Dirk Holstege - Happy Faces Lyrics

I wish I could get to know you
I need somebody to love me, too
When I see everyone's happy faces
I don't know where my life is going to

I want to go out dancing for fun
I'd like to laugh like everyone
When I see everyone's happy faces
I wonder where is my special someone

I like to sit and converse, to chat
And go on long walks after that
When I see everyone's happy faces
My world seems just so empty, so flat

Someone sits at the bus stop crying there
Her tears have soaked her long black hair
Her makeup runs all down her face, yeah
I talk with her so she knows someone cares

She says she's sick of being all alone
She's tired of being all on her own
To fit in with all those happy faces
She will make her heart a heart of stone

A bus comes, and she gets right on it
But I just stay on the bench where I sit
I hate the look of loss on my face. yeah
I feel more sad than I care to admit

I wish I could get to know you
I need somebody to love me, too
When I see everyone's happy faces
I don't know where my life is going to

The bus door re-opens, and she looks on out
She says "Do you want to just hang out?"
You can see from my happy face, yeah
My answer was never in doubt

I hope to get to know you
You need someone to love you, too
When I see our happy faces,
I feel hope again, and so do you
