Bill Withers - Hope She'll Be Happier Lyrics






Maybe the lateness of the hour
Makes me seem bluer than I am
But in my heart there is a shower,
I hope she'll be happier with him.

Maybe the darkness of the hour
Makes me seem lonelier than I am,
But over the darkness I have no power,
Hope she'll be happier with him.

I can't believe that she don't want to see me,
We lived and loved with each other so long.
I never thought that she really would leave me,
But she's gone.

Maybe the lateness of the hour
Makes me seem bluer than I am,
But in my heart there is a shower,
Hope she'll be happier with him.

Bill Withers Hope She'll Be Happier Comments
  1. N.... S....

    Watching Bill Withers interview brought me here. I’m happy but his lyrics are so real and relatable that ... I guess that explains why he’s famous!
    My husband and I really enjoyed his interview last night!

  2. C.... t....

    This was the first sad song I heard as a child that made me cry. I had to be 7 or 8 and my mom would play Bill Withers while cooking and cleaning. Thank you mom for a soulful child.

  3. k.... ....

    AMAZING!!

    Maybe the lateness of the hour

    Makes me seem bluer than I am

    But in my heart there is a shower,

    I hope she'll be happier with him.



    Maybe the darkness of the hour

    Makes me seem lonelier than I am,

    But over the darkness I have no power,

    Hope she'll be happier with him.



    I can't believe that she don't want to see me,

    We lived and loved with each other so long.

    I never thought that she really would leave me,

    But she's gone.



    Maybe the lateness of the hour

    Makes me seem bluer than I am,

    But in my heart there is a shower,

    Hope she'll be happier with him.

  12. L.... K....

    My broken heart brought me here in 2018 💔💔💔

  13. S.... ....

    Sweetback ft. Leroy Osbourne did beautiful with this song. 😍💜

  14. T.... C....

    .......fuck......

  15. L.... K....

    My ex can't even stomach this song she knows I loved her and she did me so wrong I still love and miss her we have a daughter together but I guess her jail bird ex was in her heart not me and the family I thought we were trying to build now of course she won't let me see our daughter but I'm staying strong going through court wish me luck guys 😥

    L.... K....

    L.... K....

  16. S.... F....

    Hauntingly beautiful

  17. M.... b....

    Maybe the lateness of the hour
    Makes me seem bluer than I am...

  18. J.... H....

    This song reduces me to mush. I pray to god that I never have to live this pain. Mr. Withers, you have patantened soul.

  19. N.... h....

    Your love is absolute. There is neither a positive or negative value. You'll always be in my heart, deep and haunting.

  20. G.... M....

    Sweetback's version does this incredible justice. One of the few times I enjoy the remake more than the original. But hats off to Withers for creating it.

    G.... M....

    Gary McMichael yeah, I beg to differ. I listened to half of sweetback’s rendition. Surely it WAS good. But it’s a matter of taste.
    The interview Bill Withers did he spoke about slick glossy work. But his is simple. And would probably be someone else’s demo’s. But my answer to that is, but look at allllllllllll of us who loves his simple music! I’ll bet we have him post up in a mansion on the ocean somewhere.
    It’s just a matter of taste. Your mention is good too for a different flavor.

  21. D.... R....

    Love can really suck sometimes

  22. P.... F....

    Wow, this is the first time that i have heard this song and it has been on repeat all day!!!! :)

  23. A.... J....

  24. T.... G....

    His voice is simplicity personified..poignant..haunting.... his songs masterfully executed...I'm in love....

  25. D.... G....

    I often go speechless when I listen to Brother Bill Withers.Unspeakable love.I love every single one of his songs."Over the darkness I have no Power"
    I can't believe She won't see me.
    Maybe the lateness of the hour makes me seem Bluer Than I am.But in my heart thete is a Shower"..such a beautiful ..Shes gone....man.This is heartbreak..and the lullabye of sorrow..that still triumphs.!!
    Bill Withers I love you..you make me a believer..everytime I hear or see you.U Baaaadddd.Blessing Bro..long lif e..and thanks.yo here!!

    D.... G....

    I agree!

  26. J.... H....

    Sometimes words just don't justify. I have been in this position, and it hurts. Like a fucking knife it hurts.

  27. r.... ....

  31. k.... s....

    we have all been there ,Bill just put it in to words , He is the MAN

  32. S.... T....

    I like it

  33. G.... L....

    Everything that this song says is exactly what I'm feeling. Makes me want to sit in a corner and die, but not today. Today I will do more, I won't let that happen, ever.

    G.... L....

    Yo brother! How are you holding up?? Hope all is well!

    G.... L....

    @F Dozi I've met a girl and I've never been happier ❤️

    G.... L....

    Are u dead already man??

    G.... L....

    @Gary McMichael fake ass

    G.... L....

