When Will Happiness Find Me Again? Lyrics

The country was nothing but trees
So I went to the city one day
Down at the night club
I met my true love
I just happened to pass by her way

The fountains they sounded like rain
And the pigeons around us were cooing
I believe in the fates
I thought they were great
Till that girl left my poor heart in ruins
When will happiness find me again?

She picked up the phone
The bombs were deployed
The people they groaned
The world was destroyed

Should I stay here and stumble around
Or head for the woods far away?
I can’t make up my mind
I’m drunk all the time
When will happiness find me again?

Now I’m drunk all the time
The sun never shines
Clouds hang low on the ruins
When will happiness find me again?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Surprised no one has commented on this yet.

This song is so sad, but I love it. The lyrics are pretty straightforward. Reminds me of a friend of mine.
