Once all alone
I was Lost in a world of strangers
No one to trust
On my own, I was lonely
wewe suddenly appeared
It was cloudy before but now it's clear
wewe took away the fear
wewe brought me back to life
Chorus
wewe are the sun
wewe make me shine
au zaidi like the stars
That twinkle at night
wewe are the moon
That glows in my moyo
You're my daytime my nighttime
My world
You're my life
Now I wake up everyday
With this smile upon my face
No zaidi tears, no zaidi pain
Cause wewe upendo me
wewe help me understand
That upendo is the answer to all that I am
And I'am a better man
wewe taught me kwa sharing your life
Chorus
wewe are the sun
wewe make me shine
au zaidi like the stars
That twinkle at night
wewe are the moon
That glows in my moyo
You're my daytime my nighttime
My world
You're my life
wewe gave me strength
When I wasn't strong
wewe gave me hope when all hope is Lost
wewe opened my eyes when I couldn'tt see
upendo was always here waiting for me
I was Lost in a world of strangers
No one to trust
On my own, I was lonely
wewe suddenly appeared
It was cloudy before but now it's clear
wewe took away the fear
wewe brought me back to life
Chorus
wewe are the sun
wewe make me shine
au zaidi like the stars
That twinkle at night
wewe are the moon
That glows in my moyo
You're my daytime my nighttime
My world
You're my life
Now I wake up everyday
With this smile upon my face
No zaidi tears, no zaidi pain
Cause wewe upendo me
wewe help me understand
That upendo is the answer to all that I am
And I'am a better man
wewe taught me kwa sharing your life
Chorus
wewe are the sun
wewe make me shine
au zaidi like the stars
That twinkle at night
wewe are the moon
That glows in my moyo
You're my daytime my nighttime
My world
You're my life
wewe gave me strength
When I wasn't strong
wewe gave me hope when all hope is Lost
wewe opened my eyes when I couldn'tt see
upendo was always here waiting for me
Smile, though your moyo is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If wewe smile With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile if you'll just...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time wewe must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just...
Smile, though your moyo is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If wewe smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just Smile...
That's the time wewe must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just Smile
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If wewe smile With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile if you'll just...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time wewe must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile

Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just Smile...
That's the time wewe must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just Smile
Sadness had been
Close as my inayofuata of kin
Then happy came one siku
Chased my blues away
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like Candy to a child
Stay here and upendo me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Happy, that's wewe
wewe made my life brand new
Lost as a little kondoo, mwana-kondoo was I
Till wewe came in
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like Candy to a child
Stay here and upendo me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be there where sadness was
(Till now)
Where have I been
What lifetime was I in
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I alisema a prayer so silently
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Till now
Happy
Yeah, yeah, happy
Close as my inayofuata of kin
Then happy came one siku
Chased my blues away
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like Candy to a child
Stay here and upendo me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Happy, that's wewe
wewe made my life brand new
Lost as a little kondoo, mwana-kondoo was I
Till wewe came in
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like Candy to a child
Stay here and upendo me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be there where sadness was
(Till now)
Where have I been
What lifetime was I in
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I alisema a prayer so silently
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Till now
Happy
Yeah, yeah, happy

Looking out
Across the nighttime
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs
Get me out
Into the nighttime
Four walls won't hold me
tonight
If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
If they say
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are ev'rywhere
See that girl
She knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
I like lovin' this way
I like lovin' this way
(Instrumental section)
Looking out
Across the morning
Where the city's moyo begins
to beat
Reaching out
I touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street
Repeat Chorus (Ad-lib/fade-out)
