Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I sat around all day
I used to get stoned
I liked to get wasted
But these days I don‘t 'cause I'm happy
With you
I got lots of good things to do
Ooh yeah
[Verse 2]
I walked around angry
I used to feel bad
But nowadays, my days
Don‘t have to be sad 'cause I'm happy
With you
I got lots of good things to do
Ooh yeah
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
I used to drink too much
Forgot to come home
I lied to my doctor
But these days I don't 'cause I'm happy
With you
I got lots of good things to do
Ooh yeah
[Verse 5]
(Yeah) 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
Watch your reunited friends
Loving one another
[Verse 6]
I sat around all day
I liked to get stoned
I used to get wasted
But these days I don‘t 'cause I'm happy
With you
I got lots of good things to do
Ooh yeah
[Verse 7]
Ooh, happy with you
I'm happy with you
Happy with you
