Sadness had been
Close as my next of kin
Then happy came one day
Chased my blues away
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet, like candy to a child
Stay here, love me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was

Sadness, go away
Happy, won't you stay?
Happy, that's you
You made my life brand new
Lost as a little lamb was I
'Til you happened back
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet, like candy to a child
Stay here, love me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was

Where have I been?
What lifetime was I in?
Suspended between time and space
Going no place
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet, like candy to a child

Why don't you stay right here and love me just a while?
Why don't you stay right here and love me just a while?
Stay right here, stay right here and love me just a while

Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
'Til now

Happy, you make me happy, yeah
Happy, you make me happy
Sadness, go away
Happy, happy, won't you stay, stay?

Stay, stay, happy, oh yeah, oh yeah
Stay, oh yeah, oh yeah
Stay, stay, stay, stay happy
Stay baby, stay, so stay
You make me happy, happy
