 G  A   G       A
In my sensations
              E7
I believe that, I was
D7                          Bm
born with the things that I know
    Em      Am
 I want to talk.
     Dm
Like ev'ry
        Am   Dm          D
Before I, decide what to do

G               Dm
And I fell all over and I
G              Dm
couldn't stand up
G           Dm       G             Dm
I can't be critical, i can't won't stop

Chorus:
              A#
Such a happy day
     D
for me
               A#
Bring a happy day
    D
to me
              A#
Send a happy day
    D
to me
             A#
And a happy day
      D                        G
came to me come to me here it come.

I'm only looking
Feel like my heart has a will of its own
I feel, feel nice inside
Right here
And now it's summer again

The story I told, the story I made up
I was foolin' around but a heart can't stop

Chorus:
Such a happy day for me
Bring that happy day to me
Send that happy day to me
And that happy day come to me,
come to me, here it comes

This boy is in motion
Some density moved right beside me
I want my sentence
Right here
But now I'm far away

A sign was given but many years have passed
It cost a little bit to love you but
a heart can't stop

Chorus:
Such a happy day for me
Bring that happy day to me
Send that happy day to me
And that happy day came to me, come to me,
here it comes
It's alright
