  • Oh how happy (you have made me)
    Oh how happy (you have made me)
    I have kissed your lips
    A thousand times
    And more times than I can count
    I have called you mine
    You have stood by me
    In my darkest hours

    Oh how happy (you have made me)
    Oh how happy (you have made me)
    Oh how happy (you have made me)
    Oh how happy (you have made me)

    In our years together
    We've got stormy weathers
    But our love has been so strong
    For some how we carry on

    Oh how happy (you have made me)
    Oh how happy (you have made me), ooh, ooh
    You brought joy
    To my empty life, yeah
    And all that was wrong
    You made it right
    Our love (our love)
    Our love (our love)

    Oh how happy (you have made me)
    Oh how happy (you have made me)
    Oh how happy (oh how happy)
    Oh how happy (oh how happy)
    You have made me (you have made me)
    You have made me (you have made me)
    You have made me (you have made me) Writer/s: Edwin Starr
