Lyrics

  1. Happiness is the goal of ev’ryone
    Like the rest, I want my place in the sun
    So I’ll let the whole world know
    It’s not confidential
    In my search for happiness
    You alone are essential

Chorus
I don’t want the rainbow’s end
I don’t need another friend
After all, you’re all I’m after now
I won’t care what comes my way
If I share your love each day
After all, you’re all I’m after now
(Sweetheart)
I don’t want a million dear
For it is plain to see
You’re one in a million dear
And you’re the one for me
I don’t crave the Hall of Fame
But I’ll slave to change your name
After all, you’re all I’m after now

  1. Tho’ the skies above are stormy, dear
    I won’t mind if I know you’re for me, dear
    Your caress brings happiness
    Tho’ the whole world’s gloomy
    You’re my secret of success
    Heaven sure sent you to me
