In the moments before time starts moving backward   I will feel her hand in the palm of mine   And the cities will return to the field of flowers   And every step we took takes me back in line   And in disarray, you just want to live one more day      'Cause you just want to be happy now   To be happy now   To be happy now      Longing and sorrow   Well we will find you where we are   Smiling down the avenue   And the children, getting younger as we pass   They couldn't make you turn back      'Cause you just want to be happy now   To be happy now   To be happy now      When every fire we sparked was just another blinking out   they're glowing like an ember in the dark      'Cause you just want to be happy now   To be happy now   To be happy now   To be happy now
