My Happiness
Words & Music by Betty Peterson & Borney Bergantine, 1933Recorded by Connie Francis, 1958 (#2)
D D7 G G/F# G/E
Evening shadows make me blue
G/B A7 D D6
When each weary day is through;
D Cdim Em7 A7 G/B A7 A7+5 D Cdim A7
How I long to be with you, my hap - pi - ness.
A7+5 G G/F# G/E
Every day I rem - I - nisce,
G/B A7 D D6
Dreaming of your tender kiss,
D Cdim Em7 A7 G/B A7 A7+5 D G D DM7 D7
Always thinking how I miss my hap - pi - ness.
Bridge:
G G/F# Em7
A million years, it seems,
D Fdim D
Have gone by since we shared our dreams;
E E7
But I'll hold you again,
G G/F# G/B A7
There'll be no blue mem - o - ries then.
A7-5 G G/ G/E
Whether skies are gray or blue,
G/B A7 D D6
Any place on earth will do,
D Cdim Em7 A7 G/B A7 A7+5 D G Gdim D
Just as long as I'm with you, my hap - pi - ness.
It took me years to find out that a huge number of Connie Francis' hits from this era were re-makes of songs first released a generation or more earlier. I'm told this was because she was heavily influenced by her father to record songs that had "made it" before.
