(Gordy / Knight)

as recorded by The Marvelettes
1961


(happy days, happy days, happy days, happy days)

You're going away,
Won't ask you to stay;
Though this is the end,
We're gonna still be friends!

Woe-oh, happy days, (happy days)
I wish for you (happy days)
Happy happy days, (happy days)
I wish for you. (happy days)

Thankyou for the picture,
I'm smiling, can't you see?
Thanks for the hours 
You gave to me!

Woe-oh, happy days, (happy days)
I wish for you (happy days)
Happy happy days, (happy days)
I wish for you. (happy days)

I know my darling,
You found someone new;
Woe-oh my darling,
I love only you!

Goodbye goodbye, (bye-bye, oh, bye-bye)
I tried not to cry! (bye-bye, oh, bye-bye)
All that's left for me to do (bye-bye, oh, bye-bye)
Is cherish memories of you! (bye-bye, oh, bye bye)

Woe, happy days, (bye-bye, oh, bye-bye)
Happy happy days, (bye-bye, oh, bye-bye)
Happy happy days, (bye-bye, oh, bye-bye)
I wish for you. (bye-bye)
I tried not to (bye-bye)...
