Bruce Springsteen - Happy Lyrics






Some need gold and some need diamond rings
Or a drug to take away the pain that living brings
A promise of a better world to come
When whatever here is done
I don't need that sky of blue babe
All I know's since I found you, I'm
Happy when I'm in your arms
Happy, darling, come the dark
Happy when I taste your kiss
I'm happy in a love like this

There's a house upon a distant hill
Where you can hear the laughter of children ring
Guardian angels, they watch from above
Watching over the love that they bring
But at night I feel the darkness near
And I awake, I find you near, yeah
I'm happy with you in my arms
Happy with you in my heart
Happy when I taste your kiss
I'm happy in a love like this

In a world of doubt and fear
I wake at night and reach to find you near
Lost in a dream, you caught me as I fell, now
I want more than just a dream to tell

Born in this world, darling, with few days
And trouble never far behind
Man, woman circle each other in a cage
A cage that's been handed down the line
Lost and running 'neath a million dead stars
Tonight let's shed our skins and slip these bars
Happy in each other's arms
Happy, baby, come the dark
Happy in each other's kiss
I'm happy in a love like this

Happy
Happy

  16. M.... S....

    💖💞

  17. M.... R....

    Interesting that the first lines clearly are a "rewrite" of the beginning of "My beautiful reward" - he took those words and went in two different directions with them in these two songs - I like that - because that's how life is anyway..... We can be 'happy' - and still we're always somehow searching for that "beautiful reward".... (for the rest of the Catholics out there: like St. Augustine's "my heart is restless until it rests in you, Lord")

  18. I.... R....

    Thank you, Mr. Springsteen !

  45. M.... H....

    hi there the boss is just wonderful xx

  46. E.... S....

    PJ youare so right love thid song

  47. P.... T....

    From a diehard Bruce fan,one of his most greatest unreleased songs until Tracks CD came out,.it's a hidden gem for the casual fan. One of the best on the Tracks CD.

  48. N.... J....

    Only Bruce Springsteen song I know and love, thanks to a good friend. One of all-time my favourite songs by anyone

  49. L.... C....

    Beer, Juventus, and oof course The Boss

  50. C.... L....

    Here's what is real: Bruce is a superior balladeer. Fans want rock songs but look at the emotional songs that come from him
    that no one else can match!!

    C.... L....

    The Greatest

    C.... L....

    Couldn't agree more.

    C.... L....

    True to that!!

  51. s.... ....

    How and why is this not on an album exactly?

    s.... ....

    The answer may lie in the liner notes to "Tracks." (1998). "Happy" was recorded in 1991. This is from the Tracks liner notes (Springsteen's words): "...my albums became a series of choices – what to include, what to leave out? I based my decisions on my creative point of view at the moment – the subject I was trying to focus on, something musical or emotional I was trying to express...One of the results of working like this was that a lot of music, including some of my favorite things, remained unreleased...
    I'm glad to finally be able to share this music; here are some of the ones that got away."

    I wouldn't be surprised if "Happy" was one his "favorite things" that he refers to here. What an absolutely gorgeous song. As always in Springsteen's music, the sense of hope is tempered by harsh realities that always lurk beneath the surface.

    Springsteen is very underrated as a balladeer. "Sad Eyes" is another beauty that wasn't released as part of an "album," and there are many many more.

  52. K.... P....

    the boss has got a real talent.. thanks to him.

  53. S.... M....

    Gorgeous, how could this be left off an album.

  54. H.... i....

    I remember sending this song to my love in the grace that it was written. We are not together anymore, life has a way of pushing you off track. Still sending this out...

  58. V.... M....

    E LINDA A MÚSICA

  59. P.... M....

    Una maravilla para el alma

  60. o.... ....

    to call this song beautiful would be such a gross understatement !!!

  61. M.... ....

    Wonderful song

  62. R.... ....

    All love is born of a spark of Hope...
    Hope is the life line we all cling to, each and everyday... Hope is the last thing we let go of in this life....

  63. A.... P....

    Bruce,listening to  your songs and your voice makes me happy. Thank you very much for all the good times you have given me and continue giving..

    “I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. 
    That myth is more potent than history. 
    That dreams are more powerful than facts. 
    That hope always triumphs over experience. 
    That laughter is the only cure for grief. 
    And I believe that love is stronger than death." Robert Fulghum

    Love is the one miracle Heaven gives us every opportunity to perform. The miracle comes in that it rewards all that are involved, and it's effects echo forever in eternity

    Please Be Well, and Stay Strong on Your Journeys, Will ..

  65. I.... S....

    you, Americans, musta be very proud to have such a talented artists as Bruce. 

    I.... S....

    Of course, and I used to say he is an American Treasure, but that's parochial and selfish. He's so much more than that. He's a Human Treasure. His greatness is such that all of human kind can bask in the miracle that has resulted in the music of Bruce Springsteen.

    I.... S....

