Lyrics
- Life is a search for happiness
And some of us look all in vain
You went to find your happiness
And filled my heart with pain
Who knows but maybe you were right?
But I’m still wondering tonight
Chorus
Are you happy without me near?
Are you smiling to hide a tear?
Oh, how often I’ve wondered whether
You have forgotten me all together
Are there moments when you regret
That you broke your vow?
Tell me truly, old pal of mine
Are you really happy now?
- If you have found your Paradise
With someone else them I’m content
Glad that I made the sacrifice
You know how much it meant
I only hope for your own sake
You haven’t made a mistake
