[Verse 1]
Show me round the world a few more times
But I don't think I'll find the wonders
Once you've been so down it's hard to feel the highs
Wish that I could see things through your eyes
But I'm not getting any younger
Heartache is a cloud that never leaves my skies

[Pre-Chorus]
This melancholy reverie
It overwhelms me so
Brings back all my memories
And never lets them go
As wistful as the mourning dove
That calls you in the night
You can feel so close to love and yet so far from light

[Chorus]
Saddest happiness
I found a friend in you
The needle to the groove
I know the saddest happiness
I'm gonna let it fly
It's come to signify all I have left of you

[Verse 2]
I can't remember how I felt before
When colours burned so bright and vivid
Simple pleasure came from being by your side
But sorrow knocked upon my door
And now to joy I'm just a witness
I wear my solitude like a badge of pride
[Pre-Chorus]
Rich is the man with a love to treasure
If love has flown, what I have to measure?
So I'm holding on
As wistful as the mourning dove
That calls you in the night
You can feel so close to love and yet so far from light

[Chorus]
Saddest happiness
I found a friend in you
The needle to the groove
I know the saddest happiness
I'm gonna let it fly
It's come to signify all I have left of you

[Bridge]
La felicidad más triste
Encontré un amigo en ti
Como una aguja a una muesca
Conozco la felicidad más triste
Voy a dejarla volar
Viene a significar todo lo que dejé en ti

[Chorus]
Saddest happiness
I found a friend in you
The needle to the groove
I know the saddest happiness
I'm gonna let it fly
It's come to signify all I have left of you
Saddest happiness
I found a friend in you
The needle to the groove
I know the saddest happiness
I'm gonna let it fly
It's come to signify all I have left of you
