Ed Charles - Happy Now Lyrics

The mortgage is paid
The kids are away
I love and adore you
More than before
It gets deeper each day
Now that we're free
And it's just you and me
Shouldn't I be
Happy now

I swear it's not you
It's nothing you do
I'm glad we're alone
In our beautiful home
Starting anew
But I'm beginning to see
There's no guarantee
That I'll ever be
Happy now

"Why not take a trip to some exotic place"
That's what the younger ones say
The ones planning their escape
How many walks can you take
How much bread can you bake
I've even tried to crochet
And that old telescope
I boxed years ago
Well I broke it out
And each night I scout
Searching the old Milky Way

It's not that I'm bored
I've learned to explore
Why I'm feeling this way
And I'm sorry to say
There's not much to report
So don't ask me how I
Pass all my free time I'm just
Trying to be
Happy now
