Song Of The Week July 24 2006 - Happy To Give
© steveperryfans.com, 2006 - 2011, all rights reserved


I was born a believer, played the fool
Lonely dreamer, left to choose
I don't know where the love is, there's a promise undone
Someone's cryin', in a room all alone
Shadows fall, after the hurt is gone
Through it all, we love and we lose

Where is the one, someone who's happy (happy to give)
Happy to be with you, it's here you belong, with someone
Who's happy (happy to give) happy to give you love

A song for the singer, one book of dreams
Take this heartache, away from me
A page in a story, romance untold
Sharing secrets we call our own
Shadows fall, after the hurt is gone
Through it all, we love and we lose

Where is the one, someone who's happy (happy to give)
Happy to be with you, it's where you belong, with someone
Who's happy (happy to give) happy to give you love

Happy, happy, oh happy
(Happy to give), ooh happy to give
Oh somebody's happy to give you love,
Your love, your love, oh yeah

(Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain)

This song of the week can be heard on Raised On Radio.

"Perry cut this number three times. 'He was obsessed by that song,' remembered Cain. 'It was his pet song.' Cain also called the song his finest vocal performance. The track came from a 'soundtrack-type' composition Cain had been working on during the influence of Vangelis that Perry nailed with a melody almost immediately on Cain playing it for him. 'Of course, it was our lives we were writing about,' said Cain. Never played live by the band, the track turned up years later on the soundtrack to the film North Shore."
