Being happy is not for ever



Being happy is not for ever
Time is going by
Why
Being happy is not for ever
Why its not stronger
Why no longer
Being happy is not for ever
It is far away
And I wanted it will stay
Being happy is not for ever
Till the end of life my dear
Let us drink some beer
Being happy is not for ever
After drinking beer
There comes a tear
Being happy is not for ever
Why did you left me
I miss you my dear
Let me hear
