Lyrics
Happiness is...
Happiness is life
Happiness is life when real life
Is just like the life I dream about
Happiness is... Oh...
Happiness is life
I refuse to believe that
We've become to old for this
And I refuse to believe that
We'll get over this
Put your dream balloon
Next to mine
We'll light the fire
And all at one time
We'll launch into the sky
The fire lifts us higher
The fire lifts us higher
I refuse to believe that
We've become to old for this
And I refuse to believe that
We'll get over this
Happiness is...
Happiness is love
Happiness is love when real love
Is just like the love I dream about
Happiness is... Oh...
Happiness is love
Put your dream balloon
Next to mine
We'll light the fire
And all at one time
We'll launch into the sky
The fire lifts us higher
The fire lifts us higher
The fire lifts
The fire lifts
The fire lifts us higher
and higher
Oh yes
