Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom bom

I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said that it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.

I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said that it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.

All my life I was alone,
Didn’t think I’d find my part,
Now I see there’s joy inside your arms.

Every day I searched for the star,
That never was in the sky,
And now I see this star is on earth.

And I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said that I would be -that’s
what you told me yea
If I gave you a chance to come inside my life.

(I am) And I am happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way it will always be -that’s the way
it will always be
Ever since the day you came inside of my life.

Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.

Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.

Dum…

Dum…

Yea

And I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said that it would be -baby that’s
what you told me yea
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
-bring you inside my life

I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said it would be
-woa that’s what you said it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.

Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom bom

Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.

Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom

Bom bom bom I love you.

Happier than the morning sun
That’s the way you said it would be
-baby that’s what you told me yea
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
-bring you inside my life yea

I’m happier than the stars above
-yea the morning stars above
That’s the way you said that it would be
-that’s what you told me yea
If I should ever bring you inside of my life.

I believe that everyone should be
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happy happy, happy
