We were happy, we were happy, we were happy once

Sometimes I play a game 
To see if I still love you 
Pretend we never met 
And I know nothing of you 

When looking at your face 
Would I still see the promise 
And would you still choose me? 
Come on now let's be honest 

It takes a dark and lonely sky 
To see the brightest shining light 
You can't deny 

We were happy, we were happy, we were happy once 
We were happy, we were happy, we were happy once 
Not long ago, not long ago, not so long ago

Today I caught a glimpse 
Of you around the corner 
I saw something I'd forgotten 
And I loved you more than ever 

It takes a dark and hopeless night 
To see the starlight in your eyes 
I can't deny 

We were happy, we were happy, we were happy once 
We were happy, we were happy, we were happy once 
Not long ago, not long ago, not so long ago...
