The Saddest Happiness

Show me round the world a few more times But I don't think I'll find the wonders Once you've been so down it's hard to feel the highs Wish that I could see things through your eyes But I'm not getting any younger Heartache is a cloud that never leaves my skies This melancholy reverie It owerwhelms me so Brings back all my memories And never lets them go As wistful as the mourning dove That calls you in the night You can feel so close to love and yet so far from light Saddest happiness I found a friend in you The needle to the groove I know the saddest happiness I'm gonna let it fly It's come to signify all I have left of you I can't remember how I felt before When colours burned so bright and vivid Simple pleasure came from being by your side But sorrow knocked upon my door And now to joy I'm just a witness I wear my solitude like a badge of pride Rich is the man with a love to treasure If love has flown what I have to measure? So I'm holding on As wistful as the mourning dove That calls you in the night You can feel so close to love and yet so far from light Saddest happiness I found a friend in you The needle to the groove I know the saddest happiness I'm gonna let it fly It's come to signify all I have left of you
