she shuts her eyes
he says good-bye
she steps into the storm

she’s leaving home
he’s all alone
she can’t take anymore, she closes the door.

if i could let her in she’d see
but there are words that i can’t speak.

i know we can see it through
i’d give anything to you
i just want to see you happy.

i’d trade tomorrow for today
i’d even give up yesterday
i just want to see you happy, i just want to see you happy.

he chokes down his tears
she hides her fears
there are things they’ll never say

he’ll grow old by himself
she’ll find someone else
to ease all her pain, to take her away.

i can’t be what he wants me to be
but if he’d listen he would see

i know we can see it through
i’d give anything to you
i just want to see you happy.

i’d trade tomorrow for today
i’d even give up yesterday
i just want to see you happy, i just want to see you happy

of all the things i still regret
it’s the love i’ve left unsaid

i know we can see it through
i’d give anything to you
i just want to see you happy.

i’d trade tomorrow for today
i’d even give up yesterday
i just want to see you happy.

and if i lived a thousand years
I would cry a million tears just to see you happy.

i’d trade tomorrow for today
i’d even give up yesterday
i just want to see you happy,
