Lyrics

I'm so happy
I'm afraid I'll die
Here in your arms
What would you do
If I died
Like this—
Right now
Here in your arms?
That we ever should have met
Is a miracle—
No, inevitable—
Then inevitable, yes
But I confess
It was the look—
The look?
The sadness in your eyes
That day
When we glanced
At each other in the park
We were both unhappy
Unhappiness can be seductive
You pitied me
How quickly pity leads to love
All this happiness
Merely from a glance in the park
So much happiness
So much love
I thought I knew what love was
I wish we might have met so much sooner
I could have given you—
I thought I knew what love was
—My youth
I thought I knew how much I could feel
All the time we lost...
I didn't know what love was
I've never known what love was
But now—
And now—
— I do
It's what I feel with you
The happiness I feel with you
So much happiness—
You are so beautiful...
—Happening by chance
In a park
Not by chance
By necessity—
Surely, this is happiness—
By the sadness that we saw
In each other
—No one else
Has ever felt before!
Just another love story
That's what they would claim
Another simple love story—
Aren't all of them the same?
No, but this is more
We feel more!
This is so much more!
Like every other love story
Some say happiness
Comes and goes
Then this happiness
Is a kind of happiness
No one really knows
I thought I knew what love was
I'd only heard what love was
I thought it was no more than a name
For yearning
I thought it was what kindness became
I'm learning—
I thought where there was love there was shame
—That with you—
But with you—
—There's just happiness
Endless happiness...
