All That Happy Nonsense

(Dean Madonia)
Words And Music by Scott Avery
all that happy nonsense
(Scott Avery)


Tell me, is that really you?
When did you get back in town?
Are you passing through?
Old friend, first true love I ever knew
And all that happy nonsense

Tell me like you told me then
Back when we knew everything
You remember when
Tell me
We¹re shatterproof and sure to win...

And all that happy nonsense
Sweet and so naive
Looking at you, baby
I could still believe

Tell me we¹ll make history
With our passion, with my rage
With your honesty
I miss
The man you made me think I¹d be
With all that shining promise

And all that happy nonsense
Sweet and so naive
Looking at you, baby
I could still believe


Look at you standing on the curb
Pretty as you were
Back when I was him
Back when you were her
Seeing you reminds me how it feels
To be so sure, so sure

So good running into you
Time sure flies and we¹ve got lives
We must get back to
Somewhere
Someone believes it all anew

All that happy nonsense...
all that happy nonsense...
