Lyrics : Happy Man

It seemed life had no answers for me, no special meaning or plan
How could I be a happy man?
Then just like in a love-song, you're here, making each day seem so clear
Now I can smile - I'm a happy man

I'm in love and I'm alive - happy man
Got the sun inside - happy man
I've got a girl on my mind
Love in my heart - happy man

I'm in love and I'm alive - happy man
Got the sun inside - happy man
So now the whole world can see
I've got all I need - I'm a happy man

And now you say it's happened to you, this love I'm feeling inside
Girl, you've made me a happy man
And I will share a lifetime with you making our dreams all come true
Now I can smile - I'm a happy man

I'm in love and I'm alive - happy man
Got the sun inside - happy man
I've got a girl on my mind
Love in my heart - happy man

I'm in love and I'm alive - happy man
Got the sun inside - happy man
So now the whole world can see
I've got all I need - I'm a happy man

I'm in love and I'm alive - happy man
Got the sun inside - happy man
I've got a girl on my mind
Love in my heart - happy man

I'm in love and I'm...
