“When the evening is over,
put your head upon my shoulder
and I'll tell you something I believe is true:
happiness is me and you.
In a world so distorted,
where the worst is best reported
love may be something that will see us through
Happiness is me and you.”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter

All the best people are.
