It's a happy kind of sadness when I think of you   And a lonely kind of togetherness when your company's the blues   Now all you love has ended as you left me for someone new   It's a happy kind of sadness when I think of you   Well you're happy when you think of all the good times and the sweet love you had   But you're sad when you want her and she's not there   It's a happy kind of sadness when her love turns cold   Oh I laughed and made jokes about it but there's one joke that I ain't told   Oh how I cried all the nights long if that's so funny why am I so blue   It's a happy kind of sadness when I think of you   [ steel ]   Well you're happy...
