No more champagne,
the sparkler went out.
You alone, me alone
celebration's over,
it's the end of the party
and there's a grey dawn.
Where's that yesterday
we must come up with?
Happiness, happiness
now with a toast
we wish you
now and forever
peace and love, where friendship reigns.
Happiness, happiness
while we beg
for hope to change,
never letting dismay take over,
and so we win.
And when I see
the world that is coming,
new at last,
it will come
arising from the ashes.
Wrongful people
pretending to be right,
you can see them
dragging their feet of lead
walking
not knowing where they're going.
Happiness, happiness
now with a toast
we wish you
now and forever peace and love, where friendship reigns.
Happiness, happiness
while we beg
for hope to change,
never letting dismay take over,
and so we win.
Now I think I understand
that dreams are unfaithful,
when you die
dreams are just
confetti and paper,
it's the past time.
And in the years to come
who could predict
what the future will bring,
what is left for us to live.
Happiness, happiness
now with a toast
we wish you
now and forever peace and love, where friendship reigns.
Happiness, happiness
while we beg
for hope to change,
never letting dismay take over,
and so we win.
