MY HAPPIEST HOURS WERE YOU
Free finger food
Old drunks I've known
They're acting so happy
While I sit here alone
Half-priced drinks
They've all had a few
But I'm drinking coffee
My happiest hours were you
|
My best friend Joe
He'd laugh at my jokes
As long as I was buying
His bourbon and Cokes
I'd slap his back
Toss another one down
That helped me to forget
My happiest hours were you
|
Now Joe ignores me
My back he stabs
He's found a new bozo
To pick up the tab
Who wouldn't ignore
The world's biggest fool
This idiot who forgot
His happiest hours were you
|
Those lazy Sundays
Spent loving you
Your warm glowing skin
Caressing my soul
Whispering "I love you"
Nibbling your ear
Saying those things
You wanted to hear
|
Kissing your eyelids
Pressing your nose
Doing silly things
Drawing you close
Promising the moon
Acting the fool
All the things that remind me
My happiest hours were you
|
My happy hours
Made you unhappy
All alone at home crying
Wishing you could change me
Now that I'm sober
Now that we're through
I see things too clearly
My happiest hours were you
|
I swore I'd quit
So many times
I knew you were unhappy
You were through with my lies
You were right to leave
The world's biggest fool
Who didn't even realize
His happiest hours were you
|
You were the things
I sought in the booze
The warm glow and friendship
I discovered in you
Those happy hours
Just made me blue
They cost me my happiness
My happiest hours were you
