Being Happy Lyrics by Lori Laitman

0

Of course it was doomed. I know that now
But it ended so quickly, and I was young
I hardly remember that summer in Seattle—
Except for her. The city seems just a rainy backdrop
From the moment I first saw her at the office
I was hooked. I started visiting her floor
I couldn’t work unless I caught a glimpse of her
Once we exchanged glances, but we never spoke
Then at a party we found ourselves alone
We started kissing and ended up in bed
We talked all night. She claimed she had liked me
Secretly for months. I wonder now if that was true
Two weeks later her father had a heart attack
While she was in Chicago, they shut down our division
I was never one for writing letters
On the phone we had less to say each time
And that was it—just those two breathless weeks
Then years of mild regret and intermittent speculation
Being happy is mostly like that. You don’t see it up close
You recognize it later from the ache of memory
And you can’t recapture it. You only get to choose
Whether to remember or forget, whether to feel remorse
Or nothing at all. Maybe it wasn’t really love
But who can tell when nothing deeper ever came along?
