Happy I am when I see you my friend
Magical stars and knives cut through bars
Promise me now or promise me then
I will always find this old friend
When you come back to town
Please come round
Youâre my teacher, youâre the preacher to my soul
Fill this cup up with a dollop of rock and roll
Tucked in snug in bed at night
When itâs done you do it right
Think about the friends and lovers Iâve left behind
Maybe now theyâre dads or mothers, my God, well,
Iâd love to see them one more time
Happy I am when I see you again
Youâre always away on a well-deserved holiday
Happy I am and I do and I can
With the marmalade jam on the moon
Iâll be landing real soon and here to stay
You can reach her
Youâre the creature who tripped in cool
Fill your cup up with a dollop of her gruel
Never have, but then I might
Iâll track you down when youâre out of sight
Think about the trouble that comes from a little white lie
I put it in a letter, I couldâve said it better
But I never meant it as goodbye
Happy I am though you broke up your band
Into various solo projects, well, who cares
Happy the man at the end of his day
Who can stand up and say heâd a plan
Which he saw to its end
I hope I can
Sitting up in bed at night
I hope my friend is still alright
