Lyrics

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it’s only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together

If I should call you up, (call you up) invest a dime
And you say you belong to me, (ease my mind) and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, (very fine) so very fine
So happy together

I can’t see me lovin’ nobody but you
For all my life
When you’re with me, baby, the skies’ll be blue
For all my life

Me and you, (you and me) and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, (had to be) it had to be
The only one for me is you, (you for me) and you for me
So happy together

I can’t see me lovin’ nobody but you
For all my life
When you’re with me, baby the skies’ll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

So happy together
How is the weather?
So happy together
We’re happy together

So happy together
Happy together
So happy together
So happy together
