The Only Time I'm Happy - Diana Ross, The Supremes

Brian Holland-Lamont Dozier-Edward Holland, Jr.

I just wanna be happy

To love and be loved by you

But the only time I’m happy

Is when I dream of you each night

Cause that’s the only time

You hold me tight in my dreams

Is the only time your love is mine.

Each time you’re near

Something happens to my heart

You make you feel so unwantedm dear

And it pains my poor heart

If I could feel your sweet caress

Then I’d know true happiness.

But the only time I’m happy

Is when I dream of you each night

Cause that’s the only time

You hold me tight in my dreams

Is the only time your love is mine.

To me you’ll never have

Nothing kind or sweet to say

Than my whole day

To seem too sadly waste away

But when the day ends

All my happiness begins.

But the only time I’m happy

Is when I dream of you each night

Cause that’s the only time

You hold me tightly in my dreams

Is the only time your love is mine.

Life pasts each day

Leaving loneliness in my heart

You make you feel so unneeded

And it hurts my poort heart

But there’s nothing I’d rather do

Than to be happy loving you.

But the only time I’m happy

Is when I dream of you each night

Cause that’s the only time

You hold me tightly in my dreams

Is the only time your love is mine.
