Happy could make my heart sing such a beautiful melody
Funny how love can be when you're very young.
How happy could play my heartstrings
Like a Hollywood symphony
The kind that's showing on TV from back in '51.
It was just like an old-time movie when we'd begun.
And just like an old time movie show it was such a wild affair
Rummiest part is we were the hottest pair.
And just like an old time movie queen
When the wind blew through her hair
Taylor and Monroe could not compare.
With happy in our final love scene
When the hero came to steal the show
I knew my time had come to go – it simply couldn't last.
And just like an old time movie, our day had passed.
But I felt just like an old time movie star
When I used to fire her heart
Cary Grant and Edward G, they had nothing on me.
And she looked just like an old time movie queen
With the whole world at her feet
Taylor and Monroe could not compete.
With happy who played my heartstrings
Like a Hollywood symphony
I wonder if she thinks of me from all that time ago
I'd really like to know.
When it was just like an old time movie,
Just like an old time movie
It was just like an old time movie show.
Funny how love can be when you're very young
We had just begun.
We were very young
We had just begun . . .
I wonder if she thinks of me from all that time ago
I'd really like to know . . .
Really like to know
We had so much fun . . .
Funny how love can be when you're very young.
How happy could play my heartstrings
