying the smell of this flower
(Happiness) is knowing that I have your love
(Happiness) is knowing for sure
That we miss each other
When we can’t see each other
(Happiness) is waking up beside you
Drinking strong coffee
Then going for a run with you
(Happiness) is being able to make do
Go to the Caetano concert
Sing Odara until dawn
(Happiness) is having a weekend
Enjoying a good beach
With a killer sunset
(Happiness) is living with you around
(Happiness) is being with you every day
(Happiness) is enjoying the smell of this flower
(Happiness) is knowing that I have your love
Happiness
Happiness
Happiness
Happiness
