Loving You Makes Me Happy
|
The days were bright
My spirit light
Loving you
Made me happy
Trains on time
As I unwind
Loving you
Made me happy
Birds they chirp
Men aren’t jerks
Loving you
Made me happy
Champagne with fizz
The loving dizz
Loving you
Made me happy
But so it goes
No one knows
Doors do close
Now I’m sappy
Oh how I growl
No longer prowl
Because a foul
Left me lonely
Oh how my love
Was love undone?
When we were two
Happy mooners?
Now I croon
As lovers swoon
Who cares its June?
I’m feeling lacky
A lack of wanna
A lack of hope
Am I a goner?
Or just plain wacky?
I really wanna
Be in love
Play the fool
In giving sun
To catch the jewel
The lovers coo
Loving you
Made me happy
It’s true it’s you
I still I do
Can we be two?
And I’ll be happy
Now you’re back
And I am glad
Men aren’t bad
I’m hugging sunshine
Oh Valentine
Yes you are mine
Men are fine
And I am happy
Loving you
Loving you
Loving you
Makes me happy
He knew my sound and my silences. I knew his smell and his inflections. I was happy to be lost in his love, to be his queen in the small kingdom of us.
Then one afternoon while we sat in a park near a river he said, “I’m not that good. You deserve better.” I asked, “Don’t I get to decide that? Loving you makes me happy.”
Years later, while the birds chirped and I sipped my morning tea; this quiet song showed up.
