lyrics

I saw you on the bray last night
You were quite the same
You held my hand and held it tight and didn't know my name

And then I heard somebody say, can we not be happy at the same time?
In the same room, with no special reason?
It's not a lot to ask for us to be happy
In the same way, on the same day
I think I'll go mad trying to find out how can we be happy now

I hear you in each serenade and every reveille
In your name I was unafraid
Now you can be brave for me

Can't you hear the people say, is it dumb to be working on the same page?
In this day and age, not somebody’s birthday?
Is it wrong to be together on a good day, in this one way?

I can’t not get mad trying to find out how can we get happy now

Sly says that two words will get it straight
And Sly says that two years is two long to wait
We could be so happy now
We could be so happy now
They wouldn’t have this on the bray
We would have laughed and walked away
Sly says two words
Walked away
Happy now
Sly says two words
Happy now
Two words
