Analysis of Happy Together



Our love is fervent song
We're passion melody
We've loved so very long
It seems like harmony

Our love is a grand coup
We're superb royalty
We've loved so very true
It seems like loyalty

Our love is beyond price
We're even constancy
We've loved so very nice
It seems like ecstasy

Our love is a sweet spree
We're relief fantasy
We've loved so very free
It seems like liberty

Our love is surging swell
We're finest quality
We've loved so very well
It seems like jollity

Our love is boldly strong
We're happy together
We've loved so very long
It seems like forever
