"Happy Times" - Indie Acoustic Rock

"Happy Times" - Indie Acoustic Rock in the style of Jack Johnson, Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie.

I guess this can be referred to as a break up song, however it is more a song about remembering the wonderful times spent with a loved one. It is dedicated to girl who was, and is a huge part of my life - a first love, although no longer a partner in the romantic sense, is still and always will be a true friend, unconditionally.

LYRICS:
Happy Times
© 2007, Shan Carballo Document creation date: 4-7-07

So I'd like to tell a story
About a girl who cared for me
She grew up in the valley
Another broken family

Both searching for emotion peace,
Trying to find relief,

We had our happy times,
It was temporary
Though you and I
Couldn't last our whole life
Our moments did collide
And we shared our love story
Guess the stars just weren't aligned
Perhaps we'll meet again some other time

In a tiny studio apartment
We tried to build better ways
Our own ideas together
To avoid our previous mistakes

[PRE CHORUS]
