As recorded by ANNETTE HANSHAW:

Life is a search for happiness
And some of us look all in vain
You went to buy your happiness
And filled my heart with pain
Who knows, maybe you were right 
But still I'm wond'ring tonight

Are you happy without me near
Are you smiling to hide a tear
Oh, how often I've wondered whether
You have forgotten me altogther

Are there moments when you regret
That you broke your vow
Tell me truly,  old pal of mine
Are you really happy now

(Instrumental Break)

Are you happy without me near
Are you smiling to hide a tear
Oh, how often I've wondered whether
You have forgotten me altogther

Are there moments when you regret
That you broke your vow
Tell me truly,  old pal of mine
Are you really happy now

That's all!
