**

I sat around all day
I used to get stoned
I liked to get wasted
But these days I don't
'cos I'm happy, with you
I got lots of good thing to do,
oh yeah

I walked around angry
I used to feel bad
but nowadays my days
Don't have to be sad
'cos I'm happy, with you
I got lots of good things to do,
oh yeah

Like, hear the high clear robin sing
Walk a bluebell carpet
Watch the children playing games
Catch a moon and drop it
Hear the gentle mantle roll
On a frosty morning
See the mighty ocean break
Like a sailor's warning

I used to drink too much
Forgot to come home
I lied to my doctor
But these days I don't
'cos I'm happy, with you
I got lots of good things to do

Throw a pocketful of coins in the Trevi fountain
See an ice cold running stream
Rushing down the mountain
Hear a new born baby lamb
Calling for its mother
Watching reunited friends
Loving one another

I sat around all day
I liked to get stoned
I used to get wasted
But these days I don't
'cos I'm happy, with you
I got lots of good things to do, oh yeah

Happy with you
I'm happy with you
Happy with you

The CD has no spine ... it doesn't look right on the shelf.
