Are You Happy? 1927

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 21 Apr 2005

Life is a search for happiness,
And some of us look all in vain
You went to find your happiness
and filled my heart with pain.
Who knows but maybe you were right?
But I'm still wond'ring tonight:

Are you happy without me near?
Are you smiling to hide a tear?
Oh, how often I've wondered whether
you have forgotten me all together.
Are there moments when you regret
that you broke your vow?
Tell me truly, old pal of mine,
are you really happy now?

Are you happy without me near?
Are you smiling to hide a tear?
Oh, how often I've wondered whether
you have forgotten me all together.
Are there moments when you regret
that you broke your vow?
Tell me truly, old pal of mine,
are you really happy now?

If you have found your Paradise
with someone else then I'm content.
Glad that I made the sacrifice,
you know how much it meant!
I only hope for your own sake
you haven't made a mistake.

Are you happy without me near?
Are you smiling to hide a tear?
Oh, how often I've wondered whether
you have forgotten me all together.
Are there moments when you regret
that you broke your vow?
Tell me truly, old pal of mine,
are you really happy now?

Are you happy without me near?
Are you smiling to hide a tear?
Oh, how often I've wondered whether
you have forgotten me all together.
Are there moments when you regret
that you broke your vow?
Tell me truly, old pal of mine,
are you really happy now?
