about

A duet featuring Ellen Foley and Karla DeVito

lyrics

I'm Just Happy to Be Here
Foglino

I didn't know what I was doing
It didn't matter anyway
I've been right and I've been ruined
Spent tomorrow yesterday

The ones who won't do what they should
The ones who don't know when to quit
When we were good we were good
When we were bad we were good at it

I'm so glad to be here now
I'm so glad I'm gonna stick around somehow
I'm just happy to be here

Funny thing about a lover
If you ever get the joke
Every flame is like another
All gone up in drifting smoke

All of the sweethearts I've known
Gone off to somebody else
All of the harm that I've done
Seems like I just hurt myself

I'm so glad …

Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Is this thing even on?

There may never be a right time
And there's not much time to spare
It takes the best part of a lifetime
Just to get from here to there

Everyone just passing through
To get to where we get to be
If you get there before I do
Tell them not to wait for me

I'm so glad…
