Happiness - Whistler
You rest your heart you rest your head
You have the softest bed
You need it's familiarity
It's very nice You like the warmth
You've been in other beds before
But disregard their similarity
You may be bored
The only flaw
As far as you can see
And when that calm descends
It's almost as good as happiness
When that calm descends
It's almost as good as happiness
You drift away well no one said
That you should look ahead
You're not supposed to lie there all day long
It's a love that you maintain
There's none of it in vain
These easy sacrifices are not wrong
Though they're ignored
You're forgotten
But you're not gone
And when that calm descends
It's almost as good as happiness
When that calm descends
It's almost as good as happiness
Then one day when she has gone
And you can love no one
It may be even easier that way
To lie alone and watch the sky
Or watch the world go by
To pass the time that passes anyway
And when that calm descends
It's almost as good as happiness
When that calm descends
It's almost as good as happiness
Almost as good as happiness
Almost as good as happiness
