Lyrics

Hope She'll Be Happier

Maybe the lateness of the hour

Makes me seem bluer than I am

But in my heart there is a shower

I hope she'll be happier with him

Maybe the darkness of the hour

Makes me seem lonelier than I am

But over the darkness I have no power

Hope she'll be happier with him

I can't believe that she don't wanna see me

We lived and loved with each other so long

I never thought that she really would leave me

But she's gone

Maybe the lateness of the hour

Makes me seem bluer than I am

But in my heart there is a shower

Hope she'll be happier with him
