Two Tickets to Happienss

It's gotten so cold, so bitter and bleak You warm yourself — brandy with coffee January slush in my heart — so to speak In your headphones — van Beethoven, softly You're angry at how the sky's gone gray You mope and you pity your fate With me, like an enemy — come what may You grumble: "Your love doesn't heat — it's too late" What if we take a running leap into summer Dive like off a cliff into deep? To spite every trouble, every downer Forget all the cold, all the weep? Cherry-and-strawberry flavor Frozen on tender lips — so true The source of hope — a life-saver A love that washes my heart through Or maybe — I'll become the wind? Asleep in your hair — untamed, undone That very glow, that fire pinned Inside your languid, burning sun Let's buy two tickets to "Happiness" — there Where the sun gently kisses the skin Where music flows onto your wrist like a prayer A heartbeat — from deep within There — where two lives, with a single pulse beating Are woven in perfect tune Where feelings with passion are fiery and fleeting Where we become each other's moon You mope and you pity your fate — oh well In your headphones — van Beethoven, low Let's hurry — escape into summer's sweet spell With the taste of cherry love — let's go Or maybe — you'll become my summer? Careless and playful, drunk on delight My golden dawn — the late-night hummer A chestnut tree flowering in garden light Cherry-and-strawberry flavor Frozen on tender lips — so true The source of hope — a life-saver A love that washes my heart through Or maybe — I'll become the wind? Asleep in your hair — untamed, undone That very glow, that fire pinned Inside your languid, burning sun
