You Took My Happy Away

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

When you were with me
I was happy (happy-oo-oo)
But you took my happy away 
(Away-ay-oo-oo)
You had to go, leave me lonely
(Lonely-oo-oo)
And my lonely just won't go away 
(A-away-ay-oo-oo)

I told you, I told you
I'm sorry
My sorry gets bigger each day
With you in my arms
I'd be happy (happy-oo-oo)
But you took my happy away

You must know by now
How I need you (need you-ou-ou)
But you treat my need you so wrong 
(So wro-ong-oo-oo)
You must know by now
How I love you (love you-ou-ou)
So don't wait till my love you is gone 
Go-o-ne-oo-oo)

I told you, I told you
I'm sorry
My sorry gets bigger each day
With you in my arms
I'd be happy (happy-oo-oo)
But you took my happy away...
