Lyrics

This Kind of Happy

[Verse]

I travelled high, I travelled low

And there was no place that I didn't go

Looking for this kind of happy with you

[Verse]

I had a love, it wasn't right

And I spent so many lonely nights

Yearning for this kind of happy with you

[Bridge]

Happy with you

Happy with you

I love the things that you do

[Verse]

It took such a long time

That I thought that I'd never find

This kind of happy with you

[Bridge]

Happy with you

Happy with you

This kind of happy with you

[Verse]

And some day when I draw my final breath

I'm gonna know that I had the best

'Cause I had this kind of happy with you
