Verse:

Why did I sigh, why did I cry, why did I feel so blue?

No -bod -y cared, no -bod -y shared, wor -ries that I went through;

On -ly gray skies greet -ed my eyes ev -'ry morn when I'd wake;

Is -n't it strange what a big change one lit -tle word will make,

 

Chorus:

That's why I'm Hap -py, my ba -by just said "yes"

Oh boy I'm Hap -py to -day.

I said I'm hap -py, I'm go -ing "bugs", I guess,

That's why I'm act -ing this way

Her lips have told me What I've been long -ing for,

There's noth -ing more I can say,

Ex -cept I'm Hap -py, my ba -by just said "yes",

That's why I'm Hap -py to day.
