to be happy now lyrics

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 tracing 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, it'll 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
