As the world is ever spinning
Time and troubles have no end, no beginning
Happy days sing of a sadness
Dreams we build our lives upon, soon are gone
Everyone can taste the soul
So learn into the past, or tomorrow
Never knowing that the answer to this futile game we play
Is today

The happy days are here and now
Now is the time to laugh and live, drink all the wine
Sing all the songs that live can give
Our yesterdays are death and gone
Tomorrow lives so far away
So be alive and think of now as the happy days

Have you seen the children playing ?
Have you taken time to hear, what they're saying ?
Do you know the names of flowers ?
Do you know what love can bring ? Do you sing ?

Every day is what you make it
Either you have love for life, or you fake it
Make the most of every minute
Take each moment in your hand, while you can
The happy days are here and now
Now is the time to love and live
Drink all the wine, sing all the songs that life can give
Our yesterdays are death and gone
Tomorrow lives so far away
So be alive and think of now as the happy days
