Sometimes I'm Happy - Bud Powell

Ev’ry day seems like a year,

Sweetheart, when you are not near.

All that you claim must be true,

For I’m just the same as you;

Sometimes I’m happy, sometimes I’m blue,

My disposition depends on you.

I never mind the rain from the skies,

If I can find the sun in your eyes.

Sometimes I love you, sometimes I hate you,

But when I hate you, it’s 'cause I love you.

That’s how I am so what can I do?

I’m happy when I’m with you.

Stars are smiling at me from your eyes.

Sunbeams now there will be in the skies.

Tell me that you will be true!

That will all depend on you,

Sometimes I’m happy, sometimes I’m blue,

My disposition depends on you.

I never mind the rain from the skies,

If I can find the sun in your eyes.

Sometimes I love you, sometimes I hate you,

But when I hate you, it’s 'cause I love you.

That’s how I am so what can I do?

I’m happy when I’m with you.
