This song is sung by a South African, Craig Lucas and has become quite a hit here.

My 11 year old daughter adores music, but says she cannot understand why this song is called Happy when he sounds so sad.

Perhaps it's one of those songs that you only understand after you've gone through a break up.

These are the lyrics:

And I
I want you to be
I want you to be happy
Even if it's not with me

And I
I'm not saying it won't break my heart
I'll turn into a work of art
You always saw the best in me

Happy
Happy
Happy now

But is it enough to love until you can't breathe?
Is it enough to love until I'm on my knees?
Enough yo love until it kills me, is it enough, enough, enough?

But is it enough if it's deeper than the ocean?
Is it enough if you see in slow motion?
Is it enough if it causes an explosion, is it enough, enough, enough?

And I
I don't wanna say goodbye
Even though I think it's time
For us to come apart

And I
I didn't mean to let you down
I promise I'll be better now
Please just tell me you'll be fine

Happy
Happy
Happy now

But is it enough to love until I can't breath?
Is it enough…
