Lyrics[]
Het lopen door straten, alleen zonder doel
Het stilletjes praten, alleen in 't gewoel
Het kijken naar mensen, dat maakt me blij
Dat heet dan gelukkig zijn
Een deur die plots opengaat
Dat heet dan gelukkig zijn
Waardoor je weer hopen gaat
Dat maakt je blij
Maakt je blij, maakt je blij
Dat heet dan gelukkig zijn
't Gevoel niet alleen te zijn
Dat heet dan gelukkig zijn
Om dan met zijn twee te zijn
When moving or dreaming, when running along
I'm feeling like singing... like singing a song
When walking beside you, I can't go wrong
So could it be happiness
This feeling I get from you?
So could it be happiness?
I can't get enough of you
Being so near
Dear, so near, oh so near
So could it be happiness
This feeling I get from you?
So could it be happiness?
I can't get enough of you
So could it be happiness
This feeling I get from you?
So could it be happiness?
So could it be happiness?[1]
The walking through streets, alone without target
The softly talking, alone in the bustle
The looking at people, that makes me happy
So that's called being happy
A door that opens suddenly
So that's called being happy
It makes you hope again
That makes you happy
Makes you happy, makes you happy
So that's called being happy
The feeling of not being alone
So that's called being happy
To be together then
When moving or dreaming, when running along
I'm feeling like singing... like singing a song
When walking beside you, I can't go wrong
So could it be happiness
This feeling I get from you?
So could it be happiness?
I can't get enough of you
Being so near
Dear, so near, oh so near
So could it be happiness
This feeling I get from you?
So could it be happiness?
I can't get enough of you
So could it be happiness
This feeling I get from you?
So could it be happiness?
So could it be happiness?
