Making You Happy

Something must be making you happy, or you wouldn't be smiling all the time.
I know everyone's laughing at this tortured life of mine.
I get up in the morning as the sun is breaking through.
I got the highway calling and a suitcase as good as new.

When the silence that surrounds you makes you think that you are broken.
And all the stars whisper as if you have been chosen.
The saddest moment is in your eyes.

I'm singing to the heavens but I'm mostly singing out of tune.
I find myself alone in this cold damp dirty room.
I thought there was someone walking by the window.
But it was just some flowers blowing in the breeze.
I got no one to run to but at least I got no one I need to  please.

When the silence that surrounds you makes you think that you are broken.
And all the stars whisper as if you have been chosen.
The saddest moment is in your eyes.
The saddest moment is in your eyes.

I'm walking through the early morning. I like to tell myself I'm free.
All the birds have flown away. No ones singing songs for me.
The autumn wind is blowing. The leaves are falling carelessly.
Sitting by your side is where I'll never be.

When the silence that surrounds you makes you think that you are broken.
And all the stars whisper as if you have been chosen.
The saddest moment is in your eyes.
The saddest moment is in your eyes.
The saddest moment is in your eyes.
