The sun is shining down, I feel the light
Fleeing from the daily 9 to 5
In the park until it's dark
We've somehow lost our way
But why don't we pretend to be
Happy for a day
Happy for a day
The air is cooling down, another fall
Our stories running out, we've heard them all
Scarlet wine at half past 9
Drink our thoughts away
But why don't we pretend to be
Happy for a day
Happy for a day
The rain is pouring down my windowsill
I'm drunk and I'm alone, I feel you still
Come to me so gently
You don't have to stay
But why don't we pretend to be
Happy for a day
Happy for a day
But why don't we pretend to be
Happy for today
