| Happy Together - The Turtles | |
| 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, invest a dime, And you say you belong to me, and ease my mind, Imagine how the world could be 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 will be blue, for all my life. Me for you, and you for me, No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be. The only one for me is you, and you for me, So happy together |