    He is the every mans hero. He is real. He tells it like it is. life is tough. A talented artist with a gift of revealing ones soul and endeaver we all can relate to. I am proud of him because he is from my old home, the Great State of New Jersey.

  66. H.... S....

    My dad loves Bruce and I've grown up listening to his music and I love him as well ! I have so many fond memories of Bruce being played around the house growing up ! I'm getting married soon and I would love to dance with my dad to this song (it's my favorite Bruce song, and my dad loves it too) Thoughts please on if it's an appropriate father daughter dance song ????

    H.... S....

    +Hanna Smith 8 months later, you're probably married now.I'm sure it was a beautiful ceremony, and I know whatever decision you made, it was the right one for you.Best wishes

    H.... S....

    I'm getting married in July 16 and as you my bride grew up with her dad loving Bruce. I only heard this song recently for the 1st time but it's beautiful and she is going to have the 1st dance with her dad to this.....I'm happy :)

    H.... S....

    my Dad hates Bruce because he is a Democrat. calls him a fucking liberal it's sad. i see the almost full moon rise in the east glad that I'm me and love Bruce. I still love my Dad. hey, to each his own.

    H.... S....

    what your dad forgets is Bruce is human

    H.... S....

    @Jason Barbush My husband doesn't like him because of the way his music sounds. I tell him you have your kind of music and I have my kind and he came way first then you...I tell him that. My kids were raised to his music and they love him..YAYAAH!!

  67. m.... l....

    is this an outtake? from which period?

    m.... l....

    @maurizio longinotti 1992-1993

    m.... l....

    human touch lucky town i think??

    m.... l....

    An outake from Lucky Town

  68. M.... L....

    Very lovely song...really love it

  69. D.... S....

    yes please

  70. t.... ....

    another track i could here roy orbison singing

  71. A.... M....

    thanks for posting

  72. w.... ....

    From Brucebase:
    " Recorded January 18, 1992 at A&M Studios, Los Angeles. Springsteen handles all guitars and lead vocals and his 2-man backing band is Roy Bittan (keyboards) and Shawn Pelton (drums). Bittan is credit as a co-producer of this recording. Apparently Bruce wrote this following the December 30, 1991 birth of his daughter in Los Angeles."

    one of the big  Bruce ballads!!!!, thx so much Canal, so enjoyable!

  74. g.... o....

    j'adore cette chanson me rappel quelqu'un de très chère je pense toujours a elle .elle me manques 

  75. j.... ....

    Springsteen is the greatest songwriter ever as far as I am concerned....this was an outtake for God's sake

    j.... ....

    johnnyM809
    To leave this off an album is almost criminal and testament to Bruces immense talent

    j.... ....

    I AGREE !

    j.... ....

    The Greatest

    j.... ....

    johnnyM809 I certainly agree

    j.... ....

    Without a doubt.

  76. c.... ....

    Amazing that Bruce has never performed this live.  Tracks proved that his garbage would be other people's gold.

    c.... ....

    I've always said that about Bruce. He could make a career on his unreleased songs alone that would still blow other artists' top material out of the water.

    c.... ....

    @TheCorrectAnswer56 Prawda.

    c.... ....

    That’s absolutely true. I remember listening to my Springsteen bootlegs in the late 1970’s wondering why these songs aren’t on released albums. Some great songs didn’t make the cut......at least to his standards.

  77. P.... ....

    The last verse of this gets me every time...goosebumps.

  78. D.... S....

    one of his best tunes ever .

  79. C.... H....

    Beautiful

  80. A.... T....

    To anyone who's wondering, this song is from Bruce's Box Set of unreleased songs and demo's, called "Tracks." Fantastic song from one of the best songwriters of all time.

    A.... T....

    The finest songwriter

    A.... T....

    Too bad he shafted Clarence and Danny what an asshole

  81. b.... s....

    Sei il Colosseo della musica

  82. j.... ....

    For any other artist/songwriter this would be their greatest and most famous song of their career...for Springsteen it's just an outtake which he eventually releases years and years later. He is just the best there has ever been

  83. F.... M....

    Just Amazing what he sings

  84. F.... M....

    My favrioute Song

  85. B.... A....

    Whicl album or era is this from?

    B.... A....

    From the box-set Tracks released late ‘90s. It was originally recorded around 1990 -1991.

  86. M.... Z....

    ESTA NOCHE BOSS ESTA NOCHE !!!!

  87. �.... �....

    good good

  88. N.... C....

    Happy forever...

  89. T.... M....

    this is just another reason why he is such a gifted artist..........his words touch so many. He is my entire bucket list. :) lol

  90. T.... K....

    this was my wedding song

  91. B.... J....

    Piękny utwór,pozdrawiam.

  92. t.... ....

    yes he was
    great underrated track too

  93. t.... ....

    could hear roy orbison singing this one

  94. M.... ....

    me too.

  95. M.... ....

    Our second wedding song. 12 years ago today I married my soulmate. Only took me 34 years to find him.

  96. A.... O....

    Love this!

  97. a.... q....

    the best
