She's Only Happy in the Sun
Chasing Happiness in the Sun: Ben Harper's Melodic Journey
Lyrics
I know you may not want to see me
I understand you might not be eager to encounter me
On your way down from the clouds
As you descend from a state of euphoria or bliss
Would you hear me if I told you
Would my words reach you if I expressed
That my heart is with you now
That my emotions and affection are currently with you
She's only happy in the sun
Her joy and contentment are only present in the sunlight
She's only happy in the sun
Reiteration: Her happiness is solely associated with the sun
Did you find what you were after?
Did you discover what you were seeking?
The pain and the laughter brought you to your knees
The experiences of both pain and joy have humbled you
But if the sun sets you free, sets you free
If the sunset liberates you, grants you freedom
You'll be free indeed, indeed
You will truly be emancipated
She's only happy in the sun
Restating: Her happiness is exclusive to the presence of the sun
She's only happy in the sun
Emphasizing that her joy is found only in sunlight
Every time I hear you laughing, I hear you laughing
Each time I hear your laughter, it evokes sadness in me
It makes me cry
Similar to the narrative of life, where the constant theme is greetings and farewells
Like the story of life, of your life
Metaphorically expressing the cyclical nature of life
Is hello, goodbye
The essence of your life story is encapsulated in the duality of greetings and farewells
She's only happy in the sun
Reiteration: Her joy is exclusively found in the presence of the sun
She's only happy in the sun
Underscoring that her happiness is truly confined to sunlight
She's only happy in the sun
Once again emphasizing her exclusive happiness in the sun
She's only happy in the sun
Concluding: Her contentment is solely associated with the sun
