The Happening

(album: These Years - 1967)

Hey, life, look at me
I can see the reality
'Cause when you shook me, took me outta my world, I woke up
Suddenly, I just woke up
To the happening
When you find that you left the future behind
'Cause when you've got a tender love that you don't care of
Then you better beware of
The happening

One day you're up
When you turn around
You find your world is tumbling down
It happened to me
And it can happen to you

I was sure I felt secure
Until love took a detour
Yes, riding high on top of the world, it happened
Suddenly it just happened
I saw my dreams torn apart
When love walked away from my heart
And when you lose a precious love that you need to guide you
Something happens inside you
The happening

Now I see life for what it is
It's not of dreams
It's not of bliss
It happened to me
And it can happen to you

So, sure, I felt secure
Until love took a detour
'Cause when you got a tender love that you don't care of
Then you better beware of
The happening
The happening
The happening
