Brian Holland-Lamont Dozier-Edward Holland, Jr. I just wanna be happy To love and be loved by you But the only time I'm happy Is when I dream of you each night Cause that's the only time You hold me tight in my dreams Is the only time your love is mine. Each time you're near Something happens to my heart You make you feel so unwanted dear And it pains my poor heart If I could feel your sweet caress Then I'd know true happiness. But the only time I'm happy Is when I dream of you each night Cause that's the only time You hold me tight in my dreams Is the only time your love is mine. To me you'll never have Nothing kind or sweet to say Than my whole day To seem too sadly waste away But when the day ends All my happiness begins. But the only time I'm happy Is when I dream of you each night Cause that's the only time You hold me tightly in my dreams Is the only time your love is mine. Life pasts each day Leaving loneliness in my heart You make you feel so unneeded And it hurts my poor heart But there's nothing I'd rather do Than to be happy loving you. But the only time I'm happy Is when I dream of you each night Cause that's the only time You hold me tightly in my dreams Is the only time your love is mine.
