Happy Days and Auld Lang Syne
B
He said, Dear, Im leaving, right there in the hallway
E
As the party roared on all around
B
And her head wouldnt turn, O she couldnt look at him
F# C#m F#
In a whirlpool she quietly drowned
G#m D# G#m D#
And she said to herself, I wont cry, I wont grieve
G#m D# E
But Ill laugh and Ill flow with the wine
B
With the fast love of strangers well sing Sweet Bye and Bye
F# B
Happy Days and Auld Lang Syne
B
How I wish I knew all the old songs theyre singing
F#
Such comfort theyre bringing to a heart thats as empty as mine
C#m E
O it lifts you so high, does the Sweet Bye and Bye
F# B
Happy Days and Auld Lang Syne
And she said, Ill be wearing my smile like a mask
And Ill care for each stranger I kiss
And no-one will know that Im wounded and cheated
So close to my moment of bliss
And sometimes you never connect with a song
Till its telling the way that you feel
Putting words to your story, all the pain and the glory
How can it be written so real
How I wish I knew...
