Stephen Sondheim - Happiness lyrics

[CLARA] I'm so happy I'm afraid I'll die Here in your arms What would you do If I died Like this Right now Here in your arms? That we ever should have met Is a miracle [GIORGIO] No, inevitable— [CLARA] Then inevitable, yes But I confess It was the look— [GIORGIO] The look? [CLARA] The sadness in your eyes That day When we glanced At each other in the park [GIORGIO] We were both unhappy [CLARA] Unhappiness can be seductive [GIORGIO] You pitied me [BOTH] How quickly pity leads to love [CLARA] All this happiness Merely from a glance in the park So much happiness So much love [GIORGIO] I thought I knew what love was [CLARA] I wish we might have met so much sooner I could have given you— [GIORGIO] I thought I knew what love was [CLARA] —My youth [GIORGIO] I thought I knew how much I could feel [CLARA] All the time we lost... [GIORGIO] I didn't know what love was [CLARA] I've never known what love was [GIORGIO] But now— [CLARA] And now— [BOTH] — I do It's what I feel with you The happiness I feel with you [CLARA] So much happiness Happening by chance in a park Surely, this is happiness No one else has ever felt before! [GIORGIO] You are so beautiful... Not by chance By necessity By the sadness that we saw in each other. [BOTH] Just another love story That's what they would claim Another simple love story Aren't all of them the same? [CLARA] No, but this is more We feel more! [BOTH] This is so much more! Like every other love story Some say happiness Comes and goes Then this happiness Is a kind of happiness No one really knows [GIORGIO] I thought I knew what love was [CLARA] I'd only heard what love was [GIORGIO] I thought it was no more than a name for yearning [CLARA] I thought it was what kindness became [GIORGIO] I'm learning [CLARA] I thought where there was love there was shame [GIORGIO] That with you [CLARA] But with you [BOTH] There's just happiness [CLARA] Endless happiness... (spoken) What? [GIORGIO, spoken] I've been transferred to the Fourth Brigade Oh, Clara, please don't look so sad [CLARA, spoken] You're the one that makes me happy [GIORGIO] God, you are so beautiful I love to see you in the light Clear and beautiful, memorize Every inch Every part of you To take with me [CLARA, spoken] Giorgio... [GIORGIO] Your feet so soft As if they'd never touched the ground [CLARA, spoken] I must go... [GIORGIO] Your skin so white, so pure, so delicate Your smell so sweet, your breathe so warm I will summon you in my mind I'm painting you indelibly on my mind [CLARA] Let me go [GIORGIO] We must fill every moment [CLARA] All this happiness ended by a word in the dark [GIORGIO] Oh my love, oh my darling [CLARA] So much happiness wasn't meant to last [GIORGIO] I am here I am with you I am yours [CLARA] I never knew what love was [GIORGIO] Your skin Your silken hair Your breasts, your lips I want you every minute of my life I will always be here [CLARA] I always thought I didn't deserve it I didn't know what love was I don't know how I'll live when you're gone! [CLARA] I don't know how I'll live Giorgio! Don't leave me