    @Gary McMichael she's a ho

  34. T.... ....

    Une ode crépusculaire qui m'a toujours donné la chair de poule, avec son sublime message de compersion (être capable de se réjouir du bonheur de l'autre sans qu'on y participa ou goûte soi-même). La reprise magistrale de Dayna Kurtz n'est hélas pas disponible ici !...

  35. A.... T....

    The group Sweetback redid this song in '98. They did a pretty good job in my opinion.

    A.... T....

    agreed....1996

    A.... T....

    Adam Thompson I agree

    A.... T....

    Yup. I almost like their version better

  36. S.... D....

    j'adore... 😍😍

  37. T.... Z....

    ...goddamn...

  38. J.... ....

    Blue Collar Bill was a Musical Genius

    J.... ....

    He still is...

    J.... ....

    +Jsimm100 He sure was and is AMEN

    J.... ....

    +Jsimm100 Still Bill

    J.... ....

    Jsimm100 totally agree

    J.... ....

    Wonder if my ex feels this way for me.

  39. j.... ....

    amazing love this song

  40. a.... H....

    fkg amazing

  41. B.... ....

    So. Much. Soul...

  42. R.... C....

    Wow. Just heard this song for the first time. Brilliant! :)

  43. V.... ....

    Damn it! He's the best.

  44. C.... M....

    this song is pure emotion.  James Blake started his BBC 1 mix wit this track

    C.... M....

    +Chris Miller and now he released a song inspired in this one.

    C.... M....

    +Juan Carlos isn't that crazy? What a coincidence I forgot I posted this

  45. K.... A....

    Still Bill

  46. M.... M....

    Sweetback got a nice version of this.

    M.... M....

    @Mathew Martin Sweetbacks is better.

    M.... M....

    I've heard it. Too much instrumentation for me. I like the rawness of just Bill and a guitar. It's like he was going thru it late one night, picked up his guitar and that simple melody is what he played and those words just came out. Not too complicated just him crafting an emotional classic.

    M.... M....

    Mathew Martin yes it’s nice. But it’s a matter of taste.

  47. J.... B....

    You have to  recognise who trully  loves you,  not just wants you  ''  LOVE '' not just basic animal desire.

  48. J.... B....

    If   there is  LOVE , you  do not  need  hope.

  49. M.... ....

    Old Bill knows heartache

  50. s.... l....

    Same here....WOW!

  51. M.... B....

    I had forgotten about this one. I always felt that the most beautiful songs were the sad ones, even though I was too young to be having such problems.

  52. M.... B....

    One of my favorite albums back in the day. especially Grandma's Hands.

    M.... B....

    Marlen Brown I agree! I just love his lyrics!!

  53. G.... W....

    Check it out on Bill Withers' Live at Carnegie Hall. I think that version is sweeter.

  54. M.... ....

    10 years together in July... and I found out yesterday that she's been foolin' around. I love this song but I hate the fact that I'm livin' it. What a f*cking waste.

    M.... ....

    Me too lmao

    M.... ....

    if its any consolation she spread my buttcheeks & went for the milkdud also

    M.... ....

    MrT8T3R yeah. A bitch!

  55. A.... ....

    The Sweetback version is nice too.

    A.... ....

    Aganazee it is

  56. s.... ....

    Damn never heard this song til GOVT MULE covered it at show last week,,

  57. M.... ....

    Watched Soul Power the other day and heard this song. Wow.....very powerful, very melancholy, very moving. I've listened to it every day since then. Thanks for posting!

  58. P.... ....

    Flipping through the channels last night, this song was on. Stopped me dead in my tracks.

  59. m.... l....

    Awesome

  60. C.... M....

    I feel this way about someone who I feel has impacted my life in a grand yet subtle way.. I love him, and as young as I am, it's a love from inside. While we're not in love, I hope he'll find someone that he'll be happy with, happier than happy. I think of him every single day, and I know he'd never feel the same, but its why I wish him so much beauty on his path. it's crazy how music is so powerful. Love Bill :) xx

    C.... M....

    facking lovely thing to say and to feel

    C.... M....

    Me too. I love somebody I could never be with. But I wish him all the happiness and contentment I have with my spouse now Times 3.

  61. Z.... C....

    oh my god, this is simply the best "i miss you" song of all time. how could I have been all these years without listening to this guy!!!!!!!!

  62. J.... S....

    I have loved Bill since I was a young girl too. First I bought the LPs, then replaced with CDs and now I can watch them live on You Tube! Must get the dvd Still Bill. This man is a legend - such soul.

  63. m.... ....

    Powerful! Thanks!

  64. R.... G....

    I HAVE LOVED THIS MAN'S SOULFULL MUSIC SENSE I WAS A YOUNG MAN,DAMN IT JUST SPEKS LOUDLY TO SOUL,THANK YOU MR.WITHERS

  66. Y.... Z....

    Thank you for posting this song up on YouTube. It's been ages since I've been searching for this song. Brings back some memories, that only this song can make me relate to
