Lyrics
Just How Happy
by Dick Groves

You’re the most beautiful girl at the party
I noticed you, I start to wonder, did you notice me
The most beautiful hair, I couldn’t help but stare
What an evening, this promises to be.
I make polite conversation as I chat to the guests
But there is only one thing that is really on my mind
I would love to say, if you are looking my way
May I dance with you, if you would be so kind.

I would love to get to know you
And have the chance to show you
Just how happy, we could be.
I would love to get to know you
And have the chance to show you
Just how happy, we could be.

At last our eyes meet, as I look across the floor
Though my heart has stopped I hear it, asking for more
When I smile I see that you, that you are smiling too
Am I dreaming, or is this too good to be true.

I feel romance is in the air
Tell me if you would like to share
The rest of this evening, with me
I would love to get to know you
And have the chance to show you
Just how happy, we could be.

INSTRUMENTAL

My heart is now pounding, as I offer you champagne
I pluck up the courage, to ask you your name
Your voice is so soft, shivers run down my spine
I know right from the start, that you will be mine.

I feel romance is in the air
Tell me if you would like to share
The rest of this evening, with me
Cause I would love to get to know you
And have the chance to show you
Just how happy, we could be.
Just how happy, just how happy, we could be.
Just how happy, just how happy, we could be.
Just how happy. Just how happy.
Just how happy. Just how happy.
